Introduction
All around us are spirits of varying levels of evolution and of moral and
intellectual development, who regularly influence us through their suggestions
and intuitions, be they positive or negative, depending on the nature of the spirit.
This is because the material world in which we live operates in a continuous
interaction with the spiritual realm that coexists alongside side it. The beings of both worlds are able to
influence and affect one another.
Spirits are
able to influence one another by way of thought, first, in the role of
thought as the mechanism behind spirit communication, and second, because the
innermost (even subconscious) thoughts of any spirit determine the nature and
quality of its own vibrations, or energies, which ultimately affect those
around the spirit and, likewise, attract others of similar character, ideas, emotions,
etc. This influence can be positive or negative, depending on the nature of the
spirit who is exercising the influence, and when a negative influence
becomes persistent and directed, it takes on the form of what is
referred to by Spiritists, as
obsession.
