Mediumship Karma

Instant Mediums Karma

Have you ever considered the importance of the Job you do as a medium and how much responsibility that carries? I often wonder how many actually think of the responsibility on their shoulders or who miss it because they are too caught up in the evidence or desire to perform and make a living.

I have lost count of the times when a grieving individual has made contact only to tell of the terrible reading they had with another medium and how upset they were. Now I know that some of you will be thinking about how awful was the so-called evidence, or if the person was actually with spirit at all? The words used in the sitting are often used frivolously, without thought. The actual readings by many standards may be great and many would be happy to receive it, but how it is delivered and how the words are chosen must be done with care – or they can cut like a knife.

Try this exercise. Have someone or your partner or even a member of your circle stand in front of you with their hand and arm outstretched in front of them. Now with your two fingers lightly – but firmly resting on the top of their hand – start to push down as you say amazing wonderful and complimentary things. You will notice the person is still fairly strong and nothing will move them. Ok, take a moment, now do the same thing, but this time, being horrible and saying horrible things, nasty things to them and about them. You will now find they are powerless. You have taken and affected their personal energy by firing and charging negative energy and forced it upon them. This small exercise exemplifies how words can hurt and destroy someone’s joyful spirit.

Now let’s get back to the sitting with the medium and how the choices of words may actually cause more damage to the sitter than one could imagine. Statements like, “He’s not happy with you” or “You should not have done that” May sound innocuous but in actual fact, do more damage to the person’s spirit than you can imagine. In fact, there are so many examples that could be given, such as how the person passed etc. One must consider how frail the sitter’s spirit is and how much in turmoil they are in. It is, therefore, a great responsibility on the medium to be able to deliver that message in a caring, respectful and responsible way, and that unfortunately is few and far between today.

Karmic Influence

I am sure that you have all heard the saying “What goes around comes around,” which is that basis of karmic law – saying in layman’s terms that all debts must be paid and your responsibility is not something that you can escape, what you sow, so shall ye reap or words to that effect. So is it wise to consider the reality that a medium may shoulder more karmic responsibility than one would think. In reality, if you are steeped in a bath of ignorance, you won’t escape the karmic responsibility because you did not know any better, but it may be to a lesser degree. Even if you are ignorant of Karma, you still have a karmic responsibility. However, there is a hypothesis that suggests one who is spiritually aware, should, in effect know better. I am in no doubt that Karma acts quickly on an individual who has a high level of spiritual awareness. How the karmic debt is paid is of no consequence to anyone other than the relationship between the individual and the divine source or whatever they aspire toward. Nevertheless, the reality of checks and balances does have an immediate effect. As a consequence, this means that perhaps from a developed medium’s perspective the responsibility of what they say, do, and act has a greater effect and the scales of Karma tip one way more than the other.

Medium’s Beware

Let us now get back to the hypothesis of the mediumship reading. It’s very easy for a medium to reel off everything and anything they see, hear or feel without actually processing it properly. One sure sign of an untrained or undeveloped medium is following that pattern of “Just Say what you see.” In this instance, it is all too easy to cause more harm to the sitter because you are unable to discern what to say and how to put across the message in a compassionate way. I have lost count of the number of times I have heard a medium give a graphic representation of how the spirit person passed, and though they mean no malice, it causes tremendous angst and upset to the sitter because they are faced with the visions or emotions that compounded the grief.

So, consider this as another aspect of the aforementioned hypothesis, if indeed karma has an immediate effect upon an individual who may be progressed more spiritually than another or who may have more understanding of spiritual law. Does that mean the individual could be the catalyst to immediate karmic balance, or, would there be no change? It certainly is something to ponder on and think about. If you do something against your spiritual knowledge or make up for your own personal gain, there will be a karmic balance, but where does that leave the medium, should the medium have that discerning power, because ultimately you have taken on major responsibility of spirit and passing on information that can change a person’s life. If you knowingly give a grieving individual evidence because you feel it is strong and that evidence causes the individual to be further catapulted into grieving or indeed any other negative state, there could very well be an instant Karmic reaction. This also bears down on the old argument that mediums should not work too early until a sufficient amount of development and training has taken place. It’s not about the evidence, it’s about the whole package and as mediums who are supposed to be more aware, we have a deeper responsibility and I would suggest are subject to Instant Karma.

Eleven Years of Wisdom

I have an 11-year-old son with special needs, my post will be very long because he has told me much lately, and I wanted to share it with people who may understand him… I don’t, nor have I ever believed in anything like this, but he explains it so casually:

Brandon has always been a quirky kid, atypical from boys his age in the sense that he’s not interested in sports or cars and has what I’ve always referred to as an old soul.

When he was around five years old, he told me about his past life and how he died in a “jet crash.” I smiled and laughed it off as to his being creative, although he’s always had an almost positive attitude about death being just the beginning.

Today we had a heart to heart, he is now going on twelve years of age, and he gave me his thoughts on death. To my surprise, he instantly brought up the jet crash from his past life, insisting that he lost control of the engine, nosedived into the ocean, the force of the impact killed him, and the far left engine and gas tank burst.

He said it was not scary at all once he was dead, that it was about thirty seconds of darkness, that time goes by very very fast, a past relative comes and talks to you but you can’t remember what they say, and then you see the light… but the light is actually when you first open your eyes being born again.

His final words to me on this subject were: “if you seriously remember how you died, you need to tell me because no one will believe you, and it’s possibly because everyone is stuck in a time paradox, and it makes you special because you can remember your previous life, and might know how you’ll die in this life.” He insists he will die in an air crash again in this life, saying he will have to go do a report.

I picked Brandon’s brain for hours tonight, wish I would have taken notes. He is so sure of many things and kept saying how life is a “time paradox,” it can never make sense unless you remember your previous experiences.

When I asked him why children suffer from disease and die early, he said, “it’s more simple than you think.” We grow and learn from them, they die and are then reborn, and in their next paradox, they are disease free.

When I asked him about tragic accidents, like car crashes, fires, or drownings, he said “Simple, again. It’s destiny. It was meant to be in this paradox depending on decisions in your past lives.”

But as a seeker of Justice myself, I had to ask him about murderers, the worst of the worst evil beings. Surely they rot in hell amongst the devil for eternity?? No, not at all. Brandon says there actually is no devil and “the entity” is “eternal peace,” but will teach you a lesson in your next life to help you learn.

The soul of an evil person will be reborn into a very good, innocent person in the next life. For example, the soul of an evil man may be reborn into an innocent girl. Something brutal will happen to her, and when she dies, the soul will have experienced what it had inflicted in the lifetime before.

The lesson will be learned, and the soul will be reborn as a better person.

He said in the 30 seconds of death’s darkness and meeting with the relative and entity, years and years actually pass by in Earth’s time, until you are reborn and reconnect with the same souls from your past lives, because “we are here to help each other figure it out.”

I couldn’t help but feel a bit sad because this is all against what I believed at his age. I asked him about my grandma Diane, how she always prayed to the Virgin Mary and wouldn’t she be disappointed if she didn’t exist? Brandon laughed and said, “she does exist. They all exist. Every religion is really talking about the same entity.”

He says the entity is very kind and shows you your entire life very quickly and you judge yourself. “If you show remorse, it shows remorse.” He also claims that before you can even learn to speak, you know all the languages in the world, and as you grow, you forget. This is why children lear a foreign language easier than adults.

He says he likes to research these things because of his jet crash when he was in the air Force, and that research is just theory… But that all the research can never compare to what he KNOWS from his experience.

And for all you pet lovers, he says that our religion says animals don’t have souls, but that is totally wrong. Your pets get reborn too and you meet again in your next time paradox. Finally, in regards to “God,” Brandon says to think of him as the “Father of all time. He resets it over and over so you keep on living.”

The First Modern Pioneer of Energy-Based Physical Mediumship – Rita Goold

The First Modern Pioneer of Energy-Based Physical Mediumship – Rita Goold’
Part 1
 
Back in the 1980’s, some very unusual Physical Phenomena was being reported by those lucky people who experienced séances with Leicester-Based Physical Medium Rita Goold. Results included regular ‘Materialisation’ of Spirit Personalities and evidential messages from those Spirit ‘friends’ who visited Rita’s séances. Interestingly, although there was no doubt whatsoever of the ‘solid’ presence of these Spirit Visitors, there was no evidence whatsoever of the substance known as ‘ectoplasm’ which virtually all Spiritualists at that time claimed was ‘absolutely vital’ for the purposes of allowing Spirits to ‘Materialise’.
 
In fact, the lack of ‘ectoplasm’ during Rita’s séances caused many Sceptics and Die-Hard Spiritualists alike to cry ‘FRAUD’ where these unusual séances were concerned. The consequences of this were extremely shameful, coming – as they did – mainly from the Spiritual Community themselves!!!
 
It is a fact that Rita Goold was on the receiving end of frightening anonymous telephone threats warning her of dire consequences if she went ahead with the séances and scientific experiments. Vicious lies were also being spread to discredit and blacken her character. Rita was deeply hurt because she had dedicated her gift to bringing enlightenment to humanity. She had flatly refused to take one penny for the incredible inconvenience that she was subjected to. In fact she and her circle hosts, Barry and Pat Jeffery, were out of pocket every time a demonstration took place, and all the visitors were fed.
 
In 1983, I had already been researching and participating in Physical Mediumship and its phenomena for around 10 years, and had experienced many of its forms. I had belonged to active circles, and Sandra and I were running our own circle in Harold Wood. In my work, I travelled around the UK, and was fortunate enough to meet Rita Goold herself whilst I was in Leicester, where I had once lived. We had a very interesting conversation but – unfortunately – I never had the opportunity to sit with her in her circle.
 
It was really only after ‘The Scole Experiment’ in the 1990’s that I fully realised the similarities between Rita’s séances and our own Scole sittings. There was no doubt in my own mind that the phenomena which took place under Rita Goold’s mediumship MUST have been energy-based, just as ours was at Scole!!
 
Recently, I have discovered more worthwhile testimonies to the nature and value of Rita’s mediumship, and I would like to share some of those with our readers. A good friend of ours – Medium Christine Morgan (who sat with us at Scole on the day that Princess Diana’s death was announced) – spoke of Rita Goold’s mediumship in 2011, when she recounted what her father – UK medium Eddie Grenyer – had told her of his own personal experiences of ‘Materialisation’ in séances with Rita.
 
Eddie Grenyer met Alan Crossley whilst they were both working as mediums in the 1980’s, and they became good friends. At this time, Alan was investigating physical mediumship himself, as he had done for many years before. Sandra and I came to know Alan Crossley well ourselves as a friend who was very knowledgeable in the field of Physical Mediumship and its Phenomena. In fact, Alan became the second President of the Noah’s Ark Society, which I personally founded in 1990.
 
One of the frequent ‘solid’ Spirit visitors in Rita’s séances was the famous materialisation medium Helen Duncan. Alan knew her for many years and had often arranged and/or hosted her séances himself whilst she was still alive. After her death, Alan was the author of the book: ‘The Story of Helen Duncan – Materialisation Medium’. Following Helen’s death (as Alan told us many years later) Helen Duncan ‘telephoned’ him on a number of occasions (ringing his normal home telephone!!) from the Spirit World.
 
During one of the Rita Goold séances, Helen Duncan asked the circle to ‘find Alan Crossley, and invite him to sit with the circle’. Alan was duly found and invited to Rita’s. he sat with them and became a regular sitter. On one occasion, he sat with the circle 7 times on 7 consecutive nights, staying with Rita during the week. Years later he told us that he had been totally convinced of Rita’s genuine psychic abilities when – whilst conversing casually with her – he watched a child’s soft toy IN FULL LIGHT – ‘walking up the wall to the ceiling’!!
 
Alan Crossley’s visits to the Rita Goold Circle eventually led to Eddie Grenyer also being invited along on 8 or 9 occasions. Mr Grenyer spoke of the wonderful phenomena and evidence provided by the communicators at these sittings, and of the many discussions about them he had with Alan Crossley right up to the time of Alan’s passing to Spirit himself in the late 1990’s.
 
Helen Duncan was one of the main controls of the circle, together with Laura Lorraine (Rita’s own grandmother). Rita’s séances (like those at Scole) were all held in the dark and NO ectoplasm was used. Helen Duncan herself said that the reason for Spirit’s ‘no ectoplasm’ policy was the fact that ectoplasm could be dangerous. Helen herself had died after being harmed by inappropriate police action during a raid at one of Helen’s séances in Nottingham.
 
Instead, Rita’s Spirit team explained that they were using an ‘energy’ as old as time itself. They said that Rita Goold was rare in having an abundance of this energy, so that it was possible for it to be used for the ‘materialisation’ of actual Spirit People during séances.
 
Spirit actually produced some of the ‘spirit lighted’ conditions themselves on occasions for sitters to see the ‘materialised’ visitors (reminiscent of the spirit lights we had at Scole for the same purpose). When this happened, the silhouette and solid form of the Spirit person could be seen. Sometimes, however, without the spirit lights, evidence could only be given through the Independent Direct Voice of the visiting spirit themselves.
 
Eddie Grenyer was present on one occasion when Raymond Lodge visited the circle and conversed with the sitters. There were spirit lights produced, and sitters could see the clear outline of Raymond’s boots and army uniform. He did not completely solid, but there was no question as to the fact that he was – indeed – materialised and completely solid as he stood in the room.
 
Laura Lorraine was a very significant Spirit Character at the séances. She had actually died giving birth to Rita’s mother, aged just 22. Before that, she had been a young singer in the Music Halls. This was confirmed by the beautiful quality of her singing in the séances.
 
In fact, Eddie Grenyer stated that on two occasions he had been pulled from his chair by the solid form of Laura Lorraine, who then proceeded to waltz around the room with him!! Once Laura had also asked him to run his hand down her body to prove that she was quite solid and, furthermore, was a female with feminine curves!! Whenever Laura was there, sitters were treated to the strong smell of her favourite old-fashioned perfume too.
 
Helen Duncan materialised and conversed many many times with Alan Crossley, and Eddie Grenyer was a witness to this – as well as having direct conversations with Helen himself in his capacity as a medium.
 
There were quite a lot of apports during the séances, with Spirit saying they were experimenting. A friend of Eddie’s was given by Spirit the apport of a small furry toy mouse. He was told to give this to children to hold whilst he was giving them healing – which he did – and several of the young patients reported that the mouse gave off heat and energy when this happened.
 
For Alan Crossley specifically, the sittings he had with Rita Goold represented a totally new style of physical phenomena, which he found extremely comfortable and evidential. Alan himself described this feeling:
“Gone are the cabinets, black draperies and semi-religious trappings,” he explained. “The sittings are notable for their informality. From my point of view, the new methods and techniques used by the spirit operators mark the greatest turning point in psychic history. Void of all mystique, there is none of the spooky atmosphere so common in former years.”
The absence of ectoplasm in evolving materialisations during Rita Goold’s seances was seen by Alan Crossley as a new development in mediumship. He stated at the time:
 
“There are many features concerning the new phenomena which clearly distinguish them from all previous methods,” he said. “This shift away from old techniques can only help rather then hinder progress towards a better understanding of the whole subject. The question many will ask is: ‘How do they do it?’ That is, of course, too complex a question at this stage and one that has not so far been revealed.”
 
Ten years later – in the 1990’s – another Spirit Team (working with us at Scole) went on to replicate much of the phenomena that had been witnessed during the sittings in Rita Goold’s Circle (whilst working ostensibly in the same way), and expanded on the work they had done there. Luckily, during the five years of ‘The Scole Experiment’ our Spirit Team were able to explain the mechanics of the energy-based phenomena in depth to us, so we could pass that information on to others.
 
But what all of us should remember is that it happened through Rita Goold’s mediumship FIRST. Rita is truly the First Modern Pioneer of Energy-Based Physical Phenomena!!
