Introduction

When analyzing spirit communications, many factors are considered, such as the content of the message, the peculiar characteristics in the style of communication, the language used, the physical impressions felt by the medium, etc. All of these help in verifying the nature and identification of the communicating spirit.  The nature of the spirit refers to its degree of moral elevation and intellectual evolution, its intentions in communicating, and its trustworthiness.  The spirit’s identification refers to the specific names of personages that the spirit may claim to have assumed in any of its physical existences, as in some cases, this spirit may claim to have been someone it was not.
