We are brought up to think of ghosts as being big, bad scary things but I don't think they are. I have felt "things" I can't describe while in or at certain really old places while living in Europe. They made me uncomfortable.<BR/><BR/>And, at a house my parents built in Gunnison, CO. There was something there. One night my Dad went into a kind of trance and it all came out. A family moving west that was starving and their baby girl died and then they themselves died on the piece of land that now this house was situated on. That house really had a strange vibe. And, nothing really ever went right for them while they lived there (less than one year). I think they could have used your recipe.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875008154587045790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-36662591986023714702008-10-31T19:23:00.000-04:002008-10-31T19:23:00.000-04:00Ghosts are dead people who are stuck, can't move o...Ghosts are dead people who are stuck, can't move on to the place of renewal and healing, but they're dead so they can't continue living their lives either.<BR/><BR/>Often they are people who had unfinished business in their lives, or who had trouble letting go when their time came. Or, in the case of dead soldiers, their deaths were so premature, and so traumatic, they kind of went into shock.<BR/><BR/>The beloved dead, who I refer to as ancestors, are much different. Somehow they are able to check in with us when we need them most, yet they aren't stuck in that delusional way that ghosts are.<BR/><BR/>Then there are spirit guides and other kinds of spirits, too ...<BR/><BR/>Lettuce your mother is checking in to make sure you're OK.
