Responsible mediumship

6th Apr 2008

Hello lovely people

How do mediums and clairvoyants “know” what will happen to us before it happens? According to Dr Manjir Samanta-Laughton, in her book Punk Science, they tap into the Quantum Vacuum.

The 17th century concept of atoms looking like billiard balls has evolved and eventually in the 20th century been replaced by quantum physics. This new theory in physics describes particles as waves that only become solid when we look for them. The waves are like roadmaps that contain information, but the information only becomes real and useful when we consciously look at the map. We are surrounded by these quantum waves, because they form the Universe and everything in it and we live in this Quantum Vacuum of waves. Where these waves cross, masses of information are stored. Mediums have the ability to tap into this consciousness and “read” what is there, and convey these messages to the people involved.

Manjir’s theory is that geniuses like Mozart or Einstein did their best work when tapping into this Quantum Vacuum. All of us have the ability to do this and bring our own talents to the fore, if we are willing to accept this and expand our consciousness by means of, for example, meditation, to include the entire universe.

Mediums use different senses. They use clairvoyance (the ability to see, clairaudience (the ability to hear), clairsentience (the ability to feel) or combinations of these senses.

Gifted artists are also mediums in their own right, because they tap into the Great Creator or the Quantum Vacuum. Examples of these geniuses are Leonardo da Vinci, Michaelangelo, and Shakespeare. I read somewhere the other day about an entrepreneur who gets loads of different business proposals on a regular basis – more than he can read. He decides which ones to pursue by picking up the documents (not reading them, but sensing them) and making his decision.

Healers are mediums in their own way because they also tap into the Great Creator or Quantum Vacuum to access the healing that is meant for the patient.

Each one of us has access to the Quantum Vacuum without even being aware of it. Consider for example day dreams, gut feel, inspirations, déjà vu, coincidence, synchronicity, premonitions, and so on.

For me personally, mediumship is not a focus on confirming life after death. Eternal life is a given, and death is only a change of our state of being.

The information that I have access to, help people achieve their full potential in their current life with least effort. I would never exclude contact with people that have passed over, but they will not necessarily be too concerned about our lives here when they have their own lives in a different dimension.

The messages that I convey are often related to Universal Law. I regularly get themes such as do what you say and say what you do, do what is right for you and it will be right for those around you, you have choices and are not powerless, break fears down in the same way you have built them up yourself, or there is no right or wrong.

These messages enrich our own lives and help us realise our own destiny and creativity. They help people achieve their potential and enrich their lives.

For me, mediumship must be practised in an ethical manner or not at all. I can only describe my own ethics to you, and cannot speak for anyone else. I will give you an idea of what you can expect from me.

I do not try to fix the world. It is far more important to rather look inside and “fix” myself. The energy that then ripples from me will make the world a better place.

I only provide message when I have the permission of the recipient. I would also NEVER pry into another person’s space simply because I am curious. I am not a peeping Tom.

I have learned to trust and listen carefully to what is communicated to me. Even if the message makes no sense to me (and especially then) I remind myself that I am the messenger and that my role is to communicate clearly what is given to me and not necessarily to understand. For example, I once saw a clear picture of a client trying to push five shopping trolleys at the same time. I described the picture and told her to slow down and not try to take on too much. She then told me that she had just started a small business, doing food shopping for professional people who do not have the time to do it for themselves, and the business had taken off faster than she anticipated.

In recent years I started getting more and more information about medical conditions of clients and the spiritual cause of these conditions. It often happens during a reading that I start to feel physical symptoms like shooting pains, nausea, burning sensations and so on. The moment it happens, I concentrate on these symptoms, because I know they are not mine. I feel them so that I can better describe to the client what I feel, and that helps me to be clear on the information that goes with the symptoms.

I never judge the person or the contents of the message. For example, I recently gave a message to a man that doubted himself and was very insecure about a relationship issue. I encouraged him to take risks, because I could see that each risk would pay off and give him more confidence. He was quite relieved and grateful for the advice. I then discovered that he was separated from his wife, and entering a new relationship with trepidation. For me personally it does not feel right for a married person to have another relationship before the marriage has been disbanded. However, this message to this client reminded me again that I am the messenger, not the judge.

I will also never have a drink and then convey a message (never mix spirits with spirits). This is out of respect for my gift.

I do not use my mediumship as a party trick. That is not why I have received this gift. When a person asks me for a reading in the presence of another person, I always tell them to rather consider having the reading in private. The reason for this is that once I start talking, I have no idea what will be conveyed. I respect the privacy of my clients.

Of course the other important issue is around “bad news”. Clients often tell me they do not want “bad news”. My answer is simple. I do not convey good or bad news. I simply describe the challenges that lie ahead, how they can be managed (but the choice is always yours) and what the outcome will be. I do not add the labels of “good” and “bad”, because one person’s good news is another person’s bad news. I am just the messenger. You live your life.

Sometime I will get images or specific words are repeated, and I have no idea what the communication is about. I then simply convey the information to the client, and they always know exactly what I am talking about. They do not always tell me, but that is OK with me. One recent example is where I was shown some machine that I did not recognise, but I knew it had to be handled with thick protective gloves. This was balanced by another image of the client writing in a book. The client told me that she was a radiologist, and that she had just started writing a book on a matter that was not work-related at all. She was not sure whether the writing was on the right track, and the image confirmed what she needed to know.

I also make a point of not questioning my client. If I ask questions, the temptation is there to interpret what my brain hears, rather than convey what my inner ear and other senses tell me. I often hear other mediums spending more time asking questions than conveying information, and then I wonder. But God uses each one of us in His/Her own way.

Because I am the messenger, I always first give the entire reading, and then, if the client wants to see cards, I use angel cards as confirmation of the message. I do not use tarot cards for readings. I will soon write a series of entries on tarot cards, and you may then understand why I choose not to use them for clairvoyant readings.

Clients deal with the messages in different ways. I have learnt from experience that the outcome is the same in the long run, and therefore it is quite OK with me if a client initially rejects the message. I have had many clients that came to me “for a laugh” and walked away being convinced and astonished. Others did not hear what they wanted to hear and rejected the messages outright, only to return at a later occasion with questions, wanting more information.

I do not question or judge the reactions of my clients. I recently had a client that first questioned me about my eating habits, because she had some preconceived ideas about what the diet of a medium should consist of. I then gave a message from her spirit guide about being petrified of taking a specific action, and she completely denied that. She then went to another medium that sat five steps away from me, and this medium gave her the same message, but indicated that the source was one of the client’s parents. This message was acceptable to her. It was not for me to question her preconceived ideas or to confront her for rejecting the message that I conveyed, because what was important was for the communication to get through to her.

Mediumship is not about converting people or getting them to change their ways. There are people whose religious beliefs exclude any recognition of for example spirit guides and guardian angels. I respect that and do not try to convince them.

My mediumship is a gift that I cherish and thank God for.
