The following are the types of altered states of consciousness with the associated brainwave frequencies.

Panning 0.49 ~ 0.01 Hz -- "Where Have You Gone?"

We all look quite normal - but some of us are a bit different - it just takes a bit of time to develop this ability that opens so many doors, not just this one ability in itself thats so interesting, but the door to mediumship too YOU can chose!

Living with this ability can be fun, and while the training for mediumship takes into consideration that there will be changes as development progresses in the human psyche, a natural psychic has to contend with the opening of the ability much on their own, so here I have attempted to explain the whys and where fore’s a bit....

The definition of Psychism for our purposes here is the ability to feel the sub-text of what is being said or felt - as in hidden meaning. Not Mediumship, which is the ability of passing through the self, information from the spirit world. [For clarification of this point see articles under ‘Mediumship']

If a person is psychic, which most people are to a certain extent, then intuition is mostly what it is called, and it’s a blessing. It saves us from embarrassment or conversely makes us aware that we have caused it. No problem there on a world scale. After becoming aware of this gift we can develop it into a natural process without necessarily knowing what it is called - psychism.

Living with psychism in oneself does take a bit of getting used to, if one is not born with this state and so accept it from birth.

2. Ignore it out of the usual context of Classes or Church, i.e. not listen to it although still able to hear it.

5. Living with this gift and not being able to turn if of. Difficult to live with for all concerned; which one are you?

First of course one needs the ability to know who has and hasn’t this psychic awareness, I find that they are usually standing out from the group because they seem to live in a world of their own, and have to have the social niceties spelled out for them, no, I’m not joking. The grounding factor here has not been worked on at all, this ‘head in the clouds syndrome’ could be attributed to lack of brain – but is more often than not only a preference to be unaffected by the discomfort of ones fellow man. For the partner of one such person it must be difficult to live with, but they are more often than not very much loved indeed for their innocence.

OTHERS who are aware: The very aware psychic could be described as ‘street wise’ in the self-preservation stakes. It’s the motive behind using this advantage, that matters, ; i) selfish gain, ii) selfless altruism. We who are honest could not say is only ‘business’ as the mafia are well known for saying in films!

Problems don’t start when we detect through this gift what is in essence is an ‘untruth’ simply because social tactfulness is oil on the waters of life as we all know. The problems start when we know that lies are evident to ourselves but not to others.

First in the work place: For example, the boss tells staff that jobs are safe only for selfish gain, and to the workforce’s detriment. Management want them to stay on knowing the money is not there to pay them. Psychic intuition is at work but the doubt in us says…“I might be wrong, and don’t want to think that I am being lied to deliberately after so many years here.” The psychic gets out of there and into a new job quickly, and does their best to convince friends to do the same, trusting their own gift. A moral dilemma that is not hard to solve, but as we know this can be difficult to explain to ones friends.

Secondly what happens when a group of people who are all psychic get together? We would think that psychism is a great advantage. Unfortunately this is not always so. The organisation where power is on offer would seem to attract all kinds of people. The voluntary organisation is particularly vulnerable to this problem. Who is attracted to this kind of group? Concerning us more here is the two sorts of psychic particularly attracted to the church organisation.

“Leave it up to Spirit” is a common cry. “It is all the work of Karma” is another. “It was meant to be!” yet another cry of so called ‘reason’.

What is the philosophy behind this? It’s the philosophy of ‘So it is written,’ and ‘we can make no difference’ that of the cynic.

But what of this third group? The unknown warrior! Where does this hero find training and help?

Not the organisation per se, because we are just as open to the attack of egotistical psychic as the next place, no, it’s through the PHILOSOPHY OF SPIRITUALISM and living it out in our lives, that’s the difference, living it out in our lives. Where do we get the courage? From Spirit guides and helpers, training us to co-operate with them. How? Through gentle contact – meditation and visualisation.

We don’t have to be psychic to see where the selfish ego tripper is intruding into our lives, do we? No. But to be a psychic and a spiritualist is a responsibility that is too often ignored when fighting means making ones self perhaps vulnerable. And here we have it. Vulnerability means putting oneself at risk, it means fear might take hold, indeed it more often than not has already a grip on us before the thoughts are grouping up for the challenge.

Spiritualism takes away that fear, it gives the confidence to use the psychic gifts through developing a link with the world that sees beyond where we are in our lives just now, the spirit people have a greater view of what is happening simply by being where they are, in spirit, and we know from the Masters, and also writings of the ‘passed over’, through mediums chosen for this purpose, that they are just waiting for us to join with them in the fight for good against the ego. [See Reading for All / Book List “The Blue Island” & “Many Mansions” etc...]

The natural psychic needs to make a conscious choice to become more aware and to do something about that awareness process, or find that a lack of direction make life harder than it need to be, simple.

The psychic must decide which party s/he is going to work for, i.e. the self or others.

In finding that other people use this psychic awareness to advantage, and seeing that they too have made their choices another decision stands out.

Join them or work against them! It is no enough to say "Live and let live," spirit cannot do all the work for good on their own. This does not mean you are going to 'war'. No, all you have to do is say your prayers and spirit will act. They cannot act without this request, thats called taking away our free-will.

It behoves us all to join with the angels – not just in a metaphorical sense – but a literal one too, to overcome our own egos as well as other peoples. Spirit people come in love and light to only help where they can, and we must ask for that help, [they cannot intrude - it takes away the freewill aspect.]

When we waste this psychic gift and do nothing with it, it's a crying shame, but that is free will as given.

When we see the corruption of this gift into unfair advantage it is our best opportunity to seek help from the ‘other side’.

The only way is foreword on the path of progression, and spiritualism shows us the way.

A Medium is in direct communication with people who have passed into the spirit world. Mediumship is the ability to receive, recognise and convey information from the worlds of spirit.

There are two forms of mediumship

PHYSICAL MEDIUMSHIP means that Spirit actually manifest upon the earth. For obvious reasons, there will not be a demonstration of physical mediumship through the course.

MENTAL MEDIUMSHIP - A very old saying amongst mediums is that you have to be slightly mental to actually do it but this is working with the spirit world via the mental processes. Some forms of this are

'Clairvoyance' means 'clear seeing'. Often the term is wrongly used to only mean giving messages from spirit, but it has a much broader meaning. It can mean clear seeing with the mind not only for spiritualist mediums but for people involved in psychic work such as prediction, fortune telling, crystal ball reading.

As we are looking at mediumship, we shall deal with just this aspect. There are two levels of clairvoyance:

Subjective Clairvoyance - The dictionary meaning of 'subjective' is 'proceeding from or belonging to the individual consciousness or perception; imaginary, partial or distorted'. Therefore, in subjective clairvoyance, a picture, or spirit person appears to the medium in their 'mind's eye' and this can be in black and white or in colour.

Objective Clairvoyance - The dictionary meaning of 'objective' is 'external to the mind; actually existing; real. Therefore, in objective clairvoyance, the vision appears to be in actual physical form. Many people experience objective clairvoyance in their daily lives (GHOSTS), which is evidence that mediumship is perfectly natural.

Clairaudience means 'clear hearing' and as with clairvoyance can be subjective or objective. Subjective clairaudience is heard in the mind, and the medium is mentally aware of the words being said. Objective clairaudience is where the voice or sound is heard physically.

Clairsentience means 'clear feeling’ and the medium may feel or sense emotions, pains and illnesses, personality and characteristics. Clairsentience however uses the emotional psychic centers rather than the mental psychic centers.

Inspiration is the use of the thought-flow from a spirit intelligence to communicate with the material world. Inspiration can be of several forms:

Inspirational art - The medium draws what he/she sees mentally. Often the medium needs to be a good artist to put down on paper what is seen in the 'mind's eye.

Inspirational music - The medium writes down music, which is heard mentally.

Inspirational poetry - The medium is inspired by spirit to write poetry.

Inspirational talk or address - The medium speaks, without having first prepared a talk or address. Often this can be done in a trance state

A Psychic is someone who works on the material and physical level, working with information available to everyone. This information may come from another person's aura, from another's thoughts or from information available from the earth's aura, such as in the case of water divining. A psychic can 'tune in' to these auric fields and pick up moods, emotions, illnesses, thoughts, events that have occurred and perhaps events that will inevitably happen.

Psychometry - Reading someone' s aura that has been transferred to a flower or item of jewellery.

Palmistry - Why do you think a palmist holds your hand, to see the lines or read your aura?

Tarot Reading - The cards retain your aura, and the proximity of the reader to the client makes psyching relatively easy.

An aura surrounds every animate or inanimate thing on our planet, the Earth too has its own aura, by psyching into these then:-

Dowsing - Finding water or minerals by remote sensing can be explained, and also the finding of bodies lost or hidden. Although admittedly this can be given from spirit

Crystal Gazing - Fortune telling by using crystal balls, crystals, glass, water and other reflective materials.

Psychokinesis - Mind over matter - moving objects by thought or will power alone. (by influencing the aura in a way similar to magnets attracting and repelling)

These are not mediumship they belong to the psychic and are accomplished without spirit intervention.

The aura is intangible, but can be touched, it is mysterious, but open. Unseen, but so easily felt, the aura is part of our soul's presence on this world. The aura is the door to our past, indeed, for those who believe in reincarnation, our entire past lives within it. It carries everything we have done; who we are literally shines around us. When the aura is 'read' by a developed psychic much can be revealed, dim memories almost lost are suddenly found again. Many think that this is due to spirit intervention. Not so, it is purely read from the aura.

While psychic work is just as valid as spirit linking, the two should not be confused. A psychic link may develop into a communication with spirit. A developed psychic is even capable of touching the spiritual aura, letting the subject know more about themselves than they thought possible, and, incidentally, amazing the psychic too.

Most mediums are also well-developed psychics, but they are also clear where the information they are giving out is being obtained. An honest medium admits when they are psyching, and as long as the difference is known, psychic readings are of just as much value as a link with spirit.

In fact our psychic meetings are the best attended at the church. The first, and probably the most important lesson, a psychic or medium learns is honesty, with their audience, but most importantly with themselves.
