Some Questions About Spirits ...

Hello all, I have some questions about spirits and it would be very much appreciated and helpful if somebody could answer ...

1. Can a spirit fool you with its identity ? What I mean is, if you ask a spirit who it is ( or who it WAS while it was on Earth ) and it tells you who it was while it was on Earth, is it possible for the spirit to be lying to you ?

2. If so, how long can the spirit lie to you before the truth comes out ?

Again, any answers are well appreciated

To answer your own question, would you assume because someone is dead they are no longer able to lie?

How long is a piece of string?

If the source is of spirit, words will never be necessary. Therefore a lie impossible.
It is the soul to which you do speak, therefore subject to ego, and alas coloured by human nature.

well in evidential mediumship they could lie to the medium but it would ultimately come out as a lie when told to the person getting the reading. when giving any type of reading, I never give a reading unless they knew the deceased so they would know any answers coming through.

how are you speaking to the spirits that they are lying to you or you think they are lying to you?

EternallyHurt, if you can track down the book called Hungry Ghosts by Joe Fisher, I think you'd find it very interesting (and it's a great read, too). It was published about 20 years ago. I'm not sure where you are, but there are quite a few 2nd hand copies in USA, UK and Australia available on abebooks,

1. Look around at all the people you see that are alive - do they lie? I'm sure they do. Spirits are just people. That's all they are. Same as if you are trying to label a Cop. Cops, in the end, are just people, not all of them are nice.

2. That would depend on you, and your own level of intuition. You can easily tell when a person is lying to you, because you can read their facial expressions, their body language, ect. But with a spirit, you may not be able to do this, thus, it comes down to your intuition.

The spirit that approached me was a nice spirit ... it never tried to harm me in any of kind of way, shape, or form ... it consoled me when I was upset and oddly enough, for some reason, I saw a piece of myself inside of the spirit ... its very hard to explain ..

The biggest problem I have with the spirit is, it claimed to be someone who was very well known on Earth ... and I dont know how much credit I can give to something like that.

Therefore, I just assumed the spirit a fake.

Thank you all for your answers, though :)

A good number of people claim to have seen Jesus and felt his presence.

If the spirit you experienced is someone whom you would expect to bring you comfort at such times then it's possible it was that particular person who came from the spirit world.

This doesn't mean to imply they are constantly with you, or a personal guide. It's more than likely they were attracted to you due to the circumstances. For instance, if you enjoy writing poetry, some people claim your work can be influenced by well known poets of the past, poetry being the connecting link that attracts them. Anything is possible I suppose.

I would suggest though to keep grounded by not allowing the spirit's influence to overtake your own sense of reasoning and for you to test spirit at all times by questioning them.

The thing to remember with 'famous' spirits is that they are people, like any other. What matters is your reaction and what you do with that information. Many mediums work with famous names but never tell anyone, because that lays the burden on proof on them and if the spirit person wishes to continue their work, then their previous identity doesn't really matter in the long run.
If your famous person returns, then test their spiritual credibility by asking why they have made themselves known, what work they wish to do with you, etc. If they're just someone mucking about, you'll soon suss it out.

Thank you so much for being respectful to me with your reply
Youre right, "famous" spirits are regular just like everyone else ... I dont even view famous people as "famous" . They are just people, like us.

However, I feel I cant name the spirit that approached me, because it claimed to be a person who was famous on this Earth and people often get sidetracked on spiritual experiences because they get too caught up on the "fame" of the person ... I hope you understand what I mean ...
This makes it very tough for me to speak on my spiritual expereince to almost anyone ...

The spirit told me why it came it to me .. it said it came to me because I needed love. And thats all the spirit basically showed me was love. I didnt feel like the spirit came to me to "use" me necessarily for anything in particular .. I feel like it just came because it did .. I know that sounds very simple,but thats how I felt when it was around.

The spirit isnt around me anymore and I dont think it will be coming back as I believe it advanced to a much "higher plane" .

I only worry about being tricked and deceived by spirits and things and I dont trust myself very often so thats why its hard for me to decipher the truth from the lies ...

Again, thank you so much for your reply
