Contacting spirits?

I do. Used to run a 'sort of' study group in my late teens, when at college.robtex said:
A group of us were interested in ESP, Telekenesis, telepathy, anything of that ilk.
As far as contacting spirits was concerned, after reading up books on the subject, I had a group of six of us, using lettered cards (in a circle, on a table), and we used an inverted tumbler. Each person would place the indes finger on the glass, and we would wait to see if anything happened...................
The reason we used six people was the greater likelyhood that we weren't moving the glass by mutual design; six people are unlikely to be able to coordinate so well as to all moove the glass in the same direction.
In our group we had a couple of guys who went on to do a degree in physics, and another in chemistry (so they were nobody's fools).
We would get together for the cards and glass sessions, say, once a week, and we often seemed to be talking to someone.
What partially helped us believe that what we thought was hapopening was real was that we would often talk to two young girls, whose names were Ada and Faye (I shall never forget their names); the names were Victorian, and certainly none of us whould have dreamed up sucha name. The two girls (if I remember rightly, they told us they had been killed in a fire) were prone to michievious games, where they would pretend to being other people........................
With telekenenis, we had nojoys whatsoever, but Telepathy, once we found a good 'transmitter' and a good 'receiver' showed accuracy rates of some 75%, which while not incredible, were greater than 'just chance'.
I would never suggest that someone tries the cards and glass, without reading up on it first though, there are indeed ways of 'protecting' the participants.

Sounds like a home-made Ouija of sorts to me. Yet if anyone seems to use the word Ouija most people discount it as a hoax without knowing anything about it really. Shame really. A lot of things are based on that method of divination. It doesn't have to be a "Ouija" board really, just a means of setting up a way for the spirit to communicate effectively.Michel said:

You made me laugh right out loud at work....that definitely deserves frubals my friend! :biglaugh:
I used to have a Ouija board when I was a teenager, but all my friends just used to push the little thing around so I don't believe we ever had the pleasure of actually speaking with any real spirits.

I find that the danger arises when one does not approach spirits with respect. Things like using a cardboard, Milton Bradley (not sure if that's the brand) Ouija board practically invite angry spirits, and ones whose foremost purpose in contacting you is not for your benefit.
On the other hand, contacting one's spirit guides, protectors, angels, whatever one wishes to call them, can have positive effects, especially if a person makes sure to contact them only for the greatest good and healing.

I agree, there is an element of danger, but I always used to pray for protection; I was taught a technique (I really cannot remember who from), of vizualizing myself in a 'buble of light' - and one final point (sounds silly) - to make sure you 'see the person off' at the end........

Yeah I use the light orb for protection against the living more than the dead...

The Church of England, although I am no longer a Christian, I know enough not to mess with things that are beyond rationale. Let the dead stay dead, they have no place with the living. As a follower of Ancient religions, honouring the ancestors is an integral part of the system, but that doesn't mean I wish to commune with them, given that such a thing were possible.FeathersinHair said:

Why would you honour your ancestors if you didn't value their spirits?

Well, look at like this, the Egyptians often went to to the tombs of their ancestors, they had what we might call a picnic, they left food offerings and the deceased were thought to come forth from the tomb and partake. One of the Biggest Festivals in Upper Egypt, was ' The beautiful feast of the Valley', when the whole of Thebes would stay overnight by their ancestors tombs, this is right and good, but to my knowledge, nothing akin to seances ever took place. You honoured yor ancestors by ensuring the proper rites were carried out for them, and by the leaving of food offerings. Of course, in case this didn't actually happen, the scenes on the tomb walls were there to ensure that it did by means of Magical Spells.

STAY AWAY and to make my point more clear and loud. Do not medle in things you understand very little. I know not many will believe me but i have crossed their paths many times. In the begining i was scared out of my wits but as things progressed i got control over them.
For an year i was tormented. I dreamed of my father meeting his accident and injuring his spinal chord. That was a retaliation from them. Many times I have escaped hiting a bus by just mere inches.
Every night it was a nightmare. Finally i moved from the place and only switch off my lights after 3 am. Because that is the time of their recokenening. Some say, it is the time of the devil. I read this in an antrapologists books. I am not a man of religon or faith. I do not have believe in religon but since i have seen the supernatural, i am a firm believer paranormal science. I do a lot of Zen Meditation, practise yoga, been to hypnosis sessions and know self-hypnosis. I practice Reki, studied Vedic science, and all mythologies of the east. Gone through the roman rituals, and rune. The only thing i am yet to study is Druid magic. I have even studied buddist teachings and been to Tibetan monestry. I also studied Indian tantric magic, very scary stuff. They are known as Agoris, they eat the died. The live near the graveyard and all night roam the place for any burning pyrs. They sleep on a tombstone and drink water that is kept on the branches of banyan trees. It is a belife in northern parts of India that sprits reside in banyan trees and these water cans capture torrmented souls. Agoris still live near the ganges river and northern parts of India. If you ever visit India check them out only if you do not belive in those mambo jambo stuff.
I myself have not seen the died or eaten any. My experiences are something i cannot explain in physical terms. I do not suffer from paralysis or physcosis. I am not possesed by demons or sprits. I have gone through an EEG. I am a sane, rational, non-religous, man of doubt. I was drawn to this because of the darkside(not starwars) and a sense of adventure. In Buddist teaching they say, that if a man starts to achieve enlightment his inner demons start to attack him. I guess i lost the duel for more i became one with myself the more the attacks. I was so peaceful when i was meditating daily. I could sense things, became more hypersenstive. Then the attacks began and i gave up meditation.
Believe me when i say, do not medle in things you do not understand. For the timebeing i am staying away from all of it and for the last 9 months no more attacks. But now i am more than capable of handling anything they throw at me.
Call me nuts or make fun, i do not care. I know what i have experienced, most of it does not make sense. But one thing i know for sure. DO NOT MEDLE IN THINGS YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

I wouldn't dream of doing such a thing.............Arkangel said:
I made sure I did before doing so; but then, when I go into things, I usually do so having first researched.
If that is how you feel, then it is right for you. You are right in warning people off; it is not something to try without knowing what you are doing.
But there is nothing stopping you from looking into telepathy, or psychokinetics........

you cannot contact the dead. it isn't possible, for they have already been assimilated by the Force. Unlesss they figured out how to become a ghost or something.
