Mary from Terre Haute, IN, asked:
Hi Julie,
I find your information interesting.
I am a member of a church that speaks against spirit communications.
I am treading lightly but I have had spiritual experiences of my own and I don’t think they were evil.
Can you shed some light on the subject?
Thank you,
Mary
Hi Mary,
Great question! It’s one I’m frequently asked.
The intersection of spirituality and religious doctrine can often be complex terrain to navigate. It’s fairly common for individuals to encounter moments that feel deeply spiritual yet may not align perfectly with the teachings of their religious community.
I find it amusing when religions espouse prayer and then say spirit communication is wrong. Seems like an oxymoron to me. After all, to whom are you praying? God, Jesus, Buddha, a saint or angel, a deceased loved one? They’re all spirits!
And then there’s that little matter of the Bible and other religious and holy texts. They’re full of stories about people talking with God, angels, the Holy Spirit, etc. Was that sinful? I don’t think so!
It’s my belief that everyone communicates with spirit all day long. We may just not be aware of it or acknowledge where that guidance arriving via our thoughts originates. It’s coming from spirit.
When you hear something, pay attention to how it feels. Intuition, also known as a gut feeling, is an internal GPS system we all possess and it’s there to guide us. Follow it and utilize my Two-Minute Rule® technique to help you differentiate between real and fake fears.
