This article is for those whose homes are
haunted. If you are looking for someone to come and exorcise your home, you
have come to the wrong web site. It has been our experience that there is no
sure fire method for removing spirits from a home. No blessing, no rituals, no
icons, no religious words will "force" the spirits to depart. Now that I have
your attention, I will discuss some of the aspects of having a ghost in your
attic, basement or living room.
You become aware of footsteps going up and
down the stairs, muffled voices, strange smells, cold spots, the feeling of
being watched, appliances turning on and off, hearing your name being called,
finding personal items vanishing and suddenly reappearing elsewhere, seeing
balls of light and black shadows moving about, taking pictures and getting
smoky vapors on film. Perhaps you have a son or daughter who can see and hear the
ghosts. Perhaps these ghosts scares them and they are afraid of sleeping in
their room at night.
A home, apartment or building does not require
a death to take place for it to be haunted. Many new homes are haunted because
the ghost or ghosts like the home and have decided to dwell within. Did you
catch the important word -- decide to dwell. Yes, the spirits think and respond
just like we do. Some times the land is where the spirit is attached and not
the house. Most often the spirits move about without restrictions as to where
they died or where they lived.
Most people are frantic when they discover
that their homes may be haunted by ghosts, what should they do? It has been my
experience that the first reaction is to label the ghosts as demons or some
other evil spirits, especially if the people come from one of the fundamental
Christian sects. they feel threatened by the presence of these creatures from
beyond the grave. They think, "What have I done to merit this kind of ghostly
activity?"
They become frantic because they relate their
haunting to television shows about demons and dark monsters. They call in a
minister or priest to bless the home and cast out these unwanted spirits.
Unfortunately the spirits still remain at large, the blessing did nothing
except peak the activities in the home. Now they are really scared and they
start surfing the web for help?
Sound familiar? Unfortunately this is how most
people respond when they discover they have a ghost or ghosts living with them
in their home. It is sad that folks immediately jump to the false conclusion
that ghosts are evil or demonic simply because they do not understand them.
Ghosts are NOT demons. First, take off your religious rose-colored glasses and
view the events without religious dogmas and fears. Ghosts are people without
bodies. They have intelligences, emotions, personalities and attitudes, just as
they did when they were living.
Do you realize what you just read? Ghosts are
people without bodies, complete with their attitudes, personalities and
emotions. If they were happy campers in life, they will be happy campers in
death. Ghosts are NOT fragmented souls cursed to roam the earth. This is an
outdated philosophy by ill informed ghost researchers who relied upon Ouija
boards and seances for their information. Ghosts exist in a "ghost society" of
their creation.
Just as some people are loners so too are some
spirits. Most hauntings are by more than one ghost, often several. This does
not mean they stay around in our physical realm. They may exist within the
spirit realm and only choose to become active in our domain during the full and
dark moons because of the much stronger geomagnetic fields or during solar
flares.
The spirit realm and the physical realm exist
on this earth, but in different dimensions. The spirit realm may often overlap
our physical realm, bringing the two as one. Other times, we hear noises coming
from the spirit realm, but heard in the physical realm. This is why a person
hears boxes being knocked over in their basement, but no boxes are out of
place. The boxes being knocked over existed in the spirit realm, but was
manifesting the sounds in the physical realm.
Ghosts love to be pranksters. They love a good
joke. They love humor. If you will examine your ghostly experiences, you will
find the pranks were simply harmless pranks that scared the boo-boo out of you
because you fear the unknown. Once you come to an understanding of life after
death and that ghosts are the evidence of life after death, our fears slowly
fade away.
Why are the ghosts here? Some are here because
they want to be, others are anchored here because of unfinished business or
unresolved issues. Something as little as not being able to tell someone that
they love them may anchor a spirit to this realm. We take with us our emotional
baggage, both good and the negative. The negative emotions keep us earthbound,
the positive emotions allows us to soar to higher realms beyond the earth
plane. We must let go of the negative emotions if we want to soar. Bitterness,
anger and resentment are but three of the many negative emotions that we tend
to hang onto throughout our life. These same emotions will anchor us,
preventing us from becoming all that we can be after death.
We can learn from those who have gone before
us. Ghosts should not be feared, but studied so we can learn more about what
happens when we cross beyond the grave. There is life after death and by
understanding ghosts, we can understand what we need to do in this life to
prepare for this transition. The religious folks who fear ghosts also fear
death because they believe they will be going to Heaven or Hell. This fear of
not knowing which place they will be sent often brings forth much fear when
they discover they have a ghost. They quickly discover that their religion does
not deal with the issues of death and the spirits of the dead who return to the
earth. Unfortunately, they do not understand that the spirits never left the
earth at death.
Instead of being fearful, be of brave heart
and learn to love the spirits as spirits. They are an evolved life form in
composition, but they still retain their earth based memories and attitudes.
Don't judge or comdemn them, treat them as you would someone in your peer
group. Speak in a calm, firm voice, show no fear, show love and compassion. If
you dislike something they are doing, ask them to stop and explain why. Explain
if you need some private space, free of spirits, such as in the bathroom or
bedroom. Remember, you can learn to mutally co-exist together in a home without
fear.
For those who would like to know more indepth
material about the spirits of the dead, we have the
Home Study Course that explores
and discussed life after death and how and why the spirits remain here after
death.
