Mediumship; The Supreme Evidence Of The Afterlife?

What Exactly Is Mediumship ?

Mediumship is the process whereby a human instrument, known as a medium or channel,

is used by one or more discarnate (having no material body or form) spirit personalities

for the purpose of:

Presenting information, verifiable or otherwise.

Causing socalled paranormal activities to occur.

Channeling forth certain types of energies.

Manifesting themselves materially for ob!ective e"amination and#or identification.

$rom this definition, we observe the following:

Mediumship involves a cooperating effort between a person on the %arth plane(the medium) and a person in &pirit (the communicator).

'here are several ob!ectives behind the manifestation of mediumship.

'herefore, mediumship involves the cooperation between at least two individuals:

n %arthplane channel or medium

spirit communicator or operator.

ou will note that we distinguish between a spirit communicator and a spirit operator.

Phenomena Throuh Mediumship

'here are two distinct types of phenomena that can occur through mediums:

Communication

Manipulation of energies and energy systems.

spirit who uses a medium for the purpose of communication, either verbally or visually,

is known as aspirit communicator. spirit who uses a medium for the intent of workingwith and#or manipulating energies or energy systems is called aspirit operator. 'his

distinction is very general, and it should be noted that a spirit operator can, and often

does, communicate.

'hus, mediumship can be distinguished as two basic types:

Mental Mediumship

Physical Mediumship

Mental !Telepathic" Mediumship

Mental mediumship involves the relating of information, through communication, via thevaried aspects of thought transference better known as mental telepathy. Mental telepathy

is the relaying of information via thought without using any of the five physical senses

(sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell). $rom this we derive the termsparanormal or outsideand without the use of the normal human senses and extrasensory perception (%&P).

Mental mediumship takes place within the consciousness of the medium. 'he results arethen e"pressed verbally and must pass through the medium*s mouth (laryn" or voice

bo"). +ecause of its telepathic nature, mental mediumship is sometimes referred to as

telepathic mediumship.

n a demonstration of mental mediumship, it is the medium who telepathically hears,

-sees (without eyesight much like we -see in dreams), and -feels (again as we might

sense a feeling in a dream) what the spirit communicators are relating. t is the medium*s

function to relate the information, with minimum personal influence and pre!udice, to therecipient of the message, also known as the sitter.

'he sitter is typically the one who also is seeking the information possibly presenting and

asking /uestions through the medium to the spirit in contact.

Physical Mediumship

Physical mediumship involves the manipulation and transformation of physical systems

and energies. 'he spirit operators, in this case, are causing something to happen upon the%arth plane. 0hat it is that actually happens varies with the style of mediumship

involved, but the results can be seen and heard by others.

0hy &pirit Communication1 by 2ev. &imeon &tefanidakis

http:##www.fst.org#whyseek3.htm

"Physical mediumship is the process whereby a discarnate, in Spirit, usually known as a

spirit operator

1. works or operates through the mental AND physical energies o the medium and

!. causes something physical to happen on the arth plane.

Physical mediumship is ob#ecti$e in nature% that is, when the phenomena occur, e$eryone

is able to see and&or hear them."

'he implications, here, are really /uite staggering: mind is capable of affecting matter.

Perhaps this is the most pertinent implication lying at the foundation of physical

mediumship.

Modern Examples of Mental Mediumship

'heresa Caputo aka the'ong (sland )ediumafter her television show of the same name

is a mental or telepathic medium. &he communicates with spirits typically who are related

to the sitter or person who she relays the spirit4s message(s). Ms. Caputo e"ecutes hermediumship in oneonone sittings, in groups of sitters and has been seen seeking out

individuals in public places where spirits have communicated information to relatives or

friends who are neither asking nor seeking communications.

&he is gifted with:

*lair$oyanceor 5Clear &eeing5, is the ability to see anything that is not physically

present, such as ob!ects, animals or people. 'his sight occurs 5in the mind4s eye5

or it appears as a movie, a television program or a still picture like a photographin their mind.

*lairaudienceor 5Clear 6earing5, is usually defined as the ability to hear the

voices or thoughts of spirits. &ome mediums hear as though they are listening to aperson talking to them on the outside of their head, as though the &pirit is ne"t to

or near to the medium, and other mediums hear the voices in their minds as a

verbal thought.

*lairsentienceor 5Clear &ensing5, is the ability to have an impression of what a

spirit wants to communicate, or to feel sensations instilled by a spirit.

*lairsentinenceor 5Clear $eeling5 is a condition in which the medium takes on

the ailments of a spirit, feeling the same physical problem which the spirit person

had before death. *lairalienceor 5Clear &melling5 is the ability to smell a spirit. $or e"ample, a

medium may smell the pipe tobacco of a person who smoked during life.

*lairgustanceor 5Clear 'asting5 is the ability to receive taste impressions from a

spirit.

*laircogni+anceor 5Clear 7nowing5, is the ability to know something without

receiving it through normal or psychic senses. t is a feeling of 5!ust knowing5.8ften, a medium will claim to have the feeling that a message or situation is

5right5 or 5wrong.5

-ctoplasm was shown in $arying orms like net, $eil, drapery, )uslim or e$en more

comparable with meat like orms, i we recall the )argery case. ut the transormation

o this substance is always dismissed by skeptical claims.

( tried to document some parts o these stages by taking photographs with a high

resolution digital camera in my circle /0elix circle, though it is not possible to documentthe transormation ongoing. At the irst stage ( ha$e oten seen the appearance o a

mobile substance, which was attached in some way with the body o the medium. (n most

instances a white stream o ectoplasm was partly released rom the medium2s mouth /notin all instances, which was grabbed by the medium sel in order to descend it to the

loor.

3he medium pulled, on some occasions, such a large mass o ectoplasm rom his mouththat it could oten be seen on his whole body as well as around his eet on the loor. 3his

stage looked like a phase o emanation. 3he substance appeared in a heterogenic

morphology, its consistency was always dierent. (n all ectoplasmic ormations there was

always something inconstant and irregular and sometimes the morphological structurewas dierent in the centre than at the rims.

4n other occasions ( could see a more perorated, membranous mass with local

thickenings and $acant spaces.

(n the next step the structure oten underwent a process o transormation and e$olution.(n most cases perectly white modeled hands became $isible 5 normally ( was able to

witness the e$olution and mo$ement o a single hand. 3hese hands were always dierent

si+es and were not comparable with those o the medium, sometimes e$en bigger, butoten smaller. (n most instances the medium2s limbs were totally $isible while ( could see

the mo$ement o an additional materiali+ed hand. 3he hands were normally seen rom

their palm side and ga$e an impression o a normal li$ing agent who liked to interactwith the group. ( could oten see wa$ing gestures or #ust mo$ing ingers.

0or example on one occasion ( witnessed a dense band o white substance with a breadtho approximately our ingers, which was normally released rom the medium2s mouth.

3his creation mo$ed approx. 1,6 meters out o the cabinet. At its end was a hand was

positioned and all sitters including me could see this ormed hand perorming scrambling

gestures.

(n another sance ( ha$e seen a stream o white semitransparent ribbon, which was

$ertically ascending with wa$ing motion in ront o the cabinet. At its end a human handwas slowly mo$ing with the ingers. 4n other occasions ( could see dierent aspects o

transormation and e$olution. (n two instances nearly the whole body o the medium

including the head was bagged into $eil5like ectoplasmic orms, comparable with acocoon o a caterpillar.

(n one case two mo$ing materiali+ed hands were $isible within this cocoon, while both

medium2s hand as well both eet could clearly been seen. the medium2s body, which

wreathed itsel around the eet. 3hen a $ertical column directly in ront o the medium

was ormed. 3his column was semitransparent so that the medium was perectly $isible

during the whole time, and a kind o umbilical cord connected him with the nebulousorm. 4n urther condensation a inger5like mo$ing structure came out o this column at

the upper end, which dissol$ed within a period o two minutes.

4n another occasion ( had the chance to touch this white substance with my hands in red

light. ( totally agree with the sensational descriptions o historical reports. 3he ectoplasm

elt cold, clammy, and as i endowed with a motion o its own. 3he sensation may becompared with that produced on the skin by a li$ing reptile. 7ichet, Schrenck5Not+ing

and 8eley ha$e witnessed similar indings directly in ront o their eyes /see Stephen

Physical mediumship offers the highest form of proof of life after death whereby those

who have passed on are able to reappear in solid form, near to or e"actly as they werewhen they lived on the earth.

Physical and Mental Mediumship (raud

'he best skeptical argument against sance materialiIation, is the photographs tend to be

unconvincing. n fact some historical ectoplasm photographs are so grotes/ue,

preposterous and unbelievable most believers in mediumship have a very hard timeaccepting these too.

&o why take sance claims seriously1 'here are very impressive witness reports fromscientists as well as other skeptical professions.

%ven some highly esteemed magicians supported sance claims as not e"plicable bycon!uring or deception. claim of fraud is not necessarily evidence of fraud although the

skeptical literature almost always selectively /uotes the claims of fraud.

+ritish, >& and Herman intelligence personnel were all investigating the same sance

mediums claims prior to 00E and it is highly probable they may have started playing

games with photographs to discredit the research.

'here is no doubt that physical and mental mediumship has been sub!ected to ane"traordinary amount of fraud and that many true mediums have elected to include fraud

to deliver consistent entertainment. Mediumship is not gift that can be turned off and on

at will. f you choose to be an entertainer either you are placing yourself in a position

where you may be embarrassedNor spectacular.

'hen we have the cold and hot readers. *old readingmeans picking up subtle sensory

clues from face#eyes#body language, clothing, etc. and feeding these back to the sitter.

:ot readingis easy to define, it is basically cheating, finding out information beforehandand presenting as not knowing the information being presented. Hifted mediums have

been known to add cold and hot reading for the sake of performance and audience

gratification.

t is certain that true mediumship can be determined to be real and provable.

fairly accurate *results* by doing e"actly the same thing whilst clearing our minds, thenmaking a determined effort to develop this talent.

>ltimately, unlike the psychic, it is the !ob of a medium is to prove postmortem survivalto their sitters. medium has direct contact with spirit personalities guides, helpers

and#or relatives, friends and ac/uaintances of the *sitter* who have *crossed over* and who

are able to impart information either through a mental or physical process to the medium,who then relays their messages to the sitter.

0ithout doubt, the most rigorously studied, documented and evidenced cases of physical

mediumship comes from 'he &cole %"periment.

https:##www.youtube.com#watch1v;B/&%i?sfa&>

-3he Scole xperiment chronicles the extraordinary results o a i$e5year in$estigation

into lie ater death. At the beginning o 1@@ our psychic researchers embarked on aseries o experiments in the Norolk $illage o Scole. 3he subseBuent e$ents were so

astounding that senior members o the prestigious Society or Psychical 7esearch asked

to obser$e, test and record what took place.9

http:##www.thescolee"periment.com#

'he &cole %"periment is considered the most persuasive collection of meticulously

scrutiniIed mediumship evidence of the e"istence of an afterlife, the survival of

consciousness and the evolution and !ourney of the human spirit.

nternationally, the most famous (mental and) physical medium appears from modernliterature Professor of Oivination &ybill Patricia 'relawney (%mma 'hompson in the

film adaptations) of the 6arry Potter books and movies. Oivination is the practice of

attempting to foretell future events.

t was 'relawney herself who made the prophecy concerning 9ord oldemort and the one

with the power to van/uish him (oldemort took this to mean 6arry Potter) during her!ob interview with 6eadmaster lbus Oumbledore at the 6og4s 6ead pub in DAJ (6arry

was born =uly 3D, DAJ =uly 3D is also =. 7. 2owling4s birthdate).

7nown as -'he Prophecy, it was supposedly lost to history when dropped by 9ucius

Malfoy during the fight between 'he Oeath %aters, members of Oumbledore4s rmy and

members of 'he 8rder 8f the Phoeni" (&irius +lack et al) in the +attle 8f 'he

Oepartment 8f Mysteries (2oom of the eil).

lbus Oumbledore recalling the night the prophecy was made, shortly before 6arry

hearing 'relawney making the prophecy through the Pensieve:

Albus Dumbledore; "3he thing that smashed was merely the record o the prophecy

kept by the Department o )ysteries. ut the prophecy was made to somebody, and that

person has the means o recalling it perectly."

:arry Potter; "


11/13

amous, $ery gited Seer, and ( thought it common politeness to meet her. ( was

disappointed. (t seemed to me that she had not a trace o the git hersel. ( told her,

courteously ( hope, that ( did not think she would be suitable or the post. ( turned tolea$e."

..when 'relawney blurted out an e"ceptional piece of physical mediumship (trance anduse of her vocal chords) precognition and retrocognition. n this instance, Oumbledore

was the sitter.

"3he one with the power to $anBuish the Dark 'ord approaches ... born to those who

ha$e thrice deied him, born as the se$enth month dies ... and the Dark 'ord will mark

him as his eBual, but he will ha$e power the Dark 'ord knows not ... and either must die

at the hand o the other or neither can li$e while the other sur$i$es ... the one with thepower to $anBuish the Dark 'ord will be born as the se$enth month dies ..."

Ouring 'he Prophecy, 'relawney correctly specified that the re/uirements for the boy of

prophecy who was capable to (but not necessary would) defeat the Oark 9ord were thefollowing:

6e was male.

6e is born in the closing days of =uly of DAJ, the year that the prophecy was

made.

6is parents had defied oldemort three times and lived to tell about it.

6e would have a power that oldemort was unable or unwilling to comprehend.

f more than one person was born that met the re/uirements, oldemort himself

would choose to whom it would ultimately refer. (Keville 9ongbottom was also

born =uly 3D, DAJ).

t the end of the DAA3QDAAF 6ogwarts4 school year, she accurately predicted the escape

of Peter Pettigrew and return of 9ord oldemort. 'relawney was often ridiculed

(6ermione with 6arry and 2on on their way to 6agrid4s: -roaden your minds. >se your(nner ye to see the uture '4') but her overall accuracy was e"ceptional and she is

accredited with over two doIen other precognitive predictions. lthough Prof. 'relawney

was mostly /uiet she is famous nonetheless.

Mediumship And The Afterlife

f mediumship was nothing more than carnival tricks or small glimpses of discarnate

relatives, it4s usefulness would be temporal and entertaining. 6owever, the end result ofmediumship is the revelation of the spirit world, of spirits who have most assuredly lived

on the %arthly plane and now e"ist in other more ethereal or astral dimensions (planes).

which are beyond our comprehension. +laise Pascal

Medium communication is often incomplete, there can be difficulty in finding the right

language to e"plain the une"plainable, and a myriad of other problems. n short, althoughwe have archived thousands upon thousands of personal e"periences, anecdotes and

medium sessions, we don4t have a comprehensive allinone book of knowledge.

0hat we do have is a

'he proof of life after death can only be arrived at by providing an absolute plethora ofpositive evidence sometimes very small personal details which added together can be

/uite overwhelming in their accuracy, and are sufficient to establish the truth of the

matter without any doubt as to the reality of survival.
