One of the most frequently asked questions of
psychics and mediums is "What is a ghost?" A ghost is a person’s
soul that is caught between our world and the next dimension
with no physical body.
In my experience, a ghost usually is convinced
that it is still alive. Can you imagine the trauma of waking up
one day to find that no one can hear you or see you? You can no
longer effect things the way you used to. It usually takes time
for them to figure out what they can affect. Movies such as "The
Sixth Sense" and "Ghost" are fairly accurate portrayals of a
ghost’s existence.
There are many reasons why a soul may become
trapped. The number one reason I’ve encountered is FEAR. Fear of
going to hell. Fear of the unknown. Fear of leaving loved ones
without guidance. Just plain fear. Anxiety is another variation
on fear that strongly binds a soul to the Earth plain. Anger can
also bind a soul. Anger is a wound trying to defend itself. The
worst tether to this plain is a loved one who refuses to let go.
This often is not permanent, but delays the soul’s departure.
They have no notion of time anymore. I believe
this is partially for self preservation because once a ghost is
around longer than a normal life span it becomes harder to deny
their condition. Along the same lines is the myth that a ghost
cannot leave certain parameters. It chooses to exist in a
smaller area because it can remain comfortable there. It’s much
easier to deal with the new elements in a single room than with
the monumental changes occurring outside. Think about how
different the landscape is in just the last twenty years.
In my experience, a ghost will retain a fair
amount of that life’s memories. A ghost cannot foresee the
future however and has the same limits in intelligence it had
when in physical form. A ghost is simply a person without a
body.
The emotional body of a ghost is very strong. In
fact the primary way to discern if you are dealing with a ghost
vs. a spirit that has crossed over or another non-physical life
form is through emotion. When a ghost is near or trying to
communicate with you generally the first indicator is strong
emotion. This is usually fear, anger, anxiety or grief. The
trick is to be aware of where in your body you feel this. A
ghost will activate the third eye – the emotion feels like
pressure between your eyes and is usually very intense.
Most people can sense ghosts, they just don’t
understand how to discern whether an emotion is coming from
inside them or from outside. Most people just assume that
emotions must be generated from inside themselves. Becoming more
aware of your body and how it reacts to different emotions is
the first step to
