Master Mediums
 | Have you ever tried to stare at a single object for a long time? Your mind becomes bored and begins to play tricks on you. It doesn’t want to focus on just one object, so extraneous thoughts start darting across your mind to distract you from what your eyes are focused on. Setting a goal can be like that, too. You can become so focused on the goal that you miss other things in your peripheral vision. My goal in the last few years is to develop platform mediumship. It is not an easy task, for a good medium needs to utilize many skills, not one at a time, but simultaneously. Not only does the medium have to hone their sensitivity to sense or feel those who reside in the Spirit World, but they must also learn how to present the information to hold an audience’s attention. Then, the student medium has to learn how to increase their energy to communicate with the Spirit and remember to ask the Spirit questions. At the same time, s/he holds a conversation with a physical person in the congregation. If the flow of communication bogs down, so does the energy, and the link with the Spirit can come to a screeching halt, leaving the medium without anything further to say. All of this is a lot to juggle at one time. |
 | Therefore, when one has the opportunity to watch a medium who has mastered all these skills, it is a truly wonderful opportunity. I have just finished watching one of Lisa Williams’ new television shows. I must admit I was somewhat moved by it. She seems natural and comfortable as if she is sitting and talking with a client. However, she is truly a master at what she does. She brings forth and builds the evidence, proving the identity of the spirit communicator to the sitter. What is truly remarkable is watching the sitters react to the evidence, watching how the sitter recognizes each piece, until at the end of the reading, there is no doubt that Lisa has contacted the person she claimed. |
 | It has all been captured on videotape, creating a permanent record of this wonderful communication between the two worlds. Imagine what a student artist would give to watch Monet paint his famous Water Lillies. Those of us developing our mediumship can watch and study a great master, do her work, rewind it, and rewatch it. |
 | If you find mediumship inspiring, you will be enamored with her work. Furthermore, it will be a good warm-up for those planning to see Val Williams when she visits Gifts of the Spirit Church next month. Val is also a master medium who can juggle all those skills so effortlessly that she makes you think mediumship is simple. She is inspiring, and I am sure you will gain much from seeing her work and asking her questions at the forum that will follow our Sunday service on December 14, 2008. Please join us for this exciting event. Gifts of the Spirit Church has not had a medium of this caliber since the days when Carl would regularly give Spirit messages at the weekly services. |
