Something I want to share

I was in my late 40's before i knew anything about mediums, clairevoyance etc. I was brought up in a 'christian' tradition which taught that all spirits were evil.

Just very recently I realized that I do believe in God, the greater good and love that comes from a higher level, but I don't believe in the traditional Christian doctrins.

I became a rebel and challenged doctrine as well as the clear anomolies in the Bible. I challenged my RE teacher--Why will the members of tribes remote from civilization not be saved? The answer was not to my liking -the damnation of innocents is clearly 'WRONG'.


I don't see Bible as the word of God, even though it has a lot of wisdom in it, especially the things that Jesus said.

The Bible is so full of contradictions, I am amazed at how some follow it so closely. I have only come to accept the teachings of Jesus since finding spirit!!! How amazing is that! Christian churches and their doctrines pushed me away from him--but the discovery of spirit showed me what a great man and great 'healer' he was.

To get to my point: I am afraid of contacting people in the spirit world. Christianity is very strict about this and trying to contact the spirit world is forbidden.

Of course it is very strict about this--they want you to follow their way-even though it is not fully truthful.

Christianity also teaches that if you manage to reach your deceased love one, it's not actually him, but an evil spirit that will speak in the voice of your loved one. This sounds horrific to me and I have successfully been threatened away from interfering with the spirit world.

There are mischievious spirits--the character we have in life generally continues into the next world. I have yet to experience an 'evil' spirit. With proper guidance and training it is possible to protect yourself from the spirits that do not have your best interests at heart. Your loved ones will communicate with them -but you have to let them-it is your choice NOT theirs.

I don't have an overwhelming need to talk to people on the other side, but sometimes I feel I need a proof that there is afterlife. Also, my uncle was brutally murdered when I was 6 months old and it was devastating to my grandfather, who passed away a few years ago. Sometimes I feel like I'd like to hear that they are together and happy.

If you are spiritual person, you can see the truth in all religions. This is the reason that the some christian people are travelling to different countries to explore the truth and concepts in the religions.
If you are spiritual minded, you can enjoy all the good concepts provided by all religions in this world. All are different paths to the same goal.
All religions stem from the same source.

It is better to be spiritual and see the divine light from all angels rather than attaching to a single religion and be narrowly focused. Universe is based on the wholeness concept.It is a like a single flower of God. All religions are just petals in this single flower.You can enjoy the freshness of the whole flower instead of just smelling one petal.
Stay well friend.

The fear is rooted pretty deep and maybe trying to talk with the deceased ones is not for me, but at least I know that the bonds we form and the love we share in this life, continues even after death :)
