More Q&A About Ghosts and Spirits: Part 2


spirits are also attracted to their ashes
I have received a lot of great questions about ghosts and spirits, and I've provided answers to the questions to the best of my knowledge of the afterlife. 


  • Do you think a spirit can be in more than one physical place at once? (My sister has said that several in her family all felt Mom there, around them, after she died, while I was feeling her here with me at my house

  • ANSWER: Yes.

    Rob Gutro's 1st book

    Science tells us that Energy can move at the speed of light. However, spirit tends to even go beyond that. When people in spirit are energy  it seems that they can send some of their energies to different people at the same time, in multiple locations.  That's why there are energies of people's spirit attached to objects  and whenever those objects come near other energies they "power up " the full spirit.   Often, though, you'll hear stories of people who are passing away and they manage to give people signs that their passing is occurring- no matter where the living person or persons are located.


  • Since my mom didn't believe in the afterlife, could she really have strong enough energy to actually reach me?
  • ANSWER: Yes. If your mom had a strong personality, she can come through. In fact, believing in the afterlife has nothing to to with becoming part of it. Religions teach us that we will go to heaven or hell  - the latter if we don't believe. That's incorrect. Hell is being trapped as an Earth bound ghost and being unable to communicate with others in spirit or in the living world. Heaven is joining the energies that run through the universe. If your mom is strong enough, she'll find a way to communicate with you. In fact, I'm sure she's already given you some signs.




  • Are spirits' energies stronger for a while after the person first dies? For how long?
  • ANSWER: The energy levels after someone dies isn't stronger than later on. What strengthens spirit are physical and emotional energies. Living people naturally feel a lot of grief, sorry, hurt when someone passes, and it's all of of love. Love is a positive energy that gives spirits the ability to get strong and relay messages (but our grief blocks those messages). So, whenever someone is thinking of someone who passed, they're providing them energy.

    Spirits Can be Funny!



       As a developing medium, I tend to get messages when I get them - so I call myself a "medium rare": As in, not well done yet. When we pass, we maintain our personalities. I've come to understand that when our physical bodies die, the physical energy within it combines with our personality, memories and soul. It's through their personality that spirits will identify themselves. So, sometimes the funny personalities of the spirits come through.  That was the case when I was driving to an event with my husband.
        He and I were both in my pick-up truck and suddenly I smelled flatulence. He looked at me, as he smelled it, too. At the same time, we asked each other who had let out some gas. We both denied doing so, and that's when I "heard" a 60ish year old, overweight man who identified himself as "Larry." Larry said that he used to like walking around his house in his tee-shirt and boxer shorts and let out gas, just to be funny. He loved to laugh, and would always try to make his wife and grandchildren laugh.
       
    So, spirits maintain the same sense of humor that they had here on Earth in their physical forms, and share that with us so we can identify who is "calling!"

A sickness that makes you question your very presence on the earth and makes you wonder if letting go, if not holding on, if that’s the better choice...

    OH YEAH… and me: Rob Gutro:  "Ghosts and Spirits: Insights from a Medium" and "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead
    I'm a member of Inspired Ghost Tracking who use scientific equipment to find proof of
    ghosts or spirits. Since I was a child I could receive messages from ghosts or spirits (who have crossed over). I wrote "Ghosts and Spirits" and "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" to teach others how Ghosts and Spirits communicate and to give hope about the afterlife. I also provide some scientific explanations about how they do it. I'm not a medium who makes appointments - I'm not as well-developed in my abilities as learned mediums. I'm more of a "medium rare." I just hope you find comfort in these explanations based on my experiences.
    Our loved ones are missed most around the holidays, and one way to take comfort is to understand that they're still around. - My books have provided a comfort by explaining how spirits make themselves known.
    BOTH BOOKS AVAILABLE ON AMAZON:

    SCOTT LOPE'S  story in WOLVERINE (comics)
    Recently, our friend Scott Lope had the amazing opportunity to co-write a comic book about Marvel's Wolverine character from the X-men series.  The story appears in December's "Savage Wolverine #12" on sale now AND NEXT MONTH'S "Savage Wolverine #13"   The Wolverine story addresses the serious issue of Rhino poaching in Africa and how countless Rhinos are slaughtered for their horns. This is one of the issues that Scott personally tries to stop through his organization.  The story is gripping and well-written and the artwork is fantastic.
        Scott is the founder of the Non-Profit Organization called Animal Warriors. Animal Warriors is a group of like minded individuals from all walks of life who share a common goal of helping animals with active volunteer groups in both Florida and North Carolina.

    RANDY KELLER -Voices From Forever
    Voices From Forever chronicles my journey through the paranormal by way of Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP). What started out as an experiment, proved to be the most eye-opening and profound experience of my life. There is no longer any doubt that beyond this existence is a greater continuation; an equally dynamic and vital place where the passion of human emotion and the animism of the universe converge to reveal a glimpse of what is to come. My attempts to make contact through EVP taught me just how thin the veil is between what we know as living, and the afterlife that claims us all. Death is not the end of being alive, but the beginning of our next step – one that we must all take. Check it out!: http://tinyurl.com/mvkeula

    Q&A About Ghosts and Spirits: Part 1


    Here are three questions I received from facebook  and my responses!


  • If you are mad at a person, can you "will" their spirit to stay away from you?
  • If you're mad at someone that passed, they would try  to honor your wishes to stay away, BUT, what they
    all need on the other side is forgiveness to move on, so it may be difficult to stay away.
    My aunt basically "haunted" me for the 25 years it took for me to convince my mother to forgive her. 25 years after someone dies is a long time to hold a grudge, and it's emotionally draining to us on Earth to hold onto it... so, it's better to forgive.





  • Or if they were a jerk in life, but still had some kind of love for you, is it the same when they die?
  • Yes. Once they get on the other side, they realize their actions were bad in life. Usually they want to be forgiven
    for it, too. They'll always have love for you. When we die we maintain our memories and our personalities. So, someone
    who was a jerk in life will likely be somewhat of a jerk in death. The ghosts that try and harm people/scare people were jerks in life.


    • If they never understood how much you loved them, in life, do they "get it" after they die? I mean, if they doubted you and they were wrong about it, do they find that out after they are gone?

    Yes. Spirits gain a lot of knowledge on the other side. Our thoughts are energy, and they are energy, so they can soak up everything we think and feel. They learn truths on the other side.

    Bring Your Loved One's Spirit Home: A Special Holiday Tree for our (Late) Dog Sprite!

    Our fav photo of Sprite
    Because our 16 1/2 year old dachshund passed away this past summer we wanted to do something special to remember him this holiday season. 
       Sprite was a funny little guy, who liked to keep to himself and didn't play with toys (he came to us from the rescue just before he turned 14 and wound up have several surgeries and 22 rotted teeth removed). Sprite loved Dolly and Franklin (and was learning to deal with Tyler the terror). He loved his grandma and grandpa (Tom's parents) and stayed there on some weekends.
    Sprite's memorial tree

     So, this weekend, we bought a small counter-top-Sprite-Sized tree and decorations. My partner surprised me when he topped the tree with a butterfly. Why? Because after Sprite passed we saw yellow and black butterflies following us and our other dogs around. Even friends who read about Sprite's story were followed around or visited by yellow and black butterflies - so that's his sign.

      Every day I look at Sprite's tree this season I know he's around us. Consider doing something like this to honor someone you lost this year.
