Wild spiritual experiences vs reality based ones
I avoid a lot of posts on spiritual sites about spiritual experience that people explain they are having that do not easily fit into the realistic way I envision the spiritual actually works.. The imagination can often go wild and misinterpret what is actually happening to someone. I do believe there exists a spiritual/emotional center in the brain that one can refer to as the “third eye” with the pineal gland playing a role in. I do believe that since we all are spirits we all are connected spiritually to others spirits to some degree on the spiritual level with the spiritual parts of our brain playing a key role.
I am programmed with spiritual theories that give me a very practical spiritual focus that is useful in the real world I exist in right now. I do not have spiritual beliefs/theories that allow my imagination to distort my spiritual perspective that much. This is because I made an effort to make myself that way with my reality based spiritual training. Of course we all are always connected spiritually to some degree since we need to be so in order to function well as the social being we are. If we lost this spiritual connection, we would cease to exist as a spirit and our body needs an operating spirit in order to exist. Some sociopaths have very distorted spirits, but still have spirits and can cause a lot of trouble as a result.
No higher life form is without a spirit with quite a bit of development so as to be able to relate emotionally with others especially of their own species. There exists these invisible connection between individuals and we also have a connection to our own body that can be maintained even when we project our spirit to quite a degree outside of oneself. Our body is very vulnerable when it has a lot of its spirit projected somewhere else. But, I find that the spirit can quickly return to its body when needed. I feel that one can learn a lot about how the spirit behaves by studying one dreams(while asleep). When one meditates one can go into dream-like states in which the subconscious mind will attempt to interpret what is actually happening spiritually to you. But in any dream-like state, one spiritual beliefs/theories will have to help the subconscious translate what is happening into dream/symbolic language. The accuracy of this interpretation will be limited to how well ones spiritual theories connect one to reality.
Those who have experienced life really intensely and have as a result gotten a really strong dose of reality, will tend to have dreams that are more aligned with reality and of practical value as a result. Those who are less realistic and willing to accept wild beliefs and a wild imagination needed to support those beliefs will have dreams or visions(often appearing quite real)that do not interface with reality well and are to me quite removed from how the spiritual actually works. We all are constantly learning lessons, and to me it is so important to have spiritual beliefs/theories that help us to function well spiritually in the physical world we now exist in. It is not safe to have ones spirit be affected by spiritual visions that weakens ones ability to be really strongly connected to the physical reality we exist in and that requires we act responsibly and maintain a high level of vigilance most of the time. One can get into a lot of trouble if one does not know what one is doing spiritually. Having strong survival energy is so important when one deal with the spiritual on a really intense level. One can get into a lot of serious trouble if one is not careful what one is doing spiritually!!
I have gotten really sick a number of times and also had near death experiences(1992) as a result of not knowing enough of what I was doing spiritually in the past. My strong survival energy and never give up approach helped me to survive and become really good at avoiding really serious trouble in the future. I have always taken the spiritual very seriously and that is why I believe I survived. My really intense spiritual focus enables me to get away with a lot that would not be safe for others to deal with. I was born really good in this area, and had to be to survive in this world. Necessity is often the mother of invention, and I feel like that is why I am good at what I do.

Communication with the dead
I believe this happens often in ones dreams especially soon after a loved one has died. Communication of the spirit to spirit type is not perfect since it relies on telepathy(psychic ability) to work. A translation has to be done by the subconscious mind which will translate with the accuracy that it has programmed into it. Psychic ability is never perfect, but varies with good training and programming. I did connect with my brother in a dream immediately after his accidental death in which he express his feelings about what happened to him. Feelings count a lot on the spiritual level. I did have further communications with him in which I remember reminding him that he was dead. I also did connect with my mother after her death at age 93. She had dementia before she died, but I remember telling her while dreaming that I was glad that her mind was back to normal. When some one dies, I believe their spirit loses the burdens imposed by a poorly functioning body, so it did not surprise me that her mental capabilities came back not long after she died. I am a spiritual pioneer, so I do not automatically accept that which is popularly accepted by a lot of people about the spiritual. I believe we are still in the dark ages as to our understanding of the spiritual as the poor spiritual state this world is in right now demonstrates.

I believe people sometimes will badly misinterpret the physical/spiritual experiences they have or witness
It is often believed that the type of spiritual energy that can have a negative affect on people can originate from other than human sources on this planet. I feel negative/delusional spiritual energy comes from spirits that are actually incarnated on this Earth with their spiritual/emotional parts of their brain functioning on a strong enough level to cause trouble to others. Often spiritual phenomena can be explained many ways. I feel that negative/destructive/delusional spiritual energy is supported by a lot of the inhabitants of this planet. I feel that the inhabitants of this planet are very responsible for the spiritual state this planet is in. I do not see alien spirits(not now incarnated on this Earth) as having much power spiritually here, since they are not connected to this planet strong enough to have any power here. Ghosts, I believe have to be energized by real(alive) people with the spiritual/emotional capability of doing so. I believe alien abductions are misinterpretations of what someone is experiencing in an altered spiritual state and set off by spiritual energy directed toward this individual from some living human source. A lot of humans are good at sending out really crazy/delusional type spiritual energy and many individuals are vulnerable to it. I believe people will dream up something to represent the type of energy they are picking up spiritually on a psychic level. I feel even groups of people with shared beliefs that help distort how they interpret what is happening can even experience a sort of group delusion with the members of the group helping each other to see things in a distorted form.
I feel that spiritual energy will affect people often in a way similar to how it affects ones dreams at night. One will go into an altered state of consciousness and then your subconscious mind will represent the spiritual energy directed at use in the form of some sort of analogy(often exaggerated) with the images produced being very much affected by your beliefs. People who have beliefs that are less grounded in this solid physical reality we exist in, will be more vulnerable to be adversely affected and to imagine rather crazy/wild things happening to them when exposed to the messed up spiritual energy directed their way. Spiritual energy can actually be strong enough to manifest itself visually and can even be captured on film at times, but is not real in the physical/scientific senses. Often people will have delusions that they mistake as real, or they will misinterpret what they are experiencing. Delusions can sometimes be of a more positive nature in how they feel even a little intoxicating, but can still seem real(physical) and be misinterpreted due to the images ones subconscious creates being distorted by ones willingness to accept certain wild beliefs that are accepted to readily in certain spiritual/religious circles.
The hard truth is not easy to obtain. Often people are too willing to believe almost anything and that can lead them to have life-like spiritual experiences that are badly misinterpreted, or even real life experiences they experience being spiritually distorted and misread. One has to be quite skeptical of a lot of the information people put forth as the truth in this world, since so much misinformation is present here, often on both side of subject/issues, with those who differ believing their life experiences back up their viewpoint. The truth is not easy to discover, and jumping quickly to certain conclusions(often as a result of a bias caused by ones beliefs) will often distort all your experience especially those that have a strong spiritual component to them.
I strongly believe that a spirit can not be impactful spiritually on this planet, unless it is incarnated in a body with an adequate brain and has done the necessary training required to develop the spiritual strength required. That the brain actually has spiritual parts(related to sleep and emotions) of it that need to be developed in order for a spirit to be able to impact this world spiritually. I do not believe a spirit without a body has much power in itself, but will gain power only through the energy channeled their way by those with a physical body that enables them to do so. I design my spiritual beliefs so that they will work really well in this challenging physical world that really can test how well ones spiritual beliefs really work when one is facing really strong physical/spiritual challenges.

The way the spirit operates within the rules of our physical reality
This post represents my speculation on the spirit and how it operates independent of a body based on my intuition and understanding of how our reality works. I do get a lot of information about how the spirit operates from my dreams in my sleep. I believe that ones spirit does often leave the body in ones sleep. That we can gain a lot of insight from our dreams about how the spirit operates. Spiritual training I believe also helps an awful lot to help one to better connect with the spirit world(that is located in the same time and space as the physical world and constantly interacts with it) and understand what is happening there while one is dreaming.
The spirit after leaving its body at death has to find the type of body that it has experience in operating. It has certain genetic requirements necessary to meet its needs. Some spirits are more specialized than others and have to have bodies that meet more specialized genetic requirements. Spirits can not escape the time and space they exist in. They do exist in a time and space when incarnated in a body, and when they leave their body must travel from the point they leave the body through space in order to get to another location. The spirit is less limited in some ways when it is without the weight of a body and can travel a lot more quickly and readily through space. But, it still takes time for the spirit to travel through space even when the spirit is not burdened with the weight of being connected to a physical body.. It is hard for a spirit(even without body) to travel through areas of space it is not familiar with.

The continuous existence of ones spirit.
I do believe that spirits continuously exist(reincarnates) and do not believe psychics are completely off when they connect with spirits after they die. I connected with both the spirit of my brother and my mother really strongly after they died in my dreams. Some people are not as tuned into the spirit world as others, but one can do meditative training in order to improve ones connection in this area. One dreams in ones sleep can connect one to the spirit world to quite a degree. Scientist rarely train intensely in the spiritual area, since it is such an opposite direction. I feel psychically my continuous existence as an individual spirit. I train extremely hard spiritually using my own intense meditative/mind-body exercises. The psychic senses that help one to tune into the spiritual have to be developed.
We really are not that advanced in the spiritual area at this time in this world and can do a lot to improve in this area. The predominating spiritual ideas that have a lot of psychic support in this world(due to a quantity of believer here)are easily tuned into by a lot of people. New more advanced spiritual ideas(recently developed and not yet having the time to gain a lot of psychic support of a lot of believers) will take more work to connect with, but will if one makes the effort to required to understand and program oneself with them will help one to become a lot more aware and effective spiritually in this world. It sure helps to have a good spiritual road map to help one better understand what is going on in this world on a deeper level.
The spiritual ideas that work the best to help us cope and do well in the physical reality we exist in right now will be the ones that will be closest to the truth. The truth tends to work! When one is really strongly challenged in this world spiritually, one has to have spiritual ideas that help you to hang in there and handle it. Any spiritual ideas that allow one a way to escape from facing this reality when it becomes really challenging through going out of existence, or going into a reality that is not as challenging will harm ones ability to hang in there. When one knows that one will spiritually continuously face similar challenges in the future even beyond this life, one will be more willing to learn how handle the intense challenges that you are now facing. This world has a lot of intense challenges right now that we need to advance spiritually in order to better handle.

The Physical is an Essential Part of our Spirit’s Reality
I believe when we leave our body either in our dreams or after death, that we do not escape space or time, and that our spirit will have to travel from its point of leaving the body through space within our multiverse, in order to get to a new location. That it will take time for it to get anywhere. I believe the spirit is a lot less limited in regard to what it can tune into. Even when the spirit is well implanted in its body when awake, it often can tune into a lot spiritually that is way beyond its current location.
What one has to remind oneself is that the physical world and the important properties that go with it are part of the spiritual oneness of reality. That means that one can never totally escape from it. Often people who focus on the spiritual, have trouble getting along with science, because they tend to not value the physical aspect of our reality well enough. When one devalues the importance of the physical world, it make its easier to devalue the importance of proving oneself spiritually in it, by impacting it in a way that make a positive difference. If we had really adequate spiritual ideas and training, we should be able to transform this spiritual world into a much better place. We should appreciate the physical part of our reality, and not be so quick to devalue its important properties.

Dreams – A window to the Spirit World
I believe that dreams provide us with a connection with the spirit world. That is why psychics(prophets) often get valuable spiritual insipiration or visions while in a dream state(or a similar altered state). I believe that spirits in the spirit world world(not incarnated at this time)play roles in dreams and play out scenarios to represent the spiritual energies one is dealing with in ones life at the time of the dream. These spirits can represent through playing the role of a person in ones life, the spiritual/psychic affect these people are having on you at the time of the dream. These spirits can even play the role of oneself in a dream and play out a scenario that can give one insight into the spiritual state one is in at the time of the dream. These non-incarnated spirits will just mirror the psychic/spiritual/emotional energy that one is being affected by at the time of the dream.
Sometimes a dream will involved a more direct spirit to spirit connection between two incarnated people/spirits, or between even someone alive(incarnated)on this Earth and someone(often a loved one) who has died(passed on). People who are more psychic will connect with more such spirits that have passed on recently.
All this action happens on the subconscious level which is where one connects with ones inner spirit and connects with the spiritual side of life and the spirit world. The subconscious mind plays a very strong role spiritually.
The spirit world is less inhibitied and freer and a lot less limiting than the physical world, so dreams tend to be exaggerated and involve being able to do things one could not do safely in waking life. One can breath underwater, can fly like a bird and even travel through outer space in dreams without mechanical devices or vehicles. The exaggerated quality of dreams can get a point across often in a way that is more obvious and less subtle than analyzing ones waking life. Symbols often play a strong role in dreams and in the spirit world. Most dreams are like analogies that can tell one a lot about what is going on in ones life at the time of the dream
