Paranormal Q&A ; Do Spirits Have a Concept of Time? Ghosts?

Earlier this week I received a great question from Chris about spirits experiencing time. Here is his question and my experience:

Q: Since spirts appear to experience time in a linear manner like humans, have you ever asked Ed (the subject of your Kindred Spirits book)  how he spends his time?   I seem to remember in the movie Beetlejuice the time in the afterlife was something like the DMV waiting area. I would like to think it’s got to be better than that. If trying to reach a higher plane of existence I can see there might be a holding area or once someone has reached the higher plane, they would have time free I guess.  Has this topic ever come up when talking with other mediums?

A: I haven't asked Ed what it's like on the other side, because there is no concept of time for those in spirit... They do watch us age and move on and wait for us to join them, so looking outside their realm to Earth they see time pass. From where they are, there isn't any concept of time.   

    That said, It seems as if spirits (those who crossed) are freely moving about the universe and are drawn back here to us on special dates and times - based on how they read OUR energy.   So, I don't see a "holding area," - I see it more as a "free space" where they get to associate with everyone in spirit .

     Meanwhile, earth-bound ghosts don't seem to understand how time has progressed, and keep doing things as they did when they were alive. Take walking through a former doorway, now walled up. They can't get past the things of their time.
