Last summer I was conversing with a fellow who was interested in spirits and in my knowledge of them. He asked me if i could summon one for him to see. I reached out with my mind and asked the spirit to present themselves. next thing i knew i was looking at a black figure standing on the porch beside me, standing still. I can get them to bang on objects and can often get them to materialize themselves. I have seen them in many ways as well, and the spirits that i talk with tell that they project their forms into the world as they desire, or have the power and knowledge to be able to do. Some do not have the ability. I have seen them as black figures, white light, glowing bodies, and as average people. Sometimes they are just blurs too.
There are many different forms of life in this universe, some are defined as spirits but are not actually spirits. Inorganic entities exist in the world, and allies. They can resemble what we would think of as a spirit but are actually just a different form of life. Many have not had previous incarnations as humans that have passed on. Many are just life forms that inhabit the same plain that we exist within. Shamans and sorcerers of ancient times would work with these entities in many ways and often referred to them as spirits for our understanding but in fact they are not spirits.
Some spirits communicate via the channels of the mind. Meaning that they can appear in a life-like vision that is visible within your mind. They send channels of energy telepathically into your mind. My grandma appeared to me in this manner just after she had passed. I was experiencing a great and unshakable faith, and when i did she appeared in my mind, from the darkness in my mind. She was glowing in light and had the biggest smile on her face as if she approved greatly of my current state. I also have many spirits that live within me, and at times take partial possession of my body. They often create images in my mind of themselves while the communicate with me.
