A Fifth Grader’s Encounter with the Afterlife and a Medium’s Intervention-Beyond the Veil: the Hauntingly Beautiful Story of Love Lost and Found!

Dear Gentle Reader,

My name is Annie Mae Elizabeth Ruby Williams, and yes, you guessed it, I am named after a bunch of my old dead relatives. My family calls me Beth or Annie Mae if they are mad at me.

My best friend is named Susanne Delcroix. She and I are really tight. Maybe it’s because we are similar in many ways. I’ll explain more about that later.

Anyway, I want to tell you a story about something that happened one night when my best friend Susanne spent the night over at my house. Are you ready?

Here goes:

“I remember this story vividly. I was in the fifth grade, and the house was on Filmore Street. It was built in the 1870s, and my father’s mother and family lived there before us.

My best friend Suzanne used to spend the night with me sometimes, especially on this particular Friday night. She spent the night over. It was one of those “strange” times. It was around 11:30 p.m. at night. We were doing the things that little girls do after my parents checked on us and thought we were asleep. We had our share of whispered laughter, telling each other jokes, and giggling like crazy. Then we heard this strange noise coming from outside my window. The room got really cold.

At first, we thought nothing of it; it just had to be the wind. The next thing we heard was the clicking of heels walking down the hallway outside my bedroom door. My room was on the second floor. Down the hall was my parent’s room.

Suzanne and I got quiet as we listened to the clicking sound of the shoes coming toward my bedroom door. When the sound got to my bedroom door it stopped and all of a sudden, my bedroom door just kind of opened on its own. No doorknob turning or nothing. It was just plain weird.

A strange light emitted from the doorway and their standing in the middle of it was my great grandfather, Frances Luray Williams. The man had been dead before I was born. I knew it was him because I’ve seen a photo of him often enough when I passed by it, in the hallway each day heading out the front door on my way to school.

My great grandfather stood there like it was nothing. He stood there staring into the room as if he was looking for someone and then all of a sudden, a voice rose from his body, but his lips didn’t move, and he called out. “Ruby! Ruby! My darling, are you here?”

I looked over at my friend Susanne and she was lying there with her eyes closed shut really tight. Pretending to be sleep. The girl could be an absolute coward sometimes. I swallowed hard and kept staring. My deceased great grandfather focused his gaze at me and spoke. “Baby Girl go on back to sleep,” and just like that he vanished in the doorway. I looked back at the spot where my great grandfather had just stood, confused, shocked and alarmed, all I could do was yell out loud to my mother. “Mom! Great Grandfather Frank was just here!”

My mom yelled back, “I know, I heard him, calling for Great Grandmother Ruby! He can’t hurt you none. Now, go to sleep!”

My friend Susanne’s eyes opened wide, and she said. “Ya’ll one crazy arse family. This is the last time I’m spending the night over here. I forget your kin can see dead people Annie Mae Elizabeth Ruby Williams! Now you got me seeing them too!” Suzanne declared.

“Oh, really?” I declared. “Just shut up Suzanne, you were seeing dead people long before you met me. Isn’t that why you picked me to be your friend in the first place?”

Suzanne shrugged and fluffed her pillow. “Oh, yeah, I forgot. We both have that seeing and hearing dead people thing,” she sighed. “And yes, you are right, I did pick you to be my friend, especially when I knew you had the same gift as me. But at least at my house the ghosts don’t be calling out people’s names, in the middle of the night. Anyway, you know we can’t tell anyone about this stuff at school. Right?”

“I hear you,” I said.

“By the way,” Susanne stated. “What did you say happened to your Great Grandmother Ruby? I mean How did she die again?”

“Oh, that, she died in childbirth, trying to have a son for my great grandfather.” “Oh yeah, but didn’t you say your great grandfather remarried? Why does he keep trying to find her, Ruby I mean?” Susanne asked.

“I don’t know. My mother said that my great grandfather wasn’t in love with the second wife he married. He had one of those everlasting love things, for my great grandmother Ruby, his first wife. My Mother said she guess, when he died my great grandmother Ruby didn’t come to get him and he is forever looking for her.”

“Wow!” that’s really deep,” Susanne said. “You know there’s this medium clairvoyant lady on YouTube and she can call the dead up and have a talk with them. Maybe she can hook your great grandfather and great grandmother up together and figure out why they sort of missed each other on that leaving the earth thing.”

“Really, Susanne?”

“Really!”

“You can’t be serious? Anyway, I don’t think this lady is going to just do something like this for free,” I declared.

Susanne fluffed her pillow again and exhaled. “It was just a suggestion. Besides, I know you can get her help for as little as twenty-five dollars. And I know you got twenty-five dollars. Because I know how much money you’ve got saved up. You little money hoarder.”

“Whatever!” I declared. “And you better not say anything to anyone about how much money I got saved up or I won’t loan you another thin dime again,” I declared as I turn to get comfortable on my side of the bed as my thoughts raced and then it hit me. What did I have to lose anyway. Besides, at least it would give me and Susanne something to do the next day.

“Susanne, I think that’s a good idea, you know looking up that medium clairvoyant lady,” I said. “It will give us something to do on Saturday.”

The next day, after the eerie encounter with my great grandfather, Susanne and I couldn’t shake off the strange events that unfolded in the middle of the night. We decided to embark on a mission to unravel the mysteries of the afterlife and find closure for my restless great-grandparents.

Susanne, always the tech-savvy one, pulled out her phone and started scrolling through YouTube, determined to find the clairvoyant medium she had mentioned the night before.

“I found her! Her name’s Seraphina Mystique. She’s got thousands of subscribers, and people say she can really communicate with the other side,” Susanne exclaimed with excitement.

We sat huddled around the phone, watching as Seraphina Mystique explained the process of reaching out to spirits. With a mix of skepticism and anticipation, we decided to contact her and ask for help. I sent her an email detailing the bizarre events of the previous night and pleading for assistance.

Surprisingly, Seraphina responded promptly, expressing her interest in helping us connect with my great grandparents. She agreed to conduct a session at our house the following evening.

As the sun set, Susanne and I nervously prepared for the clairvoyant’s arrival. Seraphina entered our home with an air of confidence, her energy seemingly attuned to the mystical.

“Child, I sense a strong presence here,” Seraphina spoke, her eyes closed as if tuning into another realm. “Your great-grandparents are indeed lingering, searching for each other. I will do my best to guide them towards each other’s spirits.”

We gathered in a circle, hands linked, as Seraphina began her channeling. A soft glow enveloped the room, and in the midst of it, the figures of my great-grandparents materialized. Their faces carried a mix of confusion and longing.

Seraphina, acting as a conduit between the living and the departed, gently encouraged them to communicate. Tears welled up in my eyes as I witnessed my great grandfather, Frances, express his undying love for Ruby, my great grandmother.

“Ruby, my darling, I’ve been searching for you. Why did you not come for me when I left this world?” Frances asked, his voice echoing through the room.

Ruby, with a serene smile, replied, “Frank, I thought you had moved on. I didn’t want to disrupt your journey. But seeing you still searching, my heart aches.”

Seraphina guided them through a conversation that spanned the years they spent apart, the regrets, and the unspoken words. As the conversation unfolded, an ethereal light enveloped them, and they embraced in a spectral reunion.

“I release you both,” Seraphina murmured, her eyes still closed. “May you find peace together and move on to the afterlife united.”

In a heartwarming moment, the spirits of my great-grandparents faded away, leaving behind a sense of tranquility. The room, once filled with an otherworldly energy, returned to normal.

Susanne and I exchanged amazed glances. Seraphina opened her eyes, smiling. “Love has a power that transcends even death. Your great-grandparents can now find eternal peace together.”

From that night on, the house on Filmore Street felt lighter, as if the spirits of Frances and Ruby had finally found the closure they sought. Seraphina Mystique became our unsung hero, connecting the living with the departed and bringing peace to a family haunted by the echoes of the past. And as for Susanne and me, we became believers in the magic that lies beyond our mortal understanding, forever bound by the extraordinary experience that unfolded within the walls of my ancestral home.

The Dark Side of Spirituality: Unmasking the Hidden Dangers of Spiritual Narcissism!

Have you ever encountered someone who seems to radiate spiritual wisdom, only to later feel manipulated, judged, or even diminished by their so-called enlightenment? The charm of that person that you encountered with the alluring overpowering spiritual wisdom often times masks a darker reality—spiritual narcissism.

Spiritual narcissism is a complex and misunderstood phenomenon. It often happens when individuals use their spirituality or religious beliefs as a means of boosting their ego, using strict convictions of lifting their own confidences by controlling others and asserting their supposed superiority.

Not at all like conventional selfishness, which is plain and simple to recognize, otherworldly self-absorption takes cover behind the facade of blessedness, making it much more slippery. This article will investigate the signs, qualities, and mental underpinnings of profound self-absorption, and give knowledge into what it can mean for connections and individual prosperity.

Dr. Sanam Hafeez, a regarded neuropsychologist, characterizes profound egomaniacs as the individuals who utilize their otherworldly convictions to acquire power, control, and esteem from others. They might accept they are all the more profoundly developed and utilize this conviction to legitimize activities that hurt others. The harm they cause can be significant, dissolving trust and establishing poisonous conditions in connections, networks, and, surprisingly, inside oneself. It's significant to comprehend that otherworldly self-centeredness isn't about certifiable profound development; it's tied in with involving otherworldliness as a device for self-glorification.

“I once went to a contemplation retreat drove by an individual who appeared to epitomize all that I tried to be — serene, savvy, and profoundly associated with the heavenly. Yet, as the retreat advanced, I started to see unpretentious yet upsetting ways of behaving. He excused the encounters of others as "less advanced," deprecated the people who addressed him, and continually looked for acclaim for his alleged otherworldly bits of knowledge. It wasn't some time before I understood that his lessons weren't tied in with helping other people develop in a profound way; they were tied in with building up his own feeling of prevalence. This experience woke me up to the truth of profound self-absorption — a reality that is surprisingly normal. It made me question how frequently otherworldliness is abused and the way in which it can turn into a weapon as opposed to a way to illumination.”

The implications of spiritual narcissism are broad. It can provoke the breakdown of associations, support toxic circumstances, and even reason significant harm. The people who capitulate to these supernatural narcissists could feel invalidated, excused, and sincerely exhausted. Also, otherworldly egotists frequently need veritable compassion, making it challenging to draw in with them in significant ways.

They might utilize their otherworldly convictions to manipulate and control, leaving others feeling caught in a pattern of culpability and disgrace.

What drives Spiritual narcissism. While it’s not a clinically diagnosed disorder, like Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD , yet it shares many traits with other forms of narcissism. It might come from a well-established need for approval, a craving for control, or even an off track conviction that one's profound excursion makes them innately better than others. Perceiving these examples can assist us with shielding ourselves as well as other people from their hurtful impacts.

Conclusion:

Profound self-absorption is a perilous contortion of what ought to be a positive and sustaining part of our lives. An update even chasing profound development, we should stay watchful and mindful of the self-image’s capability to dominate. Genuine otherworldliness is about modesty, sympathy, and certified association — not predominance, control, or control. By understanding the indications of profound self-absorption and defining firm limits, we can safeguard our own prosperity and cultivate better, more bona fide connections.

Closing:

Assuming you've experienced an otherworldly egomaniac, it's memorable's vital that their way of behaving isn't an impression of your value. Their activities are driven by their own weaknesses and need for approval. You merit connections that inspire and sustain your profound excursion, not ones that decrease it. Look for help, put down stopping points, and spotlight on your own development. In doing as such, you can recover your way to genuine otherworldly edification and inward harmony.

Life After Death? The Eternal Question: What We Know About After-Death Experiences and Science!

Picture it! Awakening around midnight, detecting a presence in the room, only to realize it’s the comforting aura of a loved one who passed away years ago. This isn't simply a scene from a film — many individuals across the world have had similar encounters, raising perhaps of the most significant inquiry: Is there life after death?

After-death communication is a phenomenon that has interested mankind for centuries. From detecting a left cherished one's presence to distinctive dreams and, surprisingly, unusual electronic unsettling influences, these encounters are accounted for by individuals from varying backgrounds, frequently giving solace and a feeling of association with the people who have passed on. Shockingly, these experiences aren't new phenomenon, interesting, but not new — research shows that a critical piece of the populace has encountered some type of ADC, and these occasions aren't generally attached to distress.

Be that as it may, what does science say regarding eternal life? Is there any clarification that can overcome any barrier between profound encounters and the universe of experimental proof? How about we investigate the secrets of ADCs and perceive how they could highlight the chance of life past death.

ADCs are not simply disengaged episodes experienced by the excessively profound or profoundly strict. Studies uncover that up to 82 percent of individuals have had some type of after-death communication, frequently feeling consoled or even being changed by these experiences. What’s even more fascinating is that these experiences occur across different cultures, religions, and belief systems, including among skeptics and even atheists.

All in all, what's going on here? Are these encounters only inventions of our creative mind, or might they at any point take advantage of something more profound — an association that science is simply starting to investigate?

Take the tale of Carl Jung, the popular clinician who once longed for his dad after his dad's passing. Jung, a man of science, wound up contemplating the secrets of life and passing more profoundly due to this fantasy. Or on the other hand consider the doubter whose messed up radio started playing precipitously during his wedding — a second that shook his skepticism.

I recollect when I, as well, felt the presence of a friend or family member who had died. It was a peaceful night, and as I sat alone, I out of nowhere felt a warm hug, as though they were not too far off with me. The experience was clear to the point that it left me doubting all that I assumed I had some awareness of life and demise. It wasn't simply a memory or living in fantasy land — it felt genuine, as though an entryway between our reality and the following had momentarily opened.

Imagine a scenario where these encounters are mental survival strategies as well as genuine looks into another reality. The Proceeding with Bonds Hypothesis recommends that keeping an association with the departed can be remedial, permitting people to track down more profound significance in their misfortune. This hypothesis challenges the idea that melancholy should be settled through separation, rather suggesting that our bonds with the departed can go on in a significant manner.

According to a logical viewpoint, even probably the most levelheaded personalities, like Albert Einstein, have conceded that the universe is loaded up with secrets outside our ability to understand. Might it at any point be that post-existence would one say one of those secrets, is life after death? All things considered, many individuals find comfort in the possibility that their friends and family keep on existing in some structure, and, surprisingly, more, that these convictions can affect their psychological and actual wellbeing.

Conclusion:

While science may not as yet have every one of the responses, the inescapable idea of ADCs and the solace they bring to the individuals who experience them propose that there's something else to life — and demise — besides we at present can comprehend. Whether through dreams, vivid déjà vu moments or dreams, or sentiments, these experiences frequently leave individuals with a significant feeling of harmony and consolation, making them keep thinking about whether maybe there is something more sitting tight for us past this life.

Closing:

As we keep on investigating the secrets of the universe, the topic of eternal life remains one of the most significant and persevering. Whether you view ADCs as a mental peculiarity or a brief look into another domain, one thing is clear: they contact something profound inside us, something that yearns for association, meaning, and the expectation that life might proceed, even in the afterlife.

Toxic Traits, Higher Pay: The Real Reason Narcissists Thrive in Business!

Imagine walking into your office and spotting that one coworker who seems to have it all: the high salary, the corner office, and the admiration of the higher-ups. However, there's something off — this individual appears to lack empathy and with a closer look it seems that this individual is generally quick to take responsibility for others’ work. Look even closer and this individual seems to have a dark toxic cloud surrounding him. Is the secret to their success?

In the corporate world, it’s an obvious fact that some people ascend the stepping ladder of success quicker than others. Yet, imagine a scenario in which toxic characteristics like self-centeredness and psychopathy, frequently considered dim and bothersome, are assisting certain individuals with succeeding. That’s right, traits like those of a narcissism or psychopathy, which often are seen as dark and undesirable, are helping some people succeed? Recent research by organizational psychologists suggests that these dark traits might actually be an advantage in business settings.

In this article we will explore why people with these personalities often earn more and rise to leadership roles quicker, leaving the rest of us wondering—do you need to be toxic to thrive in corporate spaces?

In the corporate world, earnings management is an ethically questionable practice where senior managers can manipulate financial statements to reflect a company’s desired earnings projection, rather than its true performance. This practice has been found to be morally problematic, with many managers and directors who control fiscal reports being willing to manipulate those reports to mirror an organization's ideal profit instead of its actual numbers.

Studies show that individuals with dark personality traits—such as narcissists and psychopaths—are more likely to engage in this type of behavior. Why one might ask. Well, since dark personality traits appear to be the attributes that line up with achieving certain specific corporate goals. Egotists, with their self-assurance and appeal, and mental cases, with their absence of sympathy and valor, can be staggeringly powerful in jobs that require difficult choices and control of numbers.

Organizations may not be expressly searching for exploitative workers, yet the attributes that make somebody ready to push moral limits are in many cases the very characteristics that assist them with seeming solid, sure, and fit — characteristics that are profoundly esteemed in professional workplaces. The miserable truth is that these people are getting employed quicker, and placed into positions that allow them to run amok. Their capacity to project certainty and control circumstances for their potential benefit causes them to seem like ideal contender for administrative roles.

I once worked with a the supervisor embodiment of certainty. He had a practically attractive appeal that attracted individuals, and he generally appeared to know precisely the exact thing to say to get what he needed. Be that as it may, in the background, it was an alternate story. He would consistently assume acknowledgment for his group's diligent effort and wasn't above twisting reality to do right by himself. It was baffling to watch, however it was difficult to reject that his strategies worked — he continued to get advanced, and his compensation continued to climb. I really wanted to ponder, is this the stuff to prevail in the present corporate world?

Assuming organizations keep on focusing on attributes like certainty and confidence disregarding the potential for dishonest way of behaving, they may unexpectedly be establishing conditions where harmful ways of behaving are compensated. This has extensive ramifications for the working environment culture as well as for society overall. At the point when the individuals who need compassion and will control their direction to the top are compensated, it communicates something specific that these are the qualities required for progress. This could prompt a cycle where an ever-increasing number of individuals feel forced to take on comparable ways of behaving to excel.

Be that as it may, what's the significance here — the individuals who esteem trustworthiness, uprightness, and cooperation? Would it be a good idea for us to begin embracing these dim qualities to succeed, or is there another way? Maybe the response lies in altering the manner in which we characterize outcome in corporate spaces. Rather than remunerating the individuals who seem certain and self-assured on a superficial level, organizations could profit from looking further, evaluating contender for characteristics like compassion, moral navigation, and genuine initiative potential.

Conclusion:

While plainly dull character qualities can offer specific benefits in professional workplaces, it's memorable vital that these attributes can likewise prompt harmful working environments and unscrupulous way of behaving. As organizations keep on developing, there's trust that the accentuation on moral authority will develop, guaranteeing that the people who succeed do so as a result of their positive effect, not their capacity to control and bamboozle.

Closing:

All in all, do you truly should be harmful to prevail in corporate spaces? The examination could recommend thus, however that doesn't mean it's the main way. By advancing a culture of moral initiative and remunerating honesty, we can make working environments where achievement is estimated by the positive commitments we make, not by the murkiness we're willing to embrace.
