Q: Do you recommend that people try and contact spirit through Ouija boards?
Hai: We do not generally recommend it, yet we know you are aware that this was the manner of first contact with Paul and Eileen. Therefore (laughs) we cannot say, do not use it, because we have used it ourselves. But we say that it must be used with care for there are spirits who are near the earth vibration who would take advantage of such devices. It is easier for them to move them than it is for us to move them oftentimes. Therefore you should take care. You should reach out as we have said, always with love, always with best intent, always seeking highest spirit, highest connection. Then there is a case that you may contact spirits of good intent, of benevolent intention, as was the case with our friends here. And then we may connect with you and advance our purpose together. But you should always be discerning with the contact which you establish. You should always judge the contact carefully. And you must be of strong will, of strong mind. We would certainly not recommend anyone who is not of strong mind, not a stable mind to experiment with the Ouija board. It is too open to abuse by less savoury spirits; therefore, you must have strong will and strong mind.
Q: Do you have to protect yourself before using a Ouija board?
Hai: You protect yourself by your intent. This, as we have always said, is the best protection. You protect yourself with your intent. No manner of rituals are any protection for your best protection is your own intent, your own earnest seeking of the good.
Another member asked:
Q: Can you elaborate on what you describe as less savoury spirits? Are we talking about advancement here?
Hai: If you wish to view it this way, but it is no different to your situation on the earth plane. For are there not many spirits who inhabit your earth plane with varied intent, varied intention, varied degrees of compassion. So it is on the spirit plane also.
Q: If it is true that we review our life when we come to the spirit world, would this not give us some personal insight. I'm just thinking that if we get insight then how can there be less savoury spirits in the spirit world?
Hai: But not all spirits review their life straight away after death. If a spirit is one that is locked in to its own remorse, locked into its own grief, locked into its own evil intent, would such a spirit reflect and review its life? I think not. They would be otherwise preoccupied.The ability to review our life is an ability that only comes when we have reached a certain point in development. There are those in our world that assuredly would seek contact with us to help us to review our life but yet we are not all always ready to review our life at that point in time. Therefore, there are spirits who persevere, who seek to establish contact with those who do not seek to review their life, to enable them to do such a thing, to enable them to reflect and review their life. But it is not necessarily something that comes, as I say, immediately upon death, it is sometimes the case with some spirits whereby it comes much later, yes. To review your life is the act of a self-aware soul. Those who have no self-awareness have found no need to reflect upon their life or review their life. And is this not so in the case of souls who inhabit your world? There are those who do not reflect, who do not review their lives or their actions. Why should they suddenly start to when they enter the spirit land? Yet conditions are brought to bear, opportunities are brought to bear whereby they may in time undertake this task, this awareness, when they are ready. Does this answer your question my friend?
