Hi everyone!

In late January/early February of this year I began my spiritual journey out of agnosticism, and have begun reading various books on mediums, the afterlife, God, angels, ADCs, NDEs, and OBEs.

In what is personally a leap of faith, after discovering this site and other information, I have ordered the book and audio and video from Mr. Moen (I ordered it two days ago so I'm hoping I have it within a week or so) and I intend to take it quite seriously as I practice what he teaches.  My hope is that I can finally have an experience for myself (other than one that I believe came from God) to strengthen my budding beliefs in these wonderful areas.

One thing I have read from people on this board, from mediums, and I'm drawing a blank but I think someplace else as well, is the discussion of an individual's vibrations.  Or a spirit's/soul's vibrations.

I don't understand that concept yet, and I'm hoping some of you can help clear it up/spell it out for me.

When I see or hear the word, "vibration," I think of either a string that is vibrating, or perhaps an object or person shaking rapidly in a contained amount of space.

I've failed to make the connection between my concept of vibrations and the vibrations I keep seeing references to in having to do with our eternal essence/soul/consciousness/etc.

Do souls/spirits/consciousnesses literally vibrate?  I hear often that they allegedly have a "higher" vibration than we physical people do.  What does that really mean, exactly?

Do any of you have any first hand experiences with sensing the vibrations of someone else or someone on the other side?

Any and all information is appreciated very much!  Thanks!

I'm thrilled to have found an active forum on these topics so that I can finally ask questions to people who won't think I'm a fool for believing (skeptics/atheists) or some kind of heretic for not strictly conforming (conservative religious people).

Hi

I agree with all that Recoverer said.

Somone else once pointed out that when we first meet someone we often have 'a direct response' to them, either attraction or aversion. That would be an example of meeting some at your own or a higher rate (attraction) or someone at a lower rate (aversion.) That's in the physical  and  in non-physical realms.

Another way the word 'vibration' is used is for actual sensations that immediately precede going out of body, more like the musical string you mentionned.  When the subtle bodies are trying to loosen from the physical so that you can move into the afterlife, you may feel this for the first time and be startled enough that you jerk and cause it to stop. but you just have to get used to it.
Like driving over a bridge in the mid 1900's there was a vibration because the bridge floor was a grate. But you couldn't be startled because you knew you had to get to the other side! 

Bruce's way suggests using imagination as the doorway and not getting so involved in changing bodies.  I try to do it his way but sometimes the subtle bodies just want their freedom, apparently.

Hi Mark Andrew,

It's hard to know exactly because no one really knows where ou're at, vibrational level -wise  .  It's probably really none of our business.

I gave the example of driving over a bridge that has an open iron grate for its roadway. That vibration is really too slow to be exactly like a soul you would meet. Your example of a plucked string is good though. The finer /higher vibrations you will probably feel partly as magnetism. Finer higher vibrations come from love so there is nothing to fear from them.

If you are having some sort of fearful or extended vibrations or shaking, that might better be dealt with by a doctor.  ?
You are welcome to PM anyone here who's shown interest in this topic and ask them more specific questions.

I think I understand.  So when people say different spirits/souls/consciousness have different vibrations, they mean that in the same way you could alternatively say, "they have different radio frequencies."  Meaning of course they are not radio waves and of course you can't literally go get an AM/FM radio and find them, but it explains that there are different levels and that they don't all share the exact same "frequency".  Am I understanding that correctly?
