Hi MV!

I am wondering how you differentiate between spirits that are from the light and those which are not?

In your studies of various religions, have you looked into Shamanism (even granting that Shamanism is a belief system, and not a religion)?

Haha... Spirits do not use human language, they speak with emotions. Which is kinda of an odd concept if you have never experienced it. I plan on filming a movie that is based on this concept, to help people better understand.

I don't. From my experience, no spirits are good or bad. They are all neutral. It is how we experience them that we try to define what they are.

Most definitely. I did some study with a local Lenape nation Shaman, as well as a cherokee shaman. I also studied some Shinto and Taoist (yes Taoist) shamanism from one of my martial arts masters. Plus I've read up on many other forms, Aboriginal, Romani, African, etc...

I find this very interesting. In my own dealings with spirits, usually the communication is with perceptions and thoughts and all of the senses, rather than just emotion (though emotion can certainly come through in those thoughts and emotions). I've tried to explain it as if one was watching a movie, except that each scene is complete, and it is usually more real than the physical world, if that makes sense. Have you ever experienced something like this?

What do you usually visualize when you are preparing to visit with the spirits? (Some people visualize a tunnel, etc.)

One can see them, perceive them, have the experience be like a dream or a thought, etc... But they don't "speak" like humans do. The meaning you get from the spirits, and thus their "communication" with us is through emotion. Basically, the emotion you have after the perception. Does that make sense?

Since half of my spirit is a low level spirit, I am constantly aware of, and working with the spirits. Unlike shamans who journey to visit the spirits, I am one of the spirits that shamans journey to visit. Does that make sense? So in effect, I don't need to visualize anything to prepare, I just have to be.

I believe so. So you are referring to our own emotions, rather than those of the spirits, if I'm understanding correctly, and I can understand that. I always 'feel' something, even if it isn't what I am getting from a particular spirit.



I wasn't really referring to gentle encounters. A shaman can make contact with the spirits around him at will. Rather, I was referring to journeying to much deeper levels, whether that is to contact spirits of the upper realm or those of the lower realm, or slightly different and using the way you put it, upper level or lower level spirits. (I believe I know what you mean by this, but some people could be confused by either terminology, since one isn't really "above" the other in the sense that most people think of it.)

Hi MV,

To communicate as you do, is there a ritualistic ceremony of sorts that you perform ?

Are you in a state of deep meditation ?

How long does it take before you have prepared yourself to receive these communications ?

Thanks...great interview

In a sense yes it is our own emotions. The problem however, is when people try to understand their emotions with previous bias (negative emotions equals evil spirit, etc...). But when trained, the correct understanding from the emotion can be derived.

Well actually in my experience, when shamans journey anywhere, the "distance" never changes. What I mean is... what is seen as the upper realm in shamanism isn't in a different place, or further away than the lower realm. Nor are they in a different place, or further away than the physical realm. It is more of a journey of the shamans "mind/perception" that takes place. My view of the spirit world is more of a chain of effect rather than different realms. Like the water cycle, the water in the ocean is in a different state than the water in the air. But it is still in this same "realm". Thus the spirits are the same... The high level spirits are in a different state than the low level spirits, and the low level spirits are in a different state than the physical spirits, but they are all in the same "realm". Does that makes sense? Therefore, I don't have to journey like shamans do to work with low level or high level spirits. However, if my mind is all a jumbled, meditation helps nicely in getting my mind focused and calm so I can better understand the emotional conversations.

Hey there!

No, like I said in the previous post, meditation will help my focus and understanding of the emotional conversation. But no ceremony.

I don't have to be, nor do I for the purpose of working with the spirits, but I do sometimes for my own benefit.

Just as long as it takes the mind to register any stimuli.

Your welcome, I am really enjoying this.

I also want to point out that I have successfully taught people how to communicate with the spirits, with no ceremony, no special powers, etc... It's all just a matter of being Vigilant, and understanding.
