Spirit Realm

All you need is love.
I don't know. I don't think they can see us unless they come back to this realm through a portal but I don't think they stay long.
My friend @Sgt. Pepper would know more about that than I do.

I also wanted to mention that based on my experience, spirits who have returned to the physical world from the spirit realm can stay as long as they want and go wherever they want. Of course, they have no physical limitations, nor are they limited to linear time. Based on my understanding, human spirits can generally choose whether to cross over into the spirit realm or remain on Earth, but there are spirits who become stuck in the physical realm and need the assistance of a psychic medium to cross over. The following factors are what I believe contribute to the presence of earthbound spirits: (1) There are some spirits who don't realize that they are dead because they died unexpectedly and so they are in shock and are confused. They initally don't understand what has happened to them and it takes them a while to figure it out; (2) Some spirits are upset and scared of dying unexpectedly and are in denial that they are dead; (3) Some spirits have unfinished business, such as wanting to let their loved ones know that they're okay or feeling obligated to watch over their loved ones; (4) Some spirits are angry and are seeking justice or retribution for their death; and (5) Some spirits prefer to linger around the living because they miss being alive or because they feed on the negative emotions of the living. Finally, the last four factors are why I believe that a spirit's experience is primarily determined by them, and it can be positive or negative depending on how they handle their death and what kind of person they were in life.

I do believe in an afterlife, but that's as far as I've gone with it. I don't mess with spirits, and they don't mess with me, generally, thoiugh I WILL say that very rarely, I believe that spirits have contacted me, and it's always been very positive.

I don’t think there are any spirits so you can try to mess with them, but it would be pointless. However, I don’t think it would be good for one’s mental health to do such things because in my opinion, those things don’t exist anyway.

See my corrected post. Thanks.

I don’t think the dimension of life is that mysterious. It’s pretty simple actually. We live in a 3-D world with an infinite universe imo.
I see life as the fourth or fifth dimension if you add time. The qualities of being don't fit into a physical process. The abilities to remember, and reason is something that can never be understood that way. Rocks don't experience, love, or reason; why do we do so? Also the unity of selfhood remains constant as even people change and grow over time.

I believe all of existence began around 1979 And God created everything. I don’t believe abiogenesis ever took place. God had to create life. So beings or life is special.

I think it's wise not to mess with the spirits, particularly by provoking them to elicit a response. In fact, I think provoking spirits is very foolish and could be potentially dangerous for the person doing so. Having said that, I'm pleased to hear that you've had positive experiences while connecting with spirits.
