1. Can you decide when you are able to see the living? Is there something like a switch within you that you can turn off & on for viewing us (the living). It is as I mentioned to you before, viewing the 'living' is a matter of traveling to a place, a place of this time or that time. No switch, just a matter of visiting or not visiting. As always it depends on the being. Some view a distant overall view.  Like watching an anthill to you. But you need to understand that unlike yourself, certain beings have a greater understanding of those ants. Some take a more personal interest. I myself am limited to a select few. You are now one of them, Jim.

 2. What are the ways in which you replenish your energy when depleted? In other words, how do you feed? Do you draw energy from the air, appliances, or do you take emotional energy from a distressed or otherwise living individual? Is it hard to resist taking energy or life substance from the living and do you crave it? And when you do take it from the living, does it affect the person emotionally and or physically?  -Beings that do require a replenishing of energy have different preferences for different beings.  You speak of the living...we're all living, Jim.  But I understand your meaning.  Yes, to all of the above.  Within 'your' world, other sources such as the sun, the earth, it's core, atmospheric / weather conditions, especially storms, stones, trees, water, animals and yes humans. It's endless.  Electrical appliances are a short term but quick and easy source.  As are batteries.  Humans are affected by the taking of emotional energy.  Usually not severely but there are times where this can lead to mental and physical illness. (Humans do this to each other as well.)  In fact, all illness is related to this very thing.  Viruses for example, as you know are living.  Did you ever stop to realize that they are entities?  As is the medication that you take.  You are not as separate from beings other than your own as you may think.

3. Do you have restrictions? Are there things that you can not do (besides the obvious) and or are there parameters you must stay within? -There are many things I cannot do.  And many places I cannot go.  That is all I have to respond to this question.

4. Can you see me "Jim Eaton", and if so can you tell me something about myself? Maybe even something personal that would normally not be known? When you look in on me, please let your presence be known.  -I cannot see you as you wish me to see you.  I cannot tell you of things like your unique freckles.  I have "looked in on you for a while now."  I experience many 'glimpses' of time places. For example:  Green smooth shiny walls, a narrow valley surrounded by hills with a small road.  These things mean nothing to me.  Stirring near you is a mounting energy, of orange, red, yellow and white.  It turns within it's self, churning, growing. I can tell you more about your 'hummmmm' than your hair. I will make my presence known to you by your sense of touch. Through changes in vibration and temperature, you will feel this, not too unlike the touch of another human.  You do have the opportunity to view me.  Do keep your eyes open, I move very fast!  You'll know when I'm with you. 

5. What do you know about The Light? Are you aware of The Light and can you move on at anytime? The light is everywhere. You cannot see it with your physical eyes (as you are used to seeing) but you will have glimpses of it with your eyes closed.  You can also feel it. I know you have experienced this.  The light you are referring to in 'crossing over' is simply a path, not unlike the filaments of light I mentioned to you in your previous questions.  Moving on?  Oh yes, one is always able to move on ... and on and on they do.

Lastly:
Is there anything else you would like (or be willing) to share with us for our research? I may not have seemed too willing to you this time.  Much of what you asked is related to your previous questions.  Other information, I simply will not tell you.  Always enter with sincerity and awareness.  Keep learning to change the way you think.  More will be coming to you.
