Connecting to those you never knew in this life

Q) Hi, I have a question for you. Is it possible for someone to feel a connection to, or feel the spirit of someone who has passed around them, who they never knew when alive - meaning the connection was only felt and experienced once the person had passed? And why would this happen, why would you only feel such a strong connection to someone only after they have passed? I know this may sound odd, but if you choose to answer this question, would you be able to channel Michael Jackson for the answer?

*Jason here. Well, MJ is available to answer this and is adding his voice, assent, and agreement with my Spirit Teachers, but I am preventing any further communications in this particular case out of respect for his still living relatives. It's just not something I want to get involved in. But given the Spiritual nature of this particular question I am putting it out there anyway.

From my Spirit Teachers and MJ.

In MJ's soft voice,

"Of course of course there's a connection... I've shared lives with many many people. Wonderful people. So have you! It's not anything to worry or be scared of. We love catching up to old friends, loved ones, people we knew in past lives. You know, you can see and feel it. It's normal. You feel it after they passed on because the life they used to live, no longer blocks who they have been, who they really are. And you are picking up on that. You are picking up on that because you feel energy."

My Teachers.

"Incarnation depending on the life chosen, goals, and body will inhibit or expand the ability to pick up and transmit Spiritual projections of the self. This is true for the projector as well as the receiver, and in fact true for societies and worlds at large. To those currently experiencing such receptiveness and to those undergoing Spiritual expansion, picking up on such "reborn" energies is common. This happens when thoughts and emotions are directed with intent in any direction. The focus of emotional intent knows no barrier. The object of that focus DOES have a choice to reflect it's own intent back or rebuff such focus. You would perceive such efforts then as fruitless. Some Spirits must be taught to shield and manipulate their intentions. For others it is a simple choice. You as a sensitive soul would find it easy to touch whom you would and would find fulfillment depending on your own Spiritual intentions-set to work or development. As Michael has said, Spiritual associations are not limited to most recent incarnations. Like attracts like, and emotional intent is the base of all associations. It seems amazing, because your society often inhibits spiritual blending's. Your part in 'All that IS" does not."
