What's your opinion on Medium's, thos who claim they can communicate with the dead.?

I think there are very few honest mediums.  But I'm not prepared to say there are none.  I believe in the human soul, and so I believe it is at least theoretically possible for a person to be in contact across the barrier between life and death.  \n\nI must admit, though, that I expected to have stronger evidence for my theories when Steve died.  I figured he'd come tell me what it was like.  All I've gotten so far is a specific local spot where I feel the contact is centered.  I may have it tattooed.  It's in the upper part of my left breast, parallel with the aquamarine stone that hangs on the chain I wear all the time (except in the shower), which Steve gave me soon after we met over 20 years ago.  \n\nBut then Steve committed suicide, so he may not have the necessary serenity to make such a contact.  I hope he knows I have forgiven him.  Maybe he'll get in touch more obviously someday.  I'm sure not prepared to spend money for a medium to make the contact, though.

If you wish to speak with a medium you must go to a recognized Spiritual Church and enquire there. Stay for the service a message may be there for you. Please do not waste your money on answering adverts in your local paper. It is important for you that you see a medium face to face and she will help you if she can. Remember Spirit come to us when they have something to say not because you want to hear  from them. Do not be disappointed if your special person does not come through. wishing you the love and light with the hope that you will hear from your special person.   Yia

i think so.  of course i also don't consider them to be dead.  i consider them to be alive on another level of existence.  i also sometimes think that those communicating with us might not be them, but a higher spiritual entity communicating to us through the image of that loved one because it's someone we'll recognize and pay attention to as opposed to some strange person that we don't recognize at all.  who knows.

It is a deception. These are called in the Bible, "familiar spirits". Demonic entities know all about your deceased loved ones and can mimic them will all sorts of facts or the way they appear. They can talk via Ouija boards and other such "entries". This is why movies and television shows that glorify these as being authentic are not healthy for you--spiritually.

We are sensitive to things that other people may ignore.\nI have not seen dead people but I have certainly spoken with some. I think many people could do this if they would be alone without distractions and have the feeling like they would like to do this. There are a great many spirits that would love to communicate with loved ones on this side.\nIt is just a feeling like I am aware of things that can't be seen. Spirits are attracted to me for my ability to sense things that are sort of just on the other side of the "curtain." I am just not into things in this world as much as I am in the other world for some reason.\nPeople who are possessed are those who are doing things that are bad and in a way welcome demons into their bodies.\nThey don't welcome demons deliberately, but when you use drugs, drink to excess, or do certain thihngs to your body that alters it in negative ways, in other words you do negative destructive things deliberatley, you break the delicate shell that protects you and deomns then can entr your body and subtly exercise control over you.

Typically a "medium" needs to be in contact with you, hear your voice, etc.  It's just a means of making you real.  A "medium" has a gift that allows spirits in and without direct contact with a blood relative it is really difficult to pick out which spirit belongs to whom.  I've had some experience in the area, but I truly can't get a good read on what spirit is trying to come through without having some sort of contact with the person that is inquiring about the spirit.

I like to think that you can still interact with other souls in the afterlife, if there is one... but I also wonder if our souls are just energy, and we just dissipate into nothingness when we die... but that can't be true, right? Otherwise this life would make no sense.

Okay....\n\nWhat many people think of as proof that ghosts exists is merely something they've experienced but can't explain in any other way than saying that it was a ghost.\n\nPeople who are unable to sleep for several days because of an illness, for example, might hallucinate and "see" dead relatives while he is still awake. A person who didn't know it was the brain taking time out to "dream" while awake might believe that his dead relatives came back to comfort him in his illness.\n\nPhotographs of ghosts (orbs, etc.) are little more than way-out-of-focus specks of dust or other airborne particles too close to the flash and lens of the camera.\n\nStill other photographs are merely misuse of the camera. A shaky hand can cause blurs. A person who doesn't know how to properly use the "night portait" setting on a camera might see "energy" from distant lights.\n\nWhen people visit a "haunted house" they've usually been told what "ghost" is there and where. That biases the visitor--even subconciously--and the visitor will then "feel" something.\n\nJohn Edward, Sylvia Browne and other "psychics" who claim to talk to the dead are only skilled in an art called "Cold Reading". A major factor in a successful "Cold Reading" is the psychic tossing out very vague references ("I'm seeing water.") and the person being "read" only remembering the "hits"--the vague references the psychic got right--and forgetting the "misses".\n\nThere is always an explaination to a "ghostly experience". It's just that the person who experienced it may not know what it is other than to believe it was a ghost.

Some have access to familiar spirits who will reveal things that only departed loved ones would know. Some just use intuition. Others use "tricks". Best to stear clear.

I have encountered them, and have quite a substantial list of friends who have encountered them. Some things just exist whether you want to believe it or not.\n\nI have a few theories on how someone becomes a ghost, but I should probably explain that I believe in person truth, first. I believe that if Mary believes that she will go to Heaven when she dies, she will go to Heaven when she dies; if Joe believes in reincarnation, he will be reincarnated; if Lucy doesn’t believe in afterlife, than her body will decompose and she will cease to exist. Thus, one way someone could become a ghost, is if that's what they believe will happen to them when they die. For the sake of further clarification, I believe a ghost to be the soul of a living being (including plants and animals) who’s body dies.\n\nAnother way would be if someone dies when they are unsure of what will happen to them after death - their soul is then stuck in limbo until they figure it out. Someone might also become a ghost if there is at least one lesson they have not learned or one goal they have not completed (predetermined by fate), and are stuck in limbo until they learn the lesson(s) and/or complete the goal(s). A third way would be if someone still alive is incapable of coping with the death, and consequently holds that soul back from moving forward until they are able to let go. Finally, someone may also choose to stay behind, for personal reasons.\n\nHere's a little story if you need some convincing: My late dog, Kristy, stayed behind as a ghost for some time after she died early January of 2005. My fiancé and I were watching my parents' house while they were away for a few days. We were the only living beings there, and we had both been downstairs for the past few hours. I went upstairs to fetch something from my room, and just outside my door, I saw something I couldn't explain away as something natural. There was an oval-shaped area of carpet, the size of Kristy when she laid down, that was matted down and warm to the touch, as if she had just been lying there not moments ago. I didn't think much of it as I knew she was still around; I would occasionally feel her presence or even hear the jingling of her collar, as if she were scratching her neck, just beside me. She appeared to stay for a while after we adopted our new puppy, Sam. He was remarkably easy to housebreak, and I'm sure Kristy had a hand in it. I think she also stayed behind to somewhat "approve" of Sam, and to be assured that he was not her replacement.

as a spiritualist who believe in spirit communication , you can imagine the amount of misconeptions there are abotu my beliefs\n\nthe main ones are that we are in communication with demons...\nthis is so far from the truth ... spirit are beautiful and bring people closer to God ( i would not understand what demons would get out of doing that if it were them )\npeople also believe we do seances or call spirit in some way and that we are disturbing them .... we never call spirit , we open to spirit and if spirit wish to come they will .... that is why no one should promise a specific spirit\nthere are so many that this is just the tip of the iceberg with misconceptions\nbut i am always thankful of the opportunity to speak up about them \nthank you xx

Those who are dead cannot communicate.  By Christian teachings those that are dead do not ascend to Heaven until the Second Coming.  Until then, they're dead.

I dont beleive in "ghosts," per se, butI do believe that God and/or Satan can send "spirit-things" lol to Earth. I know that doesn't make much sense, its hard to explain.

I see, if it is a human spirit, the person the spirit was in live.  They are kind of washout like a old photo that as faded.  If it is inhuman I see it in its true form which usually not a pleasant thing to see.  By the why I never ask for money when helping out in a haunting.  I turn it down when it is offered.

A month ago I started investigating the paranormal.  I'm starting out in cemetaries.  I bring with me a digital camera and a digital voice recorder.  I haven't yet gotten any pictures of apparitions.  I do, however, have quite a bit of EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon).  I've heard anything from children laughing to moans.  From someone blowing directly into the mic to clearly whispered phrases.  Just two nights ago I recorded 16 minutes worth of EVP.  I found 12 different spots where there was communication.  One female whispered, "Can you hear that?"  Immediately after, a man chuckled and moaned.  My partner recorded someone saying, "Go back" and later, "Interesting."  It was so neat to listen to.  I will soon have the chance to investigate the home of my boyfriend's aunt and also his cousin's house.  Both of which have major activity.

Communicating with an angel is communicating with an acutal spirit being.\nNot sure waht exactly you mean by communicating with the Light via telpathy. Sometimes you can talk directly to your soul. Sometimes you can communicate with your spirit guides via telepathy and i suspect this is what you are refering to.\nPeople hear voices when they have schizophrenia, which I believe may be actually hearing what is going on in the spirit world possibly.\nOr you can have psychic voices in your head which can be dead ancestors talking to you.
