We even named her Cassie (The feminine of Caspar the friendly ghost). While we lived there, we could hear footsteps upstairs. Cassie also slammed our bedroom door. Then one night she said eh, eh, eh. no, no, no. Man said real loud, you're dead please leave. We never heard anything from Cassie since. I know it sounds weird but this is absolutely true!!!Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05401667744228083776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-82749888743673857332007-07-15T15:52:00.000-06:002007-07-15T15:52:00.000-06:00Annie - I'm finding that many people have similar ...Annie - I'm finding that many people have similar beliefs of late. I wonder if this is new or just that we finally feel it is OK to reveal some nontraditional ideas. And yes, since I began to commune with the spirit, I've felt an even greater peace than before. Now needs can be met both ways.<BR/><BR/>Jenster - I had to chuckle at your comment re: your conservativism, if that is a word. And your distinction between "religious" and "spiritual" is on target. I think it is not necessarily unusual to realize our path isn't quite what we thought when we open our senses and actually look at our belief system. Understanding and learning about others doesn't necessarily "change" your basic platform, but it does open your mind to be tolerant and respectful. I haven't found any of my beliefs to be dangerous or undermining to the platform of the organized religion that I used to follow. Rather, I find that there is simply more than I experienced before. I love being in a state of awe at the wonder of the world; I think I was missing out when I limited myself. Yes, that's how we grow, and growth is good.<BR/><BR/> <BR/>Gypsy Moth - I've been reading a lot about the relationship between mental/emotional and physical health, and I think you're right on target. The mind is sick before the body. Consider the health and physical condition of *both* who live in that house! I'd surely try to engage the spirits, and remember to keep yourself focused positively, even on the "bad" days. They need some good energy, for sure. I would love for you to smudge the house and both of them, but I know that would be rejected. In fact, you might get thrown out!! Good luck, and I'll see you in a couple days.Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-8472366384713296642007-07-15T14:37:00.001-06:002007-07-15T14:37:00.001-06:00Last night I realized that the house I'm staying i...Last night I realized that the house I'm staying in has a "dead" feeling to me. Now why would that be? The owners are religious, church-going people so one would expect a vibration of that, at least. As you know, my SIL is undergoing chemo, so I'm wondering if the deadness in the house finally battered down her defenses and brought on the cancer? <BR/><BR/>Your post of 7/14 reminds me, I need to do some meditating here, and maybe even talking to spirits to see if the vibes will lift.

I suspect you're right about the spirit and the connection and I think it's amazing. I have a story of spirits that I've not told a soul since it happened on Valentine's Day.

I'm always interested in knowing about other's beliefs and whether I agree with them or not isn't important. Whether they agree with me or not isn't important. What matters at the end of the day is that I'm true to what I believe. And sometimes I question certain aspects of my beliefs and I think that's a great thing. It's how we grow.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm not quite as conservative as I thought. :o)Jensterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15639970448069931471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-4057088970781555342007-07-15T10:07:00.000-06:002007-07-15T10:07:00.000-06:00I totally belive in spirits and ghosts and the pre...I totally belive in spirits and ghosts and the presence of souls...<BR/><BR/>Wise of you to communicate with who was in your home space, and I am glad he/she is at peace now with you being there, and/or your awareness of them and thier needs.Constancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02702046097986873803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-29278033395336967092007-07-15T09:06:00.000-06:002007-07-15T09:06:00.000-06:00Caroline - I know you've sensed your grandmother's...Caroline - I know you've sensed your grandmother's presence there in the house, and I think that is great. When we are small, I suspect that all of us had some of those night time fears. I'd bet that the fear comes from the imagination, while the pleasant visitations are from spirits. I hope you find much happiness, with or without the spirits in the new place! That video was interesting. Surely makes you wonder, doesn't it? But I wondered why that person was filming in the dark just at that moment. ??<BR/><BR/>Hi, Jen! I'm glad you learned about smudging. One of the coolest things about the Native American way is that there is little negative in their spirituality. At least I pick up less than I find in other major groups. I like that.<BR/><BR/>Jenster - I was a conservative Christian, too, but I felt something missing, so I began reading, first about "religion" and then about "spirituality." My views changed, or rather grew, as I accepted the idea that I was thinking to narrowly. I enjoy that my spiritual world is now broader and more encompassing, and I feel a closeness with people of many religions. I like that.<BR/><BR/>Well, when you come to visit with your sister, let me know, and we'll meet for coffee or lunch. <BR/><BR/>And thanks for not thinking I'm nuts!<BR/><BR/>Oh, Seven, you crack me up! But I would agree with your friend ... I've become more intuitive as I've focused on allowing my positive outflow to increase. I'm more aware of and responsive to others and their energies, and I'm feeling more of the positive energies returning to me, as well. Next time I speak with the spirit, I'll check on the appropriateness of gifts. I'll let you know. You are in for sharing the cost of said gift, right? :) And peace to you, also, Scoundrel, I mean, Seven.Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-15980314674228083122007-07-15T08:06:00.000-06:002007-07-15T08:06:00.000-06:00Whats the perfect gift for a Native American Spiri...Whats the perfect gift for a Native American Spirit?<BR/>Cologne or Perfume depending on gender. Perhaps a shower?<BR/>I have read that distinctive smells can originate from 'a visitor'.....maybe this is a reality all the time but only the sensitive (such as yourself) can pick up on it. It was another very sensitive soul (friend) that told me this.<BR/>Anyway, glad the restless souls are less smelly.<BR/>Peace<BR/>SevenSevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17643893888470966419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-83629040942873368932007-07-15T06:59:00.000-06:002007-07-15T06:59:00.000-06:00I'm a rather conservative Christian, HOWEVER, I've...I'm a rather conservative Christian, HOWEVER, I've learned not to discount <I>things</I>.

Being in my Grandmothers house there are times when I feel her spirit here. It is often times very comforting.<BR/><BR/>When I was little I used to think there was someone after me, espeically when I was in a dark room. I used to think it was the devil trying to get me, but now I wonder if it was just a spirit. Huh, interesting isn't it.<BR/><BR/>Reading your post made me excited to get into my new place.
