Mediumship

[Lorri]

Hi

I am a Medium and am not posting in an attempt to convert, but just to state a fact about the work that I do. The fact is that I work with the mind (no mental jokes please). My work is intangible, in that I am not able to show you a product, you cannot hold what I offer and inspect it. You cannot buy it by the kilo etc., it is only of value to the receiver. I never know anything about the people I read for and only read for those who want evidence of survival. I am not a fortune teller and am not interested in whether someone is going to meet the person of their dreams etc.,

I recently did a reading for a lady in her 50's. The ladies father came through, said his name and what condition he passed with. I saw him clasping the hand of a young man and hold the clasped hands in the air, like in triumph. I explained this to the lady and told her that I felt the young man had some sort of mental health problem.

After the reading the lady told me that her father had recently passed and her mother was inconsolable. Prior to the father passing a son had committed suicide. He was 21 and suffering from schizophrenia. The mother was now bereft as the young man had never been christened and he had killed himself, she was certain that he had gone to a different place than his father.

I tape all my sessions and the lady I read for was able to play this to her mother, to show her that father and son were together.

To connect to the universal power I need to be relaxed and not feel stressed. I am not on this earth to convert anyone, just to use my gift to help those that ask.

For fourteen years I gave my gift free, working in industry in the day (50 hour weeks) and reading for people nights and weekends. At one stage I held a weekly healing clinic in my home, where five healers would work every Thursday and there would always be at least six patients for each healer. No one was ever charged for this service and I witnessed incredible things.

I now charge for my services but would never turn anyone away if they were in need but could not pay.

You may ask, why have I posted in a place where anything intangible is expressed as a woo woo. Well why not, I have a right to my beliefs and opinion. Will I enter in to some sort of test? no thank you, it is not for me to prove to you but for you to find your own proof, if you are intersted.

Lorri,

Welcome to the forum.

As I understand it, you can get in touch with dead people? Would you be interested in demonstrating your ability on PalTalk?

 

[Lorri]

No thanks CFLarsen, but thank you for asking

 

[Paul C. Anagnostopoulos]

Thank you for your testimony. Welcome to the forum.

I was going to ask for a transcript of the reading you mention, but it sounds like you don't care to validate it.

I don't think we dismiss all things intangible. Love is intangible, but I certainly don't dismiss it. Talking to deceased spirits sounds fairly concrete, actually. It will be difficult for us to find our own proof if those who claim to do it will not demonstrate it.

[CFLarsen]

Lorri,

I'm sorry that you are not interested in demonstrating your ability. Not as a test, but merely as a demonstration.

How do you suggest that we find our own proof, if you are so reluctant to show us?

 

[Lorri]

Thank you for your testimony. Welcome to the forum.

Hi Paul, although I tape all my readings, I only make one tape and that is for the person I read for. I think that the work that I do is a personal thing, in that people come to an understanding of an afterlife through experience, and I do not necessarily mean through bereavement.

Some people have an inner knowing, others have spiritual experiences, others suffer bereavement and are given evidence etc., etc.,

When we have no concept of any of these things then obviously it is difficult to accept and we do want proof of what others are experiencing, as a believe in survival of death is not blind faith.

I have come to realise that accepting survival is like tuning in a radio. Most people are off the frequency and cannot pick up the subtle and cryptic communication that the universe sends. It is only when we gain life experiences and have to deal with difficulties that the tuning takes place.

 

[Paul C. Anagnostopoulos]

Lorri, I think that your "some of us got it" and "some of us don't" attitude is condescending. But, as so often seems the case, there is nothing here to attract me to "want to get it." What did you tell the lady that was of any benefit to her, other than perhaps to bolster her belief in heaven and hell?

Hi CFLarsen,

I really do think that you are able to get your own proof and it is this proof that is invaluable to us. Sit in the quiet and speak in your head. Ask the person that is working with you from the spirit world to give you proof of his/her existence. When spirit move close to me I can feel it around the head and face area. On the face I get a very gentle feeling like cobwebs, around the head it might be a pressure or a light stroke.

The person that works with me filters thoughts in to my mind, he also filters picture images and gives me a sensing

I am also given lots of external evidence when some one is around me. Electricity is easy for those in spirit to manipulate. Lights turning on and off, television changing channels etc., etc., I might wake up with a song in my head and I take notice of the words or who I associate the song with. Smell is another way of communication. My gran always comes to me with the smell of mint. Objects moving, say if there was a picture of someone that was dead and the picture falls for no reason, then it could be safe to assume that person was around.

Those that have passed come back and fore to the ones that they love to be of help.

I believe that our natural state is pure spirit. In that state our mind power is immense, it is that mind power that can move objects, intervere with electrics etc., In the spirit world we do not need a body.

Hi Paul

So sorry if you thought I was being condescending. It was the last thing I wanted to be but it is so difficult to explain things without some sensitive sole taking offence. Again - sorry.

I would have thought it was quite obvious what the benefits were to the lady. Her husband was apparently a wonderful man, he communicated that even though the son had not been christened and had committed suicide (the two things that were a great worry to the lady) that they were together. I would have said that it prooved there was no heaven and hell, just a universal place that we all go to and that those two were together.

Love is intangible?? I thought it was just various physical processes in the brain. Is that not correct?

 

[CFLarsen]

Lorri,

How do you know that you are not merely fooling yourself, when you do what you describe (the cobweb-thingie) what happens?

E.g. how do you distinguish between a song popping up in your head and a song popping up in your head meaning a spirit communicating? Or are all of those incidents evidence of spirits? Whenever a picture falls down, it is always a spirit doing it?

Re. the external evidence: May I ask you to read this short article on the electricity phenomenon, and tell me if you think what is described there could explain what happens. If not, why not?

Hi CF

I do not subscribe to all these things equalling spirit communication. It is a long process, takes a lot of tuning, to know what is communication and what is not. The first thing that we get is the 'happening' to get our attention and then after that comes the guidance. For instance, a few days ago I was sat with the television on. My mind was elsewhere, I began to go over a particular family problem. My televison switched off and I said 'OK, I know that I should switch off'. Immediately I acknowledged the communication the television switched back on. Thanks for the link to the article mentioned and I will take the time to visit.

 

[CFLarsen]

Lorri,

OK, then, how do you distinguish between:

1) A picture falling down

2) A picture falling down, spirit doing it

?

 

[Lorri]

Lorri,

The article is here: Spiritual Lights

Hi CF

I have just been to the link and agree that there is always a rational explanation to everything. I have copied the folowing:

'Again, I dont know what spirits can do, provided they exist, but if John's spirit wanted to contact this lady, it would have been a whole lot easier for it to give her a ring on the phone, write fiery letters on the wall, or something like that.'

If we were supposed to all know without any doubt that there is a spirit world that can interact with this world then I am confident that John could have called on the phone of wrote fiery letters on the wall but the acceptance or understanding is something we have to work towards.

When I experience the cobweb feeling on my face, or the pressure around my head it is followed by communicating - thoughts etc., and that is how I know

 

[CFLarsen]

Lorri,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. If there is always a rational explanation to everything, why do you choose to believe the irrational explanation to pictures falling off the wall?

The problem with you feeling the "cobweb" is that nobody else can verify if the spirit did it. We have to rely entirely on your word.

Don't you see a problem with this?

 

[Nigel]

Hi Lorri, I just also wanted to welcome you to the forum. At the moment, I'll reserve any comments I may have about the possibiltiy or non-possibility of contacting the dead, but I will say I for one am interested in reading more about what you have to say. And if I feel I have something worth hearing, I may chime in about it. Otherwise, simply regard this post as a welcome.

 

[Lorri]

Hi Nigel

Thank you so much for welcoming me to the forum. I have had so many amazing experiences and so much confirmation that there is an after life.

For instance, two weeks ago a lady in her 50's, who I shall call Jean, came to see me. Here mum came through immediately, gave good evidence of survival and told me that her daughter had been 'hit'. It transpired that Jean was a domestic abuse victim. She was a professional lady, holding down a responsible job and she functioned superbly in the work place. Her colleagues probably would have described her as powerful. However, in her home it was a different story.

Her husband would punch her, kick, bite, pull her hair and verbally abuse her. He alienated her children and family and she became a 'victim'. There was a final incident which made her flee the home and take refuge in a women's unit. Of course, all her family, colleagues and friends came to hear of it and her sense of shame was awful. She had been with this guy for nine years. He had moved in to her home and eventually she gave him a third share of the home, as it seemed only fair as he was contributing to the household.

The women's unit helped Jean to take proceedings in the court to get her husband out of the house and Jean to go back in. The house is now up for sale and this is the scenario that prompted her to contact me. I encouraged Jean to attend spiritual education adn development classes that I hold as she was getting spirit communication and she wanted to make sense of it and receive guidance. I told her that when she left me I was handing her over to HQ (which is what I call the man from spirit that works with me) and that she would get further spirit communication as confirmation.

Two days later she rang and told me that she had gone home, that her house was all secure (locks had been changed, burglar alarm re-coded etc) and that on the stairs was a bottle of Bach Flower Remedy. She was freaked and was asking me 'how did it get there'. I explained it was an apport and encouraged her to look on the web for an explanation. I asked what flower it was and said said Wild Oat. I was able to tell her this was for people who feel that they want to do something worthwhile with their lives but do not know in which direction they should move. The remedy helps people to find their true role, putting them back in touch with their own basic purpose in life so that the way ahead seems obvious.

A little later she rang me and said that her kitchen lights were very steadily turning on - off - on - off (without the switch moving). I told her that symbolically your kitchen was where you prepared to serve - I explained to her that it was like she had been in universtiy and had learned all this stuff, she could now make use of it and that undoubtedly she could serve mankind in some way.

Jean attended her first class last week and cried for a good part of it as there were people around her who were offering encouragement and support. I am confident that those in the spirit world who are working with her will help her to achieve what she came her to achieve.

Lorri,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. If there is always a rational explanation to everything, why do you choose to believe the irrational explanation to pictures falling off the wall?

A spirit doing it? Why is that irrational exactly?

Edit to add: It should be doing more worthwhile things in the afterlife realm perhaps?

. The remedy helps people to find their true role, putting them back in touch with their own basic purpose in life so that the way ahead seems obvious.

Why would a spirt supply a useless remedy?

tangible 2 : capable of being precisely identified or realized by the mind *her grief was tangible*

It may be a physical process, but it is difficult to precisely pin down.
