Getting Your Message Across
 When you first arrive in the spirit world it will take you a little while to get used to using telepathy. At first it will appear as if people are talking to you normally, since this is the method of communication that you are used to. However, you will then notice that it only appears that they are talking. You are “hearing” their thoughts as spoken words. Similarly, you will notice that your own thoughts and feelings are completely transparent. The first spirit people you meet will “hear” your words as those thoughts form, before the words actually leave your mouth.
The same form of telepathic communication is used to communicate with the material plane. Unfortunately, you will find that most of the people you may try to communicate with are completely oblivious to your communications. Some may interpret your thoughts and sense, see, or even smell you. However, if you want to get a detailed message across, you will need to find someone who is telepathic and, most importantly, is aware of the telepathic signals from you and your spirit friends.
MEDIUMS COMMUNICATING WITH SPIRITS
A medium is used by the spirit people as a vehicle for communication between the two worlds. Onlookers assume that the medium is able to see the spirit person standing near them and can hear their voice speaking to them. Some mediums encourage this belief by saying things such as “I can see so-and-so standing by you” or “he is saying such-and-such.” This is not actually true.
Mental mediums perceive the spirit communicator inwardly. When we say we hear a voice, it is an inner voice that we hear. You may hear a tune inside your head or remember the voice of someone speaking--this is very similar to the way mediums hear the spirit. The name given for this type of spirit communication is clairaudience. Intuitive clairaudience is a subtle condition which can be described as listening-in to soundless words. The medium is aware of an impression of hearing, as word forms come into consciousness.
Similarly, a medium feel sensations when a spirit is communicating. For example, I may feel the physical conditions they had when on earth. I will sense which sex they are or get impressions of their personality. This sensing is called clairsentience. Finally, I may see mental effigies showing the events from the spirit person’s life, see their face, or perhaps see pictures of places that were important to them. This perception of images is usually called clairvoyance. (Strictly speaking, clairvoyance is defined by parapsychology as an aspect of extrasensory perception in which an object or event are perceived without the use of the known senses.)
HOW MEDIUMS COMMUNICATE
Mental mediumship, therefore, comes from a combination of inner sensing, seeing and hearing. Put all of these impressions together and it is possible to give an accurate description of the person that has passed over to spirit. Occasionally, when the power is high, the inner impressions are so strong that I may hear, see, or feel a spirit presence as clearly as if they stood near me, like a solid person from this world. However, I recognize that even these powerful impressions are, in fact, coming from within me. Objective mediumship, where you may, for example, see a spirit standing in a room is, in fact, intuitive mediumship. What you see is a thought picture being impressed by a spirit onto the medium’s consciousness.
So, where do these mental impressions come from? It has been argued that mediums are just reading the memories of their sitters through telepathy. As quoted above, people like myself are able to demonstrate telepathy and can even describe a piece of film being watched by an audience. So is it not possible that all mediumship is just telepathy? Could it be that mediumship has nothing to do with the afterlife, but is just the perception of memories using this sixth sense, telepathy?
It is true that a good deal of telepathy happens when mediums give a consultation. I may begin by telling my sitter about what they have been doing that day or about things that are on their mind. This helps me to link with the sitter’s vibration and enables a flow of energy between our auras. Once a flow of energy is established between us, it is then possible for the spirit communicator to influence my thoughts. Telepathy does take place, but not between the sitter and me but between the spirit communicator and me.
A FUNNY PSYCHIC STORY
Of course not everything you see at a sitting, demonstration, or Spiritualist meeting is true mediumship. For example, I recently went to a Spiritualist Church with my wife Jane and daughter Danielle to see one of “England’s finest Spiritual artists.” A female medium stood on the rostrum and gave a demonstration of shallow mediumship while a male medium sat scribbling a portrait. We all waited eagerly to see the portrait that he worked on with great concentration while she made a spirit communication.
Finally, the tension was over and the long-awaited picture was revealed to the audience. The psychic artist had drawn a man who looked just like Freddie Kruger from the movie “Nightmare on Elm Street”! (Or so it seemed to my family and me.) But perhaps the most amazing thing was that someone in the audience accepted it as a picture of someone they knew! The next picture was even more unusual. Danielle (age 11) decided it looked like the Marshmallow Man in “Ghostbusters” and had trouble keeping a straight face.
The above is a combination of bad mediumship and bad drawing. However, even good mediumship is questionable if it can be proven to be only mind reading. I often find that it’s the things that are not accepted at a consultation that usually prove to be the most significant evidence.
WHY SPIRIT COMMUNICATION IS NOT PERSON TO PERSON TELEPATHY
Sometimes the recipient of the spirit message has to check the facts with a third party who was not present at the consultation. If the information is then proven to be correct, it demonstrates that the medium was not reading the sitter’s mind.
Sally Colverson felt a little embarrassed when everything I said was wrong. “Craig gave me a message from a man called Mr. Williams who had persistent breathing conditions and a bad limp. ‘I feel that there is a link with South Wales in the UK,’ said Craig ‘and you will understand the name George associated with this name. It’s not the man’s Christian name rather it’s the name of his friend that lived next door. The street is full of terraced houses. It’s either called Church Street or Chapel Street--both names feel significant. I can hear a brass band playing. It was so loud the dogs would howl. Lots of dogs howling. I can hear lots of dogs.’
‘Craig had drawn a blank. Everything except the link with Wales was wrong. He looked a little embarrassed as he moved to his next link. However, when I got home I asked my dad about the names I had been given. “This is way before your time,” said Dad. “George and Mr. Williams were my neighbors when I lived in Old Church Place. Mr. Williams was a Spiritualist. He suffered from chest problems and had a limp due to infantile paralysis. It was me that was in the band and we used to always annoy the neighbors--only George and Mr. Williams supported us. We played at the Miner’s Hall. Problem was, it would always set the dogs howling at the nearby breeders in Chapel Street.” ’ ”
Cases like this demonstrate that mediumship is not telepathy. |
