Dear faithy,

If writing about your experience brings insight or perspective, or lends heed to lessons of consequence, then what would be the need for an apology for sharing it? Whether a thing is interpreted as positive or negative is to be decided by how you or another chooses to respond to it, and what they take away from it.

I have now been trying to take the positive out of my experience, when I think about my experience, I think about how wonderful it was to be blessed with an angel to help me through it and to save me with the most beautiful Celtic Cross I have ever seen

Hm...

Some interesting questions and responses to the few pages that I skimmed through, just 150+ pages is too much on a good day to read.

Though I wonder what Sparrow would say to me. I am, after all, unlike 99.5% of the posters who make use of this forum from what I've seen.

Actually, 99.5% of the members, from what I've seen on this forum, are Westerners [Americans, Brits / UKers, Australians, and maybe a spattering of western Europeans] and Christians or ex-Christians [or similarly highly religious rather than of spiritual belief systems].

But since you asked.

I was born in Niigata Japan, spent my first fifteen years between Japan and spending some years with my mother's sister & husband (British) who had lived in many locations in China for 35 years. Aside from my mum's British / German & Canadian relatives, I also have a number of relatives on both sides living in countries that are oftentimes called "alarmingly atheist" when in reality they are more spiritual and have never entirely lost their old beliefs / customs or the old mythology despite the Church's influence.

My grandmother, for example, has followed and practiced in a "religion" [though not a religion as those in the first paragraph would really ever understand] in a role that has existed widely unchanged for more than 2,000 years. The ancient practitioners were, after all, recorded with reverence by scholars alive during the Han Dynasty.


My point - most of the questions asked already that I read, I already have an answer to either through my own experiences, a relative's, or by someone I have encountered with my traveling. I have, after all, thanks to my career travelled lots. When living in India with my cousin (who has lived there almost his entire life), during summer break from university, for example, the village did have a sādhu.

That doesn't mean I don't have questions.


But Sparrow's commentary at the start they could apparently talk with and/or travel in the afterlife for answers caught my eye. After all, the after life, is all encompassing. So even if my skin green, my cornea indigo, the irises glowing red, and I had slits for nostrils Sparrow should be capable of seeking an answer right?

Dear faithy,

We thank you for sharing your story with us.

The importance of the symbolism of the Celtic cross is really to do with you empowering yourself and granting yourself authority over your own energy space. You can invoke equally effective experiences using symbolisms of a much more personal nature, such as photographs of positive memories or gifts from loved ones. The power within the experience comes not from the object but the meaning it holds for the individual and the energy placed into it, as is the same for those working with crystals.

With your interaction with fear, remember it is not some affliction you must tear from your soul and something that you must recoil from. It is not fear itself which malevolent entities use against you, it is your relationship to fear and your response to it. Embrace fear with courage of character, through wisdom that you are the creator of your own experience of reality; you are your own authority on how you wish to define your own relationships with your thoughts, feelings and responses to them.

Hi
do spirits use doors to come through our reality ?
And do higher dimension spirits use a beam of light to come to eat which I've seen many times but in energy for ?

Hi, new here but full of a lot of information about the Afterlife, or as I call it, the "Life between Lives". I've read a lot about the subject, and after researching, have come to some fairly accurate conclusions, I feel. So if anyone has any questions, I may be able to help, as well.

My mom recently died, and before she died (I live 700 miles away from where she lived), I had my sister put the phone up to her ear, and told her I loved her and will miss her, but that soon she will feel better. She was ill with COPD from smoking most of her whole life, and could not breathe. I told her soon that she is going to be in her forest, barefoot and in a white flowing light dress, and the forest is going to give way to a beautiful sunny meadow, which was her happy place she always envisioned in life. A few weeks later a co-worker of mine told me she had a quick vision of a young lady with blonde hair (my mom's hair was blonde when she was younger) in a white dress in a meadow filled with beautiful flowers. She somehow just "felt" a connection between me and this lady, I knew then, that she had listened to me, and that I will again meet her one day, perhaps in that same meadow. Unless she chooses to come join me at MY happy place ;-)

I've been reading elsewhere that there is a method of communicating by those in this world with their departed loved ones.

It's said that a device has been invented by spirit scientists and is being used by Portugese speakers in Brazil. It provides a way for spirits to communicate their thoughts through the device to their loved ones still alive. The thoughts are changed to a vibration that interacts with electronic equipment in this world. The reverse happens for those communicating from this world. It's called 'Instrumental TransCommunication with Stations' and work is being carried on to create another communication station but for English speakers.

Will you please tell us what you know, Sparrow, or what you can find out about this?
