Audience: Individuals who believe in god(s), spirits, and/or so forth that are not defined by or are physical objects and/or persons (example animist-spirit of a chair, spirit of the a tree, spirit of a human). Basically, invisible but you know and have experienced your god(s), spirits, and/or so forth. So basically anyone from a Muslim to some Pagans can answer depending on how you associate spirit(s) or god(s) with the physical world. edit forgot: Christians who don't believe Christ as god. Same questions.
Question: Share your literal experiences with god(s)s, spirits, etc. What are or were your experiences? How do you know that your experiences were from your said god(s)s, spirits, and/or so forth-in other words, how did you differentiate the god(s) if you believe there is more than one or spirits that you chose or adopt in your faith and have experienced the gods as a result.
My answer?
How do I differentiate spirits from each other?

I put this in interfaith so there won't be debates. Debates are when you challenge each other's view and try to prove the opposite. Discussion involves agreeing, disagreeing, challenging without proving right or wrongs, and general conversation that may be sensitive in nature?
My answer?
I call spirits everyone of blood and history that are related to me (as souls of the deceased) and related to humanity (as spirits of the deceased since I don't know everyone's family member's who passed on and live as souls. Spirits is a collective reference). I get this from my mother. We saw souls of the deceased. I'd say spirit since we didn't know him.
Anyway, I talked about my experience with the soul who, a man, walked back and forth unstairs in our home. He had blue jeans and a white shirt. He was walking to the rest room. My mother talked about him as a regular person. My father thought she was cheating on him. The real estate lady who saw him never came back to the house-in shock. And so forth....
Another experience being held down by my wrists. It wasn't from the movies. It's like weights on top of you. No demons. No devil. Just someone holding you down.
Then my grandmother incident (or could be the spirits in general) saving me from getting hit by a car by pushing me back almost falling in the process.

What about you?I don't. If the spirit of Yamaya came to me, she'd be a spirit just as my grandmother, and just as Christ (given he is human with a soul). I don't' know Yamaya. I'd like to get to know her given she is the spirit of the water and she is also the mother of everyone. I've always knew there was a spirit of creation (not confused with christian definition please just can't think of another word at the moment.) My grandmothers I have an intimate relationship with. Christ I had through the sacraments. I pay my respects so I know my grandmother is with me. It's an "African" thang. Very high on the spirits and ancestors.
Trying to think, it doesn't have to be strictly literal like paranormal experiences that outsiders might define it is. More of a Spirit-ual experience. God(s), spirits, or otherwise.
Take your time. Not in a rush.
