Spirits and ghosts are the same in form and meaning, but in deeper understanding, they are different in purpose. There are always questions and misunderstandings about the two, so we will try and put some light on the subjects. We will answer the following posted questions by individuals for the interested reader to think over.

How come there are bad spirits and good spirits but never a good ghost?
All ghosts are seemingly lost and have no purpose but to linger around in certain areas, causing fear and scaring people.
The meaning of “spirit” and “ghost” are basically the same, but as we learn each one’s effect on us, they are really different, and that is their purpose of existence.
In general, spirits are categorized into four groups. The first group is made up of the Divine Spirits, or the higher/highest spirits such as God, gods, goddesses, angels and god/deities of different religions. They have direct effects in our life on earth. Their main purpose is to guide us to perfection so we can go back to our source, or heaven, nirvana, Shangri-la — whatever the perfect place or source one believes in.
The second group is made up of spirits of the people who once lived on earth. These are the kind of ghosts we know. These are spirits of the people who were so attached to their earthly life that they could not let go of their loved ones, their wealth, position, emotions, wheher anger or joy; their spirits linger in the “halfway” place or dimension, between “heaven” and earth. They are trapped doing their ghostly activities.
The third group is made up of elemental spirits, which protect nature and possess powers over the elements of earth, fire, air, water and earth. They have different forms in accordance to their nature and purpose.
The fourth group consists of Evil spirits, or the spirits that God made, not to create havoc on earth, but to test our loyalty, sincerity, love and obedience to Him. One can go to the Book of Genesis, the part when God created the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve, then placed the devil there to test their obedience. But as the world progressed, the devil was transformed by “religious teachers” as a powerful entity, almost co-equal to that of the Creator. The devil used a focal point of fear for people to believe in God. It resulted only in making Satan another “God” with endless and sneaky power. That is a big mistake. That can never be and never ever will be. I firmly believe that instead of creating fear of the devil so that an individual will turn to God or be converted into a certain religion, we should only focus our teachings on the truth of God’s real love and mercy, and His overall power over all his creations in the entire universe and beyond.
In this simple understanding of spirits, a ghost is just a part of the “spirit realm” and being good and bad is not even an issue; it is just that they serve different purposes.
From Ruben Villar
Why is it that I always dream of my dead relatives every time I get sick?
The common fear of anyone who is sick then dreams of a dead relative is that they are being “notified” of their own impending death. While it may be true in some cases, this is very rare. The reality is that a person goes into an altered state, a shifting of the mind or the brain facilities, from left to right function. The right brain hemisphere is where our intuition facilitates for crossovers to other realms. This is a concept or possibility that is not acceptable to people with analytical minds, the so called “left brainers.” In a sense, seeing them in a dream is an actual experience of being with them in a flash. Again, this does not necessarily mean that death is about to come.
From Jose Bagadion
Why is it that the most common ghost seen is a ‘white lady’?
Again it is a wrong perception that ghosts are always spirits of a young lady or woman, aka “white lady.” Actually it can be an old woman or even a man. Spirits, regardless of whether man or woman, young or old, manifest in a bright light silhouette especially at night. The seeing person would translate the visual experience as a ghost of a white lady. This has become the norm seen by the person because of the expanse of the white bright light forming like flowing or expanding hair or dress. If one can withstand the fear of the unknown, the white visual effect of the ghost will slowly transform into the real appearance and form. Without fear or shock, one can see the actual gender and appearance of the ghost or spirit.
From Joe Marie
Why is it that I always experience ghostly apparitions and spirit manifestations?
Some people are more sensitive than others. There are people who possess the gift of clairvoyance, or heightened ESP, while others either ignore them or are not capable of tapping that ability, thus it remains hidden and undiscovered. Maybe you are one of those who are lucky enough to have the heightened senses without effort and possess the gift to see beyond what is perceived to be paranormal. In addition, there is more than what we know and see. I will suggest that you take time to have a deeper and real understanding of your ability then you will see that you can help not only yourself, but the human discarnates (spirits of the departed) and other people needing your assistance related to your ability.
Many questions are still unanswered. Many more will come. Also, it doesn’t mean that if you don’t believe or doesn’t have any question or problem with ghosts and spirits you are then exempted from any type of apparition or manifestation. Who knows, there could be a spirit or ghost reading this article with you right now. Boo! Happy Halloween!
