Blooming Psycho’s New Strange World Today

I do not in fact think that this is a real ghost image but there are some on the site that could be.

Well what the hell do ya know. A post about something paranormal on a blog that is labeled paranormal. I would change the label on my blog to “mixed bag” if I knew how because it’s rare that I write about the paranormal these days. If I’m too tired (which I usually am) I simply can’t get in touch with the “other side” very well. However, I have been a bit and this post includes the thoughts of my book’s co-author .

A problem that ghosts (Earthbound spirits) encounter is people thinking that they can see the future. They can’t. They can sometimes see a broader perspective on a situation but that is all. When I do readings, it is very rare for one of my Earthbound spirit friends to interject. The readings that I do are done in a light trance state and the perspectives I receive are from my own subconscious or superconscious. They are not from my spectral acquaintances.

One thing that all of my spectral friends encounter is people whom they did not know in life asking them questions about the querent’s own future or personal life. These guys (and gals) really do not know anything about the personal lives of anyone that they did not know in life. Occasionally there is something glaringly obvious that they can spot but for the most part the feeling I get from them when I ask personal questions on behalf of someone that they didn’t know is “how am I supposed to know that?”

This statement is from my co author:

“Croaking does not make you omniscient. Nor omnipotent. One does not become some sort of demi-god upon their death. The answer to any question that you may postulate to me about your life will likely be ‘I don’t know.’ Because I did not know you. Even if I did know you, I may not know. Second thing. There is a margin for error in communicating through a living person. The medium may not be able to perceive what I am trying to impart.

You are wondering if your boyfriend is an ass. I say boyfriend because most such questions come from straight females. You know, truth be told, if you feel that he is, he probably is. You don’t need me to tell it to you.

Also the greatest advice I can give to living people is stop worrying so god damn much about the fucking minutia in your life. Who gives a shit if the outfit you have is the latest or so cool or what have you. And how the hell am I supposed to know if it is the latest thing? I would not have known that when I was alive! Fuck if I care now.

Another thing I would like to clear up here and now at this moment is the idiot statement that I took my own life because I could not abide ‘trendy’ people. THIS IS PATENTLY STUPID! This is not the reason and nobody would take their life for such an idiot reason. If you keep thinking this I may have to assume that you are lacking in any sort of brain, even a stem, and that a zombie pursuing you for sustenance would starve to un-death. In life I was somewhat very fucked in the head but I was not an idiot though I did at times accuse myself of such. I did not like myself very well at all. There was great darkness and sorrow upon my life and soul. I could no longer bear the pain of the thoughts and feelings that crushed my heart each day. The truth is, I did wish to be happy. Everyone does. I knew I never could. The despair and inner torture becomes too much. Fuck if I would kill myself for other people’s fashion. I would prefer to stick around and piss them off by making fun of it. You all look like idiots. There. Now let us have no further of this.”

Well–I do think that pretty well sums it up. Don’t ever dare this spirit to take the piss. You’ll lose.

However, there is one thing that both he and I regret regarding how we went about with the writing and distribution of the book, and there is nothing that we can do about it. And I do feel responsible.

His working on the book with me came about by accident. I had gotten in touch with him in the summer of 2005. To be honest, I had never heard of him before this. I felt deeply for the pain he had endured in life and invited him to talk to me if he wanted to. What he liked about me was the fact that I was not looking for him to act as some sort of malevolent genie on my behalf or for him to teach me “black magic” (his thought on this is “I repeat, I really did not know that much.”)

I was not looking for him to become my “lover” (he states “big fucking molecular discrepancy. What do you women that want this think you would feel? I would go right through you. And what is it about you young ones who are young enough to be my daughter? Why do you want to be having a go with some old bastard? Surely all of you could find someone far better suited. Alive, at the least. And no, I really do not find necrophilia erotic.”)

I was not looking to “send him to the light.” I am not the first person with mediumistic tendencies that he tried to talk to. But all the others tried to “send him to the light.” He has news for them.

“You know what happens to earthbound ghosts that you do this with? They simply leave. If they had accomplish what they need to not still be bound to this sphere, they would already have gone. With human spirits, you need not bother yourself to go through some ceremony to send us to the light. Most of the time you just ask us to leave, we will leave. That is what we do anyway.

A spirit is earthbound because it still has something to fulfill. Some medium telling us we really don’t have to do this any more because we are dead does not stop us from feeling we have to do it. And get this: WE KNOW WE’RE DEAD!!!! Adult spirits anyway always know they are dead. It does not take too long to figure it out. It was much fuckery in the case of this soul, as it is one divided (a bit more united now but still specific alter egos exist) and it was one personality which did in the body while the rest is out to lunch. But we did not lurk around thinking we can revive this mess for very long. Nor did we stay around that place. Well, I do not wish very much to relive this but only to let you all know. You do not send me or any other Earthbound ghost to the light, only away from you. We transcend only when we feel ready, not when you feel we should be.”

It is really my fault that we’re in this mess because I wanted to give my esteemed new friend a cameo role as one of the spirits in my story. He started giving me suggestions after this and the more accepting I was, the more suggestions he had. But at this point we really wish that we had hidden his identity. His hope was to be able to make people understand a little more about what he was really like inside his heart and soul, and he wanted to make up in some small way for the pain he had caused certain people and to hopefully show those considering suicide that killing yourself will not end your pain, it will only create new problems. However, by revealing his actual identity, we only opened a can of worms. Now people are always wanting for him to answer specific questions or for me to form connections between him and themselves. I can’t do this and he really can’t be strongly connected to multiple people. It is draining for him to do so.

I once had a very strong connection with this spirit but because of the demands on both of our energies at this point, the connection has become weak. He has pulled away from the Earth sphere although his mission has not been accomplished. He is deeply discouraged because he feels it never will be and I’m not sure but what he isn’t right. I have been very depressed lately too so I can’t offer him much hope in this area. I am sorry that I let him down and sorry that I was so excited about working with him initially that I did not have the foresight to hide his identity.

We’re not sure where to go from here with this. I think that there may be few enough people having read the original book that I can pull production of it and sell no more copies. Having done this, I can release a revised edition, changing the names of any real spirits that I have had the pleasure of meeting who were included in the book and re-release it, and thence continue the series using the pseudonyms. In some ways this seems a lie, but in other ways it might allow us to be free to write what we like and we might be able to feel a renewal of purpose. Because at this point we feel pretty hopeless and stagnated when it comes to our project as things currently stand.
