How Spirit Uses Technology to Get Our Attention

How Spirit Uses Technology to Get Our Attention

Spirit adapts with the times. Decades ago, they flickered candles or moved clocks; now, they might light up your phone or shuffle your playlist to “your song” at the perfect moment. Love doesn’t resist technology—it uses it.

One of my sitters, a young man named Josh, shared a story that still gives me goosebumps. His brother had passed suddenly, and one morning, Josh woke up to find his brother’s photo as the wallpaper on his phone. “I never set that,” he said. “It just appeared.” During his reading, his brother laughed, “I told him to stop ignoring me! This got his attention.” That sense of humor, that spark of personality—it was exactly who his brother had been in life.

Spirit communicates through energy, and technology is simply another form of it. I’ve heard countless stories: alarm clocks ringing at the moment a loved one is mentioned, smart speakers turning on to play a song that holds deep meaning, text messages that inexplicably reappear from years ago.

My son has come to me through a song that I associate only with him. He's also turned lights off and on. One time I received an Instagram message that was clearly directed to his account notifying him that one of his friends had joined Instagram, yet it showed up in my account!!

Skeptics may dismiss it as coincidence, but those who experience it know it feels different. There’s an unmistakable feeling—a sacred “knowing” that something beyond logic has occurred. It isn't your imagination either! It's really them reaching out to you.

Spirit uses what’s available, meeting us where we live our modern lives. They don’t need words or physical presence to say, “I’m still here.” They’ll use light, electricity, code, or sound if it helps remind us that love is eternal.

If you’ve experienced strange “glitches” that felt more like grace than error, consider that Spirit may be speaking your digital language. And if you’d like to explore that connection more deeply, I’d love to help you understand the message behind the signs. Visit aperfectsoul.com to schedule a session.
