I guess because our consciousness has to work through a physical brain we can only understand things at a physical level and can't properly interpret what comes from the part of us that's in spirit. Maybe that part is what some people call the higher self... more food for thought...

I'm not convinced by this 'facet' argument which is said to suggest a 'remainder' of our total self remaining in the etheric.

As always we're left to struggle on with words which can imply many things but as we well know, the way words get used is highly imprecise. I'm always reluctant to pay too much heed to the detail of words, much more comfortable by their overall intent.

Magnus who speaks through medium Colin Fry has always been against the idea of reincarnation but he does say that an 'aspect' of a person can come back to the earth plane and attach to someone to learn from their earthly experiences. He also says that memories of previous lives when regressed are in fact the earthly lives of the attachment(s)

I know Colin. (aka Lincoln) I know Magnus. I don't understand any of what he's said (above) at all....

A so-called attachment as described makes no sense for me unless it's equivalent to 'over-shadowing'?

It's nothing to do with overshadowing, the way he describes attachments is that they can subtly influence us with thoughts that we perceive as our own...
