I know John (my late husband) will be around for a while, then seem to wander off, and then show back up again like gangbusters (I think he thinks he's in trouble for disappearing...  )

I don't know a universal method of communicating - others here know far more than I do about that, but I know that even after they seem to be gone, they often reappear.  Time being wonky over there probably doesn't help...

Hello  kthorse

Try to read this article By Bruce:

http://www.afterlife-knowledge.com/contact.html

"It turns out that imagination is the gateway to realms of the spirit" this words by Bets, are 100% correct , try to make contact, ask questions, wait for answers, and you will see!

well Snoopydoo, you're right about one thing; most of us do not agree with you. and the fact that you are here, have come to a board entitled Afterlife Conversation shows that you wish perhaps to find evidence that there is an afterlife.

that means your mind is not entirely closed down to the possibility that there is. good. as well, although I'm huffing in the wind here to you, still, it would help to suggest, maybe to others here, a closed mind is not able to recieve anything but what it wishes to see. an open mind will be much easier for spirit to communicate with. but of course you are not knowing what I mean by spirit either. we can just call spirit to be, something larger, more loving, more all knowing than our respective egos with tunnel vision. and I include myself to have tunnel vision but working on it.

The nonphysical folks in this other dimension have great difficulty getting through to their loved ones although this is practically their only activity to do so. They must often resort to such things as butterflies, picture moving, slipping into your dreams when the mind is relaxed, all sorts of ways that your mother may have tried without success, all this because she surely loves you..all mothers love their kids.

when I lost my husband, at first I flipped out in anger. this is a natural phrase to go thru. I asked myself how he could leave me if he really loved me, and with his kids, all alone. I had to work through the anger which is a hurting thing behind it. I had to forgive him for taking an early leave of absence from us. I knew there was an afterlife. We soon established communication. but even with the communication there, it takes a awhile to get through the feeling of being wronged, as they left, and without a goodbye even.
I suspect you are feeling this anger towards your mom and that you love her so much, that's why you feel it and how you deal with it, is to say "well, there's no afterlife, so live for today and don't suffer about the fact that this is all there is, what you see is what you get." Don't cry you say to yourself.

but it's ok to cry, it's ok to have hope to see them again. It's ok to continue to search and be open to the possibility that you could be wrong, and if you are, that's when you might find your own evidence.

Love life, love yourself as hard as you can, because it's for sure, you won't be this particular person ever again, so appreciate yourself and don't close down. ask for a sign. you can get what you ask for, I know, I do it all the time.

to add to Blinks thoughts, Katrina, you could be signaling to your daughter you want another communication and she may be involved in her own intense self discovery, some project she is unable to communicate "on call."  it doesn't mean she has forgotten you.

I'd say a little talk, like sending a little PUL (love) to her might yield up another communication, something like, "if you ever want to get in touch with me and have the time, I'm always available." I send my love.

just something simple like that will sometimes work. they are able to recieve our thoughts and feelings. hang in!

This is the way i contact people in the spirit world.I lay in bed and i imagion that the spirit world is on the other side of the wall.than i perject my mind on the outside of the wall.After that I ask for a guide to take me to the person I am looking for.you must be still an lisson to that voice,it is like a thought,when you hear it you can use your thoughts to say hello to your daughter.you will pick up her thoughts.Good luck George

Hello

Same here, the time is between 4 to 6 months, in that period of time they can communicate mostly in "dreams", Meanwhile you can contact them by the method that explain George Stone, and Bruce.

Good luck

Hi Snoopydoo;


in investigations that I made with friends mediums and books I've read, I have always heard that they need "Time for Adaptation" is the time where the soul needs to adapt to their new status ain a "new dimension" and they need to "learn" to communicate with us, the change from this dimension to another dimension, it is NOT a easy thing, as some people say, especially when the person unknown on these issues, as happens with the 99% of the society.

in my personal case I could only have contact my with  my grandfather, five months after his death, only after this time he could come in a dream and was able to "SHOW ME" (NO SPEAK) certain things that only he know, and he also show to me a new car that he had in the afterlife (later I confirm with my father because, only my father know that this is the kind of car that my grandfather liked), the afterlife is the land "where all your wishes are fulfilled" because the afterlife it is a world of "thoughts",
But only after this time, they can communicate because they don’t' know how to do, and they need to adapt to this new dimension and learn.


Note:
The late scientific F.W.H. Myers (1843–1901) famous for "the cross correspondences" from the afterlife define communication between worlds as "..... The nearest simile I can find to express the difficulty of sending a message is that I appear to be standing behind a sheet of frosted glass, which blurs sight and deadens sound, dicatating feebly to a reluctant and somewhat obtuse secretary. A feeling of terrible impotence burdens me. Oh it is a dark road......."
(the obtuse secretary is the famous medium Geraldine Cummins)
