The 7 Spirits and the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) act in complete unity with neither preference nor compromise. If we hope to obtain anything from the Lord we must approach Him in complete agreement and unity with His very nature, and since the 7 Spirits comprise the very nature of God Himself, we must approach Him in complete unity with the 7 Spirits of God. But Who are the 7 Spirits of God? Before we can answer the question of Who They are, we are unfortunately forced to first answer the question of Who They are not.

Some people have taken Isaiah 11:1-2 as being the one verse in the Bible that talks about the identity of the 7 Spirits of God:

There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots. The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD. (NKJV)

If we look carefully at this passage we notice first of all that one of these Spirits is called “The Spirit of the LORD,” however by definition each of these would be spirits of the Lord. Second, wisdom, understanding and counsel are all basically the same thing, so the best we could possibly obtain from this passage is 4 spirits, not 7. Lastly, the passage is basically talking about a single Spirit that would rest upon Jesus Christ, namely the Holy Spirit, which is exactly what this passage is really talking about. It doesn’t discuss the 7 Spirits of God at all!

So Who are the 7 Spirits of God? They are: the Spirit of Life (Romans 8:2), the Spirit of Truth (John 15:26), the Spirit of Wisdom (Ephesians 1:17), the Spirit of Holiness (Romans 1:4), the Spirit of Faith (2 Corinthians 4:13), the Spirit of Love (1 John 4:8), and the Spirit of Prophecy (Revelations 19:10). The other two Spirits mentioned in Scripture are the Spirit of Glory (1 Peter 4:14) which refers to the 7 Spirits of God collectively, and the Spirit of Grace (Hebrews 10:29) which refers to the Holy Spirit.

Each of the 7 Spirits is infinite in Her scope: infinite Life (hence the need for eternal residences: Heaven or Hell), infinite Truth (more than could ever be known by all the created beings throughout all time and space put together), infinite Wisdom (complete omniscience: there is at least one solution to every problem or question), infinite Holiness (there is only one perfect attitude and action for every situation that is ultimately acceptable), infinite Love (everyone is ultimately on the Lord’s heart in every second of every day of every year of every millennium, and He continually seeks the well-being of every individual without compromising any other individuals), infinite Faith (everything is possible), and infinite Prophecy (the Lord is always seeking to communicate with everyone at all times). These 7 infinite Spirits collectively comprise the very nature and character of the Lord God simultaneously.

If you can begin to grasp the sum total of the infinite influences of these 7 Spirits, you have a glimpse into the character of the living God. If you find these concepts difficult, or even impossible to grasp, remember that God is infinite, and you are not. Each of us, and even all mankind put together, are finite in nature. The finite will never fully comprehend the infinite. It is absolutely impossible. However, the more we do comprehend and apprehend of the full nature of God Himself, the better we can relate to Him and obtain the blessings we desire.

1. The ‘Unseen’ World has ‘Power’

Most people can relate to connecting an electrical appliance into a wall socket to utilize the electrical energy to operate one of many modern-day appliances. Electricity cannot be seen or heard, yet we instantly know its presence if we happen to touch one of its conductors accidentally. We readily accept that electricity exists in the ‘unseen’ world around us, and that it is associated with power (or energy). As with fire, electricity can be our servant if we remain in control of it, or it can kill us if we show it disrespect.

There are other examples of energy sources present in the ‘unseen’ world if we take the time to consider them. Magnetism is a good illustrator of this, because technology has harnessed the power contained within the invisible magnetic field surrounding a magnet to produce both small and large amounts of electrical power. Other invisible forces we can relate to in a similar manner are nuclear (power generation and medical), microwave (medical, domestic cooking), wind and solar (renewable energy), etc. – yet we simply accept the presence of these (invisible) energy sources without asking too many questions. However, their physical presence (such as poles and power lines) stand as a silent sentinel to indicate that there is possibly more to the unseen world around us than simply drawing the energy we need from it.

If we accept from the above evidence that there is an ‘unseen’ world from which we draw energy, then it is worth considering that there may be other ‘things’ that inhabit this ‘unseen’ world also.

2. The ‘Unseen’ World has ‘Spirits’

It is easy to dismiss the prospect of ‘spirit’ beings inhabiting the unseen world around us, but it is interesting to note that clairvoyants and psychics not only have the ability to contact these ‘spirits,’ but they are able to communicate with them. A quick Google search can confirm that for a number of reasons, people from all walks of life engage those who offer these spiritual services for assistance. Most psychics offer their services to business leaders and individuals when they have a need for some ‘spiritual guidance’ at difficult times in their lives. These people call upon certain ‘spirit beings’ to mediate information between this unseen world and our physical world to their earthbound clients. This claim is an established fact. It can be concluded from this that both energy and ‘spirits’ inhabit the ‘unseen’ world. These spirits not only have intelligence, but are able to communicate information to people through mediums such as clairvoyants and psychics.

If we examine human history that extends back thousands of years, a conclusion can be drawn that people from all levels of society throughout all nations and cultures have practiced some form of religion. An ancient religion that associates directly with spirits is Witchcraft. In this, witches worship and communicate with beings in the unseen world such as land, bird, water, reptile, bug, mythic and extinct spirit guides, together with brownies, elves, fairies, fauns, gnomes, leprechauns, nymphs and pixies, amongst others. This claim is easily confirmed using an appropriate Google search. Again, this means that within the ‘unseen’ world where energy and ‘spirits’ are present, religions (like Witchcraft) continue to associate with spirit beings today in the same manner as those who created their religion, thousands of years ago.

3. More about the ‘Unseen’ World’s ‘Spirits’

If we try to discover further information about religion from ancient history, any investigation would reveal that the beliefs and practices of all ancient (and modern) religions have a variety of differences. Some religions worship gods made of wood, stone or metal, whereas others use a set of beliefs termed ‘faith’ that originated in writings termed ‘holy scriptures.’ A number of these religions deal with unseen spirits in an open or direct manner, whereas others are less involved or ignore them completely. Christianity is a good example of this where some Christians simply ‘pray’ and don’t do much else, whereas other Christians cast evil spirits out of people.

If we were to accept that the Bible is a reliable source of historical information regarding the types of spirit beings that exist within the spirit world, the next question might be – can we believe what the Bible reveals to us about these things or not? If we use statistics as a guide to help resolve this question, one would discover that Moses wrote the Book of Genesis (the Book of Beginnings) some 3,800 years ago, and the Bible concluded with the New Testament writings of the apostles in the early church, approximately 2,000 years ago. According to Wikipedia, the number of copies of the Bible sold or distributed throughout the world number into “the billions,” therefore, from both a historical and spiritual perspective, the Bible is not only a rich source of information about humanity and the physical world we live in, but it reveals many things about the spirit world also. To ignore the Bible is to ignore an ancient source of information that has been available to the English-speaking world for some 400 years, that contains the ancient writings of the both the Old and New Testament books.

In respect of our question, (Is the Spirit World Real?) the Bible identifies the types of ‘beings’ that inhabit this unseen world. It also identifies where certain types of spirit beings are located. In this regard, the following spirit beings have been described as inhabiting certain ‘principalities’ that are identified below:

• Heaven. God is the Creator of everything in both the physical and spiritual worlds. He is represented in the form of three separate persons – God the Father (supreme), His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
• Cherubim and Seraphim are also spirit beings that serve God in Heaven
• Angels are mentioned in scripture that inhabit Heaven with God. These are termed, ‘holy angels.’
• The ‘Heavenlies’. There are angels mentioned in scripture who inhabit the regions of the upper atmosphere around the earth. These angels are those who oppose God’s purposes on the earth and are referred to as ‘fallen angels.’
• Earth. Evil spirits walk upon the surface of the earth and seek to enter into the physical bodies of people. This usually happens when they entice people to commit acts of sin, which represents rebellion from those created in God’s image (humankind) towards their Creator. The Bible reveals that there is a variety of evil spirits in this world that cause many forms of illnesses in people (both psychologically and medically), but their aim is to bring about premature death to their victims and eternal torment to their souls.
• Hell. The Bible reveals there are five separate compartments located in the centre of the earth that God created to imprison His rebel spirits – both angelic and human. As all people are spiritual beings encased in their physical body while alive on the earth, at death, their soul either ascends to its Creator God, or descends into Hell. Each soul’s eternal destiny is determined by its sinfulness (or rebellion) towards God during its lifetime on the earth.

4. What Happens when we Die?

A more serious issue that should concern every person is – what happens when we die? Is it simply “lights out” after the physical body dies as some people prefer to imagine in their ignorance, or is there an afterlife as the Bible says there is? To illustrate this point a little further, the Bible confirms that from our Creator’s perspective, the life we live doesn’t last very long at all in terms of the timelessness of eternity. The Bible illustrates how God views each person’s lifetime in the verses of scripture below:

(James 4:14) “…For what is your life? It is even a vapour that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”

(Psalm 90:9-10) “… we spend our years as a tale that is told. {10} The days of our years are threescore years and ten [or 70]; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years [80], yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it [our life] is soon cut off [in death], and we fly away [when our soul departs the dead body into the spirit world].”

The words of Psalm 90 (above) confirm from elsewhere in the Bible that we are spirit beings encased in an ‘Earthsuit’ that we term, the human body. While our bodies remain alive and healthy, we (as spirit beings) are able to move about on the earth to live out our lifetime as we choose. However, when our ‘Earthsuit’ dies, its spiritual inhabitant (the human soul) is then released into the timelessness of eternity and taken to either one of two places located within the spirit world (Luke 16:22).

If the soul recognized and served its Creator and His Son Jesus Christ during its earthbound lifetime, then at death, it will be transported to Heaven to wait for a judgment of rewards that will be fulfilled as ‘blessings’ that will extend into eternity (1 Cor 3:9-15). In contrast to this, the soul that has rejected its Creator and His Son Jesus Christ will be transported to the underworld (or Hell) to await the Day of Judgment.

(Luke 16:23-24) “And in hell he [the rich man] lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. {24} And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.”

The defining issue of where human souls are transported to after death is determined by their sinfulness. It is in this life that our Creator gives us our free will to determine whether eternal life or eternal death are ‘real’ – and whether we should prepare for eternal life while the time remains; or choose to ignore this opportunity and take a gamble on the Bible simply being a useless ‘fairy tale.’

Some Plants Have Long Been Associated with Magic or Clairvoyant Powers and Used as Charms Against Evil.

Anyone who has read the Harry Potter novels can attest to the novel’s parade of strange concoctions of plants for magical purposes. But in real life, yes certain plants do have a history with magic. Rosemary is one such plant. In Europe, a sprig of rosemary placed under the pillow was thought to prevent nightmares. A sprig placed over the doorway was believed to ward off witches. European medieval history is filled with stories of warding off evil spirits and witches. Paranoia based on ignorance and fueled by religious zeal, existed throughout the whole period of the Middle Ages.

Here are some other examples of “magical plants”:

Cedarwood oil used in ritual purification after touching anything “unclean.”

German chamomile was considered a sacred herb by the Egyptians, Moors and Saxons.

The Romans revered Clary Sage as herba sacra or ‘sacred herb’ because of its euphoric properties.

Fennel was thought to ward off evil spirits and spells cast by witches. They hung sprigs of fennel over doorways to fend off evil.

Galbanum was considered spiritually uplifting.

Hyssop was used to protect against plague and to drive away evil spirits.

Juniper was used in the Middle Ages to ward off witches.

Marjoram was considered a funeral herb to bring spiritual peace to the departed.

Melissa or Lemon Balm was considered the “elixir of life” and used for nervous discords and ailments dealing with the heart or the emotion-anxiety, melancholy and to strengthen and revive the vital spirit.

Mugwort in the Middle Ages was associated with superstition and witchcraft and was used as a protective charm against evil and danger.

Myrrh is one of the oldest spiritual oils known to man-lifting the spirit to the gods.

Myrtle was considered a sign of immortality and used in religious ceremonies.

Palo Santo was known to peoples of Latin America as a spiritual oil to purify and cleanse the air of negative energies.

Sage was used by native peoples to help cleanse the aura of negativities.

Sandalwood is considered one of the oldest oils known for its spiritual qualities and assistance with prayer and meditation. It is also considered an aphrodisiac.

Spikenard was considered one of the sacred chrisms for anointing monarchs and high initiates into the mystery schools.

The Lakota Indians used black spruce to strengthen their ability to communicate with the Great Spirit. They believed spruce possesses the frequency of prosperity.

Thyme was associated with ‘courage.’ The Roman soldiers bathed in thyme before going into battle and in the Middle Ages, sprigs of thyme were woven into the scarves of knights departing for the Crusades-again to boost courage.

In the Middle Ages, yarrow was cut “with a black-handled knife, by moonlight, repeating mystic words. It was then brought home, put into the right stocking, and placed under the pillow” so that young Highland girls would dream of their true loves!

The Devil Owns Channeling

The Devil’s reach is far and broad in our society. During the last thirty to forty years, there has been a renaissance in people communicating with spirits via Channeling which is an ancient practice. Channeling is very different than the direct thought-energy telepathy between Marcia and myself, or a legitimate psychic who acts as a medium for making a connection between those in the physical world and their love ones in the spirit world. In Channeling there is no direct communication between you and various spiritists or divinists like spirit guides, masters, angels, even non-physical entities and pets.

What happens is these spiritists send you messages from the supposed spiritual world and you act as a “Channel” to receive them. The message is not given in words but rather you must decipher these messages as if you are a translator of a foreign language. Some Channelers have described these messages as a flow of non-verbal communication in the form of an intuitive mixture of thoughts, words, emotions, and sensations, jumbled up all together, that the Channeler’s mind converts and puts into words.

You can receive these messages in a totally or partially conscious state where you falsely believe that the entity does not enter your body or in a light or heavy unconscious trance. In the latter instance, your energy moves aside allowing the spirit entity full access to your body and you lose full awareness of what transpires. You may even choose to hang out with your passed love one while the Channeling is occurring. The best Channelers suggest that the messages being sent may not be accurate but when they are, they provide a clarity of spiritual thought that cannot otherwise be achieved.

A Personal Experience

I have helped others connect to their love ones in the spirit world and recently I helped a woman contact her father via direct thought-energy telepathy. We did this on the phone from Florida to California. However immediately following the telepathic communication, this woman also unknowingly had a Channelling experience where she felt a sensation and then expressed this feeling in words. When I checked my energy levels I discovered that the Channeling was not through her father but by was initiated by some evil cohort which turned out to be the Devil.

When I got off the phone, I realized that she wasn’t actually interpreting the feeling or thought as is believed by Channelers, but rather the Devil was placing the thought into her brain without speaking to her. She then repeated the Devil’s thought to me over the phone. How can the Devil do this and how can he place thoughts simultaneously into a multitude of Channelers’ brains around the globe? The Devil is very powerful because he has both human and angelic attributes. I know that on numerous occasions the Devil has spoken exactly like Marcia, and I have to check the energy of my Divine soul to be sure whom I am speaking with. The Devil is fully aware of spirituality and could easily masquerade to pass false messages as his own thoughts using the pretext that these messages are coming from guides, masters, Jesus, and angels like Archangel Michael.

God’s Position on Channeling

Back thirty-three hundred years ago at the time of the Exodus from Egypt, God warned the Israelites and the generations to follow about Channeling being an abomination of sorcery and witchcraft. God realized that His brand of true spirituality would be muddied and cluttered by the Devil centuries later. And God’s vision has come true, since so many people today believe that they are contacting the spirit world when they Channel. I personally would recommend to trust only the voices of love ones that you know. Even with direct communication with so called “masters,” how do you know the master is real and is not the Devil? I have a way of checking through energy measurements, and I can confirm everything with Marcia’s bodiless soul in the spirit world.

The early Hebrew prophets, handpicked by God, were the very first humans to serve as “Channels” for God’s words to the Jewish people. The prophets received God’s messages while in a trance- or dream-like state and they helped guide the people in their daily living. Only Moses was in a conscious state and wide awake when God came to him and conversed. The later prophets were given a gift to accurately predict the future while they spoke the word of God to the people. Under normal circumstances, the future is a series of probabilities and is impossible to exactly predict.

Channeling is the antithesis of what God was conveying through His prophets follow the Ten Commandments, lead a spiritual path, and if you so choose, believe and trust in God. God sternly warned against Channeling repeatedly in various biblical passages. Nowhere in the Bible does it say to trust these spiritual entities over God.

Dangerous Consequences of Channeling

In biblical times in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and the Holy Land with the idol worshipping Canaanite nations, knowledge came not through God but through augury or enchantment, sorcery and evil wizards who used magic and drugs, and witchcraft and charmers who employed evil potions accompanied by curses and spells, not unlike the voodoo-ism practiced in Haiti. Communication with the dead often involved a human skull.

The messages conveyed by the sorcerers of the past and now with the Devil in modern Channeling are the same evil. The Devil is masterfully pulling good people, even believers in God, to follow a different path away from God. In the process of the Devil planting his thoughts in the brains of Channelers, all people who Channel are allowing health-damaging evil energy to enter their bodies. The entities, like favorite master spirits, become idols that you hero worship when you Channel. The rub is that the Devil is these entities, and if you are not careful he will own your soul. You have been tempted exactly like Eve was tempted by the Devil serpent in the Garden of Eden.

God gave the Devil dark energy so that the Devil could influence our evil inclination located in our left brain, and also actually become the evil inclination in evil human beings. Through his control of the evil inclination, the Devil can place thoughts simultaneously in all those who Channel. Channeling can lead to chronic illness and even death because dark evil energy is mixing and diluting out your Divine soul Light energy particles that you need to remain alive.

Disincarnate spirits (“deceased” human beings) can exert a subtle or direct influence-both good and bad-upon humans. They may influence us without our awareness by offering inspiration that we express through writing, speaking, and other creative or artistic ventures. Or they may tempt us to do something harmful to a living creature or distract us from doing something that we know is in our best interest.

It is easy to distinguish between more evolved and less advanced spirits. The language of more evolved spirits is honorable and free of bias; these may be our spirit guides. Lesser evolved spirits may use harsh language and urge us to react to situations through our ego rather than responding through the mind/heart of God-Goddess. The ego believes in the need to suffer, feel guilty, judge self and others, and do whatever it takes to defend its position.

There are more humans inhabiting the planet than ever. That means there are a higher number of entities on the Earth plane as well. Author Ethan Vorly shares that entities are the unresolved karma or crystallization that was housed in the astral body of someone who has died and was not cremated. We know that fire and smoke are purifying agents, and this is probably why many ancient cultures performed last rites for a departing soul and burned the physical body on a funeral pyre. This is said to dismantle the astral body and transmute its negative karma. If this is true, then it certainly explains why we have seen such a huge increase in violence, depression, and suicide since embalming and burial became the preferred method of disposing of a physical body upon death.

The energetic pattern that was attached to the astral body of a human host during an incarnation is shed like a snake skin when that host dies. As the soul ascends into higher planes and crosses into the light, the astral body is left behind to roam the Earth plane where it seeks a new host with a similar frequency. During the ascension, people are suddenly becoming more able to see, feel, hear, sense, and even smell the presence of earth-bound spirits. I’ve dealt with earthbound spirits on many occasions. Jesus confronted them as well; if someone asked Him to remove the “demon” (as they were called in the Bible), He obliged.

Earthbound spirits feed off the energy of humans in order to remain active. They target humans who have similar fixations as their own. It might be someone with a drug or alcohol abuse problem, someone with emotional distress in their life, trauma, abuse, or someone who is simply ungrounded or not fully participating in their own spiritual development. So when an earthbound spirit finds a human in a state of despair, having weak or no boundaries, the earthbound spirit may attach itself to that person’s electromagnetic energy field that surrounds the body and is sometimes referred to as the aura. Not only does the entity start siphoning energy from the host, the negative energy of the entity contaminates the aura, causing the human host to feel out of sorts, have dysfunctional thoughts, feel physically sick, experience rampant emotions, or have cravings that are not their own.

The best way to keep entities away is to raise your personal vibration through spiritual purification practices. Keeping your thoughts pure requires a constant effort, but as you vibrate at a purer level, these entities are less apt to bother you. It also helps to keep your aura close to your body and remove any negative or stuck energy so that these entities are no longer attracted to you. Keep focusing on the light within you, using affirmations, mantras, and clearing exercises such as smudging with sage. If things are really bad or an entity has been attached to your home or auric field for some time, you might want to use the alcohol and Epsom salt recipe mentioned in my book about personal ascension.

As you start to clear your field and remove layers of unresolved karma (anything not aligned with the law of grace), things can seem worse rather than better for a short while. I urge you to persevere and not quit in the process. For example, once you have cleared (or while clearing) a negative mental pattern, you may expose a dark entity, which was feeding on the energy surrounding a misaligned thought pattern. The issue brought to the light removed the entity’s energy source, which can feel unsettling for the host and the entity. Since at some time in your past you gave the entity permission (most likely you were unaware of doing so) to stay and influence you, you are the one who needs to dismiss it from its duties and help it move on.

Dr. Caron Goode says that when she did past life regression, hypnosis, and light-trance sessions, she always asked the client, “Why did you create or attract this entity?” Rather than trying to “drive out demons” you may simply need to thank the entity for the purpose it served and send it into the light. However, to get an entity to go into the light, it must first realize that there is a light to go into and that it will be a pleasant experience-many do not want to go there for fear of punishment.

Remember, earthbound souls are former humans now without bodies. The reason souls become earthbound is due to their emotional problems, and just like humans in a body, they need healing. Remain non-resistant by offering compassion to these lost souls. They need the same love and light we do. They don’t respond well to techniques that attempt to remove them by force. In fact, this can make things worse because even if the entity leaves, it may only be temporary, and when it returns it may be angry and seeking revenge.

The reason many clearings fail is because the person doing the clearing does not open the entity to its deeper subconscious feelings. Entities need to recognize and heal their deeper emotional scars. Free them from their misery by helping them see the role they are playing in the lives of embodied souls. Ethan Vorly writes: “Once the entity feels these deeper underlying emotions, it automatically allows the light in, which quickly transforms it. They are always sorry for what they have done and become loving beings as they are absorbed into the light where they are freed from all pain. It is truly beautiful to witness.” Once the entity is ready to move on, you can use an Entity Release Prayer to send it on its merry way.

We all want to cherish these beautiful moments and make them the memorable especially this time of the year. Compared to the last one if you want something different, doesn't always have to be over the top.

I have worked on my own development for many years, and worked with and taught others to do the same. Part of this process is spiritual growth, a huge part of it is understanding and working with our own energy, and a smaller aspect, and the result, can be the ability to speak with spirits.

However – do not expect to be able to speak with spirits overnight. It can take many months or years before you are able to demonstrate this ability.

PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING A OUIJA BOARD TO SPEAK WITH SPIRITS

Here is a check list of things you need to learn, work through and continually develop if you really wish to speak with spirits. I have included a brief description and where possible a link to further articles about the subject.

1. Right Here, Right Now! This is about setting aside a space and time where you let it be known that you are working on your spiritual and psychic development. It is a way of saying, ‘OK, I’m stepping out of my physical world and reality and am ready to work psychically’. Ideally set aside a couple of hours each week- preferably at the same time, and in the same space. This will also help if you are a natural psychic or medium and have problems with controlling when you receive information. If ‘they’ know you’re only ‘available’ at certain times you can get on with everyday things without being interrupted. No-one wants to speak with spirits when they’re working out, or on the school run!
2. Stay Safe: Before you do any kind of energetic, psychic or mediumistic work you MUST learn how to put psychic or energetic protection in place.
3. Stay Safe part 2: While psychic protection is essential and will help to ensure you are working in a safe and controlled way, it is also important that you learn to Close & Ground. This is done at the end of any work of this nature and is away of saying ‘Right, I’m off back to my real, physical world, I’m shutting down, and you guys can’t follow me. See you next time’.
4. Chill Man! Meditation is the number one tool that is freely available to you that will make the biggest difference in your development and spiritual journey. You need to be able to get into an altered state of consciousness easily and safely and regular meditation will help with this. It is also the best way to contact your spirit guides too.
5. Contacting Your Spirit Guides: Not absolutely essential for every medium but the majority of people who speak with spirits will do so through their spirit guide. They are like the mediums of the spirit world helping us to speak with spirits on their side. Spirit guides also ensure that any negative energy is kept away from you while you work.
6. Channelling Energy: Getting to grips with ‘universal life force’ or ‘psychic energy’ is essential, it helps you to control your own energy and learn to channel more of it which will assist you in your development.
7. Dowsing: This is a very simple way to, fairly quickly, see your skills develop and learn how you can tap in to universal or psychic energy. It shouldn’t be the ‘be all and end all’ of your psychic skills but it’s certainly a good skill to develop, especially in the early days. It can help to give you confidence in your abilities in the early days.
8. See How It’s Done: Visit a Spiritualist Church and watch some live demonstrations so you can see how it’s done. They may also run some circles or workshops that you could take part in.
9. Get Together: Find a group, course, workshops or a development circle. Or start your own with friends of like mind.
10. Rinse & Repeat: Work, work, practice, practice, work some more, practice some more, keep working, keep practicing.There is no quick-fix with this kind of thing. It can seem frustrating but you will improve. Keeping a journal will you to track your progress.

Himachal Pradesh is a mountainous state in northern India. It has no railways and the connection between distant villages is only by roads or mountain paths. My father tells me that when he used to visit his village which was on the border with Himachal Pradesh he would often venture for a walk into the wild mountains.

He told me that one day he and a friend of his decided to go for a long trek in the mountains. After walking a mile or so my father and his friend saw a black cat sitting on their path. As they moved closer the cat continued to purr and refused to give way. So my father’s friend who carried a lathe (wooden rod) had swiped at the cat. But before the rod could descend on the cat it vanished. My father and his friend laughed and thought it to be an illusion. They continued further and this episode was repeated. A faint alarm now rang in their mind.

As they continued further they saw child standing on the road and he was crying. My father thought his mother must be nearby. So he lifted the child and shouted for the mother. But says my father the child then started laughing and slowly his weight started increasing. Alarmed my father dropped the child and ran back to the village loudly reciting the Jap the prayer of Guru Nanak.

He told me no uncertain terms that what he had accosted was a chaleda. This was a term I heard for the first time. Though the tale was narrated by my father I initially took it with a pinch of salt. But some study in this field and a visit to Himachal confirmed to me that a chaleda is very much a spirit that is in existence and has the power to appear before a human in different forms. It could take the shape of a beautiful woman or an animal. It is an evil spirit and plays with the victim by taking different forms and then may either maim or even kill him.

The chaleda as per popular belief is a spirit of a man who has died a premature or violent death. Such spirits are doomed to roam the earth till their day of salvation when they can gain entry into the gates of the spirit world.

There is big debate whether there is anything like spirits or an after life. But the phenomenon that I have narrated is difficult to explain. Yes, the chaleda is not heard of anywhere else in the world or for that matter in any other part of India. This spirit appears to be peculiar to Himachal Pradesh. Thus there is a possibility that a legend may have been built up by the people there from some different episodes. But this is a simplistic argument. I for one have no rational explanation of what or who is a chaleda.

Times are changing and scientific thought has permeated the world over. But a lot many mysteries are still to be explained. Bizarre happenings and events like appearance of a Chaleda need further study.

Perversion is defined as the condition of being perverted or corrupt. It is the straying away from the natural to unnatural sexual practices or acts especially when it is done habitually. The spirit of perversion can be manifested in many ways such as sexual perversions, child abuse, pornography, incest, having a filthy mind, chronic worrying, walking in foolishness, twisting the word of God, evil actions, abortion,having a broken spirit, doctrinal error and atheism.

In the Book of Isaiah it speaks of God allowing a perverse spirit to be mingled in the midst of Egypt because of their continual sin and disobedience to God. It says “The Lord has mingled a perverse spirit in her midst; And they have caused Egypt to error in all her work, as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.”

Because of man’s disobedience and rebellion against God and Hid word, He will allow a perverse spirit to take over the minds and hearts of people who embrace and welcome this spirit. We are give choices in life and God never forces us to serve Him. He has given us free will. With this free will we can either serve Him and obey His word, or we can choose not to serve him and disobey his word, it’s just that simple.

We must understand though through our actions we will always reap a reaction. When we obey God and His Word, we reap abundant life, blessings, protection, joy, peace, love and everything good that God has purposed for our lives. When we go against God’s Word in rebellion and choose to live life our way, we reap sorrow and pain, hurt, confusion, lack, poverty and even death. Proverbs 14:12 “There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.”

God’s Love For Us

John 3:16 says “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

God loves us all so very much, which is why He has created a way of escape for everything we could possible get ourselves into.The Bible says there is no test or temptation that comes your way that is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he’ll never let you be pushed past your limit; he’ll always be there to help you come through it.

From the beginning of time in the Garden of Eden, God has set before us life and death. When he spoke to Adam in the Garden and told him not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he was setting Adam on the path of life. It was up to Adam to obey God’s word and choose life. He warned Adam that if he ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that he would surely die.

This was not God tempting Adam to disobey him because God never tempts us with evil or to do wrong. Remember God has given us all free will and it is up to us to choose to live by His Word. His word is best for us because He is our Creator. He knows our beginning, our end and our journey in between. There is nothing to hard for God. Nothing is a mystery or surprise to God, but it is to us. God has already walked out our entire lives for us. He knows the traps that have been set up by Satan to kill our dreams, to steal our destiny and to destroy our future. God knows where the stumbling blocks have been laid in the road of life to cause you to stumble and fall. He knows where the hidden ditches have been set up for you by the enemy to cause you to fall off and be lost in dark places of confusion and despair so you can give up and die!

We will ultimately fall into the traps of life that the enemy has set up for us, when we choose to walk in rebellion to Gods laws. God has given us His laws for our protection. It is just like a good parent. As a parent we give our children rules to obey and follow not because we want to ruin their fun and make them miserable. We give them rules for their protection, to keep them safe from evil and to save their lives. It is the same with God. His love for us is even greater and His Word is given to us always for our protection, to keep us safe from the evil one and to give us eternal and abundant life.

Disobedience Leads To Perversion

According to Romans 1:18-32 we see how our disobedience can and will lead to a spirit of perversion taking over. It says: “God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness. They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles. So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired.

As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen. That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved. Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done. Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy. They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.

As we can see, as a result of disobedience their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. These are the results of what happens when we try to do things our way. It also tells us that they also disobey their parents. Does this sound like the time we are living in today where children are disobedient to their parents and even going so far as to killing their parents because they do not want to obey their rules.

Consequences Of Disobedience

There are always consequences to sin. Even with knowing God’s law and His Word was for their protection, the people chose to disobey. Verse 26 says that is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. When we continue to live this life according to our own lustful desires and walk after the spirit of perversion, God will remove His Hand and His protection from over a person, a city, a state or even an entire nation. When the hand of God is removed and this spirit of perversion is released it will lead a nation into all kinds of trouble.
