This overview outlines the differences between Spirits and Living Entities.
Spirits
Spirits are those who lived, died, then transitioned into spirit form. They carry wisdom gained during life and from that which comes after. Their beautiful sums of knowledge can provide their Keepers with guidance, insight, and illumination that would be otherwise unavailable. Spirit companions offer their undivided attention, understanding, and assistance. Spirits desire to be appreciated and needed, which they gain by forming lasting friendships with people who need them. This mutually beneficial philosophy forms the foundation of Spirit Keeping.
Living Entities
Living entities are those who are physically alive, residing in one of the Realms. In many ways, living entity companions are like all other living beings – growing, learning, and changing through the passage of time. Sometimes they will be available, and other times not. Like the majority of all forms of living entities, a living entity companion desires interaction with others, and with your permission will introduce friends and family to you. This is the process of developing a friendship and it is much the same with all living entities. Since you are both physically alive, you will come to know each other through different stages of your individual lives- basically “growing up” together. This long-term life-spanning type of relationship fosters an intimate knowledge and understanding of your living entity companion, and vice versa.
