How do you know if you see a ghost?

The idea of ghosts raises lots of human eyebrows.  People will often fervently believe in such things or, be convinced they do not exist.  Each person has a reason for their belief systems.  Not everyone is prepared to explore reasons for their beliefs.

Let's say not believing is grounded in fear and doubt about uncertainty.  Human beings will even deny what they supposedly perceive with their own senses.  This happens because those people are not ready to believe, or to open up to unexplained experiences.

If you believe in the supernatural, it is possible you have had some unexplained experience and this is how you understand it.  You may feel love and positive energy.  Your inner knowing may also help you connect to energy vibrations that other people do not choose to have.  What you believe, you consciously accept and embrace as truth.

I have a friend who shared a story about his visit to Bhutan.  This is a very spiritual country I look forward to visiting.  In any case, he rented a four wheel drive and took a guide with him into a remote area.  My friend got out of the vehicle to gaze at the breath-taking scenery and to meditate amidst nature.

Suddenly, as if from nowhere, an older woman appeared in native dress. She spoke in a dialect my friend's guide did not understand.  Now, the two men were many miles away from any village.  They were amidst steep mountains and rugged terrain.  Nonethless, the peaceful woman smiled continuously, bowed her head with a prayer gesture and seemed to walk by them.  When they turned, she was gone.  They sensed she was spirit energy.

Hi Liara. I can't help but believe in spirits or ghosts. I've had some interesting experiences, but nothing like what your friend experienced. I love hearing these kinds of stories.

Davina, readers of this blog would appreciate hearing some of your particular experiences. If you evolve to attune to spirit energies more consistently, then you no longer necessarily make distinctions like 'alive or dead' or, even use the word 'ghost.' These are human terms which may seem inadequate or inappropriate to describe what you experience. All vibrations are fantastic teachers.

Hello. A friend of mine has had some paranormal experiences involving cats.... Have you ever heard of anything similar?

[Liara Covert]

Victoria, I am familiar with a diverse scope of experiences that some people would describe as "paranormal." Animals have spirit energies similar to those of human beings. When animals seem to die, their energy passes over to another dimension where it assumes another form. If your friend had a cat or was friendly with a cat that passed over, it is possible to sense the presence of that feline even when your friend remains in the physical world. Spirit communicate in different ways. As a person raises self-awareness and deepens consciousness, it becomes possible to sense energies that were not noticed in the same way before. If you provide more details, then I would be glad to offer a more specific answer to your query.
