Hi all,

My name is Werner (I'm from Belgium) and I hear, see and feel 'things' other people don't. (=spirits ofcourse)
As a child a have been told I had a too big imagination and that I should not be talking about these things. So I didn't.
But the last couple of years I became very unhappy (because I wasn't 'aloud' to talk about it) and the activity around me was increasing.
Until I finally had enough of it.
I had to talk about it, so I started to write a spiritual novel.
Since then my life has changed for the better and now I feel free to talk about it, even though I get a lot of negative reactions from people too. I don't care about those reactions anymore because I understand that they are not the same as me and they do not experience what I do. So I try to forgive them for their negativity and try to give them my love instead.

Let me know if you have any questions (e.g. about ghosts) for me. I will try to answer them as good as I can.
I have had spirits jumping on my bed or growl at me like they were dogs, so I'm the last person to say or think you are 'crazy'.

If you are interested in reading my novel, it is available through Amazon.

It contains a lot of information about the spirit world or how to deal with spirits, but it is molded into the form of a novel to make it more interesting to read. (I hope you don't mind me giving the link, otherwise I will remove it immediately.)

With love, Werner.

No problem, I understand!

[kmagnee]

Just curious, can you pick up anyone you want or is it simply whomever comes through? I'm very curious about your gift, part of me think about what a gift it is but also I see the curse it can be. There are a few I wish I could get 1 more conversation out of. Mainly my brother-in-law, but I would love to hear from Gramma or Nana also.

[WernerV]

Hi kmagnee,

In my case most of the time it is simply whomever comes through. If I am with a certain person, it is possible that a loved one passes by to say hello. But that doesn't happen all the time either. Their seem to be a whole lot of conditions to it that I myself don't even understand.

I no longer see my gift as a curse even though there is a lot of negativity attached to it. I am happy with who I am and what I see, hear and feel.

A lot of people would like to see or hear from a deceased person one last time. Remember that to a lot of people (=spirits) it is their curse now that they can still see us but we can't see them. They can see clearly now what their actions have created but can barely change anything about it. That's why it is so important for us humans to try and live the best and most loving life we possibly can. So that when we cross over we can move on with our spiritlifes without having the feeling to set right (on earth) what we have done wrong.

You can always make contact with the ones (=spirits) you love. Tell them how much you miss or love them. Or just even have small conversations with them. You will probably not hear them, but they will hear you. And if there is something they really want to let you know, they will try to do their best to make 'something' happen to let you know they have heard you.
But the best thing you can do is ask the source of all things created, the great soul, to help you with what you want to achieve. And if what you ask is out of love and for a loving purpose, it will help you to achieve your goals.

With my love, Werner.

I've got to admit, I have never looked at it from that perspective.

Interesting.

You're welcome Safire!
And thank you for taking an interest in what I write.

[Knowntheghost]

My brother sees them, but cant hear them... I feel them, but can't see them... My broter learned how to just turn it off tho... H tries to forget how he use to see people... He blocks it out... I can't turn mine off... I'll always feel them... I can also feel what live people feel, but only if it's a strong emotion... It's such a nice feeling to finally converse with people like us!! Can u turn yours off and on as you chose? Cuz I remember as a child, my brother would go a week without sleeping cuz he gave a spirit attention and it latched onto him... It hurt him when he stopped giving it attention...

[michaela7191]

This is really interesting! Do you have any interesting stories that you could share?

Werner, thank you for taking the time to post and to explain.

The two paragraphs of yours I quoted above give a great insight into how the spirits of our loved ones try to interact with us and how we may interact with them.  I am struck by the relative powerlessness of spirits to influence the physical world and to communicate with us.

If you can please elaborate on a few topics based on your experiences.  Do our deceased family members and friends accompany us through our daily lives?  What do they look like to you?  Do they come over and communicate with you since they can sense your awareness?  Are they surprised you can see them?  Are spirits self aware of their circumstances and capable of conversations with you?

Many Thanks, Strider

[WernerV]

Hi KnowtheGhost,

I cannot turn my gifts on or off as you say. But I am the one in control ofcourse.
What I mean by that is that I can ignore them when they occur, although most of the time I don't do that.
But I also 'make time' for them to come over. Most of the time I set dates and hours for them. Just like a doctor's office.
I have a life you know. And because I don't want to be bothered all the time, I set specific dates and hours to help them.
I have to admit, if I for example forget to do this for a longer period of time (let say I forget about them for more then a week) they will let me know, for sure!!!
The activity and energy will start to build up and that's my cue to set a date as soon as possible so the people that are waiting for help can be helped.

And yes, spirits can indeed latch on to people. That is not a good thing. They consume your energy and you will start feeling weary and empty after a while. You kind of have to be their therapist. Listen to them, give them advice (if they want it) about how they can move on and let them go.

I hope I have answered your question and will try to answer the other people's questions as soon as I can!

Love, Werner.

[WernerV]

Hi Michaela7197, thank you for taking an interest in what I write.
I have a lot of interesting stories. Too many to tell. But if you're interested you can always try finding my book on Amazon.
Can't post the link. Forum policies.

Hi Strider,

Yes our loved ones accompany us through our daily lives.
Are they allways with us? No, ofcourse not.
They most of the time come visit us if they have the feeling we really need them at that time and if they have the time to do so at that moment. (Most of the time they will do everything in their power to make sure they get to us.) Or if they just want to see us or have the need to come and visit us themselves.

It is very difficult to describe how they look like to me because there is nothing I can compare it with. Plus they do not all look alike.
What I mean with that is some spirits try to materialise themselves and they will look different from those who just appear through the third eye.

The fact that they can sense my awareness does indeed contribute to the fact that I probably have a lot more spirit visits then other people. But it doesn't mean that they don't visit people that do not have the same awareness as I have.

If the spirits notice you can see, hear or feel them, they get excited most of the time, just as some people get excited when they meet somebody who can see, hear or feel spirits.

Not all spirits are self aware of their circumstances. Some don't realise they are dead. A lot, actually. Too many people don't believe in life after death and because of that don't realise per direct that they have deceased. To them it feels as if they are still alive, because the spirit world feels as real as the physical world. But wether they are aware or not, they can communicate with me. And most of the time I can help them with their awareness and lead them to spirits that are able to help them.

Regards, Werner.

[platinumblue]

Hmm....

I would love to sit down with you and pick your brain about a few things (actually a ton).  I have a few questions though and would like to hear your views on this.  You might have asked some spirits similar questions and already know the answers.  Where to begin....?

WernerV, on 02 March 2013 - 02:11 PM, said:

How do they materialise?  Much like what we call ectoplasm/mist/apparition/orbs/light?  Why can only some spirits move things etc and not all?  Why don't they look alike?  Is it difficult to materialise in "our realm" ?

WernerV, on 02 March 2013 - 02:11 PM, said:

Where do they visit us from;  is it purgatory/limbo/earth/some othe realm?  What time constraints do they have?

If they don't realise they are dead, and the spirit world feels as real as the physical world,  what do they make of the fact that suddenly none of their loved ones respond when they talk to them (can't hear them), and that they can not pick up groceries or drive a car anymore?  What about walking through walls...?


In this spirit realm... can they only come into contact with other spirits or can they come into contact with demons/angels?

Can they recall all of their memories?  What type of sensory perception is available to them?

Have to throw this one in here (skeptic)... is a Ouija board a method to communicate with spirits?

Sorry for asking so many questions.  Would like to know a few more but...think this will do for now  
Will search for your book in the meantime.

Hi PlatinumBlue,

Seems you indeed have a lot of questions.

Some try to materialise their bodies. Others just some parts of their bodies; their head, hands,...! And if they fail in doing that, you can indeed sometimes just see ectoplasm that will appear as a 'cloud' of mist.
The reason why only some spirits can move things or materialise themselves is because of their state and wants/needs. The longer a spirit remains in a state of unawareness or wanders this earth without knowing what to do next, the better they get in materialsing. (Moving things is also of form of materialisation.) Most of the time because they get borred (because they do not know what the next step is) and tryout all kinds of things to keep themselves busy. Those who are unaware of their true state 'believe' they are still of the material and that is why they also can materialise much easier.

They visit us from their spirit realm. (Except if they still think they live on earth ofcourse.)
People who are spiritualy evolved don't have anytime restraints. People who are not 'spiritualy' evolved only show up when darkness falls. This has to do with the condition their souls are in.

Most of the time they find them (=their loved ones) rude or think they are neglecting them or they're angry with them.
In their state of conscienceness they can still pick up groceries, drive cars, etc.! To them if they think they are driving their cars, it feels and looks to them as if they are really doing that. That's why some people say: 'If you believe it's true, it will become true.' That saying is based on what reallity is like in the spirit world.
Those who are not aware they're dead, mostly don't walk through walls.
If you see a ghost walk through a wall, they probably know they are dead.
If they are unaware they are dead it could be they imagined (in their reality) that there was a door they just passed through, that is also a possibility.

I'm gonna leave at this now. Have some other stuff to do also.

I hope I gave you some answers to your questions.

Take care, Werner.

[Knowntheghost]

Maybe that's all my brother does is ignore them. The one time he actually TALKED about it (and it wasn't much!) he hinted and I drew the conclusion that it was like a mental switch. Like a light... I have one question, for now, can spirits materialize as a different shape? Once, when I was very small, my brother and I slept in a bunk bed in the same room. Once he (my brother) was crying and begging me to turn on the light, I was about 3, so I was stubborn. I flat out refused. He then said he saw a tree headed dog on the floor, tht it was large, it's heads brushed THROUGH the ceiling and it was staring at us. The only 3 headed dog I know of is Cerberus, the dog that guards the gate of hell. He scared me so bad, and the room was so cold, (in Louisiana, we had on an ac, but it doesn't get THAT cold!!) I remember to this day his crying and shouting even after te light was on. My mother came in took him out, and I followed. We slept on the coach and all, but was it the real deal or a joker spirit??

[WernerV]

Hi Knowntheghost,

Things like that are never 'the real deal'. It are indeed spirits that enjoy scaring people. They can manifest apparitions like that. They kinda project what they are thinking of.
Like I said in my introduction, I've had spirits manifest themselves as growling wolves standing on my back when I was lying in my bed.
So, don't be fooled, the spirit of a human can do a lot of things. And yes manifesting as a mythological beast is one of them.

Love, Werner.

[WernerV]

Since it seems the questioning has ceased, I'll give you an excerpt of my book that tries to explain what I see or how I can see it and some extra information.



‘Pépé told me you are a psychic. Is that correct?’
She smiled. ‘It is.’
‘Maybe this is a dumb question,’ I asked a bit embarrassed. ‘But what exactly does that mean?’
‘That I can perceive things which other people cannot perceive,’ she answered rather vaguely.
‘So, what are the kinds of things you can perceive?’ I asked. ‘I’m having a hard time understanding this. After all, anybody can claim to see things others can’t see.’
‘That’s right,’ she said calmly. ‘Which is why it is hard for genuine mediums to establish themselves. Many people who claim to see or know things, don’t know or see anything at all. And it’s partly because of people like that, that few people still believe in life after death. On the other hand, people themselves are to blame just as much. The only reason they’re going to see a psychic is to know how their relationship is doing, or when they will enter a relationship, or whether they’ll become rich.’
I couldn’t disagree with her.
‘It’s not because some people take advantage that way, that all psychics want to take advantage,’ I admitted.
‘But what exactly do you perceive?’
‘Well, in my case, it’s people and images.’
‘So how does that work?’ I asked with growing curiosity.
‘It’s hard to explain, but let me try my best to do so... To me, it’s as if a slide or a movie is projected in front of me. Sometimes the images are faint, and sometimes they’re crystal clear. It’s as if whatever is being projected appears on a thick curtain of white smoke. The quality of the imagery varies, depending on the thickness of the smoke, if I can put it that way.’
‘So what makes it that hard to explain?’
‘Look,’ Paula said as she positioned herself on the corner of the desk. ‘If I was to ask you to describe your holidays in Spain, you could give me an impression of what you saw or experienced. But the only thing I can do is imagine what you’re saying. I can try and breathe life into what you’re describing by using imagery that I am familiar with. But that doesn’t mean that what I imagine actually corresponds to what you’ve seen or experienced in real life, as I only have my own experiences to rely on. If I ever were to go there, and get to see the actual place, it could look completely different from what I had imagined. The reason for that is that I had never actually seen it, and would have compared it to something I had. Do you understand what I’m saying?’
I nodded.
‘Now, the things you are asking questions about, are things that find their origins in other dimensions. In other words, these are things that very few people have actually seen for themselves. Now, sticking to the analogy I’ve just given, you can maybe understand why it is hard for me to explain. The fact that it involves another dimension, and there is nothing in this dimension that compares to it, makes it even harder.’
I had to acknowledge that it made sense.
‘Then how is it possible for you to see things, and not for me?’ I asked.
‘Have you ever heard of the “third eye”?’ she asked.
‘I’ve heard of it,’ I grinned, ‘but I’ve never seen it.’
‘I won’t bother you with all kinds of theories on chakras. The only thing you must be aware of is that psychics have learned to work with those chakras, or portals. A psychic can activate chakras, which then opens a portal to another dimension. You don’t see that dimension with your regular eyes, but with your third eye.’
‘Does everybody have a third eye?’
‘Everybody does!’
‘And could anybody learn to activate it?’
‘Certainly.’
‘So if everybody would learn to activate their third eye, everybody would be able to perceive that other dimension?’
‘That’s right.’
‘So why don’t people do so?’
‘Because they don’t believe they can; or because they don’t make the time; or because they’re too impatient and want instant results. At the same time, there are risks involved.’
‘What do you mean?’
She brooded upon her reply. ‘Did you ever hear of “like attracts like”?’
I nodded.
‘Well... Imagine you’re the kind of person who has perverted thoughts, but manages to suppress them. If you were to use your third eye, not knowing that when you have perverted thoughts, you attract spirits with the same thoughts, you might be in for the shock of your life when you gaze upon the images that are presented to you at such time. It wouldn’t be the first time somebody ended up institutionalized like that.’
‘You mean there are people in mental health wards because they’ve experimented too much or in the wrong way with these kinds of things?’
‘You’d be surprised how many crazy people are not really crazy, but instead are possessed by somebody – somebody who may or may not have bad intentions,’ she replied.
I burst out laughing. ‘I can’t believe that. As if a spirit could take over another person? Surely you don’t believe that?’

I hope you enjoyed it and that it cleared up some thoughts.

[Knowntheghost]

Ok, I read the exerpt, and the end is what got me, aboutpeople really being possessed... That is truly possible?! Once I read that strong sports could do that, they could make you do whatever they wanted, make you forget what you were doing. I just wrote it off as fake though. It had seemed a bit like, well, a fake book. sorry for the reference, I'm in no way saying your book is fake!  But they can do that?! And if so, do you know HOW

[WernerV]

Hi Knowntheghost,

Everybody is entitled to their own opinion so don't apologise for the fact you think something is fake!
I have to admit I have also had a lot of those thoughts on a lot of paranormal things before, until I got my own proof or experience of it.

Seems like you will really benefit from reading my book because many of your question will probably be answered within.
As a way of promotion I'm giving away free digital copies this Saturday and Sunday. (March 9-10)
All you need to do is follow the link in my signature and make an account (for free). Download the free Kindle software and the book.
Everything in the book is based on my own experience even though it is a novel.

So, to answer your question: 'Yes, being possessed is possible'
Their are all kinds of different types of possessions, but I'm not gonna rewrite my book all over again here on this forum.
So just download the book (for free) and read it. If you should have any further questions on it, I will be very glad to further discuss it with you.

Love, Werner.

Platinumblue,

you asked:

Quote

Sorry to disappoint you, but 'yes' it is!
It is even a very dangerous way of communication because a lot of people (like you) don't believe in the fact that they can communicate with the spirits. So they use it as if nothing bad can happen and because they think it is just their own subconscious moving the planchette or glass. I've seen several people change because they got possessed by spirits without knowing.
I do understand this all sounds like crud to a lot of people because they haven't experienced something like that themselves, but I can only talk to you from my own experience and answer these questions accordingly.

Regards, Werner.

[platinumblue]

Thanx for taking the time to answer my questions @WernerV!

I will now proceed to ask the other 50 below.... Kidding!  I will spare you.

I read the excerpt and so far, I find it very entertaining.  A quick look over at Amazon brought me to this review :

Dean Sims said:

This novel falls in the genre of The Celestine Prophecy (only better) and Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach (a classic).....

After reading that I was sold.  Thank you for promoting your book here to the Ghoststudy members.  Looking forward to it!
