Conversing with spirits

Shewhomustbe...

Is it possible for a spirit to be strong enough to express clear requests and their reactions if they have/have not be followed?

solas

It took me a bit before I understood the question.

I believe that we may all be inspired to some degree, if you feel inspired to do something or be something or be somewhere I personally think that it would be better for me to do it for my own reasons, for myself, than to do it because it was "requested of me".

Theres a song by the waterboys with the lyrics, "every breath is yours.. beloved" which comes to mind while trying to explain myself.
Hope that makes sense too.

Sorry solas, just re-read my post and while it made perfect sense to me when I wrote it I can now see it wouldn't to anyone else!

What I meant to say was a 'dead' spirit.This entity is making clear specific requests and when if they are or are not followed expressing again clear reactions.

Basically is it possible to have a conversation with someone dead not just receive tidbits of info?

solas

I've had some experiences in the past which would suggest so, but I've had to curb my beliefs.
Have you any experiences which would validate such a scenario?


<edit>
just re-read your post.
Do you mean in the sense of giving spirit messages?
I have found in the past that sometimes if I receive information and its not relayed/conveyed, that "information" will hang around until it is. (which is why I'm not inclined toward spiritualism so much these days )

It's difficult to determine the situation here, you can pm me if you like.

I believe you can get snippets of information from spirits and have a full blown conversation. Advice or information often pops into my head (I can usually tell who it is by the phrases or words used - sometimes though I think, where did that come from?) and I will see a face or hear the name of a dead relative. I have no doubts - I know you can talk to the dead whether personally or through a medium.

If a spirit has made requests to you, it is your own Personal Judgement whether to carry out or not. (The same as if the person was still alive)

I would say yes, but it would be the exception rather than the rule. I do wonder what you are being asked, as 'happy' spirits do not try to interfere in the lives of the living.

Bear in mind that sceptical people will say what you are experiencing could be psychosis

I am going thru a period of intense self doubt at the moment so am not working in this way at all, but I have had very strong 'conversation' type experiences before, where you knew what the spirit wanted, and their emotions at not getting it.

To tell the full story it is not I who is having these experiences, it is my mother.

Presently we are estranged but in the past I encouraged her to accept any psychic ability she may have as a gift rather than a burden. I myself have never (to my knowledge) experienced a 'direct' contact but constantly use my sixth sense.
I absolutely have faith in the 'dead' being able to contact but agree with KatieK that good ones see no reason to interfere in our lives, my mother also said as much, however.....
my brother was visiting me over his Easter holidays and sometimes depending on her mood things can be made difficult for us (he's 15 and lives in Dublin, I live in Longford, before he's allowed to see me he has to engage in what can only be described as UN negotiations)
Anyway back to the story,
he came down on the 27th (Sun) and he was going back home on the 31st (Thurs) as it fit both our schedules.
On the Wed night we got a call from our father to say he was allowed stay until Sun, this baffled us as he hadn't asked & needed to get home for football etc. We tried ringing back but no-one would answer any phone.
He went home on Thurs.

When he was finally able to contact me he told me the reason that he was told to stay until the Sun was because my mother's dead brother had told her he was to stay with me and after he'd gone home he (my uncle) told her (my mother) he was angry because he didn't.

My issue with this is that I would consider this a direct interference (and one that makes no sense)

I find this kind of thing worrying, not because of the spiritual element, but because a possibly unhappy person is looking outside of themselves too much for answers to living. If your uncle was a living breathing person I would still have a problem with his dictating! That said, I wonder how much of this is actual spirit contact and how much is your mum. (Im not being insensitive here, sometimes when I am unhappy I cling to the psychic side too much and maybe see things that are coming from my own mind. Its for that reason I am 'shut down' at the minute. It helps to take a break and ground for a while.) If this is full spirit contact and the messages are genuine, my advice would be block it for a while, it doesnt sound healthy. I doubt your mum will want to hear that tho.
