Spirits - are they testing us ?

I want to share a thought, maybe even consider it a message I received. You have free will to decide what it is. The spirits or the spirit world. Many are claiming to see them. There are those who believe some spirits do not know to cross over, as in either not knowing they're dead, or they are lost. Some claim that there are evil spirits. You also have those who use tools to 'prove', it's a spirit, a ghost or the paranormal, all words meaning the same. Now that is all fine and dandy, but here is something to think about. What if it is a test? I know you're thinking 'A Test?' Yep - a test.. You see my ' feelings' and thoughts that have always gone along with our Amy's internal ' feeling' and knowledge. I have named Amy our Psychic Feeler due to her gifted abilities and spiritual background that have come about due to her experiences as a child.

The feeling and thoughts are that Ghosts, Spirits, the Paranormal are a spiritual gift that you are being allowed to view and that they are making contact with you, and you decide and show them by your actions, what you truly believe by how you handle it. Maybe it is a test by the spiritual world of spirits. Some may call it the Summer land, others may call it Heaven or other names depending on their faith and beliefs. What if it was a test? A test to see how spiritual we really are here on earth, are we ready to share a spiritual life after death?

Maybe the spirit world today is testing to see how far away people have fallen from the actual spiritual beliefs of such, when the individuals claim to have a belief. Let's say:

They show themselves as a test, and you have people seeking to prove that it was a spirit with tools other then their internal feelings and knowledge. So there is a showing of doubt unless one can prove it with a tool. They show themselves as a test, and you have individuals trying to chase them away, thus showing that the spirit is not welcomed and also more or less telling the Spirit World that as a human being, the human is more powerful then the Spirit World. They show them selves as a test, and some people believe they are lost or don't know they're dead (that thought has always baffled me when I hear it), thus showing the spirit that one doubts the spirit of the soul's knowledge, and so how could one believe in their own internal soul of knowledge?
They show themselves as a test, one individual sees the spirit and others will not believe until they can get tools in there to prove the existence of such a thing. Strange as it may be, some have been gifted the gift of seeing, feeling and actually being touched by the spirits of the spirit world. These people do not need any proof as they feel it in their own soul, a soul like the soul of the spirit there with them. The test's will go on, as it is strange some need the proof and these tests are to see who they are, as many claim to believe in the spiritual, but yet need the proof of it when it does show itself.

And other's have the internal knowledge of the proof and for them no doubt is given by the spirit world of their spiritual gifted internal knowledge. An internal knowledge gifted to them by the spiritual as we all have been part of the spirit world as we have souls. Strange that the answers have been there for years, yet more doubt is shown today in the need to prove than to believe in.

Just something to think about from me.

There are definately energetic vibrations that communicate ... thru feelings..emotions..that influence our thoughts.... vibrations that bounce off or merge with our energy fields.. to allow inspirations??? messages from??? visions from???? that get attracted to us by our will...intent.... If you think of how like attracts like...how we are taught to create sheilds... or beliefs.,... rituals.. for gaining equalibrium... personal peace...not allowing outside events affect us... or to quieten our minds ... It rearranges our psychic shield... freeing our energetic radar to connect to certain knowi... [More]

http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/01/03/opinion/edblum.php Ghosts are all in your mind Of sparks and spirits MADISON, Wisconsin: When scientists wrote in a recent issue of the journal Nature that they could induce phantom effects — the sensation of being haunted by a shadowy figure — by stimulating the brain with electricity, it made perfect neurological sense. One could even argue that the existence of such sensations explains away the so-called supernatural. In fact, as The New York Times reported, the researchers promptly concluded that ghosts are mere "bodily delusions" — electrical m... [More]

Wow everyone has said, such good things here, that it's mind boggling for me. But I can only talk simply, don't know alot of big words and stuff. But I believe that life is a test for all of us living here one earth together. Where did we come from? We must of come from the spirit world. Well whom created us. It must of been a higher being. We can't remember, it makes it harder for us. So right there, is a test itself. Trying to find out why we are here and whom created us. And what purpose we are here. And trying to find a decent path to follow in life. But it is hard because each of us has o... [More]

Hey it's me again. I just wanted to say was that I did not know people need proof when they see a spirit. I guess because they just look like normal people. But if a spirit is dressed different from a different time period. I wonder if they would believe. I think seeing a spirit person. Is definetly very personal to me. If they are kind, and I do also believe it is a gift. People may see them alot, and not know it, because they look normal.

Why would they be testing us? To see if we are spiritually evolving? To see if we are prepared for death? Is the end of the world coming and we will all have to coexist at once so they are trying to get an idea of how thing will go? I suppose I am just wondering what the objective of such a test would be.

Well some spiritual writings.. beliefs say that the soul doesn't fully enter the child until it is born...before that it makes brief excursions.. to see if the projected life span will suit... It has also been said that we are constantly reborn with the same group of spirits... but we all play different paths... depending on what energies our last lives were mainly focused on... Remember God gives us free will.. choices... so therefore.. the religious brainwashing...or the super ego..of the conscious minds...goes on automatic download when it finally leaves the body... and certain impressions ...

I suppose I am just wondering what the objective of such a test would be. Well ... according to some writings... around about the next decade, something is going to happen that is going to vibrationally shift us... psychically... so that we can nearly all see.. communicate.. be aware of the spirit world... So they could be testing us to see if we are ready for this... [More]
