Spiritual Duality
Some years ago a magazine article recounted the travels of an American woman who was driving through the English countryside and felt inexplicably drawn to a small side road away from her intended destination. Soon she came to a deserted old manor house (not Stanley’s). The woman was told by the caretaker the house was haunted by a ghost who looked very much like her. Walking around the grounds she felt an eerie connection to something. Presumably she was there to help release herself. The two portions of her soul could have been drawn to each other in the same mysterious way that two people living parallel lives with one soul might be if there was a compelling purpose.
In chapter 1, I touched upon the duality of souls and how they are able to divide their energy to live more than one life at a time. A portion of the energy of most souls never leaves the spirit world during their incarnations. I’ll discuss soul division further in the next chapter, but splitting soul energy is particularly relevant to the study of ghosts. In my last case, even though Elizabeth was in limbo for a while as a ghost, another part of her energy remained in the spirit world working on lessons and interacting with other souls. That other portion may also incarnate again and move on to a new life, which is what I believe happened with the woman who found the haunted house.
I disagree with some ghost authorities who state that ghostly forms only represent an earthly shell without a soul’s core of consciousness. There are life cycles when souls choose to take less energy than they should into a human body. However, even if they become ghosts, such souls are far more than an empty shell of energy. One would think that the balance of a ghost’s energy remaining in the spirit world ought to be more helpful to their disturbed alter ego still hanging around Earth. From what I hear, most immature souls who cross over are unable to perform this transfer and integration of energy by themselves. The following excerpt is a report I received from the soulmate of a ghost. This ghost is a young level I soul who was my subject’s first husband.
Case 15
Dr. N: You have told me that your first husband, Bob, was a ghost after his last life. Please explain the circumstances here.
S: Bob became a ghost because he was killed early in our marriage in that life.
He was so overcome with despair and concern for me he wouldn’t leave.
Dr. N: I see. Can you tell me approximately how much of his total energy he carried with him into that life?
S: (nods her head in assent) Bob had only about a quarter of his energy and it was not enough for him in this mental crisis . . . he misjudged . . . (stops)
Dr. N: Do you think that if Bob had taken more of his energy to allow for this contingency he might not have become a ghost?
S: Oh, I can’t answer that, but I think it would have made him stronger . . . more resistant to sorrow.
Dr. N: Then why did he take so little energy to Earth?
S: Well, because he wanted to be more engaged with his work in the spirit world.
Dr. N: I’m confused about why Bob’s guide didn’t just make him take more energy to Earth.
S: (shakes her head negatively) No, no! We are not pushed around that way. We are free to make our choices. And Bob didn’t have to become a ghost, you know. Bob was advised to take more but he is stubborn and he was also considering another life at the same time. (a parallel life)
Dr. N: Let me make sure I understand. Bob underestimated his capacity to function more normally in a crisis with a body having only 25 percent of his energy capacity?
S: (sadly) I’m afraid so.
Dr. N: Even though in death that body was gone?
S: It didn’t matter. The effects were still with him and he didn’t have enough strength to combat the circumstances.
Dr. N: How long did Bob stay a ghost before the rest of his energy was restored to him in the spirit world?
S: Not long, about thirty years. He couldn’t seem to help himself . . . lack of experience . . . part of his lesson . . . then our teacher was called by . . . you know . . . those beings who patrol Earth watching over the disturbed ones . .. to go get the rest of him to come home . . .
Dr. N: They have been called the Redeemers of Lost Souls by some people.
S: That’s a good name for them, only Bob’s soul wasn’t lost exactly, only tormented.
