Hi, Tiong Ho Poh,
If spirits are able to see us and to understand our language, surely we can communicate with them.
Who says they can and we can't?
We have a fair idea that early man could communicate quite effectively by telepathy.
Today, many children still demonstrate telepathic powers that defy conventional explanation.
Pet owners will tell you that their pets (dogs, cats and parrots especially) know when they are coming home - even if they are late or early. Scamp has never shown this ability but Chap, my latest owner, certainly seems to know when I am about to get home.
You see, it is not about 'language' - it is about a universal or mutual awareness. It is about being a part of the whole.
As a part of the whole, you can be aware of events that could reflect upon yourself without any form of language.
Just as a pain requires no language - just the experience.
The Old Coot
