An Echo of Spirit is a term that I use as a tool to give others the visual ability to perceive how the universe communicates.
Everyone of us has the ability to perceive this communication and we do so through our various senses. I believe that every physical being is intuitive but in to different degrees. I believe we are attuned to different degrees based on different factors: Belief systems, Trust factors, Fear, Development and practice.
It is my understanding that what causes a feeling of disconnection after death are the feelings of disempowerment because we so often fill voids with attachmens to others or limit ourselves to only one outcome or answer. Attachments equal blindness and living an illusion of limited possibilities. Because more often that none, many feel they are not receiving messages or communication from those who have left physical life, because they attach a limited belief on what that message would feel, sound, or look like. Often they will only accept a certain sign or information from a certain person due to their deep attachments they seek to fill a void. This is when typically someone will contact a psychic or a medium. They are looking for closure to fill a perceived void.
In my view most people that are seeking confirmation that their loved ones are still connected, have an attachment to their asking which leaves them in a place of limitedness. In truth what they seek is right in front of them but they are not able to recognize this because what they do not realize is that their mind has been embedded consistently with thoughts of disconnection either by their own thought process or society; therefore, the Reticulating Activation System of the brain is filtering out all things relating to connection. It does so because that is where they consistently go in thought: I am disconnected. I don't see. I am alone. I have no answers.
The problem is they were expecting an attached an answer or a sign in another form so they were unable to perceive what is right in front of them. Thus, they feel defeated, lost, empty, and alone.
Please remember as we send out our requests to the universe, it receives our signal and sends a response back to us in the form of an echo. The Universe repeats back to us what we say vibrationally. "I want connection to my loved one who has crossed over". Somewhere out there in the Quantum field of limitless possibility is an abundant ocean continually expanding which holds with all of our memories and thoughts and like "sonar" it's gently roll it's waves back to us in many forms.
Perhaps a blue butterfly appears out of nowhere right in front of you. It was your loved one's favorite thing but you did not see it because you were looking for connection in the form of another package. You had an attachment to what you would accept as a sign or communication.
Perhaps then you say to yourself, we (physical beings) are not connected to each other or the Universe (Spirit/God). The Universe replies by not sending any other information as per your belief and so you begin to "choose" to feel sorrow, lack, and disbelief as you contine to search for outside sources to fill a perceived void.
What would it take for you to " awaken" from your spiritual amnesia and trust the infinite power that resides within you?
