Well, I’m off to Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. in Virginia Beach today to attend the Edgar Cayce Forum, a wonderful free evening seminar given once a month and moderated by Day Schwartz and her daughter Lindy van Burik. Lloyd Kremer, the speaker, will talk about Crop Circles, UFOs, and the End Times.
Should be interesting!

This is a selection on ghosts and orbs from independent paranormal investigator Robert Kreuk:
In the paranormal community a belief in ghosts is pretty common place. If they are, or if they have a connection to, “orbs” seems to be divided.
He also says that:
“If we are to prove the existence of either of these phenomena, if that is indeed the point of the investigations, our measuring equipment may need a facelift. Hauntings are not a modern phenomena, but over the years our equipment has changed and improved, so if we were to improve our devices to detect something more, or something else, maybe we’ll be able to shut the book on ghosts and orbs once and for all.”

Here’s an excerpt from a blog with many lovely photographs containing orbs. The author of the blog describes how she created orbs that turned up in her photographs. She used a compact camera with a flash plus atmospheric pollutants such as dust, rain, or pollen. The inference is that orbs photos result from atmospheric pollutants.
To get orbs it helps to use a compact camera with its flash on.
Then go into a dusty atmosphere, or rain, or underwater, or a swarm of midges, or pollen – if you can’t find them you can make your own:
Caro’s Lines: How to Photograph Orbs
Comments on her blog refer to orbs pictures taken in places such as cemeteries where there are supposed to be ghosts. The author of the comment does not refute orbs as indications of the dearly departed. However, she does disagree with orbs photographs being used as evidence of ghosts since orbs can be created in photographs by atmospheric means.
I mention this blog because I have a deeply inquiring mind and am curious. I like to get to the bottom of things. I find it interesting that orbs photos can be purposefully created.
Does this mean that all orbs in photographs are created by compact digital cameras with flashes and atmospheric pollutants?
I think not. Orbs in photographs would be mere atmospheric phenomena if they only turned up in photographs and only with compact digital cameras with flash.
On the contrary, many people wrote to me who can see orbs with their naked eyes . . . just sitting in their living rooms or hanging out with family and friends. Others have told me that orbs turned up in in photographs taken with large format professional film cameras.Therefore, many orbs photos have to be more than a mere atmospheric phenomenon.
What do you think?

I would like a way for all of us to communicate. I have received many emails from people saying how much they are enjoying the emails I’m sending out and also how wonderful it is for them to learn of other people who share similar interests or who can also see orbs or who have had similar experiences.
Those of you who receive these emails are in as diverse places as Alaska and Nova Scotia and even as far afield as Africa and Australia. There are so many of us of like mind who would like to be in touch with each other.
Therefore, I came upon the idea of having a no cost to you telephone seminar twice a month – on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday. By no cost, I mean that I am providing the service without cost. It will still cost you a long distance call the same as if you would call your Aunt Geraldine. Fortunately, many people have unlimited long distance or inexpensive calling cards or a generous number of minutes on their cell phones that a couple of hours a month will not be a problem.
This will work for some people and not for others. However, it’s a beginning.
I wanted to focus the calls on a specific topic so I chose dreams since most of us dream and dreams are one way spirit can communicate with us. Even if a person does not remember their dreams regularly, they may have insights into the interpretation of someone else’s dream. I also chose dreams because I have received helpful guidance in my dreams. With so much happening in the world right now, we, as a group, might come up with collective dreams that will be helpful to us all.
You are invited to participate whether you have a dream to share or not. You may only want to listen. That’s all right. It’s all about getting together and helping each other out.
In each session, I will also have a guest. The scenario is as follows:
The first session will be on Tuesday, February 10th at 8 PM Eastern Standard Time. I’ll send more information as the time draws near.

These intriguing orbs photos are from Zihna Jones in Wisconsin. Because the photos were very dark, I used Photoshop to lighten them. I am impressed that the orbs look so similar in close up. They are translucent and they have a sort of ring around their perimeter.

Yes, I know I promised the completion of the Psychic Soul Dream Course in January. However, like many people in the new year, I began with New Years Resolutions. Except that, in my case, I made spiritual resolutions by starting the new year with a 40 day prayer.
This prayer is similar to the 40 Day Manifestation Prayer that brought me to the man I was to marry as described in When We Were Gods.
As a result, I thought that a book on the 40 day prayers and its originator, J. Everett Irion, would be more appropriate for January. It’s called Change Your Life in 40 Days.
It’s almost done – an easily downloadable ebook. I just have to make the web site to make it available to you. It should be ready, Mercury Retrograde willing, next week.

Here’s an entertaining true story that contains many of the elements of a typical Mercury Retrograde scenario: Travel, Communications, Delays, Frustrations and the need for Patience and a Sense of Humor.
My son, daughter-in-law, and their three-year-old daughter went to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) on Saturday to renew Driver’s Licences (travel). When they got there, as was to be expected on a Saturday, the building was full of people. However, there was something wrong with the heating system of the building. It was so hot that everyone was sweating (frustrations). In an attempt to cool things down, the DMV employees had turned the ceiling fans on to high. The fans were turning so fast that the stifling hot building was full of wind causing people’s hair to blow in the breeze (need for a sense of humor).
On top of all that, the electronic message boards (communications) had gone on the fritz (delays and frustration). Normally, a person takes a number as they walk in the door and sits down to wait their turn on one of the chairs arranged in rows. When their number is displayed on the message board they go to one of six tellers, for example, the electronic message board will read, “Number 125 to Station D.” However, because the message boards were not working, to keep track of who was next in line, everyone had to sit in a certain order in their chairs. As the person at the head of the line was served, everyone moved to the next chair.
My daughter-in-law said that if someone went to the bathroom, you’d move along keeping that person’s chair empty (more need for a sense of humor). I’m sure this all took a lot of patience and a good sense of humor because it ended up taking up the whole morning instead of only one or two hours. Fortunately, my son and daughter-in-law brought toys and food for their little girl.
Can you imagine all these hot, sweaty people, fans whirring madly, hair whipping in their faces, and playing musical chairs!
They did get their drivers licenses renewed but it took much longer, was frustrating and required patience. That’s Mercury Retrograde.

A short newsletter today because I’m very tired. I’ll post photos tomorrow.
One reader wrote to say that years ago she began to see “these white things in the air.” She did not know what they were but told a friend about them. The friend suggested that she ask the orbs what they were. The orb answered her question with, “I am spirit.” She also said that she believes the orbs are ancestors or “spirits who are in the earthly plain.” She says that she has one visiting her all the time. Amazing!

Wow! Today, I received many amazing emails about encounters with orbs, including people who can see them with the naked eye (no camera needed) – more on that later – and also many orbs pictures. Thank you so much!!!
It will take a number of days to send them all to you.
Here’s the first. An absolutely amazing orbs picture full of orbs. This is a photograph of “the Kwakwaka’wakw Nation performing a traditional dance in the “Big House”, at Alert Bay, BC, on Cormorant Island, just off the NE coast of Vancouver Island (near Port McNeill).” Amazing and beautiful!

I received a number of emails in regard to yesterday’s post on Orb Pictures: Ghosts, Energies, or Dust? and I want to share them with you.
One reader wrote to say that he has taken many photographs that happen to have orbs in them. He also referred to “Adam” the author of a series of books such as DreamHealer: A True Story of Miracle Healings. Evidently Adam “can see them [orbs] moving around during a healing session entering the bodies (energy) of a person during their healing.” That’s pretty neat! This reader also said that he had learned from another source that orbs are “the ancestors.” Very interesting when you consider that so many cultures honor their ancestors.
Another reader wrote to say that for her, orbs are definitely “Spirit Energies.” She also mentioned the orb photographs of the crowd celebrating Obama’s presidential nomination.
Have you seen these photos of the Obama rally? They circulated on the internet for a while. I received numerous emails about them. The orbs were so plentiful that they looked like popcorn floating in the air.
Finally, one reader wrote: “Nice pictures.” I agree. The pictures are gorgeous!
Thank you Cynthia Hastings for emailing the orb photographs to me.
Here are a couple more orb photographs sent by Cynthia:

This photograph appears to have been taken during a snow flurry. You can see the wisps of snow blowing. The orbs look entirely different than the snow.
