Spirits Among Us

I wrote this over a year ago for a friend who could not sleep in his bedroom because a ghost visited him there. After he read this and I sent him a painting of my owls, he was able to move back into his bedroom and the ghost didn't bother him again.

Did I not tell you of this connection we have. It transcends all boundaries. What kind of Native is your friend? It is most peculiar that she does not know about the spirits.

They will not harm you my dear.  He may just be lost and not be able to find his way.  He may not even know he is dead.  If his passing was suddenly, his spirit guide would not have had time to explain it. Some times our guides cannot reach us, especially if we are stubborn and choose not to believe.

Your wife does not feel the spirit. It is that way with some. Try to open your mind to the belief that they will not harm you. Be very wary of anyone who tells you that ghosts are to be feared.

Perhaps her method would have worked, but wouldn't it be much better if we could guide him to the proper plane with out hurting him or scaring him? He is lost and much afraid.

I have a friend who is so in touch with her spiritual self that she can converse with her guides. We all have them, even non-believers. It's just that some of us have been trained not to listen.

It is like the spirit of Christmas. As children we believed. As we grew older our beliefs embarrassed us. We saw our parents putting toys under the tree. We questioned a world where some children suffered and had nothing. It was not the spirit of Christmas that failed. It was the human souls that did not listen.

If we close our eyes and ears to that which we cannot understand we lose precious feelings. We have lost Christmas. The Christians think they still have and some do, but most feel that other than the birth of the Christ child the rest is all commercialism.

 What they don't understand is that the spirit of Christmas is the one, (maybe God, maybe Allah, maybe the Great Spirit) who puts the idea of giving in to all of us. Without that spirit, Christmas is commercial. So Yes, I do believe in Santa and in Ghosts, but not in the Easter bunny or the tooth fairy. 

Now I want you to try an experiment. I want you to read this first and then close your eyes. I wish I could be there to say the words.

Now free your mind of all the pain in your life. Let it go. Imagine the soft clouds in the blue sky. You are floating, softly floating. Now let all the negative thoughts leave your body. Think only positive thoughts. The world is good my friend. You are alive and you are floating.

Now reach out and touch the soft fluffy cloud. You are totally at peace. In this plane you can see the whole world below you. See how tiny we all look? Most of us are walking around with heavy burdens but not you my friend. You are on a cloud walking, now, on those clouds. You step lightly at first until you realize they will hold you.

Do you see the sunshine? See how the beams shine down on the people. The sun is healing them. This is why we greet the sun when he rises in the morning. You need to watch the sunrise again. But first you must learn the life lesson of peace and tranquility.

You look up over your head and see where the light comes from. Your Father the Great Spirit stands in front of his wigwam of birch bark. He tells you to go back to the other plane. You are just here on a visit. It is not your time to be reborn.

You turn back and look for the clouds but they are gone and you are back on earth. You know now that you are safe. No matter what happens to your earthly body the Great Spirit will be waiting for you when your journey is done.

I hope that this journey helps you to sleep better tonight. Just relax and let the Great Spirit carry your burden while you sleep.
