Bob, I've never had a reading in all my 52 years. I'd be up for it if there are no takers

Kinesis : I think that would be very interesting. I'd like that to happen.
slim king: about mediumship communication. So it's very much like my old comic books where there was an alternative earth that was located in the same coordinates as earth but vibrating at a different frequency so you normally couldn't see it or visit it. That's the basic principle. The spirit world is all around us but for the communication to happen, they have to lower there vibrational frequency and we have to raise ours. On both sides of the equation that alteration of frequency is draining and can't be continued for long periods of time. That is how the spirits can move things or be seen by people that aren't actively participating in trying to communicate. The spirit has expended a lot of energy to make the vibration low enough to participate in the physical world. Now how the medium raises their vibration depends on the medium. Some do it through trances others just through meditation. My wife is so tuned in she can get going pretty easily, she just puts out in advance for anyone with a message to come forward at the appointment and provide information that is needed at this time for their highest good and best intentions going forward, and they appear and she can ask for a specific soul but she can only ask. Well she just got home and I need to help her with groceries so wrapping this up. Later Bob |

Bob and Kinesis, I hope you all were able to converse. I appreciate both your candor and willingness to find a common ground of respect.
While I would not advise talking to spirits for knowledge or guidance, I do understand some of the cultural practices that relate to an afterlife. For example, the Chinese traditionally respect and remember the ancestors and even have holidays when they burn money or gifts to send to the other side. In modern China, you can buy spirit bills to burn instead of real money to cut down on the expense of re-enacting the folk customs. Another cultural example would be that many of the Africans who study at the university here assume the existence of a spirit world. I often teach the story Dead Men's Path to help students see the importance of respecting the ideas of others, even when we feel them primitive. I had strange experiences when each of my grandmother's died, a strong feeling almost like physical warmth pouring over me, as if a blessing had been imparted. The experiences were subjective and wouldn't prove anything scientifically or in a court of law, but I know what I felt. Rationalizing the experiences, for me, would be just as dishonest as hyper-spiritualizing them. Anyway, thanks for sharing from the heart with civility folks!

- people are not very good at observing things accurately
- what they observe wll, they don' t remember accurately - what they remember well, they don' t describe accuarately - what they describe well, they simplify (Full Facts book of cold reading, Ian Rowland) |

and I can't even imagine how someone could do what my wife does if they were trying to fake it. Have you ever seen a good mentalist/magician? Some people absolutely SWEAR that David Blaine told them things he couldn't possibly know! Some get quite emotional and are driven to tears. And that's from a guy who doesn't claim to be anything other than a magician! Quote:

It is entirely possible that some mediums have paranormal abilities.
Just as it is entirely possible that Uri Geller bent spoons and duplicated drawings using paranormal abilities. I'd say both are equally likely to be true. |

There is good research showing that mediums can interact with something or someone. Windbridge Institute and the University of Virginia have dome pioneering studies in the U.S.A. over the past few decades. You can read more here:

I have met one of the best french medium, (dixit other mediums). He uses mostly pendulum. Talk a lot more of him than of me. And said nothing relevant except he get that I write poems, which is true.
Not really impress, but a great character, and I feel he really trust in his powers. |

I set up Skype and offered dates but she was always busy. and then we kinda lost touch. Here's a copy of our last communication... Hi Vicki It's a pleasure to meet you albeit under quite unusual circumstances. My timezone is GMT so no UTC offset. This weekend coming I'm pretty sure I could be flexible enough to work with whatever suits you. Although the weekend after that (27th/28th May) is even better but I don't know if you want to leave it that long. Up to you, I'll do what I can to accommodate. I'll install Skype on my laptop and let you know my details in due course. Kind regards *********************************************** Vicki 20 May to me Hi Derek! Nice to meet you too! My schedule is absolutely CRAZY these days! (I think that is why I'm awake at 4am!). How does your schedule look for the weekend of June 3-4? I'm pretty open that weekend. Let me know what works for you! Thanks! Vicki *************************************************** Derek Heron 20 May to Vicki Hi Vicki, Such is life. 6pm GMT onwards on 3rd June right through to the early hours of 4th June should be okay. 6pm GMT onwards til late on 4th June also good. I hope that helps. ********************************* So, sadly I never got my reading. |

I have not read the full thread but if contact with the so called spirit world was possible we magicians would know. Ehrich told us that he would return if he could. Being the showman he was there would have been grand fanfare and circumstance with his return. No such pomp happened. Conclusion there may be an after life? I believe there is but no way to return to the living. My opinion.
No matter how many times you say the wrong thing, it will NEVER be right.
If I'm not responding to you? It's because you're a TROLL! |
