I've been asked why angels and spirits can't just talk to us and tell us what they want us to know. I wish it where that easy. There are about a dozen reasons why this doesn't happen. I'll try to explain a couple of them in terms of an analogy.

The first reason is due to dimensions. You all know that we live in the third dimension. Many of us already have one foot in the fourth or fifth dimension, especially those who have developed the psychic skills that we all possess. I've been told there are 144 dimensions but I suspect there are many more than that. Some are high levels while some are the same level as we are; those are called parallel universes.

For illustrative purposes, let's assume there are just 144 and they are stacked right on top of one another. Let's say that there is a new shopping mall that represents these 144 dimensions. Each dimension is a separate floor of the mall. In the center of the mall, there is a huge atrium where each floor opens up. You can stand in the center of the atrium and look clear up to the uppermost floor, or you can be on a floor and look out at the atrium and see the other floors above or below you.

Let's say since we are in the third dimension, you are standing on the third floor. Your sister just died and you know she is an angel in heaven, and you know she has been calling out to you, but you can't hear or understand her. She is on the 140th floor, calling to you. She knows you are somewhere on the third floor. Now if it was just you and just her, it might be a little easier. Even then, if you looked up 137 floors, you may not see much more than the floors, let alone hear anyone yelling down to you.

But it's not just the two of you. On the third floor, you have the whole planet with you - more than six billion people. That's assuming that our planet is the only one there, but it's not. Even if you only count three other parallel planets that are the same size, one on each side of the floor, there are more than 18 billion souls looking up, looking for someone. It's not much different on the 140th floor, but multiply that by 100. So now you have 18 billion souls looking up at a floor 137 stories above them for one spirit in more than 1.8 trillion. Your chance of finding who you're looking for, much less seeing them or hearing them, is pretty remote.

So what do you do? It's easy: you go up several floors and they go down several floors. (This is where meditation comes in; I'll explain more later on that).

Okay, so you've gone up to the 60th floor and your sister has moved down to the 100th floor, which is no easy feat for either of you. Now you can look up just 40 floors and she can look down. Now you can at least see each other's faces, so you see each other speaking, but you still have several billion souls who had the same idea, so there is no way you can hear each other.

Next solution? Keep going. You both finally make it to the 75th floor. Now, again, if it was just the two of you, you would be able to see each other and hear each other, but you wouldn't be able to hug her and touch her face. This has to do with frequency; more on that later too.

Since lots of others saw what you were doing, they followed you, and now the 75th floor is a sea of humanity and spirits, so you can't even find each other. There is lots of noise and chatter, and what sounds like buzzing. As you move around, looking for your sister, you bump into other humans (ouch), and feel like you've been shocked from spirits (ack), and suddenly you find your sister, and you both run towards one another.

As you almost reach her, you both halt suddenly like a force field has just stopped you! What happened? Never mind, you both start talking at once, and realize you can't understand what the other one was saying. You're confused and just a little bit angry that after all it took you to get here, you have no idea what your sister is saying. She looks a little perplexed as well, but seems to take it a lot better than you do.

Why can't you communicate with your sister when she is plainly standing right in front of you? This all has do to with energy exchange, different frequencies, universal languages, brain waves levels, experience in communicating with the otherside and half a dozen other things.

I will explain all of these as I've learned them, and try to help you to learn how to work around them. I need to say this has nothing to do with religion or spirituality and everything to do with science and faith (which can be different than spirituality). For a crash course in quantum mechanics and how it relates to the universe and life and death and inter-dimensional communication, read my other articles and visit my website. I'm not a scientist - I'm a spiritualist - but I've learned and discovered that they can be one and the same.
