on seeing dead people
Question: do you remember that movie, The Sixth Sense? And, more pointedly, the scene in the movie were little Cole whispers, “I see dead people…” I was going to share that clip from the movie, but it’s a little bit spooky and I didn’t want to spook you because this post is not supposed to spook you. It’s supposed to shed a little light on what it really means to see dead people, none of which is spooky. At least, not to me at this moment.
I am qualified to write this because I see dead people, too. The only difference is that I know I am not seeing dead people. I know that I am seeing spirits. There is such a big difference.
You see, we are all spirits masquerading as humans. When we die, we lose the costume and go back to being our spirit self until we decide it’s time to drop down as a human again. When I see dead people, I am seeing the gross matter costume that was worn during a particular lifetime so that I can understand what spirit I am interacting with. I see bits and pieces of their human personality, characteristics, and behaviors. Sometimes I see their faces, but not always. The details I see are used to help me bridge the gap for myself or others who have loved and lost someone here on earth so that we know what spirit is in the room. On the flip side, sometimes I interact with spirits that have no characteristics to share with me other than their energetic frequency, that being high, low, or somewhere in between. Since this is a post on seeing dead people, I’m going to stay on point. We can talk about the other spirits another time.
I am choosing my words carefully here because it’s important to understand the difference between humans, spirits and what death really means.
Humans = spirits
All humans are spirits incarnate.
Spirit ≠ humans
There are way more spirits than humans in the universe. That’s because humans have a terminal condition called death which forces them to morph back into spirit, that’s their essence. Einstein pointed this out when he said:
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
It can only be changed from one form to another.
Death ⪇ life
Death is the transformation from physical (gross/heavy) life back into subtle (light) life. Think life force energy. Death happens when the physical life mission is complete, this means when the lesson that the spirit dropped down to learn on earth is complete. It’s like graduation, only less stress because a spirit doesn’t need to find a job, it completes one.
So, back to the point of all of this, I never really see dead people, I see spirits. Spirits are far less complicated than humans.
For starters, spirits are love. I don’t mean this in the sense of flippy, drippy love. I mean they are a force of higher goodness. They lack the emotions that complicate human lives. They embody a state of wholeness, something humans typically lack. And they defy space and time.
Why does this matter? Because there’s a lot more to life than our teeny tiny brain can embrace. Because sometimes when we lose someone we can try to hang on to their physical state so hard that we miss all the ways they come back and touch our lives, assist our journey, and, ultimately, help us heal from our loss so that we can feel whole again.
Earth school is hard enough without trying to go through it pretending that there isn’t a bright shiny soul under our costumes, one that’s plugged in and connected to a force so much greater than this place. And the clincher? We’re all mediums. We’re all capable of seeing spirit. We’re all capable of staying open to the ways that we can move through this world and beyond it.
How can you start? Start by trying to see the spirit within the humans around you. Start by trying to remember the spirit of the person you lost. Start by staying open to change and willing, just a tiny bit willing, to embrace it. When you release your grip on a physical being who has already transformed back into a spirit you call forth a new way of communicating spirit-to-spirit, which is your natural state of being in this universe.
It’s all love.
