There are several forms of physical mediumship. The most important thing about physical mediumship though is, it is physical, therefore, everyone should be able to witness it.
There should be no doubting the effects of the physical gift. If it is transfiguration then all the ‘audience’ should be able to see the same changes. There should be no disagreement.
If it is direct voice, then all the witnesses should hear the same voice or voices, saying identical words.
If it is physical mediumship, where ectoplasm builds up inside a cabinet and then appears outside it, everyone should see the same figure.
It is not physical mediumship if it cannot been seen or heard with the physical eyes and ears we mortals have. You do not have to be a medium or clairvoyant to see physical things.
Don’t insult your intelligence with thinking you have to be able to squint to see the apparition properly. If it is there you should see it!
In the dark with only a red lamp bulb, people do not appear to look the same. There are those who dress in black and have a red light shining on them in an otherwise dark room, to give the impression that something psychic or spiritual is going on. When maybe they are just good at pulling faces.
I have seen many a demonstration of ‘Trance’! Or should I say ‘so called trance’! I am sure 99% of these were not in trance at all. Maybe they are deluding themselves, but they haven’t fooled me. Don’t let them fool you.
There are lots of good mediums out there, why be fooled by people who say they are in trance. Who needs them.
Ask yourself serious questions about the event. Does the person giving the demo have anything to offer that they cannot offer when not in a ‘trance’ state. Do they offer clairvoyance or is it just a question and answer session which could well be their own thoughts.
If a medium genuinely goes into trance, it is usually for a very good reason. This reason is to give some evidence that cannot be given without the trance. The guide will use the trance in order to provide the proof.
More on this subject later.
