I once had a psychic tell me that I should talk to my father more frequently. She said he missed our conversations and longed for that interaction. At the time, my father had been dead for decades. He was killed in a car accident when I was in my early thirties and I hadn’t mentioned this fact to the psychic, so it got me wondering. Either she was a little bat-shit crazy and making stuff up, or there was a glimmer of truth to what she wa saying. My father was kind of a nudgy, Jewish father and I can still hear him saying on the answering machine in my mind, ‘Call me back. I want an update. You know how I always like to know what’s going on…’
When someone close to you passes away, it doesn’t necessarily meant that everything about them has died. I believe that everyone’s essential energy remains in some realm of existence, just beyond in a layer of energy that we can’t see or touch, but exists on the other side of our incarnated veil. If that’s true, then the communication can work both ways. So why not ‘haunt’ our ghosts and keep them updated, maybe even ask for their advice or help. I have a feeling that out of respect or due to some law on the ‘other side’ that I don’t quite understand, they need to be invited to participate. They can’t just meddle in our lives, even if they’re a (deceased) Jewish father like.
So haunt your ghosts! Reach up outside your comfort zone and talk to them and be sure to thank them for all that they’ve done (and might still be doing) in your life. If they’re anything like my father, they’re eager for the update and the chance to be in communication with you.
