The spirit images I've seen in person didn't look anything like those photos. The images look more like photographic effects.

I've seen orbs, and they didn't look anything like the orbs people tend to display in photos. If orbs were really there, I figure a person could see them without looking at a photograph.

Those images are too physical in nature. When I've seen spirit images, I could tell that they came from another vibrational rate that has a different effect than physical imagery.

Well for one, the moving light image of March 28 is nothing more than a stretched out television screen. If a person clicks on the photo and increases its size, this is easy to see.

Hi and welcome on the board,

Losing someone who is close to us is never easy...  I don't have children, but I can imagine how painful it was. 

There is others way to receive messages from loved ones who left us.  They are more direct, profound and meaningful...  The retrievals process that Bruce describes in his books is an excellent one.   There is also good article on this site...

Stretch effect? Like in stretch our gullibility level?

If a spirit wanted to send messages, I figure it would find a way of doing so that doesn't match simple photographic tricks.

Thanks recoverer.

I tend to trust people until I find reason not to.  So far I have not found reason, although they could be simple editing software tricks, I suppose they can be real as well.  I'm no expert at examining photos, so I'm not too qualified to judge. 

So Guy, how do you connect these strange light distortions with your son?  Besides the fact that they happened after he died, of course.  But apparently the distortions began happening while he was still alive, because that first picture of him has the moon distortion.  So there must be another link.  Why is he communicating to you through these photos?  What is his purpose?

Ok, guys, keep an open mind.  It is difficult to make contact from spirit to the physical world - my favorite image was likening the contact to being separated by several feet of thick, frosted glass, and seeing vague shapes or images, and hearing distant muffled voices.  You can shout, if you want to, but then there's that thick frosted glass in your way.  Imagine how frustrating it would be if you were in spirit, but had that glass wall in your way, trying to be heard.

When a family begins to open their minds to contact with their son, they may use different approaches.  EVP (recording the white noise on a tape recorder, and playing it back after asking questions).  Photography to look for spirit images.......its all the same process.  Trying to make contact.  And whittling away at blocks in your mind so you will be able to make that contact. 

You see, for us, here we are in the physical world right now, and our consciousness is constrained by what Bruce Moen describes as the M-band noise, and our constricted awareness.  In order to break through, we must learn to relax, clear our minds.  Our belief systems have to be open to real contact.  We must break through hindering belief systems.

Whether the photos are physical proof of spiritual activity is not important.  What is important, is the belief that the photos help to generate.  In order to breakthrough limiting belief systems, the photos help, in a concrete way to feel that there is objective evidence for our connection to the spirit world.

This is the basis of profound belief.  The coupling of the physical (photos) to our knowledge of the spiritual.  The family's belief then makes all things possible.  It is like the magic spells of old.   The shaman would say "by drinking this water/potion, I will make my desired result come to pass."   Then, the liquid passing down his lips, would tie the shaman's intent to the physical world, thus making it seem more concrete, and accessing his subconscious even more deeply (the area of all of us that connects to the divine). 

So don't criticize the pics.  Dust on the lens can cause things to look like orbs, yes.  Movement may cause streaking of light - yes.  So what.  It starts the process.   Cements mind to the physical and then to spirit.  The photos just get things started.

I think the line on the difficulty of communication came from the article (book?) on cross-correspondences from Fredrick Meyers, where he compared communicating from the other side with

standing behind a sheet of frosted glass which blurs sight and deadens sound dictating feebly to a reluctant and somewhat obtuse secretary (

I've always loved that line.
