A Journey into the World of Ghost and Spirits

John Messina
Many people have wondered about ghost and spirits and why at times some of us can see them or feel their presence.

Ghosts are earth bound spirits and they exist because they either have some unresolved earth issues or they may not realize that they are even dead. In a few of the paragraphs that follow I will explain some of the reasons why a spirit can remain earth bound (Ghost).

A person who has had a violent death like a murder victim in a crime may remain earth bound in an attempt to contact family members in order to expose the perpetrator who killed them. Some ghosts will relive their violet death experience over and over again until there is some form of resolution to their murder. A ghost has no concept of time like we do because there is no such thing as time in the astral plane. The astral plane is another dimension or plane of existence between the earth plane and the spirit world. This plane can be visited by us through astral projection a topic I will discuss in a future article.

.Addictions to money, drugs, material possessions or any other earthly possession can cause a spirit not to move on (cross over) and remain earth bound as a ghost. Eventually these ghosts will move on after realizing that the material things they had when alive is not important anymore.

A lost of a love one in a time of war can prevent someone from moving on thinking that their love one will being returning home one day from war. There have been documented cases of a love one sitting at the window waiting for their solider to come back home from the war not realizing that they are dead themselves. This has been documented in photos where you can see a image of a woman sitting or standing at a window looking out.

These are only a few of many reasons why a spirit can remain earth bound as a ghost.

Just so that you are not confused, a ghost is an earth bound spirit. A spirit that is not earth bound is not a ghost but the life force or soul that crosses over and continues to live on in the spirit world

All matter that exists in the universe is made up of energy. Energy can not be destroyed only altered in form or appearance. The same applies to all living things including us humans.

When our physical body dies our energy or life force continues to live on. Our essence does not die, our life force or energy lives on in another form what we call the spirit or soul. Since our essence remains intact our life force will retain all our personal attributes when we crossover into the spirit world minus any negativity and our ego which are physical attributes while here on earth.

When a spirit first crosses over into the spirit world or heaven as it's called in some religions, they will go through a tunnel and be greeted at the other side by loved ones and even their pets that have departed before they died.

There are many books out there that are very informative and even describes the spirit world in vivid detail. Here are just a few books I have read and would like to recommend to anyone who wants the read more about life after death and the spirit world.

    The concept of ghosts and earthbound spirits has always intrigued me. I don't understand why people have such a hard time believing in this concept. As you point out, energy can't be created or destroyed and that includes human energy. Excellent article.
