James Van Praagh (Medium, Author) gives expert video advice on: What were the first signs of your psychic abilities?; How did you discover your psychic talent?; What's it like to communicate with the dead? and more...

Well, people…it is so funny…it's a falsehood that people that past over as a spirit know more than the living people on the earth. Not true always, if you are schmuck on the earth you are going to be schmuck when you passed over. That's the way it is. Your judgment is the same, your prejudice all that stuff remains the same. Your mindset remains the same too. But if you want to evolve and expand with your passing over you realized to start yourself up to the higher truth. The way it has been explained to me is this. When we pass out of the body and goes to that other dimension, they can see a little bit of the past and a little bit in the future. So, it is like taking a helicopter ride and you are looking down and you see the highway. Well, you can warn your loved one if there is going to be a traffic jam in the future here. If you go this road, try to go on the other route, it will be easier for you, so they can see a little bit ahead of you. Now they are not going to give you all the time to answer to the test because this is our schoolroom and we are going to take the test and learn our lessons and we have to pass, they love us so much that they want us to pass. So they can influence us that way to take a certain test. But they do as much as they can because they love us as much as they are allowed.
