Blog #23 Do ghosts believe in God?
Whew, this is a hard one, but a question I get from time to time. I will try to answer this as simply as possible. The answer is….. “That depends”.
I view ghosts as people who don’t have any bodies anymore. Since all people are different, the same is true about ghosts. Those spirits that are High Level Spirits (those who cross over and come back) tell us there is a god and all will be learned upon crossing to the other side. Low Level Spirits (never crossed over) have the same view point as a live people do.
When we are on this earthly plane, religion plays an important role in some of our lives. There are highly religious people, and then there are some who don’t worship but believe in a god, and even some that don’t believe in a higher power at all. Our religious believes are deep rooted into our consciousness. It keeps us on the path that we choose to be on. Some may choose different paths along the way and might stray from the original beliefs that we were brought up with.
Ghosts (low level) are the same as humans. Many get caught up in their beliefs of god, heaven and hell. Some stay and don’t cross over because they think they can be judged by the actions they may have done here in this earthy plane. Murder, suicide, or just plain evil, may cause a spirit not to cross over. Fear is the reason for decision.
I believe in a forgiving god, so I will cross over with no fear of whatever may have on this plane. I also know that I haven’t done anything that bad that I would want to stay here for. Even though I was raised Catholic, which is a strict order of religion, my life path has taught me as humans we forgive those who might have hurt us and that god will do the same. This is only an opinion and don’t wish to go into any deep philosophy about religious moralities of what is right or wrong.
Sometimes we have to convince a spirit to cross over that might be reluctant due to their actions here on earth. This is a very hard thing to do, since they might have strong opinions about what might happen to them if they do. We explain there is comfort in the light and there is nothing to fear. All of our loved ones that crossed before us are there waiting for us with open arms and hearts.
Remember this scene from poltergeistl
So, when your turn comes, go into the light, there is nothing but heartache and pain here. There is love, joy and the best yet, the answers to everything you may ever want to know.
