Yes, there is a lot of it about. Still there are psychics who believe they are mediums and don’t even know the difference. This is beyond belief. They have surely never sat for development with an experienced medium tutor.
Or, an even worse scenario, they have sat but not taken any notice of the teacher, thinking they themselves know better. And yes, a good teacher can tell which you are using, psychic or mediumship. They know if you are linked to spirit, even when you do not.
I know how it goes. I have seen it all too often. They join a development circle and then decide they are too good for it and already know it all. The trouble is they then get on the platform and make a mess of it. They don’t produce the life after death proof which is the medium’s paramount job on the platform. They cannot, they haven’t got a mediums gift.
Remember, not all those who sit for development are mediumistic. Yes we are all psychic and can develop our psychic ability, but it does not make a medium. A medium is born with the gift. They may take time to know it, but when they develop it soon shows.
The same goes with trance. Some are convinced they have it, when they do not. They often give themselves away by opening their eyes whilst in a so called trance and having a normal conversation with people. What a crock! You cannot carry on in trance with your eyes fully open. Once you open your eyes your conscious state alters again. Even if you have been in trance, the act of opening your eyes brings you out of it.
The ones who rely on funny voices and a touch of gurning are the worst, but quite the funniest to watch. (Oh what fools the public think spiritualists are)
I witnessed the great Gordon Higginson in trance on many occasions. Never did he open his eyes whilst in trance. His guides and communicators would change during the sitting but he never opened his eyes. He brought forth many spirit communicators who gave proof of survival. What a true gem to aspire to.
For those of you who feel they are in trance but are still able to function as though you are not, consider this: you may be fooling yourself. Your perception of what trance really is may not be correct. You may be being overshadowed. This often happens. You may in fact be deluding yourself.
The problem here is that you will not be deluding others. They will watch you and see you are not in trance, unless they too know nothing of the subject. And you will be lowered in their esteem. I know of some so called trance mediums who are laughed at behind their backs. Not nice, but understandable. There is little more amusing to watch, than a bad actor.
Take care, and research your subject before finding yourself a good tutor. Only when your tutor is happy with your work will you be ready to show others.
