A psychic who has reportedly been in touch with the deceased since she was a child reveals a recurring theme among spirits: a profound sense of regret over their earthly lives.
Jill M Jackson, a medium hailing from Mississippi, shared with the Daily Mail that spirits frequently express remorse for adhering too rigidly to religious doctrines during their time on Earth.
According to Jackson, these spirits, now residing in what is often referred to as heaven or the afterlife, feel constrained by the limited perspectives imposed by modern religious beliefs, which led them to unfairly judge those of different faiths.
“They wish they had embraced the positive aspects of their religious teachings, recognizing that while there is a Creator or a higher consciousness, it’s not about control or fear,” Jackson explained.
She further claimed that spirits have communicated telepathically with her, expressing regret over having taken life too seriously before passing away.
“A recurring message is that humans should embrace playfulness more,” Jackson noted. “In their life review, they see how seriously they took life and regret not seizing more moments to simply have fun, laugh, and play.”
The psychic explained that all living beings – and even entire realms like the afterlife – operate at different energy levels, which she described as giving off a ‘vibration’ or ‘vibrational frequency.’
She noted that the ‘childlike wonder’ of youth was closer to the frequency spirits attain in the afterlife, while feelings of anger, negativity and fear caused the human consciousness to move farther away from this spiritual realm of enlightenment.
Jill Jackson has said she began seeing spirits right after birth and has been able to communicate with them since the age of 12
‘It’s very different than what Hollywood portrays it to be,’ Jackson explained. ‘We have been programmed to think about heaven being up in the sky, way away from us. But in reality, our loved ones are [just] in a higher dimension than where we are.
‘It’s truly inches away from where we are, and that’s why mediums are able to tap into that realm at various times, because the veil has thinned in that moment.’
She added that psychic mediums train how to raise their consciousness level – their personal vibrational frequency – by quieting their minds and clearing personal thoughts to reach the state of peace and enlightenment where the spirits of the deceased now reside.
‘That’s why they’re able to see their loved ones and other people’s loved ones.’
As for the messages these loved ones are looking to pass on, Jackson said each encounter is different. Some spirits only telepathically send vague images or impressions, she claimed, while others provide more detail of their intentions.
Jackson recalled conducting an audience reading – a large gathering where the medium allows any spirit to send them messages – where she envisioned the spirit of an audience member’s grandfather.
She noted that the spirit would not speak to her, even though she had been telepathically asking him to send a message for their grandson.
‘I finally said to the person in the audience, “He is so quiet,”‘ Jackson recalled. ‘And the guy started laughing and said it was like pulling teeth getting him to talk at all [while he was alive].’
Jackson said that spirits from the afterlife often appear in the mind’s eye as a shadowy figure that is see-through but still recognizable as a person
However, when the psychic said a spirit was looking to be very ‘chatty,’ the conversation would eventually drift toward specific regrets the individual was hoping their loved ones would avoid.
‘A lot of times, if they were highly, highly religious in that way, their message when they’re talking to their loved ones is about learning to be non-judgmental, and learning that we can have a connection to Creator, a higher consciousness, God, Goddess, whatever your term is, without feeling the need of this control dynamic that is rooted in the energy of division and fear.’
Jackson was recognized by the group Best American Psychics in both 2015 and 2016 as the ‘Psychic of the Year’ based on their review of her ‘integrity, accuracy and meaningful service within the psychic and spiritual community.’
The psychic medium explained to the Daily Mail that her encounters are often random. She might be talking with someone when a spirit related to that person appears in her mind’s eye, often trying to get Jackson’s attention to deliver a message to their loved one.
Jackson compared her experiences to those of well-known mediums such as John Edward and Theresa Caputo, saying she does the same thing – connecting with loved ones to pass on insights from another plane of existence.
She told the Daily Mail she began seeing spirits in this realm as a young child, but she could not hear or understand them until she was 12 years old.
That was when her deceased grandmother appeared, floating above her bed in a healthy and full form, reassuring Jackson that she was free from pain in the afterlife.
Jill Jackson has twice been named ‘Psychic of the Year’ and has spent years studying communication with the deceased
‘Throughout my entire life, I would see random people walking around, and I would be even out in public, and I would see [them],’ Jackson claimed.
‘They look like shadow figures, they’re a little bit translucent, but I can still see exactly what they look like. And then I would also start seeing them in my mind’s eye, which is considered the third eye.’
Jackson noted that while psychic mediums often go through special training in order to control their abilities and manage when they do and do not tap into this higher spiritual realm, everyone has some level of psychic ability hidden inside.
Calling it a form of intuition or a ‘sixth sense,’ she said examples of everyday psychic powers include suddenly thinking of someone who then calls, having prophetic dreams, or being able to sense positive or negative energy in a room.
Jackson said children’s energy levels from their joyful wonder make it more common for them to see and communicate with souls in the afterlife.
Further, the psychic noted that the realm where these spirits travel to after death is not split into what we know as heaven and hell. In fact, Jackson – along with some people who have had near-death experiences – believe there is no painful dimension like hell at all.
They have described the afterlife as a vast, loving field of light they enter after reviewing and learning from all the experiences of their time on Earth. And it just may be that their trip down memory lane is what solidifies their greatest joys and those regrets Jackson claims they want others to so desperately avoid.
