Oh you mean this post:
Not all beings do maintain their individual characteristics after death. There are many different states (or planes) of existence. The emotional/personality aspect of being is closest to physical being.
In life, people who have no other psychic experiences, seem to still pick up on the feelings and thoughts of those that they are emotionally close to. It seems to me that, the continuation of the personality/ego after death is related to the emotional pull between people. In this way, you mention that you don't want them to dissolve, and I don't believe they will until both you and they choose to take that journey.
LOL, no I didn't "miss" it but it reads like a lecture or speech and not like a sharing of your own Medium-ship experiences or even knowledge. I recommend you use more 'I' statements than: "It seems to me" and "I don't believe" comments, which do not look like your own experiences at all. Sharing is about saying what is true FOR YOU and not offering opinions or a lecture. Perhaps you could offer your own, actual, real and personal experiences and knowledge, as a Medium, on this topic.
Those words are used because I find the evidential mediumship of spiritualism uncomfortable to listen to.
I looked up: evidential mediumship and it fits what I've experienced with several Mediums although, with Irene, they don't have to "convince" me that she is really there at the Readings. Why is it uncomfortable to listen to?
However, over the years I have listened to evidential mediums say many times that giving evidence of an afterlife helps to comfort people that have lost loved ones. Ive also listened to people seking confirmation from evidential mediums that their loved ones are living in an afterlife and they are going to be reunited. So i try to tread carefully in respect of thhe needs and beliefs of others, including you.
I accept and respect that but I still don't understand why "evidence" is needed other than where a client CANNOT accept that their loved one (or whoever) is still alive and present at the Reading.
You have now found a thread in which I have shared my experiences of discarnated people, so I wont bother repeating that.
Sorry but I don't recall where that thread is. Please link me to it again.......
What I will say, is that my experience of spirit beyond the mental/emotional afterlife that you spoke of, shows that we are capeable of existance across different states of conciousness and we exist in those multiple states.
While I do not deeply study this stuff, I can see that you may be referring to the spirit(s) of plants or other kinds of inanimate beings/objects throughout the universe that are generally thought to not have a "spirit", consciousness or being (words can be maddening!). I accept the existence of these "different" states even if I have no direct experience with them other than through Irene and that's not a close involvement by me with or inside of the Afterlife as I currently know or understand it.
As a not interested in evidence medium,
What does "not interested" mean?
I communicate with spirit energy that is neither dissolved or living as their physical or mental/emotional self. The only spirits that I have ever been in touch with in the mental state, are those that still have an emotional connection in physical form.
This is way over my head now and I can't even think of a meaningful question. Would this be the spirit energy of, say, a: rock, water, air, light, something invisible, pure imagination, etc.?
Likewise, the only beings that evidential mediums find the accepted evidence from, are discarnates that still have an emotional bond in the physical plane. Based on that experience, I believe that spirits in the mental emotional state after death are in that state because they need to be for them or for a loved one still in physical form.
Yes, I can see that Irene needs to contact me as a person or in a form that I can recognize as being her, Irene, even if she, as spirit now, no longer holds any of Irene's personal or physical characteristics over there. It must be weird to be spirit and still have to express as a "person" to us Incarnates, in this plane, for a connection or communication between the two (or more) planes. I am so limited in my knowledge of spirit, planes, the afterlife and other esoteric stuff that I don't know where to go next on this topic.
It's enough that my late wife is still able and willing to come visit me from time to time and let me know that she is still alive and well. When I want more detailed connections, I go to some local Reader and Irene is instantly there with her loving, pleasant personality and hilariously good humor. Just knowing how good it is for her over in that dimension is all I need at this time.
Thank you for offering some more information in this thread and please accept my gratitude and best wishes to and for you,
Yours,
jim & irene
