Yes-I was 10,and my brother (who was 12) and my mother all saw a man materialize at her office when we stopped by on a Saturday so she could pick up some paperwork. We were the only ones there-and we saw him fade away. It turned out,prior to my mother working there,a man had died of a heart attack at his desk.

Yes, and its happened without my asking for it several times--the sensation of having left my body, observing myself and surroundings from a different perspective (like from above, or to the side) and then when my conscious mind took over with a thought like "Wait, this can't be happening" I'd be abruptly brought back with a jolt.\n \nIn meditation its occurred several times, especially if you've constructed it in such a way that you're open to it. One particular intense time was during a specialized meditation I've done only once, "Calling Back the Soul"--when you send your astral body to collect/invite back all the pieces and remnants of your soul that may still be "stuck" in emotionally charged locales. That was a very powerful and intense experience--I was travelling to a lot of places--but I did feel more complete afterwards.\n\nI also met a Medical Intuitive/Lakota Elder who has the gift (burden? privilege?) of doing it as part of her healing work. She was asked to find out if someone's brother had survived the tsunami in Thailand, so she projected herself in search of him and not only "found" him alive, but was able to accurately describe his surroundings at the time of her journey. She relayed it to the sister, and the very next day the sister received confirmation that he was alive and...you guessed it....in the location that the medical intuitive had described.\n\nSo its not just for personal experience, it is a gift that can be cultivated to help others as well.\n\nnamaste.

Yes.  It can also be a very spiritual experience.  They are, after all, God's creatures.

At one point in my life I was really depressed. i'm talking clinical depression here, the kind you get when the chemicals in your brain get mixed up. i was a Christian at this point, but had been drifting away from God.\nanyway, i was standing by my window one day. at this point i was closer to committing suicide then i had ever been, and was contemplating the action right then. as i stood there, i suddenly felt this overwhelming prescence.\ni can't really describe what happened next, (it's too personal) but God came to me. i spent some time in prayer, just pouring out my heart. when i left my room, i felt like a completely different person. everything literally looked brighter.\n5 years later, i'm still following the Lord and couldn't be happier. i really believe that God saved my life that day, both spiritually and physically.

i have seen something odd twice. the first one when i was a child. i woke in the night and for no reason felt compelled to go into the kitchen and look out of the window, when i did there was a round light in the sky which was stationary. after a few seconds it zig zagged with incredible speed,, 3 or 4 times bfore shooting off. i was facsinated at the time and could not believe my eyes, and for many years i doubted my own experience until one day i read about someone who spoke word for word about what i had seen in a magazine and i have never doubted myself since. this is true and those doubting thomases out there will always scoff, but i say to them scoff away it is of no consequence to me. i would love to know of any other genuine sightings.

No I haven't seen them. We have the Bible to let us know what God wants, how to be saved, how to live the christian life, etc.\n\nThis is a trick of demons. the Bible says Satan can come as a being of light.\n\n2 Cor. 11:14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

I had a vision from God and was shown something in my future. I forgot about it after awhile, when 3 years later it was revealed to me exactly as seen,& spoken to me by God.Tears sprang to my eyes as I realized the promise & vision He had revealed to me 3 years earlier. Thank-you Jesus!

Yes, I have. Once when I was really upset I was talking to God and I felt someone hug me and I knew it was God. The inner pain I was feeling left and I felt much better.

Aparently something because this happened to me.\n\nSeveral years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away. \n\nWhile driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.\n\nThree days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to. \n\nI feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.\nDuring the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible. \n\nI can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.\n\n I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings. \n\nYour brother don

I have not, and dread the day it happens for I am sure it will be one of, if not the saddest day of my life.  Do not listen to answers that say the soul does not exist.  If you believe in the soul, and that it exists, than it does.  That is your belief.  I am sorry for your loss, and hope that with time, the pain will ease.  peace and love

Finally !! I've been blessed with this gift to occasionally see the spiritual world. Yes, I've seen both angels and demons. First thing first, I am a Christian, praised be the Lord.\nHere we go. First time I've seen angels was when a car almost hit me (it stopped maybe 1 inch away) on the crosswalk. It was really really scarry, but when I got home, in my prayer time, God brought to my mind the same scene, and I saw all around and above me angels with bows ready to jump on/stop/hit/destroy the car that was about to hit me. Ever since there have been oher experiences, but it would take a lot of space. \nDemons. I went to a Christian youth camp with my church, and the place was the same one that a martial arts campers used to go to. So at night me and 5 other people could see demons all around us. On the tents, houses, in the grass, really scarry. It's not that you really see them, that would probably be way too much for human that God would allow. But I see their silhouettes, and I picture them in my imagination. \nThese things aren't something to be focusing on, and God only gives me this ability whenever I'm in the midst of His presence or when something really intense is going on in the spiritual world. Lots of things to consider. \nSchneb is right. These things aren't exactly something you would want to have or discuss about. Better focus on more useful things

What a good experience!\n\nDo you always communicate with the voice? or you see him?\nDo you already know the voice of Jesus? how many times did it happen (same kind of this experience)? You are blessed.\n\nGOD BLESSED US!

I've heard of this, but don't know of 1st-hand examples.\n\nthe best part? you get to explore spirituality on your own terms, yet within a solidly self-responsible framework. It's quite beautiful and liberating.

I saw my first spirit when I was 14. It was the summer of 1987.(showing my age)My cousin's best friend was killed in a bicycle accident. About 2 months after his death, he made his appearance at my cousin's house outside his bedroom. Since then I seen the spirit of my grandfather (who died a year before my birth) on the 25th anniversary of his death. I believe in psychic abilities...somehow I can receive people's thoughts, but, unable to do it at my own whim. I am able to "know" information about someone that just pops into my head. Again it is random. Try this short activity, when the phone rings *minus caller id* predict who will be on the receiving end. Think of someone that you haven't been in contact in a long time, see if you bump into them or hear from them.

Yes and yes.  On more than one occasion I have either seen, heard, or felt the spirit of someone who had passed.  A little boy use to visit me at regular intervals.  He would stand next to my bed until I would sense him and open my eyes.  He would smile, then disappear.  I haven't seen him since my second son has been born.  We smell smoke every time my wife's grandfather is near.  In our old house, there were cold spots that moved around the house.  Our cats would move around the spots like they were trying to avoid running into someone.  I watched two surgeries being preformed on myself and was even able to give details and repeat parts of conversations and actions of the doctors and nurses.
