James Van Praagh On Fear Of Talking To Dead People

Can speaking to the dead be dangerous?

I think that when people talk about the dead it might be dangerous or it's very fearful or it's scary, or the dead, the dark, all that. I think it's from a religious point of view. I think that's really where it's from. I am more afraid of the living than of the dead. No one can hurt you if you don't let them. If you give away your power, guess what? They can affect you. But in life too, this physical earth, if you cross the street during a red light, you can be hit. You have got to protect yourself. You've got to me mindful. You've got to be aware of what's going on. There are many levels of spirits that are very evolved and those who are unevolved. In Los Angeles and the world there are many people that are evolved living. In Hollywood, I know a lot of people who are unevolved. Lots of producers and television people who have no clue. So, you run the gamut everywhere.

Can an evil spirit possess me?

Its extremely difficult for evil spirits to enter into the minds of positive people because of the radiant energy that surrounds them. Evil spirits must shun the light of positivity are otherwise run the risk of being cast into oblivion. If a person is a good decent person who is opening themselves up who is developing themselves, and they do the right type of work which is a meditation of love, and put themselves in that energy of love and light, you have nothing to worry about. But if you go around doing ouija boards, opening yourself up psychically. Whatever you are going to do unprotected? You are asking for trouble.

What if someone uses his or her psychic gifts for evil?

If you want to use psychic gifts badly or evilly sure. And guess what? It's all energy. What you put back, you will get back. So it's like a mirror. What you send out, you are going to get right back. And whether you want to call it karma, Law of Attraction, whatever you want to call that, every single person creates, creates, creates. We are right now creating, creating. As you are watching this, creating with your thoughts. And guess what? It's like a slate, a blank slate and we are creating that with our thoughts. And you have to look at that when it is done. Are you going to create a pretty picture or a very ugly picture. If you send out bad thoughts, bad energy to people, you are going to have that experience yourself. You are going to experience whatever you send out. OK. So that's what it is about. That's more scary than any spirit I had ever had to deal with.
