One night we were visited by a spirit who seemed a little reluctant to give us his name. This is not a rarity as we have often been told of the difficulty of getting names totally correct due to the difficulties inherent in communication. What follows is an example of a question which is not that deep of itself, but lead to a discussion of deep significance. The communication started by the un-named spirit commenting on the difficulties and restrictions of the physical body in relation to communication between the earth and spirit worlds, but concluding that: "if you want to communicate you must put up with the inconvenience and restrictions."
Q: In you natural form are you more expansive and bigger than the physical body?
Spirit: Free-er is the word, I think, free-er.
Q: Does this freedom allow you to think of many things?
Spirit: It allows freedom of movement in particular, freedom of movement, freedom of expansiveness.
Q: What about freedom of thought?
Spirit: Thought is only contained by your own limitations. Whether you are in your physical body or whether you are in a spirit body thought is only contained by your own limitations; the limitations you would impose upon your thought. If you throw back the iron bars of your prison you can be free to fly like a bird with your thoughts. Thought is not limited, though there are those who seek to impose their limits on it. Not merely personal limits you understand. I refer to your governments and other such institutions who would seek to impose limits on your thinking for their own convenience, for their own comfort of mind. But you are all free to soar like a bird.
Q: So we put restrictions on ourselves then?
Spirit: You put restrictions upon yourselves. You draw rings around yourselves in the sand and take it for a finite boundary, a perimeter wall. But it does not exist. It has no substance. But you give it substance by your imaginings, if you follow me?
Q: Thought is very powerful then?
Spirit: It is most powerful indeed. Powerful to bring about containment. Powerful to bring about freedom. Power can be used in different ways: to contain or to expand.
