I understand these questions might not be crystal clear currently, so I'm interested in your opinion on the following. If you have a book or talk you'd suggest, please share it also. Thanks in advance. 1- When our loved ones from the Spirit world visit us, and we're aware of their presence by sensing it, feeling it or seeing them, how do they "earn" for lack of a better word the privilege of visiting us (for example when we see them, which would be something they or their leadership allows)? What warrants our eyes being opened, by the leadership in the spirit world area of our loved ones? I imagine it's not too difficult to avoid sinning in the spirit world, having no physical body, no need to eat, sleep, etc. 2- When loved ones pass away and our resting family members come visit them to welcome them to the Spirit World, what is the chain of command for informing the existing-resting loved ones to visit the soon-to-be-passing away relative? Prophet, Quorum of the Twelve, 70, area authority, stake president, bishop, auxiliary president, ministering bros/sisters? Or would it be more like 10th great grandpa/ma tells 9th great and so on, down to the most recently resting relative who visits the soon to be passing away mortal? 3- Since we don't or I at least do not know when we'll be visited, how can we / me prepare for or "earn" or warrant such visits? How might we successfully seek such visits? If the ministering of angels includes the right to direct such visits (when blessing others that they will be protected and guided, and that He'll be on their right hand and on their left - all of these blessings to me imply angels. what angels are most likely to be there other than our most recently departed, resting loved ones?), can we ask for such a visit when asking for a blessing?
