Lingering / Wandering Spirits & Mormon Experiences - Page 5

It is evident from the scriptures that there is a level of interaction with the dark side and those who did not keep their first estate, but I do not recall any meetings with those who already passed on from this life and somehow lingered? I would like referrences if possible.

We know that the spirit world is here on this earth after all the earth is meant to be alive itself so in that case it has a spirit. If the spirit world is here then of course we will have now and again some kind of interaction with them. I recall I read somewhere that the founding fathers appeared to Wilfred Woodruff and asked him for there work to be done and that they had been waiting for it to be done. I would think that once we understand the law and nature of spirits and what governs them and we also reach a level of worthiness then we will as Joseph Smith had would live a life with one foot in this world and the other in the spirit world. I got most of this info from The teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith. He also states that one ignorance in this world was that man didnt understand the law and nature of spirits and what governs them.
We are spirits going through a mortal experience not mortals going through a spiritual experience. Because of this we need to try and remember our spirit life when we do so we will be schooled in learning more about them and ourselves. This is the nature of spirits then when we learn this we will begin to learn what governs them.

Here's another experience with the spirits.

A former GF and I were walking through the church (it was my responsibility to lock it up at night). We got to the Relief Society Room I had just got done checking the windows when I started hearing two elderly people start talking about something. At first I thought I was the only one hearing them, then my gf asked what are they talking about. I yelled, "Church Security". The voices stopped. We looked at each other with some look of puzzlement.

If you want a page number look it up yourself?

And if you do not believe that man cannot interact with spirits then try reading your scriptures I'm sure you will find many examples in there. Also read books written from modern day prophets as well, I'm not here to do that for you, do your own research I'm not sad enough to look up every detail for you.

Joseph Smith has alot to say if YOU look it up.

To tell you the truth while her and I were quiet, neither one of us could make out what they were talking about, it was kind of mummbled. It would of been nice if we could of made out what they said. Knowing my luck, it was probably important.

Usually it is normal that a page number in the very least is provided so that the person reading your words can look it up. Better yet you could present the quote as it saves time and effort. Can you imagine looking up every single statement that someone makes just to verify?

Next time, if there is a next time, remember the story of Eli.
