What If It's Just My Imagination?-Validating Your Experience Without Doubt

 What If It's Just My Imagination?-Validating Your Experience Without Doubt

One of the most common, and most human, questions I hear is this:

"What if it's just my imagination?"

Here's what important to know: Imagination is not the opposite of truth-it's often the doorway to it.

When a loved one reaches across from the other side, they don't come with a spotlight or a loudspeaker. They arrive gently. Through the very channels your mind and heart already use to process love, memory, and meaning. That includes your imagination.

So is it "just" your imagination?

Maybe.  Perhaps your imagination is how they're reaching you.


A Story of Doubt That Turned Into Certainty

I once worked with a client named Daniel who came to a session feeling deeply skeptical-not of me, but of himself.

"I keep dreaming about my dad," he said.  "He's always fixing something-a car, the porch step.  He was like that in life-always tinkering.  I tell myself it's just my brain holding on.

During our session, a strong presence came through-practical, no-nonsense individual. I described a sensation of grease on the hands, and a phrase that kept repeating: "It's got good bones."

Daniel froze.

"That's what he used to say about every project.  Even when things were broken, he'd say, 'It's got good bones."  I haven't remembered that for years!

There were other things that came through that Daniel clearly understood were from his dad.  In that moment, something shifted.  It wasn't "was it just my imagination?" anymore.  It became "What if my imagination is how he's still teaching me?"

And because of that, spirit often comes through in ways that feel familiar to you.  Like a thought, a dream, a sudden knowing.  They are using the language of your relationship: a song, repeated numbers, a smell or a symbol that only you would understand.

I'll say it again: Your imagination may very well be one of your greatest spiritual tools!
