Psychic FAQ: Do spirits age or stay the same age they were when they passed away?
One of the most common (and controversial) spiritual questions psychic mediums are asked has to do with the evolution of the spirit after death. Do they continue to grow, mature and evolve in the afterlife…or do we just stop and continue in a frozen state of being like when we pass from this life to the next?
This question comes up MOST often in regards to people who see and talk to people they have loved and lost in this life, as many find that someone who crossed over in a sick, elderly, or sick state will appear younger, more healthier and happier. when they “visit”, often looking 20 or 30 years younger than when they crossed over.
In fact, in some cases…they are not even recognizable to the person seeing their “ghost” or spirit, especially in the cases of very young children who report seeing a grandparent in a photograph taken in their youth. ! (as was a case a reader recently shared with us where her 6-year-old son said, “that’s the man who visits me when I go to sleep… pointing to a newly discovered family photo of his grandfather taken when he was 30 years…and NOT the 82 year old who passed away from Alzheimer’s many years later”)
The answer, from a psychic medium’s perspective, is interesting, inspiring, and can vary quite a bit depending on what each medium believes:
- Some psychic mediums believe that spirits “choose” how they want to appear based on their own sense of being spiritual.
- Others believe that the way the spirit world “works” is such that a spirit will appear in a way that provides the greatest comfort, help, and VALIDATION for the person still living…to help them recognize and realize that in It really is a genuine experience.
- Most mediums say this in my experience, and I certainly believe the evidence bears this out. (for example, it is usually a combination of how the spirit WANTS to be seen as it appears, as well as the most powerful way that conveys recognizable genuine proof that they are also real to the person having the experience)
Of course, there are many different thoughts and perspectives on what happens to our soul or spirit when we pass away, and how (or if!) we “age” depends a bit on many other factors for which there are no easy answers. absolutely.
For example?
Is there time as we know it here?
(Most psychics and mediums and indeed many spiritual researchers and even scientists believe that time itself is NOT something that exists once we are freed from the limitations of human sensory experience)
Do we have bodies when we pass… or are we beings of light, thought and energy that have no physical form?
The truth is, as unsatisfying as this may be for those who want there to be only 1 truth…the true nature of reality, and your authentic spiritual self, is far more complex and wondrous than most realize. simple answers would like you to say. to believe.
The ONLY real way to know for sure is to have your own experience with spirit, seek your own truth, and speak, interact, and challenge a genuine psychic or medium that you trust to offer answers that resonate with YOU!
