I see no reason not to believe in ghosts. Some of what we see as “ghosts” are quite possibly intense energetic remnants of events imprinted upon the room or space where they occurred. As if the emotions of the original moment were so extreme they left a splatter pattern. Indelibly branded to the walls, the earth, even the air, replaying over and over like an old cassette tape.
These are the ghosts some are sensitive enough to see. Different from those voices from the hereafter who dialogue with and advise the living through psychic mediums, these remnant ghostly apparitions we speak of are indicators of a phenomenon which also has a sacred application.
What does it mean that humans might have the ability to energetically imprint the earth? To touch a mountain or a tree with such an intensity of emotion that you are literally never forgotten by them? So strong is the residue of your goodness, others passing by at later dates and ages might even see you standing there out of the corner of their eye. A hologram of your affection still lingering. Like a ghost, but of a very different substance.
Now, what if we did that on purpose?
Do you believe in ghosts? Do you believe that they are a hint at what we are capable of projecting? We see that fear and terror can leave an imprint. How powerful is it really? How lasting? Is it impervious to a new energy? When we re-use a cassette tape we erase the old magnetic imprint as we record a new one. The molecules are rearranged to be different than before.
What of the idea that a positive thought is many times stronger than a negative one? Can we deliberately re-imprint a place with loving and positive energy which remains for eons afterward? Can this be our legacy? Is this the power to bless something? Are we stewards of a power belonging to Something Else or are we created to be a power of our own?
Perhaps it’s all fantasy. Spooky stories disrespectfully attached to the sacred as a gimmick. A bad joke.
But what if it isn’t? What do you really believe? If you believe in ghosts, for instance, what is that belief saying to you about the nature of the Ultimate Reality? Does a person have the ability to imprint themselves on the earth or not? I personally believe they do. And I believe our positive imprint makes a lasting impact on that space forever.
I believe that it is an indicator of our partnership with Source and the purpose of why we are here. We have told these types of ghostly stories for all of human history. Not all believe it’s possible, of course. If it’s true, it’s true with or without their belief. If it’s false, may we only grow in love through the discovery of our error.
But either way, let’s pretend. Let’s pretend that we have power beyond measure. If we are made in the image of Spirit, let’s do something grand with that magnificent mojo.
Anchor joy to the earth. Tether it like a balloon. Tie it with a string at first, but then deepen the connection by reinforcing it. Revisit it. Re-love it. We fantasize about abilities we already have. We are superheroes with a power to save the world by touching it. But we must awaken to our gifts in order to use them on purpose.
When you are in a joyful space or moment, at a family gathering or a beautiful sunset, anchor your feelings to the earth. Use your mind to literally connect that exquisite feeling to the fibers of the planet in that spot. Picture the physical area where you attached it glowing like a puddle of light seeping slowly into the soil, the walls, the rock, the air.
You have the right and the power. As you awaken to it, you will learn of the responsibility you have to use it often. Once you see it in action, you will do it every moment of every day. Be purposeful and mindful with your footprint. Where you walk will forever remember you.
One of my favorites, so far.
