Welcome to part two of our interview with Claire Broad, author of the book, What the Dead

Are Trying to Teach Us.

My next question is not to, in any way, say that someone who is schizophrenic is hearing

voices of demonic spirits or anything of that nature.

It can be very much just a mental condition and things not firing correctly in our brain.

That's right.

But aside from that, when it's not a mental condition that someone is suffering from, just as the dead are trying to teach us lessons,

and there are guides that are seemingly coming and going and some that are

staying with us throughout our time on the earth. Do you believe that there are also spirits out

there that are essentially trying to disrupt the learning, just as in life there's kids that

will disrupt the class? Are there other entities out there that have more of a nefarious intent than those with the good intent that are helping guide us?

Well, if I believe that consciousness is just a continuum, which I do from my own personal experiences,

then I'm guessing that that continuum goes on in all

its guises. I have to say in my own personal life, after 23 years of working in this way

and practising, I've never bumped up against it. But I think that maybe because I'm in a healthy, well-rounded mental state of being,

and so therefore I'm not in alignment with that.

I can imagine that if somebody isn't particularly well,

and it's not actually mental health that dictates this. It's more of a, I would say,

an innate part of your personality. If you've had a bad experience in life and you choose the

dark path, for instance, you know, if you turn to anger, if you turn to vengeance, if you turn to

revenge, all those kinds of things. I think

they lower, they're lower, what I would say, lower frequency emotions. They're what drag you down.
