Lingering

(Let me begin by saying Sorry, this is rather lengthy….my apologies)

Over the past few days we’ve taken a closer look at Ghosts, Spirits, Specters, Apparitions, the Afterlife, Communication and the notion of The Essence and where it goes.

Charles Dickens had an interesting notion. As Jacob Marley so eloquently put it: “It is required of every man that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellow men and travel far and wide and If that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death! It is doomed to wander through the world! Oh, woe is me! And witness what it cannot share but MIGHT HAVE SHARED on Earth and turned to happiness!” Possible…yes. Continue reading →

Where does the Essence go once it departs our physical body? Does it consciously decide whether to go towards the Light or remain in the earthly plane? Are we in control of what happens to our Essence or does energy return to Energy, from which it sprung? Continue reading →

Communication

.

Communication.  What is it exactly?  How does communication happen and in what ways do we understand each other.   Oxford tells us it is:  The imparting or exchanging of information or news; a letter or message containing information; and/or the successful conveying or sharing of ideas and feelings.  So, according to this, communication depends upon two or more parties being involved; accepting a transference of information, ideas or emotions; and the success of that conveyance.

Before continuing on, I should like to say that I am delighted you are as interested as I am about this subject and are willing to share this journey with me and others, who, like you, are also curious. As we travel along, I will ask many questions; any and all of which you are free to comment on (and I hope you will) or even take that particular question and write your own post or poem with your thoughts and ideas about it.  If you do, I would love if you might link back to the original post so we are all able to stay connected, but I feel this is a wonderful way to expand the conversation.  I am looking forward to our discussions and hope you will continue to find Those We Do Not Speak Of compelling.

Now, let’s take a moment to talk about What is The Essence…. Continue reading →

Seems the best time of the year for A Review of my Brief Series…

Let me begin by saying:  this post kicks off a new series.  One which I have felt led to explore and one which will ask for YOUR input.  I have spoken with many of you over the past few years and have discovered a common ground among us.  A subject about which we all have questions, so I would like to open a conversation, but a conversation cannot take place with only one involved.  If you find yourself curious about the unknown; if you have had experiences that made you “say hmmmmm”; if you find yourself asking questions to which there are no “rational” answers, then this series may be of interest to you.  And although this initial post may be longer than most, I’d like to begin by setting a foundation.

Those We Do Not Speak Of – Communication

Communication

.

Communication.  What is it exactly?  How does communication happen and in what ways do we understand each other.   Oxford tells us it is:  The imparting or exchanging of information or news; a letter or message containing information; and/or the successful conveying or sharing of ideas and feelings.  So, according to this, communication depends upon two or more parties being involved; accepting a transference of information, ideas or emotions; and the success of that conveyance.

Language is an extraordinary thing.  The differences in our languages are seemingly boundless and with all the intricacies, dialects, regional connotations and interpretations, not to mention slang and hyper-text abbreviations, it is a miracle we understand each other at all.  Is this, perhaps, one of the reasons why Those We Do Not Speak Of often choose to Communicate on a non-verbal level?  If a connection is desired or required, what other methods might a person, or the Essence, utilize?  Our senses are often easily beguiled and fear of what we do not understand invariably taints our perception; so how might one who has traversed the Great Divide reach out to us successfully?

*** Before continuing on, I believe it is important to say that there are “good” and “bad” forms of the Essence; positives and negatives, as it were.  You may find yourself questioning this statement, but when we consider that in nature “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction”, you may pause to reexamine it.  It is also, perhaps, important to consider that there are “good” and “not so good” people all around us, so why should we be confounded by the notion that there are also spirits with less than charitable or harmonious motives and purposes?   I shall delve deeper into this subject next time, but when talking about any form of Communication, I think it is imperative to understand that caution is always advised. ***

Most often people seem to experience an impression, an awareness, of something inexplicable being present; whether or not they choose to accept or heed this perception as fact.  The feeling of hairs standing up on the back of your neck or a sensation similar to static electricity is commonly reported; so regularly, in fact, that one might wonder if this is our body’s way of telling us something we have learned or chosen to ignore or discount?  Is our own Essence aware of the presence of another, regardless of whether that presence is corporeal or not, and does our Essence/ can our Essence translate this awareness on a level we are able to comprehend?

There are many ways our physical bodies interpret the signs of a Spirit’s presence.  Light anomalies.  Sounds in an empty room.  Shifting shadows in the darkness.  Doors slamming.  Lights going on and off mysteriously.  Whispers emanating from of the silence.  The ways in which Those We Do Not Speak Of choose to Communicate are as varied as the names by which we call them and, if truth be told, we have all, at one time or another, experienced something we could not easily explain or dismiss.

If, then, the ways in which the Essence now abiding on the other side chooses to alert us to their presence are recognizable by so many, perhaps the question to be asked is Why do they reach out to us?  Though the intent and purpose of those dwelling in shadows may be equally dark and steeped with the desire to instill fear or do harm; Why should those who love us choose to send shivers or impart dread by reaching through the void?  Equally curious is why any Spirit now dwelling in a place of Perfection should choose to return to this imperfect realm?  Do they simply long to see once more those places they once inhabited and loved, where special memories were created and, perhaps, where loved ones still abide?  Do they really have a need to tell us anything, or is it a simple reassurance that they are still close to us, if only in spirit; a reminder of the perpetuity of Love?

What if that returning consciousness is not a kindred spirit, one of family or of friendship?  Does it reach out to us simply because it longs to be remembered or validated?  When our limited perceptions perceive something seemingly imperceptible, does our own Essence respond in some manner, whether or not we may be aware of it; offering communication and communion on a sub-conscious level, which may be enough for the Perfected Energy interacting with it?  Does this communication allow it to leave this plane, confident that it will not be forgotten or are there darker purposes to the interaction?

If the spirit that crosses over does not have any religious or spiritual context on which to draw, how might it perceive in the spirit what it found to be inscrutable in the flesh?  Does that Essence really need to impart a message to us, or is it simply in need of understanding its own continuation?  Do Spirits really get “trapped” on this side of that proverbial tunnel of light, or are dark entities, intent upon doing harm and causing chaos, in residence in certain places here on this plane; lurking in shadows, waiting….

 

This is question we shall consider next time….

Winery Visit

We spent a happy hour or two at the Cape May Winery and, of course, I spent more time taking pictures than partaking of the house reserve wines (though I did enjoy a small glass of their White Port!) I did not notice this friend sharing our visit until I came home and put my photos onto my computer. Interestingly, my family history records that my Great-Great Grandfather Morgan had a small cabin in the same area near the Cape May Winery. As I was inside an immaculately clean room where there was little sunlight beaming in through the one window on the second floor and the one door leading to a covered patio behind me in this shot, my curiosity about this unanticipated visitor has certainly been sparked.

Rather hard for me to think this is anything other than what it looks like…a bright, brazen orb saying hello!

What do you think?
