Dis-incarnate appears in a pet.

I was talking on the phone with a lady friend about her crossed over husband and asking if he ever visits her. She said no! And then, in a cautious, low voice, she, "I don't say this to others 'cos people will say that I'm losing my mind but, I sometimes feel that my late husband is here in the body of my pet back Labrador that I brought home shortly after my husband crossed over!" "He (the dog) often gets on my bed with me and when he snuggles up next to and embraces me, I get the feeling that it's my husband inside of the dog! It's so sweet!"
What ways do your crossed-over loved ones come visit you?

 

I see no indication in mac's post that he is either bothered or scared in response to the original post....he just gave his opinion regarding the anecdote provided, as is one of the purposes of posting. Actually I've never seen him "scared" of anything to do with the possibility of an afterlife or any other subject discussed on this forum -- he's been involved in "the spooks" (as he puts it ) for way too long for that, lol. He simply didn't happen to agree.

As for the woman in the anecdote, here's my opinion -- there's no way for any of us to know whether or not her husband visited her via her dog. She is really the only person who might possibly know that, and either way (whether her husband is visiting her via her dog or not) if it helps her and makes her feel better, then it can only be a good thing.

 

All of my experiences with my loved one have never felt like he was "in" their body but I can only speak for myself. I know they can "impress" upon other people, us, and animals. I have experienced on many occasions where he has done this. One time, early on, he had sent me a sensation and I was trying to think of how to describe it. I was talking to myself (in my head) and said "It feels like..". My daughter, out of nowhere, said "cold chills". I asked her why she said it and she had no idea why.

I also feel when he has used insects or animals to get my attention, it's him using his energy to do so. Sometimes he does things that give one the impression he is a puppeteer.

I know Roberta has mentioned some use remotes in some way but obviously I have no clue about that.

What I do know is it's amazing when they do it. I do love it and it always makes me smile.

 

I didn't cast a vote because they all don't count for me but I'll say here is what I get:

1-I can feel him tousle my hair or run his fingers through them.
2-I can feel the tingle as he touches the sides of my face and moves down along it.
3-Cold chills, cold chills, cold chills. Often on my rear-end which makes me laugh.
4-Waves of emotion and what I describe as a euphoric feeling. I'm uncertain what he's doing during that time to cause that but it's quite lovely along with the waves.
5-Sometimes, this isn't often, I'll turn a corner or stand up and feel his presence is very strong in me so much that I can "feel him". I say taste him but that sounds so weird but it's strong and it's an impression I believe but so different from when he unfolds images, etc to me.
6-I get ear pops, high pitch frequency in typically one ear, a deafening moment in my ear, and a pressure shift. It's very sudden and quite noticeable.
7-Songs, all the time. He will send me major cold chills or sometimes play 3 songs in a row that are special to me. I also love it when he drops in a song at large events or in places where the music isn't the norm for that station. I was in a large department store one time and he did that. It was funny because the song stopped as soon as someone realized it wasn't the norm and they changed it back to their normal music. He also did this at a large amusement park.
8-Multiple rainbows at times. All different directions and different places and within timeframes that are crazy. I'm always in awe of this.
9-Smells sometimes but not a primary.
10-Strong tingling in concentrated areas. It feels Ah-mazing.
11-Many more that no one but me cares about, lol. He's with me everyday. Just listed these for those who might need help identifying if what they are receiving are actual signs and/or presence. Left off the "heat wave" air, now that's amazing to see and makes you get your eyes checked.

I never have "imagings" though, not sure what that is but all of mine are never imagination.

 

I'm sorry that you've have some encounters that have been unpleasant for you. For me, I've found nothing but genuine help here. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I have no issues with that. The ignore list isn't quite my thing but I hope that it's helping you.

I'm sure you didn't intend it but when you say "my story" it came across as implying it's fictitious which is incorrect. I am quite aware that what I'm sharing seems bizarre. When I first came to this site and read some of the things people shared, I felt they were more than what my brain could handle, seemed unreal and impossible "for me". But he was reaching out to me and that I couldn't ignore.

Before I met him, I didn't believe in true love. Before he died, I believed in life after death with no research and most definitely not ever expecting this. What I have found to be a fact is that true love makes ALL things possible. It just takes work on both sides. He's here for my healing and works as one of my guides now.

I post these things to be of service, to help those who may be wondering. I loved when Carol posted the signs/encounters about Mikey that seemed impossible and how she felt. Her sharing that helped me tremendously. I could identify and it helped me to step into what was coming for me. It's not easy stuff for some people to process and I don't need approval or everyone to believe me. She stepped out and shared hers and I'm so grateful. Now I do the same when I feel it is right.

What I also love is that this part of my journey extends past just the two of us. He's helping me help people, we are helping people. He's got his life and I've got mine and then we have this part, our new life, our new norm. It's quite remarkable.

....and I'm happy to answer any questions anyone may have about anything I've written.

Have a wonderful day!

 

It doesn't seem "bizarre" to me from what little I know about the Afterlife and connections with Dis-incarnates. I see your share as both normal and believable.

I have the same attitude on sharing.

Have a wonderful day!

 

My bad, I meant "this story" and was thinking "my"

Thanks for clarifying and all the comments. I also treasure reading what you and others on here write about their knowledge and experiences.

 

jim,

I concluded that you were responding to mac's post because when you made your second post in this thread, in which you mentioned knowing that someone would be bothered and in which you cautioned not to be scared, mac was the only person who had posted other than you. Quite a logical conclusion.

You are, of course, free to believe that you know the woman's husband visited her via her pet dog. That does not mean that you actually know, however. I'm not sure why it matters to you in any case, though I can see why it would be important to the woman. There's no need for you to try to prove it to me or anyone else, regardless.

If you are really so bothered by my mild post as to feel the need to add me to your "ignore" list, you may certainly choose to do so.

 

I did notice that he ignored the rest of my post, quoting only the bit which appealed to him. Oh well.

 

Hello! It was late and I was tired. I didn't realize it would send the post via email if it exceeded the character limit. If you could please remove all of them and I'll create a new thread sometime this week.

 

I'm on my mobile phone so I'm uncertain if this will separate it out like you have it so I'm just lumping it altogether.

1-First, thank you! These afterlife matters can feel isolating. This forum, Roberta, you and many others remove that. I read so many sites and some just, for the lack of better words, were hogwash. I would read it and just know I needed to keep searching. I felt I was led to this site and a couple of other places. It's been instrumental for my spiritual journey and learning about the afterlife in general.
2-I have read the book you mentioned. I'm still amazed Carol was able to get all of that in the way she did using the pendulum. I had a hard time finding the video of it. I think it would be neat to repost that if you still have it. The book is an excellent read and I encourage others interested to buy it.
3-I am SO thankful you encourage validating who you are dealing with. I read that on here and took it to heart because who wants to deal with some troublemaker in the afterlife? Please don't stop sharing that. I'm grateful there are things in place to do that. Perhaps you could share a new thread on this focusing on ways to do it or what might be a "good" validation vs one that isn't?
4-I want to clarify that my helping is very very subtle. I've noticed that when I'm talking to someone, sometimes he will impress a topic for me to focus on. I'm often wondering why I'm talking so much about it to later find out it was exactly what they needed to hear and they are so grateful. I never mention afterlife in these situations. I tend to only reassure them to "listen" to what they feel. Often times they will say they already knew that. I do believe that's our guides. Not everyone's journey is the same as mine so I "drop" things in other times and step away. I find that I rarely truly share what I've experienced with my loved one because people, depending on their state, can't understand just yet but it does sorta plant a seed when I do. When I encounter grievers, I am very cautious. Often times while I'm listening and contemplating whether it's appropriate to assure them their loved one is not dead, he will send me cold chills or I will hear "it's okay". Now, does him giving me the okay mean they will be receptive? Not necessarily but also doesn't mean they won't be. What I have seen is that it appears to bring them peace. I don't do this all of the time, only when I "feel" it is correct. My guides and my loved one have never steered me wrong in this area. I never even tell the grievers much of anything. Few words are needed to try to comfort those grieving but the love is apparent and they welcome it.
5-We need the good mediums to stay around regardless. I hope they do. If that phone ever works, it will be amazing though, won't it? To hear my loved ones voice, I can't even fathom.

 

They are all removed now and we look forward to your new thread.
Have a wonderful day,
jim

 

Sorry to butt in here............

When I tell folks, who know or knew Irene, that she is "right here", they often give me a mystified look and then say things to indicate that they think she is just in my mind, imagination or "in spirit" but NOT actually present and right here with us at this moment. I try not to convince anyone that Irene actually is right here since I'm pretty sure that will terrify them. It's strange to know something that most others do not believe in and I can't be prove it to them so I am satisfied with "dropping seeds" which may or may not sprout some day. I've often told those on the brink of death about the Afterlife and Irene in case it can help them in their final moments.
Your posts are very powerful and inspiring so keep up the good work.
Have a wonderful day,
jim

 

Unexpected,

You said "Not everyone's journey is the same as mine", and mentioned that you are therefore cautious in mentioning the afterlife to others. I just want to say that in my opinion it is very important to acknowledge and understand that each person's journey through life, and especially as concerns spirituality and the afterlife, is unique to that person, and I am always heartened when people appreciate and respect that.

 

Thanks Mac!
1-I had read Carol was using it for that reason but didn't realize she was able rely more on telepathic conversation vs pendulum. Before those self-guided afterlife connections I could hear my love one too but it was hard to always trust it so I get it. I've basically used those connections to help me open up a more fluid-like conversation with him which I'm trying to trust more by using automatic typing on my computer. I've heard his actual voice and then sometimes I just have a knowing where it sorta flows in and now it's more fluid-like. Anyway, it's a work in progress.
2-Tested the video you posted in the Resources link and its working fine now. The prior link I tried was within the thread and would error out like a player incompatibility issue.
3-I wasn't clear on the validation part, I meant for people who might not understand what would serve as valid validation vs not. My initial contact was him reaching out to me. When I attempted to communicate with him using self-guided connections, I did validate once I got to the point where I felt I was actually communicating with him. He's with me so much that I didn't attempt to do it during my first couple of automatic writing attempts. Perhaps I should think about that. I feel like I "know" it's him at this point, been almost 2 years now.
4-Thanks for the encouragement! I could identify with trying to help when not prompted from the other side. I've made a mess of it too at times. Guess that's just part of the learning process. I can usually tell when it's me vs them pushing me to help but it takes a lot of being in the present moment and paying attention to know which is which, at least for me.
5-I agree with you, mediumship is "astoundingly moving, comforting, and persuasive." My only 2 readings where just that. I can only speak for me but the self-guided connections are amazing but I do like that I can go to a medium for validation if need be. I knew long before it was him but there were some things that came through that I wanted to hear from a medium. She did just that and it helped me to trust more of what I was receiving and move forward.

 

Thank you for sharing that Bluebird! I'm sincere when I say it and it's nice to know others get it too.

 

I've only told one friend about all of this. She's rather amazing so I was and wasn't shocked by her support. I'm glad she's been my friend for almost a quarter of a century. She knew I wasn't making it up. Outside of that, no one. I respect your efforts with those on their deathbed. It's such a vulnerable time and I've not had any conversations with anyone in those situations other than my loved one when his body was dying. Who knows what the future holds.

 

The other night, I was sitting here enjoying some porn videos when the light bulb above me EXPLODED! ....sending a shower of glass particles all over the keyboard, desk and carpet. My first reaction was shock that Irene would be so upset with me that she (or someone over there) would stoop to such a risky and dangerous action just to stop me from watching porn or shame me about it. My first reaction was to apologize to Irene for my "bad behavior" and then I began to think about Codependency and how bad and unhealthy it is to be a Codependent, like I've been for most of my life, so I courageously cleaned up the broken glass and went right on watching porn - with a flashlight!
In Codependency Recovery, it is very important to break the patterns of unhealthy dependency and find the courage to stand up for yourself and on your own two feet rather than DEPEND on others for your encouragement, strength, support, happiness, etc. Since I am not a porn addict, I see no harm in occasionally watching porn videos and I am definitely not going to allow someone or thing (from the Afterlife?) to threaten, bully or shame me about porn or any other thing over here. It would be very easy for me to believe that Irene or someone else is standing here, looking over my shoulder and "doing things" to me or around me to take control of my life so I am not going to become a frightened little animal who is Codependent on a Dis-incarnate for every little thing I do over here. This is one reason that i am reluctant to learn Medium-ship 'cos then I'd have Irene right here, all day long, every day, telling me what to do next and how to behave. We were almost that way when Irene was an Incarnate. So I took the bulb exploding event as just one of those things and went right on doing what I was doing without guilt or fear. I sure don't want to be a frightened victim of some Dis-incarnate who is judging and over-reacting to my behaviors. This is the only time a mysterious event has occurred here so I take it that neither Irene nor any other "Spirit" caused that bulb to explode above me but I guess that is possible.

Thank you but I've never actually expended any "efforts" with anyone on their deathbed other than Irene. I've told many about my Afterlife experiences and limited knowledge in case it could help them at the time they cross over but I suspect that most are very surprised when they finally do. It must be satisfying and dramatic to be a "deathbed" assistant or care-giver - especially if you know about the Afterlife.

 

You're very welcome.
