When I was learning my skills as Medium the general rule was, with physical mediumship involving ectoplasm care must be taken to keep
the physical medium safe. Such as removing all jewellery and the medium must
not be disturbed or touched as they can be very seriously injured or burned and
it was said that to disturb the physical medium will result in the death of the
medium instantly.
There have allegedly been cases of such things happening
such as with the Scottish medium Helen Duncan being supposedly accidentally
killed in 1956. It has been said she was actually performing physical
mediumship demonstration when the police came in to the house and interrupted
her. However the Wikipedia article says otherwise.
Helen Duncan 25/11/1896 to 6/12/1956
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Duncan
this article paints a different story. Many spiritualists though just parrot
what they have been told without actually witnessing the real facts. So care
must be taken when sorting fact from fiction and fact from deception as the
Psychic industry does have a few individuals that are not what they claim to
be. That can be said about many occupations though.
I have sat in on spiritualist events when this warning was
given and Helen Duncan’s case touted as actual fact. No one in the room had
ever met her or anyone that actually knew her. Most were not even born when
this supposedly took place.
It has been said rapidly retracting ectoplasm smells as it
retracts back into the body. It supposedly smells horrible and similar to burned meat or flesh
or rotting compost. I cannot verify this as factual though. Perhaps this is
Victorian hearsay, or made up to frighten people. So I honestly cannot say if
it is actually true or not, but I can tell you I was taught this many years ago
by the spiritual church teachers. Again it is all hearsay.
Concrete evidence
and recorded images need to be provided along with verifiable written accounts
of such events taking place to have any credibility. Indeed it would be amazing
to actually witness such a thing if it is genuine.
I have heard it said that ectoplasm will be destroyed by
Ultraviolet light but not infrared light, However I do not know anyone that has
witnessed this or know anyone that has witnessed this phenomenon. How is it possible?
As far as I am aware there are no physical mediums around
these days. I have heard lectures where it has been stated it is no longer
necessary to do physical mediumship in modern times because people are more
aware and accepting of mediumship. Hmm, I find this odd to be honest, because
mediumship has always existed and physical mediumship is not even necessary as
proof of survival after bodily death. I personally am a non-believer in the
phenomenon of physical mediumship.
However with mediumship, things must be proven by all
reasonable doubt and the medium must allow people to question what the medium
says. Information must be verifiable, by the sitter/ client (the person that is
seeking the assistance of a medium).
A physical description of what they can see and hear word
for word. In the case of a foreign language been given by the spirit being, the
medium may need to advise the client, that they cannot understand what is being
said. It is usually an odd word or two. The rest of the information will come
via the medium’s native language. We have no idea how that works, it just
happens. My self-included. I will often say to the sitter, I hear a word in
your language it starts with such and such. The client will then tell me the
word. Sometimes it turns out to be a person’s name or the name of a place.
Aporting and Asporting: Aport means objects
disappearing in the physical world from the spirit world.
Asporting is physical things reappearing into the physical
world or being moved by an unseen agent or phenomenon. I have witnessed an item
moving only twice in my life. A glass that was foolishly used in a Ouija board
experiment with my cousins and I back in the late 1970s. I have never taken
part in Since and will never take part in such a foolish venture ever again because
it is highly dangerous and irresponsible behaviour.
The second time that I saw an item move, was about a year
ago, in a public place, an ashtray moved by my late father in law on a table in front of my
husband and myself, I could clearly see my father in law sitting on the chair
opposite me when it happened.
I have had rings disappear from where I have left them and
they have never been returned. In fact it is almost impossible to have items
returned. I only know of one person that it has happened to. The object was icy
cold on its return.
An other experience that my husband and I had was during a
car accident back in 2015 where we were almost killed. I saw my late father in
law’s hands come over my husband’s hands on the steering wheel as the event was
happening. Both my husband and I heard him say, “don’t worry I’ve got this” And
our car came to rest on the other side of the road badly smashed and inches
away from a water catchment, which would have killed us. I had no warning of
this from spirit until my father in law stepped in to help us. Now this I find odd, because in the spiritual
community it is taken for granted that free will must not be violated. Hmm,
then why are we told we can pray to our spirit guide, god etc? Sometimes I feel
the rules are very contradictory just like the bible is.
Forms of mediumship can allegedly include intentional
materialisation, either partial or full manifestation. This requires a witness
to the event but preferably several witnesses.
Ectoplasmic mediumship such as producing a white substance
from the mediums body and is verifiable that it is not cheesecloth or such
substance. I personally have not ever seen such a thing and I am very sceptical
of the actual phenomenon actually being possible.
Intracentral trance control, this is basically mediumship
done via a clairvoyant in trance. This can supposedly involve a pulling sensation in the
solar plexus and supposedly ectoplasm. I am a trained but natural trance
medium. I am firmly against such
things and learned this reluctantly. I have not and will not use it since the
workshop I attended. I was horrified by the experience, but I had warned a
colleague against such things prior to her insisting that I go with her. I told her something bad will happen and sure
enough it did, to me and not her , she was rather indifferent about what happened to me and laughed it off.
I am what is termed a clairvoyant medium, so I see,
hear and feel, smell, taste and experience things on a psychic level.
I have done automatic writing though I am no longer willing
to do so, for the reason the clairvoyant or psychic person has no real control
of who comes through and what they may say or do. The clairvoyant medium can
also end up with an entity or energy attachment. Some of which can be so subtle
that they will not even be aware of it happening. However other people will
notice a sudden change in the person’s behaviour. The first reaction from the
person with the attachment will of course be denial. That would be a normal
reaction of course, however if the person is aware of it happening there is
absolutely no doubt what so ever. I
strongly advise people to leave this alone it can be and is a dangerous pastime
which engages the ego and takes over. Usually with a rather malevolent spirit.
I have experienced an energy attachment only twice in my
life time and thankfully was trained in how to clear this. I am not sure if
this is actually taught in all spiritual churches, as I learned what I needed
and discontinued attending spiritualist events. So I cannon honestly say if it
is a mandatory teaching or not. I do know that not many people will willingly
take on this role, and I totally understand why. It is a magnet for trouble
trust me. Anyone that says they can do this needs to prove that they are
trained and competent in the process also.
Classic signs of an entity or energy attachment are usually
a sudden feeling of dizziness, feeling off balance suddenly for no reason and a
sudden confusion of thoughts and a sudden feeling of anger that just happens
for no apparent reason out of the blue. These things happen at once and not
separately. Occasionally there will be a
change in the person’s facial expression that is noticeable and sometimes the
eyes are different, such as a second pair of eyes being seen or a manic look in
the eyes.
This can be cleared easily by a trained professional. However
one must not make the mistake of mental illness and energy attachments. Yes it
is possible for both to happen to a person, but first and foremost a person
must seek medical assistance. Here I must caution readers, because the medical
profession do not acknowledge the psychic phenomenon, but seeking professional
medical help is a must. It is not negotiable, seek that help and then seek a
trained professional in entity removals. Time is vital in both instances
because self-harm is most certainly on the cards.
Both Sigmund Freud and Karl Jung were indeed into the
psychic phenomenon. That says something right there! Also an American
psychiatrist has publicly stated there is a link with mental illness with
entity attachments in some cases. Again I insist on seeking proper medical help
first and foremost.
I do not think using psychic abilities for “entertainment
purposes” is the ethical or moral thing to do for me personally. I do not have
the right to say others should not do this though, it is up to the individual
and those that wish to participate in these events.
I take what I do seriously, I mean no disrespect to others
in my line of work. I am obliged by law, to state that readings and mediumship
is for entertainment only, some of my colleagues find it offensive. I must
admit that I used to at one time also, now however I totally get where the law
is coming from. Gladly my work speaks for itself. I do feel sad though when
people do have a bad experience with a psychic, as it casts a dim light on the
rest of us honest hard working psychics.
The rule of the thumb is always check the credentials prior
to booking an appointment and please be open and relaxed when the reading or
mediumship is being conducted or you will block the energy which results in a
poor quality reading or it can prevent the loved on in spirit making contact
with the medium. Mediumship requires the
medium not be put under any stress to perform or it won’t work. This is about
finely tuned energy which you cannot turn on like the flick of a switch.
The medium has to relax and prepare for the mediumship or
even a psychic reading. The psychic must not be used to psychically spy on
others because that is wrong and unethical. Most psychics will refuse to do
this anyway.
A good psychic will not tell you about someone dying,
because that is also unethical and irresponsible. There is no need to ever
frighten anyone. That is a horrible thing to do and Yes, I have had it done to
me and it had a very bad effect on my family. Members of Psychic associations
generally will never do such a thing, it is usually the psychics that are not
professionals that will do this.
This also can pre programme a person for something that is
avoidable, because as they dwell on the issue they can manifest it by thought
intention unwittingly. It is important
for people to have a strong sense of self and be self-empowered, because when
you submit to another person’s opinion that is when things can happen. Like the
hypnotic power of suggestion or NLP Neurolinguistic (invented by the CIA ) programming, which is
downright evil.
As I say a strong sense of the self, and that has nothing to
do with having a big ego. It means setting your boundaries and knowing within
yourself who you are. A good strong aura and sense of self stops the negativity
of others in their tracks.
Stay safe and stay informed!
