My earliest experiences relating to spiritualism began when I was a kid where I had past-life memories that came on spontaneously here and there. I can even remember exactly where I was and what I was doing (in my current life) when these memories happened. This was different than imagination, which you instantly know is not true. With each memory I recalled details as well as feelings. These memories were me but from where, and when? I remember a life of a soldier, of being locked in a dark room with a dirt floor, of being in a high-rise looking out the window and being aware that a plane was flying around outside (not 9/11)... It was not until later that I recalled that life in its entirety. I had about 10-15 of these memories, all from the same life, but as I grew older I stopped recalling them.  

Nothing else of note happened until my early-20s. I was not religious, spiritual and had no opinion then of life after death. As far as I was concerned if death just meant eternal blackness and the cessation of everything I would’ve been perfectly fine with that. Things however were about to change. 

I had just bought a cross necklace for the looks. One night as I was lying in bed I decided to try it on for the first time. Instantly I realized that I could not move, and with the realization that I had become paralyzed I felt an incredible surge of warmth that permeated my entire being. This feeling of total peace was so intense that if someone had asked me to feel anger, jealousy or any other negative emotion it would have been impossible. This feeling lasted maybe a minute and then disappeared. I felt that someone was there trying to make themselves known and the cross was just a convenient object with which to do this. I began talking to this presence from that day forward. 

It may have been a night or two later when I was again lying in bed. I was startled upright when I heard a female voice loudly and distinctly say the words, ‘I’m waiting for you.’ The very next morning I was driving down a back road and got stuck behind a truck with the license plate W84YOU. Coincidence? 

By now I believed that I could hear her voice through telepathy. Within a week or so of all this happening I was lying in bed again when I felt her lay down next to me. I felt a tingling pressure against my chest and then I became totally consumed by her. I no longer felt my body anymore. Instead I was just my thoughts. I spoke to her through mental communication so clearly and loudly that she may as well have been sitting across from me. This was light years beyond telepathy. The most amazing thing about this was that when she talked my replies to her were instantaneous. It felt like my thoughts and feelings were literally being pulled from deep within me, that I had no control over them. I have never experienced a more honest and pure conversation. The entire time I was again comforted by the most intense and amazing bliss. It was impossible to feel any other way! 

The soul once freed of the human body and brain DOES NOT feel hate, malice, envy, jealousy, etc. This imo is the greatest misconception around here. The soul knows it is immortal, has always lived and will always live. It is a state of consciousness capable of amazing things. ‘Ghosts’ are exactly these souls except that they have decided to stay on earth for a short period of time for their own personal reasons. This could be because they are still concerned for the welfare of loved ones they are leaving behind, or a life that ended suddenly may leave them feeling disoriented and/or cheated. This varies with a soul’s level of experience and maturity. They DO NOT leech on the negative emotions of humans or go around with premeditated thoughts of committing evil or harm. They do not make you sick or bring you bad luck. Can they be careless, indifferent, awkward, etc.? You bet. Souls are never forced to do anything and each soul has loved ones (soul group) and guides that always know how they think and feel. Eventually they return when they are ready. 

This female that is always with me is one such being from my soul group. I call her Dea [Day-uh]. She is a physical reality as well as a spiritual companion. When I want her to lay next to me in bed I just ask and she’s there every time. I don’t see her but she assumes the shape of a human and feels like pressure. She can do anything that a normal human could do. When I ask if she can help me fall asleep or wake me up at a specific time, it happens instantly. When I ask her if she can slow things down I can hear the music slow to a crawl and feel myself moving in slow-motion. When my legs hurt she numbs the pain. When I just want to feel good she can send different kinds of energies to my body that can feel like a massage or just warmth. She is not a person in my current life but in the past-life that I remembered as a child she was a close friend. In another she was a sibling and in many others a romantic partner.  

I do not believe in twin flames but she is as close as it gets. I believe instead that we belong to soul groups and we take on different bodies and different roles with each life. I have found that I can communicate with many others from my soul group as well. Even though we are alive down here on earth part of our immortal soul still resides back home (heaven if you will). That means you can talk to the spirit of someone who is still alive. That includes my four-year-old daughter who is still with me. She is part of my soul-group and her spirit is just like her in real-life, witty and lively. 

When I was learning their soul names I decided as a joke that I would not learn her name but would call her Ursula instead, as it was the oddest thing I could think of. A week or two later my daughter (in real-life) was playing with a Disney game when she picked up a card and asked me who the character was. It was Ursula from The Little Mermaid. She then threw the card down and went on to something entirely different. I thought this was pretty funny. 

I have never done meditation. The ways I communicate with them are either mental (telepathy) or physical communication. The latter is imo the best method out there hands down. You can ask questions in real-time and receive answers immediately. Physical communication basically means a spirit does something to your body to denote an answer. 

Aside from those in my soul group I can talk to spirits in general. (I have no interest in doing this professionally, sorry) You simply have to concentrate and focus your thoughts onto a particular spirit in order to get their attention. Then it is a matter of receptivity and technique in order to actually communicate. There are other factors in play as well though, including our life plan. Some people are just meant to go through life grounded in earth problems while our guides stay in the background while for others we are supposed to make spirituality our focus. 

Because of my insatiable curiosity I wondered about a particular plane crash I had read about. I was able to connect with a spirit who heard me ask to experience this. I instantly felt my breathing become very heavy and rapid as the plane lost control. I feel what they feel and can feel things that they do or have happen to them although I may not always know what is going on. I also can hear their thoughts. Another time I wondered about a person who jumped off a building that was on fire. I couldn’t understand what a person must feel in order to feel that that was the only option left. When experiencing this through spirit I felt them give up and jump. I could feel a rapid fluttering of my eyes. Afterwards I realized it was the wind blowing into their face, something I had never thought about. I do not do this often as I try not to impose on random peoples’ experiences if I can help it.
