Talking To 'Passed' Love One, One Way Communication, Must We...

[chrismc3]

...first 'Summon' them in any way, or can they hear us just by talking normal, just as if they were in the same room ? (or in this case, in the NEXT room)

Also,,,Can we talk to them too much ? I find myself talking to my mother quite often, throughout the day, and often find myself repeating the same one way conversation over again, as I never know if she is listening or not, but in the event she is...maybe she wishes I would shut the hell up ?

My mother was my closest and dearest friend in this world, and the only one I felt I could really talk to, about anything.

I remember years ago I was laying down, watching a TV show I found interesting and she kept talking to me and I said something to her like..."Why do you have to keep Jabbering at me ?"....She started crying and explained..."Because YOU are the ONLY person I have to TALK to, I am here, alone all day, until you come home, and I get SO lonely !"

I felt bad and understood her immediately, now I REALLY know just exactly what she meant :-(

Anyway...My main question was in the first paragraph of this post, can we simply talk to them or must we 'Conjure Up' their spirit ?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can . But Carol and Mikey will explain you better for this question.

Last question first. You can't just 'summon up the dead'. That's a crock. You can't 'conjure up' their spirit. That's another crock. All that stuff comes from misunderstanding or ignorance of the facts.

Now the main question. "Can we simply talk to them?" The answer to that is "It depends". Can you speak to someone in this world who's not within earshot? Plainly not - you can speak but they wouldn't hear what you said. Extrapolate that to someone in the etheric dimension and the answer is much the same.

BUT by sending out your thoughts concerning the one you'd like to reach it can make them aware of your wish. And they may respond to that by drawing closer to you, tuning in as best they can to your thoughts and emotions. But there's no guarantee that those thoughts, ideas or words will be heard exactly as you'd like. And there's no guarantee they'll be able to transmit a recognisable reply. But sincere, loving thoughts can have a positive, emotional effect on the intended recipient who may respond in kind and which you may register.

Might your mother wish you'd shut up? It probably doesn't apply because she can simply switch off to what you're saying (if she's even switched on) whenever she chooses. And she may do just that if you're repeating the same old stuff! Did you, or she, listen to everything said by the other in your earth lives? Of course not and neither will you in the circumstances under consideration.

There's a lot of nonsense written about 'speaking to the dead'. A study of what's been taught about the difficulties would paint a more helpful picture.

Now Now Mac. Settle down. Mikey wants to give his 2 cents on this question. It is right down his alley!
First of all, I will say that each and every time I talk to Mikey, I call for him. I will say his name out loud. Is that "summoning him"? (The dead who are not really "dead"). I guess so! Mikey tells me they hear more than you think! The stronger the loving connection, the more the potential is for this. Do they hear our every word? No. But they do hear. It is that loving connection that draws them to the earth. We cannot shut off our love for them, and they do not shut off their love for us! The feeling is mutual. Your second to the last paragragh about "thought" is an important piece. Thought comes before we speak. Thought with words can be powerful in reaching a loved one. Mikey tells me this is how connections can be made with a medium. He says it is one of the more common ways.

I know Mikey thinks I talk too much! He tells me he listens to what is pertinent. He can tell by my emotions of what he feels when he needs to pay closer attention. Apparently he chuckles as a ramble on about something, but it makes me feel good to at least "think" he is listening! Some things never change! Ha ha!

Chris,
Mikey tells me that we should not worry about talking too much. It lets them know how much we still want to be a part of them. The loving connection lives on! They take in what is important to us by our thoughts and words. They draw close to us for important events in our lives, etc.
Apparently when we "ramble on" with nothing of significance, it is like "white noise" to them!!! Ha HA! Mikey humor!
Mikey says they love it when their loved ones continue to talk to them. Makes them feel good too!

The old Charlie Brown cartoons on TV had a great metaphor for that "white noise" of hearing parents or teachers talk too much -- they just played a sort of muted trombone sound. So all the grown-up talk was just that noise. When I had teenagers I often felt that when I spoke to them, all they were hearing was "wua wua wua." Probably now that they are 30, it still happens but they are more polite and better at pretending to pay attention.

And of course Mikey doesn't have to pretend to pay attention, I'm sure he just smiles at how some things never change.

Chris,
What a great question. I have been reading and researching about this for many months now, and I have heard so many times that those who have passed love it when we think about them, speak about them and speak to them. I have been, as I've posted numerous times, to various mediums - have not paid a penny, or paid a minimal amount, and received validation that what I said and what I thought WAS HEARD. It amazed me that my most private thoughts - what I told no one but my loved one - was heard by him and came through the medium.
People can say what they want and dismiss all they want, but what I have read and experienced is tremendously validating.
If anyone is deaf to what we say, it is often those on the earth realm who are too distracted - lol.
Those who have departed particularly enjoy it when we speak to them throughout the day, involving them in our daily lives, rather than thinking of them with sadness (I worried about that a lot).
The fact that your mother looked forward to you coming home, and that you understood what she meant, speaks volumes about your wonderful support for her and all the happiness you gave her. Your sensitivity really comes through. You were there for her when she needed you, when it mattered, taking care of her every need. You were a wonderful son, and now you're thinking about her and she is, I am sure, very happy to hear you.

Carol,
Thanks so much for this very helpful response! I can understand becoming white noise to them, as I tend to ramble, but as you say, they hear what is important, and I have seen this too many times to think it is anything but real that my thoughts and words were heard.

[cleodoggie]

I often wondered when I talked to my husband if he could hear me but all the signs have led me to believe he hears me. Whether he likes it or not I will continue to talk to him. If it's white noise to him he is probably laughing at me as he did in life when he always said Ha???? What did you say? It used to make me so mad. He was hard of hearing.

My wife passed away few months before our 25th wedding anniversary. This silver jubille was supposed to have been a great anniversary to celebrate. One month before I asked her from the bottom of my heart to be present to celebrate. every day I prayed God to allow her to visit. Few days before in dream she said that she will be there and then dream went further weired. I thought it was not a visit but just a dream. However, I kept praying and asking her to be there. On the anniversary day, I bought a cake with happy anniversary and lighted a candle, talked to her, prayed, cut a piece of cake and put in front of her picture. Of course I did not expect that cake will disappear, I ate it later.One month after, I was with one of the best medium and during the session this is what happened:
Medium: I do not know that what it means she is holding a lighted cake in the hand. She is just holding it. I have never seen like this" She says " just tell him what you see and say anniversary, he knows" I told him my gesture that how I celeberated the anniversary. He said that he never had this experienced before in 40 years and that is why she said "just tell him what you see."
I think that if one really with love and truly with concentration can try to talk then they do listen. it is like a prayer, sometimes we only recite Lord's prayer and think that we Prayed but when we are in pain and sorrowful, we do not recite, we cry and speak directly the words coming out of our heart.

Hi Mac

Are you saying that we therefore communicate by telepathy, whether they are in this world or the afterlife?
