I haven't ever said myself except in private conversation with another, things I've come across.

Because there's always those who just dismiss, ridicule and put down those having any experiences.

I'd guess if there are spirits, ghosts , whatever anyone wishes to term them, or anything from another existence.
Then they'll have their reasons for making anything known to any physical being they visit.

Equally their reasons for never going anywhere near any closed view sceptics.

Until I was 15, I may have discounted things people have said.
However as I said before, I've had things happen in my life, which have no real explanation to it.
So my mind was opened in my later teens.

Your post above Ammi sounds a very comforting set of instances of thought or who really knows, much more to them.
I would guess too, if I may, that maybe those thoughts and words fly in from you not even thinking of the person at the time.

I'll never forget after I lost my Grandmother I was devoted to.
I was talking to some friends while at Uni, I'd just done really well in a particular part of the course.
We were sitting in a park, I said, '' I wished my Grandmother could have been able to read how well I'd done ''.

An elderly lady walking past, just smiled at us, and said, '' now how do you know she hasn't and can't see all you'll achieve''.

It's a line that's stuck with me since.

Now the cynics and those who just poo poo anything of the supernatural, will just dismiss that as fanciful madness.

However that started to have me open my mind more.
Then as I say, privately I've come across things, I can't explain and neither can others, other than just dismiss or ridicule.
So I only talk about other instances privately.

So as not to fuel, dismissiveness and it's all nonsense, when to others, it isn't or may be far from it.

Even before I opened my own mind to this, while I doubted things people had said to me up to 15.
I still listened to them, rather than just treat them as paranoid or insecure individuals, just because I at that time I didn't myself share their views from their experiences.
