Seeing the Unseen, Part II, with Christopher Laprath

Summary

Psychic medium Christopher Laprath returns to New Thinking Allowed with Jeffrey Mishlove to describe how he 'sees the unseen,' perceiving clouds, shimmers, and attached entities in people's energetic fields. He shares stories of releasing Earthbound spirits, past-life imprints, haunted objects like a Civil War autopsy table, and even apparent time-space slips where people seem to jump universes. Throughout, he argues that being 'stuck' in belief systems, family patterns, and spirit agreements is the real thing the dead fear, and that letting go is the path to healing.

I see not just the body, but the energetic field. It's just something that my brain does. And I can tell when there's like something off, right? It's a little bit like spiritual limping. You know, when somebody in the physical body is limping, that's easy to see. But I see these. So, do you know the comic strip Charlie Brown? Yeah, of course. And the character Pigpen? No. Pigpen was the little kid that had the dust cloud around him all the time because he never took a bath. You know, he had that dust cloud around him. Okay. I remember Little Abner, the comic strip, and there was a character there named Joe Bitzvalk who had a cloud over his head. Okay, that's what I mean.
