Mediumship
Mediumship has a Spiritual purpose to prove to man that there is
life after death. Man needs evidence that we are not just physical
beings in a material body, but we are also a spirit being here and
now. If a medium can bring some form of evidence from the spirit
world, which proves that life does continue after death. Man will
be inspired to search into the facts of life. This will also bring
the realization that this life is a school of learning, which equips
each one of us for another life in the spirit world.
Only then can man take a good look at himself for personal responsibility
for his actions deeds and thoughts. Only then can a code of values
be adopted to stop war, cruelty, poverty, greed, pollution, and all
the other negative things on the earth. Mankind should realize that
planet earth does not belong to him, and we have no right to destroy
it for future generations. Only by positive thoughts of love and
peace, can harmony be restored for everyone to live the way the great
soul of the universe intended us to live...
A lot of people today wish to become a medium, they want to see
the spirit people, feel them, and hear them. They want to be healers,
give demonstrations proving life after death, and give private consultations.
One must be careful that they are not just satisfying their ego,
or have a materialistic attitude, everyone who wishes to develop
their Mediumship for whatever purpose, should have an inner feeling
to be used to help others.
It does not matter what religion you come from, Mediumship is superior
to religion, race, and colour. All Mediumship asks is that you take
part in the divine plan of good with love in your heart.
Some mediums are born and have a special gift from birth , the
pathway is mapped out for them, they seem to have a natural ability
to raise there consciousness onto a different level of thought and
feeling. A dimension we call the spirit world. Other potential mediums
can have revelations, or be sensitive to the spirit world and people
around them. In all cases the gift has to be developed, so the medium
has full control over their gifts, and learn to work with the spirit
helpers.
Mediumship comes under two headings Mental and Physical each
requires a separate development class so the gifts can be trained.
Mental Mediumship is the most common type used today. Development
groups can be found in spiritual centres and home circles. These
groups are run by experienced mediums. No one should join a development
group if they anxious, frightened or just for a laugh.
One should have their feet on the ground. Be strong, purposeful,
well balanced, and have a disciplined mind, and of cause love in
their hearts.
An open circle is normally run in centres which will allow anyone
to join in. A closed circle is when you sit with the same people
every week. Home circle groups are usually closed groups.
Some people sit to be batteries of energy to help others, and some
sit to be used solely for healing and some sit to develop Mediumship
skills.
If you decide to sit for development you commit yourself to attending
every week as far as possible. You are making an appointment with
the spirit world, not the leader of the group that you sit in. When
sitting in a closed circle you also have a responsibly to consider
the people with whom you sit with, as the spiritual energy is built
between you all. If a commitment is not made this energy will fluctuate
from week to week.
It should be stressed that beginners have a correct understanding
of what Mediumship is. So many potential mediums come out of development
classes and start to work too soon.
Mediumship has to develop upon a spiritual and material level,
it requires patients, and many potential mediums give up when tested
on a material level. These tests are to find out how strong you are,
how you cope with situations, and teach us to rise above material
things. This enables a trust to be built between the spirit helpers
and yourself. If you are to work in front of the general public and
you get a skeptic audience you have to put all your faith and trust
in your spirit helpers or you would go to pieces at the first hurdle
Understanding is the key to everything, one needs to read books,
ask questions and only except what you feel is correct for you. Everyone
has different ideas not everything will seem correct at first, maybe
ten years down the line as you change things will become more clear.
The more understanding we have the more you help those that work
with you. The Spirit helpers can only work with the knowledge we
have in our minds. The more knowledge we have the better the medium
for the spirit world
We should remember that we are always a student, always learning,
so there is no need to come out of a development group. No one can
tell you how long you will take to develop the gifts. When the time
is right opportunities come.
Facing the public is an ordeal in its self. Mediumship is something
you cannot practice. When a medium gives a demonstration, they do
not know what they are going to get until they start to give a message.
The mediums own thoughts do not come into the matter. No medium can
contact the spirit world. Mediums sit in development groups to raise
their subconscious mind, through meditation. This enables the spirit
people to draw close and make themselves known to the mediums mind.
All trainee mediums should be taught that it is the mediums spirit
mind which is used, and we attract like minds to ourselves from the
spirit world. Like attracts like. It is the subconscious mind which
receives the thought forms from the spirit people, and it is the
conscious mind that expresses these thoughts, through the awareness,
of ones own personal experiences, and knowledge. This in turn enables
the medium to deliver a message. Thought is a living thing and mediums
should be aware that they sense and feel deeply and should try to
keep a positive outlook at all times. No spirit guide or helper can
make anyone do anything against their own wishes. You are in control
of those spirit friends that control you at all times. It is through
your own permission that you can give them control over your mind
which is based on trust. In my own experience the spirit friends
have always come in gentleness and love willing to serve humanity
for the highest good. If your motives are good you will find that
your spirit helpers will never let you down.
There are four types of mental Mediumship which come to light in
a development group and this comes under perception and control.
Perception is when the spirit communicator works through the mediums
mind.
(Clairvoyance) is received in two different ways. Objective
and Intuitive
Objective clairvoyance is when the medium sees pictures
or objects. It appears to be seen with the eyes, but it is really
seen with the eyes of the spirit body. The image usually does not
move, it lasts only a second or two and easy to recall.
Intuitive clairvoyance is the more popular kind is when
a thought, a picture of a person in the spirit world, or a still
object, is perceived; also a movie can be conveyed on to the conscious
mind. This type of clairvoyance can be conveyed as a vision or by
thought. For example a vision of an object that a spirit person has
used or a picture of themselves can be conveyed as evidence. The
description will depend on how the medium translates these images.
(Clairaudience) is when the medium hear sounds which can
be names of the spirit people, places, numbers, dates of anniversaries,
act. They sound just like physical sounds, but are vibrations which
are transmitted from the spirit world onto the mind. Where they are
interpreted into words
(Clairsentience.) Is when the medium senses, the spirit
people, but does not see or hear anything. For example a spirit loved
one could superimpose their last physical condition upon the medium
such as a heart condition, a pain, even their personality and emotions
when they were on the earth plane. The medium knows if the entity
is male or female, how tall they are, and has an idea of the age
group. Emotions can be really strong, so a medium has to be disciplined
with this kind of Mediumship.
Spirit Control is when the medium lets the mind go into
a trance like state, and be controlled by the spirit helpers. This
control can be light to deep and enables the spirit control to project
their thoughts on to the mediums mind to speak, to do automatic writing,
write music, and draw psychic art.
