I was really pleased to read the response that came in after my last article about little discussion groups around Sweden. I found it really interesting! For me you are like the forgotten people and yet so important with what you are attempting to do. Without people like you I would not be where I am today, you were an important part in the beginning of my development.
There is also another section of the public that feel that they need a place to go to; parents of children whose children are experiencing all kinds of strange phenomenon that cannot be explained. Many of these parents do not have any point of reference irrespective if they believe in the world of spirit or not. There are so many children that turn to their parents with questions such as: “Daddy, who is that man in my room”, “Why am I not feeling good in my room?”, “Why am I seeing grandmother?” or “Mommy, children come to play with me sometimes, can you see them?” This can be frightening both for parents and child alike.
I receive requests for help every week, but I just being one person cannot travel all over Sweden. However, I am seriously thinking of creating a network or some kind of course that can help will give some indication of how parents and children can learn to manage this in a better way. I as a child and a teenager experienced these things myself and had no one that could help me, give me explanations or teach me or my parents how to manage it.
There can also be psychological reasons behind these phenomena. It is not always the meaning for these experiences to be eradicated or cleared out, because very often they carry a message about something either within the child or the adults that needs to be addressed. I can remember myself when I had these experiences as a kid. Some of these experiences could be really informative and useful. However, because of the family dynamic not always being in balance, there were occasions in my life when it was as if I had been stripped of the emotional protection that I would normally have. I was just an open door; anything or anyone could just walk in and create chaos or confusion. In the end I hardly knew who I was. It was as if I had lost my identity. It was almost like a living nightmare. I was like a sponge to other people’s unresolved issues and emotions, but I was not aware of its’ source. Sometimes spirit also came through and tried to offer me love and comfort, but to know the difference between the different energies or influences took me many years to understand.
This does not just happen with children, this also happens with many adults and I think this question now needs to be taken seriously, because people who find themselves in this situation it can be quite damaging. However, I do not have all the answers as yet. This question needs to be explored a little bit more. If there is a psychologist or a psychiatrist out there who is interested to collaborate with me and set something up to teach people how to manage these phenomenon rather than trying to drive it away and deny it, I would be very interested.
It is time to find a solution to this so people can learn to be a little bit more responsible about how they handle it and learn how they can communicate with their children regarding these matters. I would be interested to set up a national program along with others who feel the same as I. If a solution can be found then that could become the helping hand that these children and parents so badly need. I am personally going to start tackling this problem with a series of lectures at my course centre in Fanthyttan. During these lectures I would like to offer insights by sharing my experiences and my own thoughts, so that both the children and the parents who find themselves in this dilemma can walk out of the darkness and into the light and find a new beginning.
I will be interested in hearing your comments on this, because I think this is a question that can no longer be ignored.

I can se that problem Terry, and i think, just as you, that it’s really important that this people can get help. ( and perhaps myself to).
My oldest daughter has a LOT of imaginary friend, the first one stayed for quite a long time, my daughter thought that it was her big sister. Only because the imaginary friend told her that. Even her kindergarden told us that we have to tell her imaginary friends to stay at home. But i Know that her father is open to the spirit world, and I guess that she is to.
If you have to expand your business, there is a house next to our that is for sale, an old school here in täby (Örebro) just a few minutes away from the airport. ( not to close that it disturbs). I Know that it’s a bit away from fanthyttan, but perhaps you have some friends that can run that for you? It’s a beutiful school and a beutiful house. But it is so big that you almost have to run some business in it. Today it is a bed and breakfeast.
Well, i wish you a great weekend and that you will get some great response that will help your work further.
