Increasing Your Orb Awareness
By Rev. John Sullivan, NST  
A human being has a bad habit of looking and finding what they want in an article, book or picture.  We need to be a critical investigator and not allow our impulses to distract us from what our purpose is, and that is to investigate the evidence and come to a conclusion based on common sense.

Some people believe that all orbs are spirit just wandering around to let us know they exist.  We, as Spiritualists, know that spirits exist and show themselves in meditation, dreams, as well as through demonstrations by mediums.   The question of the day is; would you as spirit, float around as a ball of light or would you be more direct in contacting those you knew on the earth plane?

Picture #1 has an orb to the right at the edge of the frame against the wall.  If you magnify the picture, you will find the same pattern, which exists in the "orb' on the ceiling.  This is a reflection of the same "orb' which exits on the ceiling to the left as in picture #2.  The ceiling is not flat but an A frame ceiling.  Thus the reflection of light from the windows that are behind us will bounce light off of the white ceiling "orbs' onto the opposite wall.  This can be clearly seen once again in picture #2.

Here picture #2 clearly defines the reflection of the ceiling "orbs', which are in fact mechanical devices inserted in the ceiling.  Notice how they reflect the so-called orbs or in this case a round reflection on the wall.

The more photos of the room the orbs appear in, the more conscious you will be as an investigator.  Notice the window light and its direction shiny objects on the floor walls even doorknobs.  Are there any mirrors or glass, which are reflecting either window or electric light?  Be an investigator!  Don't jump to conclusions!

Reverend Kathy Rotino sent me Picture #3 with the following explanation.  "As you can see there is an orb on my sleeve that I cannot explain away.  It was taken last night at the Elks club, no lamps or windows or anything physical that I can figure would cause it."

Let us look at what we can see in the picture itself.  There is a light on the wall above them.  Are there other lamps on the opposite walls?  Light bouncing off the camera, glass or other shiny objects like a Christmas tree ball could create this illusion.  Is the lamp on the wall bouncing light off of the camera lens?

Without knowing the items on the walls and in the rest of the room, we cannot make a conclusion as to the validity of the orb.  If you were a spirit orb, would you show up on the sleeve of someone or near the heart or face area of their body?  Finally notice how the orb overlaps the brown sleeve and onto the black screen of the fireplace.  For me to come to a conclusion I would need more information about the room and what's in it.  Happy hunting!
