Members brynel Posted January 14, 2019 Members Report Posted January 14, 2019 Automatic writing is just like getting a medium to contact a deceased loved one, the only difference being the medium writes the messages relayed to him as though guided by a higher power. I too am seeking closure and have contacted such a person and may meet him next month. I believe some of u may have contacted a medium and got some answers. The only hitch is some people tell me this goes against the Bible and against God and the messages do not come from our loved ones but some demonic entity. I want to hear ur thoughts on this. Im desperate to hear from my husband as to where he is now, if he is fine or not, if he can hear me or not. Sent from my vivo 1802 using Tapatalk
Members Pmarie Posted January 14, 2019 Members Report Posted January 14, 2019 I, personally, do not think it is evil, but I think it’s deceptive. Likely the medium has good intentions and believes in what she/he does, but science has pretty much proven we cannot contact our departed loved ones this way. We are all so desperate for contact, willing to try anything, but perhaps the best thing is just to talk aloud to their memory. My loss has turned me into a weeping child with a huge need to pretend, but I personally don’t think automatic writing (or anything of that order) brings them any closer. You’re loved one is now a memory inside of YOU, they have become a very part of you. This will be forever. No need to look outside of yourself for them any longer. They are in you. If you’re related, they are even right in your DNA. Speaking to their Memory and living by their values may bring more peace. My condolences and I don’t blame you for trying, it’s harder than hell to long for a voice that is suddenly so silent. I’m going through the agony of that myself. Nearly unbearable.

That is what I have been taught and the only thing that has held me back from trying it. A friend of mine just consulted with a medium. I don't know what to think about it all so I'll let some others do the answering here. It has been hard to "wait" until I get to be with him again, but I proceed on faith, the same way our relationship began, only then it was waiting a week, now it's the rest of my life...it's been 13 1/2 years so far.
Members SSC Posted January 14, 2019 Members Report Posted January 14, 2019 I briefly thought of seeing a medium so I looked it up on the internet... in reality we can do the same thing ourselves. We need to be open to receive communication from our loved one and that can be difficult when we are blinded by our intense grief. I personally would rather receive a “sign” from my husband and KNOW it was real because it happened to me. It is real. It’s The little things We can’t discredit. This is how I believe they communicate to us. But this is how I feel. Others I’m sure feel differently. I also believe the more information you have, the better decisions and conclusions you make. I want to know my husband is okay. One book I read is “Evidence of the Afterlife”. It gave me such peace. It also put my frame of mind in a different place. I’m trying to be more proactive, finding ways to continue my relationship with my husband. It may not be the way I had planned for 3 months ago, but it’s all I have at this point. It’s better than nothing.
Members brynel Posted January 15, 2019 Author Members Report Posted January 15, 2019 I had an online reading yday, and the lady was almost 90% accurate. This morning is the first when i didnt cry bitterly. It has brought some relief to my tired soul.Sent from my vivo 1802 using Tapatalk
Members Spengler Posted January 15, 2019 Members Report Posted January 15, 2019 I see two possibilities. 1) It is a blatant fraud, or ... 2) It is possible to contact the departed through mediums, automatic writing, Ouija boards, etc. I find this possibility to be even more disturbing than the first. It strikes me as being spooky, uncanny, and somehow just plain wrong. Some things that are mysteries should perhaps remain mysteries. There is a reason that there is an absolute barrier, a chasm between the living and the dead, and we violate it at our peril.

Members Pmarie Posted January 15, 2019 Members Report Posted January 15, 2019 Hello Brynel, that’s very interesting the reading was 90 percent accurate, and I’m curious to know how specific it was. Do you feel it was generalized, or that you were subconsciously feeding her information? There is something called a “cold reading,” meaning the psychic or medium gives out general info that could pertain to many, ask lots of questions to get a feel for the answers, or changes her/his incorrect answers to something else that’s close. This may even be done subconsciously. I have much past experience in this. I’m not trying to devalue your experience by any means (because anything to get through this pure agony I think is a relief, and we all do it, in many different ways). I’m just curious what you mean by being 90 percent accurate.
Members brynel Posted January 16, 2019 Author Members Report Posted January 16, 2019 @Pmarie i didnt give her any info at all. Infact at the beginning i didnt even mention who i was looking for. She told me specifics like a trip that we took by the ocean recently - he remembers that..and also that he knows im worried about the house loans..and he would help me..i only told her we have a daughter. Thats all. She mentioned him saying that he still gazes at her in her bed like he used to do lovingly on his return frm work. I found that so accurate especially since i wasnt even in front of her and she cudnt read my body language. She said lots more abt him and that gave me a bit of relief u know.

Members Pmarie Posted January 16, 2019 Members Report Posted January 16, 2019 I’m glad this brought you relief and that’s all that matters. I never looked upon such things as being wrong, I’m just speaking from my own personal experience. That was interesting, thanks for sharing. Some of us pray, some of us talk to their vanished presence, some of us look for signs, while others write or journal, we are all the same in our quest and desperate aloneness. We’re all in some way only searching for answers. I wish you continual healing.
Members brynel Posted January 16, 2019 Author Members Report Posted January 16, 2019 Pmarie thank u for ur understanding. Its so heartening to see that u r so non judgmental. Thank u for being the wonderful person u r. This is not something that i need to indulge in everyday. I did it once just to get some indication that he is well and i got it..and its enough..at least i can breathe a little more freely now..Sent from my vivo 1802 using Tapatalk
Members Pmarie Posted January 16, 2019 Members Report Posted January 16, 2019 That was nice of you to say. You did absolutely nothing wrong to be judged by. Love is pure in all things that it does. Whatever is done out of love is sacred.
Members brynel Posted January 16, 2019 Author Members Report Posted January 16, 2019 Whatever is done out of love is sacred.So beautifully said...im going to put this as a quote on my desk....Sent from my vivo 1802 using Tapatalk

Members Glolilly Posted January 16, 2019 Members Report Posted January 16, 2019 I too am glad that you found 56 minutes ago, brynel said: i can breathe a little more freely now. I, too am glad that whatever you decided to do for this pain, got you some relief. Like Pmarie said it so perfectly that we all do different things to give ourselves a little help. I keep buying widow books in hope that one will speak directly to my heart and soul to help me breathe easier as well.
Members brynel Posted January 16, 2019 Author Members Report Posted January 16, 2019 @Glolilly..i too have been trying to catch up on my reading. Ive read Proof of Heaven by Dr.Eben Alexander, An angel by my side by Jackie Newcomb and currently im on We dont die by Joel Martin Sent from my vivo 1802 using Tapatalk
Members SSC Posted January 16, 2019 Members Report Posted January 16, 2019 I am an avid reader, always have been. I find reading about the afterlife very comforting. It helps me to know that my husband is doing well, that he is happy and watching over me. I know for some this isn’t their belief. Before my husband passed away I didn’t know if there was anything after we die. I was raised in a religious home and continued that belief into my marriage for a while. The last 10 years or so, meh...just didn’t feel anything toward it. When something as traumatic as losing my husband happened, I really had to search my soul. Our life together was very meaningful. No way can I believe that our love died with him. I know it continues. Science tells us matter cannot be created nor destroyed. Put those two together and I know my husband lives on. I find learning and reading about it helps me to know that he is okay. That has always been my biggest concern.
Members brynel Posted January 22, 2019 Author Members Report Posted January 22, 2019 I simply have to share this. Those who have read my post will remember i had consulted a medium online a week ago. Among other things (without giving her any info) she told me that my husband knows im worried about the home loans and coming Monday onwards they will all be sorted and i will receive a big sum of money which will secure our future. ( i had broken down badly at the grave asking him to help me sort finances) Well to begin with, my home loan petition got sanctioned just 1 day after the reading so i dont need to pay anything there and this afternoon i get a message from my husbands workplace saying this big sum has been credited to my account because of an insurance policy that the organization takes for its employees in the senior level position. The medium mentioned monday onwards. Today is a tuesday - india time. I couldnt believe what i was seeing and i wept like a child. He is reaching me, helping me, solving all my woes even without being physically present! What greater miracle can be. I am overwhelmed, speechless. Love never dies..it just cannot..and i have just been given proof of it. Sent from my vivo 1802 using Tapatalk
Members SSC Posted January 22, 2019 Members Report Posted January 22, 2019 @brynel thank you for sharing your story! I 100% believe this is all your husband’s doing. He loves you and is taking care of you the best he can. Love does transcend. I’m so happy for you, the comfort it brings to know he is still with you. It does my heart good as well. By day will be a little brighter from hearing your lovely story ❤️
Members brynel Posted January 22, 2019 Author Members Report Posted January 22, 2019 @SSC Your sweet message made me smile. Its a blessing that i can share my tears and my little joys with kind people like you across the miles. Xoxo.[emoji255]Sent from my vivo 1802 using Tapatalk
Members Pim Posted January 23, 2019 Members Report Posted January 23, 2019 Dear brynel, reading all this, I am so glad that some of your problems where solved and that you got so much out of this experience with a medium. I am rather an "exact" person myself and skeptical about these things. On the other hand, hard science cannot give the answers to every question either. Although there are now some very interesting hypotheses about how everything fits together in the universe. There is an excellent YouTube video called "What Is Reality" by Quantum Gravity Research about this. It even states that the universe is conscious. Wouldn't it be great if our beloved's consciousness has joined this all encompassing consciousness? Unfortunately my experience with a medium was not so good. In hindsight, that was definitely a case of "cold reading". I place much more trust in the signs which Rob sent me shortly after his passing. There were quite powerful. Or was it my own frame of my mind wanting to experience these signs? I don't know. What strikes me is that most signs came in the first months after Rob's death. Now, they are uncommon. Or I am not that receptive anymore... But I do hope that our beloved ones are somewhere, in a better place, watching over us. Love, Pim
Members brynel Posted January 23, 2019 Author Members Report Posted January 23, 2019 Dear Pim, I liked what u spoke about our beloved's consciousness merging into that of the universe. How beautiful it sounds. It's like their love enveloping us in a big hug. I sincerely believe Rob will never leave your side. Love is definitely the strongest force in the universe, and it's this love that will enable us to tread on this path of thorns. Sent from my vivo 1802 using Tapatalk
