I’ve had spirits tell me they are still enjoying their weekly card games, whatever!” Is this really true? What can Creator tell us?

Here again, this psychic medium was being quite honest in interpreting a perceived error on her part in seeing someone's loved one in heaven playing checkers instead of the backgammon game they actually played while being together in the human plane. What she was seeing was a symbolic representation of the relationship between the friends that would be fully relatable from the human survivors who knew them, the person for whom the medium was doing the reading in this case, and that was the meaning and importance of the psychic perception, the communication with the departed, as a way of signaling the truth and validity of the reading itself, that she was truly reaching that person's loved one and reporting on a continued friendship with someone else who was an old friend and departed, and they were in the light together. There are many examples like this where light beings will relay impressions that are more meant to represent a means of identification and validation than reflecting what life is like in the heavenly realm, and what they are doing in actuality, as the details would remain beyond human understanding. When what is most needed from psychic readings is some kind of feedback that one is truly connecting with their loved one and getting a description of some esoteric metaphysical process and mission the loved one might be a part of would have little meaning to their living relative, not understanding such things nor even likely being able to be communicated intelligently, because the words to describe it are not known to the psychic medium, nor an understanding and awareness of much of the phenomena that are the makeup of light being existence. So it is those small details, even though they seem quite prosaic, and perhaps underwhelming to those who might expect more of heavenly existence than continuing a weekly card game with a friend, it serves a purpose, it is a reassurance, and if that is a personal characteristic the person was known by, a powerful validation that psychic medium was truly connecting with the intended target, and that is the purpose for the description more so than reflecting what heaven is like.
