Hello Linda,

Oh yes, you have been communicating with your son, and in more ways than you even realize. The images of him are the most vivid, but you're experiencing more subtle communication, regularly.

You should read Raymond Moody's Reunions in which he describes the psychomanteum. He has people look into a mirror in a darkened room where they have just a hint of light and can't see anything distinctly in the dimly lit mirror. Put on the ball cap, watch the mirror, and think about your son. Communicate with him, even if you don't receive any communication back. Ask questions and wait.

Understand that we're not in control of after-death communications. Even when the receptive attitude is induced in therapy, neither the person nor the therapist has any influence over the after-death communication. The deceased has all the control. That means that you may not see anything in the mirror until it is in your best interests, as your son judges, to see something. And if you don't see anything for a while, it doesn't mean he won't communicate--it's just that it's not time, considering things you won't know.

Let us know what happens.

Craig
