I was reviewing some old EVP recordings a couple of days ago. I was listening to a recording
taken in our favorite Leesburg cemetery. The recording was taken a couple of years ago at the
grave site of a girl called Mary.
I had been drawn to her site because she and I shared the
same first name and also because she had a fairly large resin bunny rabbit in front of her
headstone. I was intrigued by that bunny and wondered about who had placed it there and the
reason why. The poor bunny is missing its ears and one day I hope to find a bunny to put
beside it.
Anyway, since I could not find a suitable bunny, I had brought a metal flower which
was a lovely pink/rose color and I put it beside her headstone. I asked on the EVP recording if
she liked her flower and I captured her response "very much". I was grateful that she left that
recording for me. Why ? Because it reinforced my strong belief in the soul... that life goes on at
another level.
I remember my father telling me as a child that when someone passed on, that he didn't believe
in visiting cemeteries because there was nothing there. I kind of felt that way as well...that
when we die, we go to a level of heaven and nothing remains behind unless we are a spirit with
unresolved issues. I believe in the evolution of the soul.. that each life on earth is a lesson
learned.
Reincarnation, is it possible ? I believe the answer is yes. I think of the term "an old
soul". We all know people like that... people that seem to "get it".
Listening to that EVP made me ponder many questions. No one has the answers and I wonder
if there is an unwritten rule that we are not meant to know. Only in the hereafter can we bring
our "list" of questions and get answers.
In the meantime, we must rely on blind faith. I believe
that the personality of a soul remains in the hereafter. Some ghosts or spirits seem to have a
sense of humor. I remember being in that same cemetery a few months ago and when I asked if
anyone wished to speak, I got the answer "no". It made me chuckle because if I got nothing on
the recording I would have thought no one was there. But by getting a "no", the spirit just didn't
FEEL like communicating.
Hearing that EVP response made me think about the dead and the fact that they have feelings
and opinions of things that are happening around them. Even if we can't see them participating
in our "live" world, they certainly can make a response which we can be fortunate enough to
capture. Thomas Edison was trying to develop a 2-way form of communication.
Perhaps as time passes, that may one day become a reality. In the meantime, I think the old adage of
treating someone the way you wish to be treated is applicable for both the living and the dead. I
hope to capture more responses from one of my favorite spirits. I am still pondering whether we
"rest" at times in our after life at our grave site. When I say "rest", I mean in between
incarnations or studies in heaven....Ah... the mysteries of life...and death !!
