Trick or treat! I mean, we all know after Halloween it\u2019s a sneeze away from the Holidays. This year, on November 6th Disney releases <em>A Christmas Carol<\/em> with Jim Carrey. Yes we all know the story, we\u2019ve seen the movies but this is in Disney 3D and Imax 3D and this time&#8230;at least for me, I\u2019m looking at it with different spectacles. Get it! Spectacles?! 3D! Anyway&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>As a kid, I was a little frightened by the ghosts donning chains and eerie voices that appeared to our unlikely protagonist, Scrooge, but after reading so many articles and posts about spirit guides and myself having had a few interesting experiences with the spiritual realm, I see these \u201cghosts\u201d of Christmas past, present and future as less of a haunted Halloween mansion attraction and more of a karmic, generous offering from the universe to our tortured Ebenezer.<\/p>\n<p>Looking at it now (and soon in 3d!&#8230;I can\u2019t wait, I love 3D), I see that Scrooge was on a run of bad karma and suffering for it. These \u201cghosts\u201d were really spirit guides or angels, depending on your interpretation. Had he not been lucky enough to receive these divine visits and had he not been open to them (Was Scrooge a medium of sorts!?) then he would have gone on living a fairly unhappy and uninteresting life but with a lot of divine intervention from the various time zones, he reconnects to his spirit and brings lots of Christmas spirit and cheer into the lives of others. I\u2019ve heard of a couple stories in my family where someone was visited by a saint or spirit sending a message or even physically protecting the person from harm. I\u2019m wondering now in this spiritual season, how many of us have had an experience, whether we believe it was haunted or helpful, that somehow impacted us in a life changing or at least attitude changing way? Now don\u2019t Bah humbug me, let\u2019s hear it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spirit guides or
