The initial reaction is to push the sudden appearance aside as if it was a hallucination or a trick of the light. That's okay for those times it only happens once; and then we are likely to be left with the lingering questions 'what did I see?', 'what did they want?', 'who was it?' and the questions might never get answered.
If the 'apparition' was then to appear a second or even a third time, what then? It cannot be readily dismissed as a hallucination. It is therefore important to establish an understanding of the situation. Questions to consider include:
(1) Is the apparition appearing in the company of other people?
(2) Can anyone else see the apparition, or are you the solitary observer?
(3) Is the apparition connected to yourself or someone else?
(4) Is the apparition appearing as a residual form, or has it some evidence of intelligence?
The latter question means observing the apparition and noticing if it is aware of you or others in the room. It is at this stage that a connection with the apparition should be made to establish the reason for the visitation.
At first this will appear a daunting and a somewhat challenging course of action. The encounter is likely to be a life changing event, as it is meant to be. If the former human s proving to be intelligent then it has put a large amount of faith in establishing the connection with you. From personal experience of countless instances of these encounters, it is imperative to realise most connections will be made on a mental level. Most of the 'talking' undertaken by the departed human will be by way of mental telepathy using your mind faculties. This means it is likely to be your own mind voice that speaks. However, don't take anything away from a connection in this way It will be possible to determine such things as vocal accents, potential speak impediments etc etc.
It is vital to establish a connection that works for you and can be a quick and strong link. Often the information will be fleeting one liners. With your own mind convincing you it is nothing more than a vivid imagination. It is vital to accept the situation is real and an actual conversation is being undertaken.
If the deceased human turns out to be connected to someone else in the room, then discretion will be required when choosing whether or not to pass the information on to that person. Remember the deceased human has gone to a great amount of trouble to make the connection and pass the information to you. - Matthew James 14.8.22
