Paranormal Q & A
Q: My husband and I have been together for 8 years now and
on almost a daily basis we look at a digital clock and it
reads an 11:11. Do you know if this is something of
significance or is it just a coincidence?
A: This is a phenomenon that has received a great deal of
attention and discussion over the past several years. For
an in-depth understanding of number sequences, I would
recommend a study of numerology. Each number has a
vibrational meaning, and seeing double, triple or quadruple
digits is significant, especially in relation to the actual
digits that are being repeated.
Eleven is a "master number'. Metaphysically, it represents
the transformation of the physical, 3-D, into the Divine,
or the I AM presence. The 11:11 is said to be a code that
activates the genetic memory within us of the human race's
transformation to a higher plane of existence. It
represents the evolution of the soul. Seeing 11:11 is a
message that you are at a portal or opening into another
dimension or frequency. It represents the beginning of a
new level or phase in your soul's growth. When I see the
number 11:11, I ask myself, "What is my awareness focused
on right now? What do I wish to manifest?" The number 11
reminds us that we are Light Workers and we are being asked
to be aware of the awakening of our spirit selves and to
share that light and knowledge with others. The next time
you see 11:11, imagine that the universe has at that very
moment, opened a door for you. What are you showing the
universe, and what is it showing you?

Spirit Messages Through the Computer
My soulmate and I were together for over 8 years before
he died. He loved computers and worked on them diligently
every day. His son and my daughter had a daughter together
and she was our only granddaughter we had together. They
were very close to each other, and he would spoil her
every chance he got. He decided to make a computer for
her to have for her own. He was working on it and had
just finished putting it all together right before he
died. He died the day before her birthday, and she was
devastated, as was I. When we came home from the funeral,
the computer he made for her was on. I didn't think so
much about it at the time, so I just shut it down and
forgot it. The next morning at exactly 10:30, that
computer came on again, and stayed on until I shut it
down. For the next two months, every morning at 10:30,
that computer came on by itself. Everyone said it was set
to come on, and knowing a bit about computers, I went
through the whole system looking for where it was set; I
even went into the BIOS, where they are usually set. I
found nothing indicating that it was set. Our grand-
daughter spent a lot of time with me after her pappaw
died, and she always worried that he was okay. I kept
asking for a sign, and one night we were watching a movie
together, and as clear as a bell, we heard his voice
talking in the movie, and we both started laughing and
crying, knowing he was letting us know he was okay. After
that, the computer never came on by itself anymore. She
now has the computer at her house, and it still doesn't
come on unless someone turns it on. I believe that my
soulmate is always with us, and I believe this was his
way of letting us know.

Dear Sandy:
Computers, by their very nature, are a great tool for
energies from the other dimensions to transmit messages.
It is common for electrical appliances, such as
televisions, telephones, radios and computers to be used
as a communication tool for spirit and why not? It seems
to be that electronic or electrical media would be easier
for an 'energy' to speak through than some of the other
common methods of spirit contact: table tipping,
apparitions, etc. It especially makes sense that your
soulmate would choose a computer as his medium to speak
with you based on the special meaning it had. I would
imagine that once his EVP (voice) message came through
loud and clear, he no longer felt the need to speak to
you via that computer (especially since his turning on
the computer wasn't acknowledged with certainty as a
message from him). With his voice coming over the TV,
he knows his message reached you.
I am very happy to hear of your ongoing connection with
your soulmate.

Ouija's Origins Fittingly Murky
The origins and yes, even the very name 'Ouija', are as
murky and mysterious as the infamous talking board is
itself.
The Ouija board was patented in 1891 in the midst of the
Spiritualist fervor which took hold of the western world
in the mid-1800s. The original patent holders, inventor
Elijah J. Bond and two associates Charles W. Kennard and
William H. A. Maupin, based in Baltimore, Maryland, jumped
on the hugely popular fad of spirit communication with
this 'deluxe' talking board, considered to be a major
advancement to the table tipping and rudimentary spirit
writing implements of the time. Whether Bond actually
invented the board, or simply 'borrowed' the design can't
be proven.
Partner Kennard is said to have named the new board Ouija
after the Egyptian word for good luck. Ouija is actually
not Egyptian for good luck, but supposedly the board gave
Kennard this information during a session and thus the
name stuck. According to the Museum of Talking Boards,
the name more likely comes from the exotic Moroccan city
of Oujida, a word that evoked the mystery and mysticism
of the Middle East, which was in great vogue at the time.
Kennard's business partners nixed the production deal after
only a year and eventually appointed an employee, William
Fuld, to head the Ouija Novelty Company some ten years
later. So, as of 1901, Fuld and his brother Isaac began to
manufacture Ouija boards, very successfully in fact, and
Fuld's name replaced Kennard's in the public mind.
William Fuld, now having usurped Kennard as the father of
the Ouija board, had his own problems to deal with. A
bitter dispute developed between the two brothers and Isaac
was ousted, not only permanently dissolving the business
partnership, but causing a family feud that lasted for
generations. Isaac went on to develop his own lines of
talking boards and other items, while William soared to
great heights selling the Ouija board and other games.
Along the way, William Fuld created a new 'history' for
the Ouija board, claiming that he was its inventor. He is
responsible for the tale that the word Ouija comes from
the French word 'oui' and the German word 'ja', both mean-
ing yes. He purportedly made many outrageous claims through-
out his career, undoubtedly helping to keep media and
public interest in high gear. Perhaps he was getting his
come-uppance from the world of spirit when fell to his
death in 1927 in a freak accident while replacing a flag-
pole at his factory.

The Eternal Ouija Debate
In my many years working and studying in the metaphysical
and paranormal fields, I doubt if I've come across a topic
that incites more hot debate than the use of the Ouija
board. At the same time they are sold in the toy sections
of major department stores, otherwise balanced and logical
adults turn and hastily leave rooms in fear at the mere
sight of a Ouija board. There are 3 general areas of
thought on Ouija boards:
1 - that they are extremely dangerous, either being
inherently evil, or by acting as portals to evil
entities;
2 - they are dangerous if they are used without the proper
spiritual precautions and psychic protection or if used
with evil intent;
3 - they are harmless and have no powers other than
psychological reactions to them.
There is much debate also, as to whether using a Ouija does
in fact open a portal to the spirit world, or whether its
messages are a result of ideomotor responses of the
questioners. If the latter is the case, then the board and
planchette are merely tools, similar to a pendulum or even
a pen and paper in automatic writing, that channel our
subconscious thoughts or knowledge to the surface.
I tend to believe that Ouija boards can be useful tools in
mediumship, although I myself have never had a great degree
of qualifiable success with one. To be on the safe side, I
always say a prayers of protection when using a talking
board, and surround myself and the group in white light. My
most interesting Ouija experience was actually an indirect
one. Several years ago, I carried a few Ouija boards in my
metaphysical shop. A group of us were sitting in the tea
room one quiet Saturday near closing time and discussing
the nasty old ghost that inhabited the premises. One person
in the group expressed his doubts that a ghost actually
haunted the place and at that precise moment, there was a
loud clatter from the retail area in the next room. We ran
next door and to our surprise, the Ouija board which had
been on display for months on the top of a book display
shelf had fallen down, landing face down in the center of
the room. Apparently, this ghost wasn't about to wait for
anyone to actually open the package and sit down with the
board - he wanted to have his say right then and there!
