Spiritual Communication -Opening The Door To The Unknown
“The desire of all who aspire to be mediums is, naturally, to be able to converse with the spirits of persons who are dear to them; but they must moderate their impatience, for communication with a special spirit frequently offers material difficulties that render it impossible for the beginner. It may be, then, that the one with whom communication is desired may not be in propitious condition to make it …may also be that he has neither the possibility nor permission to come…it is best …not to persist in asking for one spirit to the exclusion of all others”-The Book on Mediums by Allan Kardec
Recently, a woman said to me, “I pray and pray, and still I can’t communicate with spirit.” I deemed her statement to be intriguing and worthy of an explanation. Why is it that some people are able to communicate with spirits, while others do not? Are there specific requirements that one must adhere to? Or, is it a selection process conducted by spirits? Perhaps the answer is in Allan Kardec's statement that some people are impatient and persistent. Although the answer can be endless, I will attempt to explain the following questions from my viewpoint and/or experience. After having a lengthy conversation with the above-mentioned woman, I uncovered the truth behind the problem. Instead of allowing the process to happen naturally, she was imposing her own set of rules. Her conditions ranged from how to when. She wanted to see, not feel or hear them; she wanted to see specific family members only- the rest of the spirit population was excluded; and she wanted to control the times and places where the manifestations would take place. After hearing all her demands, I can imagine spirits saying, “Oh my God, the woman is a control freak….I‘m out of here.” Never to be seen, heard or felt. Spiritual communication requires that we believe fully in the existence of spirit. It is important to welcome them into our lives. Although prayer is a great tool to use, and a vital part of the communication process, it lacks effectiveness and becomes meaningless if done without faith. The prayer becomes empty words without any substance. The power of a prayer is in the feeling that is released or sent out. Prayer should not be a list of demands or a bargaining tool. In addition to accepting the existence of spirits, we need to fine-tune our spiritual senses. Since spirits operate on a dissimilar frequency than ours, it is important to fine tune our spiritual senses in order to link with them. When you think of spiritual communication, think of a radio. Imagine yourself turning the radio on, and trying to get to your favorite station. Before reaching your desire station, you find yourself between two stations. Unclear noise begins to come through. You continue to turn the knob until the correct frequency or desire station is reached. The same process holds when you try to communicate with spirits. The two stations represent our world and spirit world. In the process of reaching out to the spirit world, the correct frequency is extremely vital. If the correct frequency is not reached, a lot of incoherent noise or nil is received. One way of achieving or reaching the correct frequency is through meditation. Meditation helps in calming the mind as well as the body. It is an important aspect because as adults we are inundated with so many mundane issues. Therefore, it is imperative to free our minds of such issues, in order to clear the way for spirit communication. In a way, we need to connect to our inner child and become a child again. Children are innocent creatures who are free of mundane issues, and do not discriminate between the tangible and intangible. They freely accept without being analytical. They can receive spirit communication effortlessly. Jesus said, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don‘t hinder them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Most certainly, I tell you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.” Anyone can achieve spiritual communication. We just need to be humble and sincere.
Note: The spiritual painting represents communication between the seen and unseen. On the side of spirits, there are hidden faces. These faces were not done intentionally. They just happened to surface. Can you see them? To me, the painting is a reminder that spirits are always around us. As for the woman who said, "I pray and pray, and still I can’t communicate with spirit,” she needs to open up her heart and let them in without conditions.
