The downside to antiques

[GMPRGJean]

Are you emotionally attached to any of your possessions and would never let go of those willingly? Spirits can feel the same way, and you may inadvertently bring one of theirs home in your next purchase at the antique store.

I experienced this many years ago when I collected tins and purchased a particularly lovely one at the local antique store. It had stamped metal designs on the sides and was quite colorful. I brought it home and placed it on a shelf in my bedroom whereupon I began to notice that I felt quite uncomfortable when I got close to that area of the room. The feeling would increase when I picked up the tin which was what led me to the conclusion that there was something wrong with it. For whatever reason, this tin had an entity attached to it and my impression was that it didn't like me owning the tin. And the feeling kept increasing like the entity was becoming impatient about the situation. This was before I knew much about how all that worked, so I ended up throwing the tin away to be rid of it. And sure enough, that solved the problem.

Possessions may not always be haunted by spirits but also can be infused with emotional energy, good or bad. I live in an old house and I know that two areas are infused with good emotional energy. One is a built-in, glassed cabinet in the corner of the dining room where when standing in front of it, one can feel positive energy from someone who really enjoyed that cabinet. Also, standing at the back door and looking out the window into the back yard, a wonderful homey feeling is infused in that area. Someone particularly enjoyed those areas of this home and must have spent a lot of time in front of the cabinet in the dining room and looking out the back door. Conversely, I have gone into other homes and buildings where they are infused with negative energy.

How receptive are physical things to sound and emotions? In his book, "Messages From Water," Dr. Masaru Emoto shows us photographs of water crystals after they are frozen. He first subjects the water to various types of human emotions or music. Then he freezes it and photographs the frozen crystals. He has found that water which has experienced beautiful music or positive words and sounds undergoes a molecular change into harmonious geometrical forms when frozen. The molecular change from negative words or chaotic music results in ugly crystals. Thus, he has proven what he calls "Hado," meaning "wave" or "move," and that our daily language literally moves physical matter whether positively or negatively.

My husband's aunt who lives in Northern Indiana collects many antiques and dolls. Chinahead dolls, Schoenhauts, Raggedy Ann...Her collection may someday inhabit an entire doll museum. She has had activity surrounding these dolls and antiques. Most recently an antique rocking chair was moving back and forth on it's own like someone was sitting in it. She also experienced an extreme coldness-drop in temperature in the room the chair was in. Her dolls have also been found moved around on their own. One interesting book on the subject is POSSESSED POSSESSIONS by Ed Okonowicz.
