I was just wondering why some homes are filled with spirits and some are not? Why some countries report so much more activity than others.
For example, when I lived in Indonesia, every student i had in my classes had many stories of visits or hauntings. As did the other teachers, me included. But when I lived in Greece, nobody had anything to report.
I've lived in apts, houses where I knew I was not alone, felt something, but where I live now, in this house-nothing...
My spiritual teacher in Indonesia told me he saw spirits EVERYWHERE, just chillin' on the rooftop across the street, waiting by the pik-nik table....

Does our sensitivity change with space and time or is there empty space?

I think its more to do with your life style
If you take time to sit and take note
You will see what is around you
If you are in a rush and always busy
Then you will see and hear nothing
If you take the time to relax
Then everything will come to you

I think it is also a cultural thing as well. I know most cultures have their beliefs of spirits but some have more than others. Also, it seems that countries that are more westernised believe less in spirits. I worked with a man from nepal who was telling me that the 10th floor in the building we were working in was haunted. He was a security guard and all the security guards were from nepal. He said that none of the english people would go to the 10th floor unless others were there because they were frightened but all the men from nepal would go up. They believed it was haunted but didn't see any reason to be afraid of ghosts. He really thought it was rediculous to be afraid of spirits. So I guess it is how you're raised as well. Maybe if you'e raised to not believe in spirits you might be afraid of them because you dont understand the feelings.

So I read the two responses and am thankful for them.

Still, I was saying... but I'm more peaceful and calm than ever- instead of working 18 hours a day every day, i'm at home, not working and alone with my 4 month old.
I meditate and chill...

Then I thought... well I'm so not afraid, that has nothing to do with it...I've lived with bad energies before, been scared out of my mind, but I'm not scared now...just alone...but not scared now...

And then it hit me! Maybe I'm just so used to the bad bad vibes around me, or the entities that just want to mess around and scare me.
Maybe I haven't been "feeling" because I wasn't open to the truth that there could be good vibes or loving energies around me.
Anyways, I feel like i just figured out the answer to a tough math problem, like a cloud has been lifted.
So thanks Hermit and OomaboO That's exactly what i needed to hear...

I'm still curious about what anybody else wants to say (I'm always in need of education)

When you look at your extended family
So many have moved on to the higher place
I'm my case, everyone who was older than me is gone
Why would they not come and look in on the new generation
The new life in the family, they are related
Those that are gone before us have not gone that far

Walk a little insense around every room to cleanse
Smoke and cleanse the home/living space

Make yourself feel at ease with/in your surroundings
Once you are comfortable then all is well
Fears and the like lurke within your mind
Just waiting to come out
If fear is there then so are comfort and ease
You can chose which door you open
It is your mind and it is in your control

I met a lady once and she went to a physic and was told she had a silly spirit around her and it had been with her for awhile and they moved it on. She said after that she felt alone and like there was this whole in her, she couldnt understand why because her life became so much better after the moving on of the spirit. The physic said that was quite normal as she had lived with it for so long it was apart of her. I think you were correct in you summing up of it plus you big ahhh about it all would say to me that you were right too.

Why do some spirits attach themselves to people do you think?
How can we tell if it's a spirit messing with things or just our bad decisions?
Do we need help to get them away, or can we do it on our own?
