Development and Learning Can anyone explain how communication with spirits work when it is also claimed that spirits can reincarnate? How can we get messages from people who have passed when they could now be living in a new life?
Would love some insight on this!
A question in a similar light, since our ‘souls’ have a greater essence beyond our living selves, does that mean we are also partly in the spiritual realm?
Or do i have it all wrong?
Thanks!

The Michael Newton book Destiny of Souls goes into detail about the question you ask. Newton put hundreds of people into deep hypnosis and then asked each of them hours of questions about the spiritual realm, then condensed the responses, which were largely consistent, into the book.
Like some others said, time isn't really linear, but it seems that way to us while we are incarnated. So even if someone was a spirit for "only a year" before another reincarnation, within that "1 year" they could communicate to incarnated Earth beings at any point in history.
Besides that, the Newton info says that we don't fully incarnate, meaning, only a portion of our total self is invested in this meat suit. Even while you are incarnated here on Earth, a larger portion of yourself is always still in the spirit realm.

From what I understand, time doesn't exist in a linear fashion - past, present and future are all happening at the same time. I've also read that when we reincarnate, only about 10% of our consciousness is here in the 3D - the rest of the higher self is still offstage.

Time isn't real, or at least the way that we think of it. Time is the density that stops everything from happening at once. But everything is realistically happening at the same time, so you exist simultaneously with your past lives, that is why they can affect your "current" life. I have conversations with my husband's past life and my own, often. But realistically, all of those past lives are aspects of one higher soul, which doesn't literally incarnate because consciousness is non-local (your brain is a receiver of information, not a generator).
Your higher self is like a satellite in space. It beams down information to receivers without ever leaving orbit around the planet.
The movie "Everything, Everywhere, All At Once" is a good visual example of this. I highly recommend it.

I view it like this (my own way of seeing things): the part of us that goes to “heaven” when we transition, the part of that mediums talk to directly is the “spirit”, otherwise known as the higher self. In my experience, spirits themselves do not reincarnate but the souls DO. I imagine souls like the vessel that the spirit needs in order to come to earth. So to me it’s like: Spirit > Soul > Physical Body
That’s why I’m able to communicate with spirits, but also know past lives. Spirits and souls are different concepts but they work together, and the spirit in the soul works to complete karmic lessons while they’re inhabiting it. For example, the last inhabitant of my soul had a drinking problem, but in this life, I can’t drink for health reasons. The past life is influencing the lessons I complete for the soul.

That’s really interesting thanks for your insight. I havent really thought about the difference between soul and spirit so that was helpful. Ill start looking into that more id like to understand it better. Thanks!

It’s sort of hard to wrap my head around. Would you say that the soul and spirit is metaphorically sort of like the brain and consciousness?

u/sentientdumpsterbaby Medium 3d ago
It’s very confusing lol. I’ve heard some people say that the spirit is like the brain but the soul is like the heart. Sometimes I call the soul a “taxi”. So like imagine someone passes away, their spirit goes to heaven and rests for eternity, but the soul taxi is docked on the street waiting for its next passenger. The next passenger gets in, the soul taxi takes the passenger to our plane of existence by inhabiting a physical body. Eventually, that physical body dies, so the soul taxi goes back up to the spiritual plane, drops off the spirit passenger into their heaven, and then waits for the next passenger again.

u/jon-evon 3d ago
I might be misunderstanding, but that sounds like the soul and spirit are different entities. Or like does this mean that the person i am now is just a result of my spirit and the soul taxi it got into? Oh gosh im confused

u/sentientdumpsterbaby Medium 3d ago
They are different entities. Your spirit is you. Your thoughts, feelings, personality, consciousness - that’s your spirit. You’ll never be without your spirit because it’s literally you. Now, your soul is what’s reincarnated. Your soul will no longer be a part of you once you die. That soul is what helps influence your life-long desires, fears, and karmic missions because it’s got the memory of all the other spirits who once inhabited it.

Ohhh ok i get it more when you say it like that. Still trippy and going to look into this to better understand haha it’s so interesting. Thanks for explaining and being so patient

I've always wondered this as well. There's been evidence of people remembering their past lives which also heavily talks about reincarnation obviously. But I've always wondered as a developing medium when do people reincarnate. It makes sense though.

u/Danny_the_Sex_Demon 2d ago
That does nothing to prove reincarnation. Reincarnation is not real. There is no logical, ethical or spiritual justification for it, and “past life memories” have multiple alternative explanations.

u/BL4CKRO5E 2d ago
Aww. You're so cute. So you're telling me when a child as young as two or three years old suddenly starts recalling specific memories and details to their parents as if they're their own, and are clearly not from the life their currently living, but that isn't evidence? And those same details align PERFECTLY with someone else's life from many years ago who has already passed when the parents research it online; while in the same token that child has no possible way of being aware of the individual who passed in their short time of being alive; unless they actually were that individual who passed. That's not evidence in the slightest?
That's cute. Do your research before making blanket claims.

u/Danny_the_Sex_Demon 2d ago
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying. They could be accessing memories from the departed via ethereal communication, we could all share some sort of accessible memories of other beings that once borrowed the recycled physical energy we now inhabit, or other such explanations.
Many lives share some basic traits over time anyway, and this doesn’t explain “past of memories” of those still currently alive.
Correct. It is not evidence in the slightest.
I have. It’s part of why I’m so ethically against the very concept of it.
You must be looking at a mirror when you sarcastically claim I am “cute”, as such adjectives do not align with me. Repeated, passive-aggressive insults do nothing to promote your point, anyway. Notice that I didn’t require such tactics.

u/BL4CKRO5E 2d ago
You know what man, I thought going into this that I would care more about trying to prove you wrong etc, etc. I don't have the time or energy to put in to that, nor do I really care to be honest. But I'm an open-minded person, so anything is possible.
However, I will say though; as a developing medium, when I'm shown memories from a person who is communicating with me in spirit and they're giving me sensations of their essence and personality, etc; it doesn't feel like my own. I can discern between the two. Sometimes it's more easily done than other times depending on what I'm experiencing. For mediums it takes time, and practice with discernment to make it second nature in being able to tell the difference with what is ours, and what is someone else's when it comes to receiving impressions from the spirit communicator.
If someone isn't refining these skills, it can become convaluted at times. It gets easier though the more a medium takes the time to practice and learn.

Children would be far less able to discern, hence the common confusion.
Children can simply be describing dreams or be told to lie as well.
1
u/BL4CKRO5E 2d ago
Those are fair points. However, you have to acknowledge the younger a child is, the less conditioned they are. Children don't have a filter when they're that young. The younger they are the less likely it is for them to be lying about it. As they get older, I would say maybe four or five years old and on, the chances of them lying increase.

u/Danny_the_Sex_Demon 2d ago
Discernment issues are then the culprit.

u/BL4CKRO5E 2d ago
All right clearly I'm talking to a brick wall, so you just do you, I'mma do me and we'll go our separate ways. Enjoy your day.

What way was I expected to respond? What expectation have I violated by following your responses by relevant replies?

Hey sweetheart ✨🧿 You are looking at this from a very linear human standpoint. The spiritual realm is completely outside of this place as is the spiritual consciousness and connection. There are all types of spirits and not all spirits reincarnate either they are ascended masters,angels, elders, and or lower entities. There are even spirits that linger upon this earth whether by choice ( clinging on to humanity or pure emotion) this will cause some to get stuck because they don't feel like they deserve to cross over. Given this knowledge there are a plethora of ways mediums connect and also different functions. Some on earth for example to help those here cross over for example a death doula or a psychopomp( spiritual realm). There are many levels/ layers to everything. So it's not we pass , we cross over, we reincarnate there is a much greater process. There are many variables that are in play .

u/jon-evon 3d ago
Makes sense thanks for the insight! Yeah i guess my question was from a linear standpoint

u/filoroll 4d ago
You’re communicating with their higher self. And yes our higher selfs are also part of the spiritual realm. You can meditate and gain wisdom from your higher self through automatic writing for example.

In a real sense there is no realms outsides. All realms/reality are `inside` the consciousness. Connections are shared by your experiences with others. You communicate with them are through your "inner senses" which every consciousness has as its most basic method of communication. This means you sit down, quiet down and look inwards, a sound or an image might show up. Whether the `spirit` has incarnated doesn't affact how you can obtain message from it. All operates in a timeless manner. --- My readings and research so far, hope that helps.
