How do ghosts & spirits see us humans?

I mean spirits are just energy so we sense them, but how do they in turn see us?

Are we just energy to them or do they see us as solid beings?

Update:

Spirits of deceased loved ones can send us messages through a medium, so how can spirits know where we are?

They don't have a physical brain so how do they know how to contact us?

    You make a good point there. Heres one more. If spirits are just energy, what keeps that energy from simply dispersing?

    I mean, how can mere energy float around, still in the form of a person? It can't.

    Assuming you solve the problem of this strange unmeasurable energy that clings together and has intelligence, how could it possible pass any intelligible message to a medium?

    Could ghost stories just be made up? Could mediums just be fakes?

    I would say yes.

    From my experiences many of them do see us, there's many different aspects on how they all work. Residual type don't see us, it's basically trapped energy that plays over and over again same time or day. Ghost are basically spirits trapped in some of the lower dimensions of earth, the ones that walk our plane can see us, others ghost just above that dimension can hear or feel when we tune into that dimension but not see us unless they come down from that one dimension. Other higher dimensional spirits again can hear and feel what we feel when we like tune in, there's many ways of tuning in, and prayer is one way. Them spirits higher dimensional can travel to see us or visit.

    Since we all were created spirit before we were guided to our bodies to be redeemed, we have a spiritual mind that works in conjunction with our physical brain. This is one reason why we are here temporally to gain and learn to build our spirits full of knowledge through physical and spiritual experiences. Why some of us are old spirits, and some newly created spirits, and why the old have more knowledge than the new. Mediums are basically old spirits, they have been around the block before.

    all and sundry is scared and disturbed through that which they do no longer understand or that which looks to threaten their survival. we are an extremely survival-orientated species, regardless of having quite progressed reasoning competencies. there's a plethora of advice available as we talk approximately ghosts and spirits, and a brilliant number of that's probable incorrect or a minimum of quite biased. many all and sundry is confident, rightly or wrongly, that ghostly encounters might desire to sign the presence of a few darkish rigidity, in step with hazard even a demon (although if that's doubtful what that truly potential). And that's this uncertainty which provokes fears. concept is useful and there is ever-increasing info interior the conventional strategies that spiritis and ghosts are quite genuine. although if or no longer the info is genuine is virtually beside the factor. it somewhat is the ideals and the reactions they galvanize that are inflicting those thoughts.

    There is no one that knows this answer for sure, I will give you MY OPINION and that is all it is.

    Given that everything has energy it is likely they can detect us through our personal electrical system.

    However I am also a believer that a spirit is essence of a person. It is their personality, mind and soul. This can explain how they can communicate with us, everything stores energy and imprints. They remember so to speak how a person in the area felt by the energy vibes they get. These vibes give the spirit a vision of what may be there and who they might be. A wife always remembers her husbands touch, and a child always remembers a mothers presence I believe this is true in the spirit world also.

    spirits can see the same as you do. I have no idea how this works. It never occurred to me to wonder, to be honest. All I know is that it doesn't require a physical body to be able to truly see. Love is love and loved ones simply follow their hearts. They see you because 9 times out of ten, they're around you all the time watching over you. Most of the time, they're the reason someone feels such a strong need to seek out a medium. It's a nudge from the other side. Often times the spirit has been trying to get your attention but has failed, but like you, many people don't believe, and so they put it off as "seeing things", or "hallucinating".

    One thing I also know is that spirits find mediums because mediums are like lights in the dark to them. Ghosts are simply drawn to mediums, like bugs to lights.

    Also travel and time don't work the same way on the other side, they don't hvae the same sense of it. My angels give me this sense that time and physical travel belongs to the physical world. An angel can be in ten different places at the same time because on the other side they are not tied down by a physical body and they're not tied down by time. 50 years passes here but it's like a blink of an eye over there. And they tend to travel by thought. I'm told thought is far more powerful than people give it credit for. Intention is a powerful thing.

    That is a really good question. I know that they can see us, but how? We are connected to those that left us psychically. We can sense them around and they can send messages to us the same way. The space and time that we live in is an illusion, our own physical illusion. Once we leave our body we don't have to live under the same scientific rules as the physical world. It would probably be beyond our comprehension how it is done.

    We, ourselves, are not physical beings. We are just visitors in this world. We belong on the astral or higher dimensions.

    Do you want the scientific part?

    Particles/waves often appear and disappear. You can never see an electron or anything similar. -Quantum physics/modern physics.

    So.... to make things simple... less of the nerd-ish talk.

    They see us as we see ourselves and others see us.

    Meaning they see what we see, except more. Just like our ears...... our eyes can't see Everything. As our ears can't hear everything.

    Source(s): If a spirit has a connection to you.... you will be easy to find. That is why it's not wise to keep communicating with an evil spirit. By the way, the brain is only a filter and a supporter.

    Since spirits started out as physical beings at some point-my hypothesis-they can probably detect us much better than we can them. It would seem that solid mass is easier to see than spirit- perhaps that holds true for them as well. While they seem scary to us, we may be an annoyance to them.

    Edit- I feel sorry for the 'thumbs-downers'.

    I'd say they probably see us as big solid figures...

    just as we are
