Hello Carlos,
It is a pleasure to welcome you to our forum!
First, please know how sorry I am that you have experienced the sad loss of your Father. It comforts me to know that we will some day see our passed on loved ones and that the veil between our material world and the next realm of spirit is ever thinning as we lighten our minds and hearts that are often filled with stresses and worries. Inner peace cultivates this communication as does a sense of well being, joy and a belief that all things good are possible. That Love from the highest of all Divine Sources to the lowest human is the currency that fuels a beautiful Universe of Wonders we can scarcely imagine.
I can only speak from what I have learned about these beings who prompt us with the 11:11 wake up call. They are sort of like lower angels who occupy our world and serve the Creator of all in the capacity of assisting humans to ever greater understanding of Spirit and our home within the greater spirit communities occupying the far flung galaxies. We are so very much loved and long path to fully understanding this great Unconditional Love will occupy eons of time as we journey through the stars getting ever closer to the Divine Parent of us all.
It begins here and now and you/all of us have unwittingly been fostering this growth all our lives as deep within each of us is a need to find answers. Sometimes this desire seems dormant as the ways and means of physical existence zaps all our energy. But then at other times it is an undeniable urge that causes us to look ever deeper for the meaning of our lives and the realities of the realms beyond.
The 11:11 is a wonderful hello, inviting you to participate in lightening our world, making it better for those near and far with opportunities provided every day large or small. For instance, there are moments when lending a person you pass in the streets a kindly smile will make all the difference and change their momentary outlook which will then be passed on to others. And of course, there are countless small ways we can share inner joy and love. And you, Carlos, will place your own unique signature on the caring, love and compassion that you share with others. It is by this manner, one person at a time, that the world can and will slowly change, and every single person will be a part of it and contribute in a mighty way.
Of course, it first begins with each of us...and finding our own peace within, something undeniably life changing, enabling a wealth of attributes and innate spirit abilities to rise to the surface.

I also have a feeling for someone to establish a connection with the passed souls or gain some spiritual power he/she have to be of certain age and of certain level of maturity.
Well, this is not really true for all people as there are many examples of spiritual understanding and communication at very young ages. For instance, George, my husband, has communicated with Midwayers from a very early age and I have known many people who have also seen felt and communicated with beings of spirit for as long as they can remember. However for many of us, it seems to happen when we are a bit more settled in life and a little older. But regardless of age, we can promote spiritual understanding and various innate abilities and gifts by participating in regular stillness meditation of some sort.
The important part of any meditation practice lies in the ability to quieten the mind, to listen, to listen, most importantly, for God who often speaks to us from this peaceful state in a language without words. At these blissful times, ones heart is filled with an indescribable sensation, a joy and a longing to be ever closer to our Parent God. It may take a little time but with daily spiritual exercise, just as daily physical exercise is needed to the development of a strong and healthier body, we can develop a strong and flexible spiritual body.
Remember this does not mean we all have to think, believe and pray and meditate in the same way. Thankfully, the Creator of us all rejoices in diversity and accepts our love from whatever platform helps our heart to sing and lifts us closer to our home in the stars.
I hope this helps... but please know that your heartfelt prayers are heard and are beautiful and right as they come from the heart and soul. But what we sometimes forget is to then remain quiet afterwards as if God were sitting across from you and listen...just listen. You may hear all that goes on in the environment around you... That is good and okay. Try to listen then for things even closer...things you may not have noticed before. Then listen to your body...The sounds of your breath flowing in and out of your lungs, the rhythmic beat of your heart or also as in my case the sounds of your stomach rumbling in complaint.
Concentrate and focus on these things and then if possible listen a little closer what lies beyond your body? You may here nothing and that is fine. But as you repeatedly do this simple exercise you may begin to feel and know when you have reached the place of stillness where physical and spiritual balance is found. You will feel a deep peace and restfulness as you observe what comes to you. At this point for me I often see spirit energy and signatures of the beings close by, usually midwayers who are assisting me and joining me in prayer. They too love to rest, meditate and worship with us...so great is their love for us and for the Great Universe Being who creates the fabric of the stars!
The important thing is to give yourself time. We are all different and progress at different rates. One does not expect to break any track records the first day of physical exercise. And so, with patience and persistence, keep in your soul's eye your "lofty goal." Set your intentions with Love and surround yourself with beautiful white light, knowing you are so very much loved and protected. Then with confidence allow God to direct your spiritual growth, allowing what is needed to come to you. You may find little clues to your personal journey in things of spirit, as well as things rooted in the physical... books, articles, people around you. But ultimately your path will be yours and unlike anybody else's and it is always rooted in that very special "alone time" with God. So begin your prayers and meditations in joy and gratitude and before you know it you will see them manifesting in your outlook and possibly even in those around you. Divine Love cannot be contained or hidden and so is unconsciously shared without the need of thought or purpose...It just happens.
I hope what I have written makes some sense to you, Carlos, and I hope that you will feel free to ask any questions on this vast subject as well as contribute your own experiences and joys with the other members of this message board.
We are so happy that you have joined us!
With love,
