Mediumship involves a spirit communicator using a human medium to present information or cause paranormal phenomena. There are two main types - mental/telepathic mediumship where a medium psychically receives messages from spirits, and physical mediumship where spirits manipulate physical energies and cause observable effects. For physical effects, spirits may use ectoplasm/photoplasm substances secreted from the medium's body to materialize and make themselves visible. Famous examples of mental mediums include Theresa Caputo and Edgar Cayce, while physical mediums allow spirits to directly manipulate physical substances and energies.

Mediumship; The Supreme Evidence Of The Afterlife?
What Exactly Is Mediumship ?
Mediumship is the process whereby a human instrument, known as a medium or channel, is used by one or more discarnate (having no material body or form) spirit personalities for the purpose of: Presenting information, verifiable or otherwise. Causing socalled paranormal activities to occur. Channeling forth certain types of energies. Manifesting themselves materially for ob!ective e"amination and#or identification. $rom this definition, we observe the following: Mediumship involves a cooperating effort between a person on the %arth plane (the medium) and a person in &pirit (the communicator). 'here are several ob!ectives behind the manifestation of mediumship. 'herefore, mediumship involves the cooperation between at least two individuals: (n %arthplane channel or medium ( spirit communicator or operator. )ou will note that we distinguish between a spirit communicator and a spirit operator. Phenomena Throuh Mediumship 'here are two distinct types of phenomena that can occur through mediums: Communication Manipulation of energies and energy systems. ( spirit who uses a medium for the purpose of communication, either verbally or visually, is known as a spirit communicator. ( spirit who uses a medium for the intent of working with and#or manipulating energies or energy systems is called a spirit operator. 'his distinction is very general, and it should be noted that a spirit operator can, and often does, communicate. 'hus, mediumship can be distinguished as two basic types: Mental Mediumship Physical Mediumship Mental !Telepathic" Mediumship Mental mediumship involves the relating of information, through communication, via the varied aspects of thought transference better known as mental telepathy. Mental telepathy is the relaying of information via thought without using any of the five physical senses (sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell). $rom this we derive the terms paranormal or outside and without the use of the normal human senses and extrasensory perception (%&P).
Mental mediumship takes place within the consciousness of the medium. 'he results are then e"pressed verbally and must pass through the medium*s mouth (laryn" or voice bo"). +ecause of its telepathic nature, mental mediumship is sometimes referred to as telepathic mediumship. ,n a demonstration of mental mediumship, it is the medium who telepathically hears, -sees. (without eyesight much like we -see. in dreams), and -feels. (again as we might sense a feeling in a dream) what the spirit communicators are relating. ,t is the medium*s function to relate the information, with minimum personal influence and pre!udice, to the recipient of the message, also known as the sitter. 'he sitter is typically the one who also is seeking the information possibly presenting and asking /uestions through the medium to the spirit in contact. Physical Mediumship Physical mediumship involves the manipulation and transformation of physical systems and energies. 'he spirit operators, in this case, are causing something to happen upon the %arth plane. 0hat it is that actually happens varies with the style of mediumship involved, but the results can be seen and heard by others. 0hy &pirit Communication1 by 2ev. &imeon &tefanidakis http:##www.fst.org#whyseek3.htm "Physical mediumship is the process whereby a discarnate, in Spirit, usually known as a spirit operator 1. works or operates through the mental AND physical energies o the medium and !. causes something physical to happen on the "arth plane. Physical mediumship is ob#ecti$e in nature% that is, when the phenomena occur, e$eryone is able to see and&or hear them." 'he implications, here, are really /uite staggering: mind is capable of affecting matter. Perhaps this is the most pertinent implication lying at the foundation of physical mediumship. Modern Examples of Mental Mediumship 'heresa Caputo aka the 'ong (sland )edium after her television show of the same name is a mental or telepathic medium. &he communicates with spirits typically who are related to the sitter or person who she relays the spirit4s message(s). Ms. Caputo e"ecutes her mediumship in oneonone sittings, in groups of sitters and has been seen seeking out individuals in public places where spirits have communicated information to relatives or friends who are neither asking nor seeking communications. &he is gifted with: *lair$oyance or 5Clear &eeing5, is the ability to see anything that is not physically present, such as ob!ects, animals or people. 'his sight occurs 5in the mind4s eye5 or it appears as a movie, a television program or a still picture like a photograph in their mind. *lairaudience or 5Clear 6earing5, is usually defined as the ability to hear the voices or thoughts of spirits. &ome mediums hear as though they are listening to a person talking to them on the outside of their head, as though the &pirit is ne"t to or near to the medium, and other mediums hear the voices in their minds as a verbal thought. *lairsentience or 5Clear &ensing5, is the ability to have an impression of what a spirit wants to communicate, or to feel sensations instilled by a spirit. *lairsentinence or 5Clear $eeling5 is a condition in which the medium takes on the ailments of a spirit, feeling the same physical problem which the spirit person had before death. *lairalience or 5Clear &melling5 is the ability to smell a spirit. $or e"ample, a medium may smell the pipe tobacco of a person who smoked during life. *lairgustance or 5Clear 'asting5 is the ability to receive taste impressions from a spirit. *laircogni+ance or 5Clear 7nowing5, is the ability to know something without receiving it through normal or psychic senses. ,t is a feeling of 5!ust knowing5. 8ften, a medium will claim to have the feeling that a message or situation is 5right5 or 5wrong.5 'he 9ong ,sland Medium ': &eries https:##www.youtube.com#watch1v;lc<=>?+@c%w %dgar Cayce is perhaps the most prolific mental medium having channeled over gave over A,BCC health readings, over D,ACC life readings that concern reincarnation and more than E,<CC special readings dealing with a variety of topics over his career (d. DAFG). %ach is detailed with letters of corroboration. http:##www.edgarcayce.org#are#edgarcayce.asp"1id;EC<F Considered the proof of his mediumship was the healing of his own wife, Hertrude, who had become e"tremely ill. Cayce was told by her doctors that she had tuberculosis and was dying. 8ut of desperation, he decided to do a reading for her. 6e gave e"plicit instructions for her care, which were then carried out by their doctors and after only two days of this treatment Hertrude was feeling better and in a few months her doctors diagnosed her as recovered. (long with sharing many of 'heresa Caputo4s gifts, %dgar Cayce was talented with: precognition (is the ability to see into the future). retrocognition (is the ability to see into the past). #o$ %o Spirit Operators &tili'e Physical Mediums? ,n order for spirits to physically materialiIe, they take substances from the physical body to form what is called ectoplasm and photoplasm. 'he word ectoplasm, from the Hreek ektos, 5outside,5 and plasma, 5something that can be formed or molded,5 as in plastic, first enters the discourse about spirit in Hermany and $rance. ,t was borrowed from biology and is further defined as 5a viscous substance...from which spirits make themselves visible forms...alive, sensitive to touch and light... cold to the touch, slightly luminous and having a characteristic smell....5 http:##bit.ly#2sa/nJ Photoplasm is a refined form of ectoplasm that can be used in visible red and blue light. +oth substances can also be taken from other physical ob!ects like clothes, carpets, or furniture, in a sitter4s circle (s,ance) but it4s mainly comes from the physical mediums body. ,t can be soft as cottonwool or hard as steel depending on the use to which it is going to be put. 6annen &waffer, the famous !ournalist, described it as a *living whiteness*. 8nce the ectoplasm or photoplasm is formed, a spirit can clothe itself in this material to allow it to be seen in our world. 'he mediums production of ectoplasm can be painful and leaves you with a kind of mental and#or physical hangover the ne"t day, or even for a couple of days. 6ere is a very interesting personal account regarding ectoplasm, ectoplasm and photography et al. http:##bit.ly#&o9Kdo -"ctoplasm was shown in $arying orms like net, $eil, drapery, )uslim or e$en more comparable with meat like orms, i we recall the )argery case. .ut the transormation o this substance is always dismissed by skeptical claims. ( tried to document some parts o these stages by taking photographs with a high resolution digital camera in my circle /0elix circle1, though it is not possible to document the transormation ongoing. At the irst stage ( ha$e oten seen the appearance o a mobile substance, which was attached in some way with the body o the medium. (n most instances a white stream o ectoplasm was partly released rom the medium2s mouth /not in all instances1, which was grabbed by the medium sel in order to descend it to the loor. 3he medium pulled, on some occasions, such a large mass o ectoplasm rom his mouth that it could oten be seen on his whole body as well as around his eet on the loor. 3his stage looked like a phase o emanation. 3he substance appeared in a heterogenic morphology, its consistency was always dierent. (n all ectoplasmic ormations there was always something inconstant and irregular and sometimes the morphological structure was dierent in the centre than at the rims. 4n other occasions ( could see a more perorated, membranous mass with local thickenings and $acant spaces. (n the next step the structure oten underwent a process o transormation and e$olution. (n most cases perectly white modeled hands became $isible 5 normally ( was able to witness the e$olution and mo$ement o a single hand. 3hese hands were always dierent si+es and were not comparable with those o the medium, sometimes e$en bigger, but oten smaller. (n most instances the medium2s limbs were totally $isible while ( could see the mo$ement o an additional materiali+ed hand. 3he hands were normally seen rom their palm side and ga$e an impression o a normal li$ing agent who liked to interact with the group. ( could oten see wa$ing gestures or #ust mo$ing ingers. 0or example on one occasion ( witnessed a dense band o white substance with a breadth o approximately our ingers, which was normally released rom the medium2s mouth. 3his creation mo$ed approx. 1,6 meters out o the cabinet. At its end was a hand was positioned and all sitters including me could see this ormed hand perorming scrambling gestures. (n another s,ance ( ha$e seen a stream o white semitransparent ribbon, which was $ertically ascending with wa$ing motion in ront o the cabinet. At its end a human hand was slowly mo$ing with the ingers. 4n other occasions ( could see dierent aspects o transormation and e$olution. (n two instances nearly the whole body o the medium including the head was bagged into $eil5like ectoplasmic orms, comparable with a cocoon o a caterpillar. (n one case two mo$ing materiali+ed hands were $isible within this cocoon, while both medium2s hand as well both eet could clearly been seen. the medium2s body, which wreathed itsel around the eet. 3hen a $ertical column directly in ront o the medium was ormed. 3his column was semitransparent so that the medium was perectly $isible during the whole time, and a kind o umbilical cord connected him with the nebulous orm. 4n urther condensation a inger5like mo$ing structure came out o this column at the upper end, which dissol$ed within a period o two minutes. 4n another occasion ( had the chance to touch this white substance with my hands in red light. ( totally agree with the sensational descriptions o historical reports. 3he ectoplasm elt cold, clammy, and as i endowed with a motion o its own. 3he sensation may be compared with that produced on the skin by a li$ing reptile. 7ichet, Schrenck5Not+ing and 8eley ha$e witnessed similar indings directly in ront o their eyes /see Stephen .raude "3he 'imits 4 (nluence"19 :ideo of ectoplasm http:##youtu.be#io?rerL=Lcc Physical mediumship offers the highest form of proof of life after death whereby those who have passed on are able to reappear in solid form, near to or e"actly as they were when they lived on the earth. Physical and Mental Mediumship (raud 'he best skeptical argument against sMance materialiIation, is the photographs tend to be unconvincing. ,n fact some historical ectoplasm photographs are so grotes/ue, preposterous and unbelievable most believers in mediumship have a very hard time accepting these too. &o why take sMance claims seriously1 'here are very impressive witness reports from scientists as well as other skeptical professions. %ven some highly esteemed magicians supported sMance claims as not e"plicable by con!uring or deception. ( claim of fraud is not necessarily evidence of fraud although the skeptical literature almost always selectively /uotes the claims of fraud. +ritish, >& and Herman intelligence personnel were all investigating the same sMance mediums claims prior to 00E and it is highly probable they may have started playing games with photographs to discredit the research. 'here is no doubt that physical and mental mediumship has been sub!ected to an e"traordinary amount of fraud and that many true mediums have elected to include fraud to deliver consistent entertainment. Mediumship is not gift that can be turned off and on at will. ,f you choose to be an entertainer either you are placing yourself in a position where you may be embarrassedNor spectacular. 'hen we have the cold and hot readers. *old reading means picking up subtle sensory clues from face#eyes#body language, clothing, etc. and feeding these back to the sitter. :ot reading is easy to define, it is basically cheating, finding out information beforehand and presenting as not knowing the information being presented. Hifted mediums have been known to add cold and hot reading for the sake of performance and audience gratification. ,t is certain that true mediumship can be determined to be real and provable. Or. Oavid $ontana 'he Kature of a Possible (fterlife -)ediumship is regarded with understandable suspicion by those with no direct experience o the phenomenon, but steps can be taken by researchers to establish i an indi$idual medium deser$es to be taken seriously. 3he two most readily a$ailable o these steps in$ol$e ascertaining;
1. <hether or not the inormation gi$en through the medium and ostensibly rom the deceased is correct and could not ha$e been known to the medium at the time.
!. <hether such correct inormation can be orthcoming e$en i the person consulting the medium /usually reerred to as the sitter1 is acting as proxy or an absent indi$idual unknown to the medium.9 Mediumship Misnomers Psychics= 8ften we see the misnomer psychic replacing or attached to the more appropriate term medium. ( *medium* (unlike *psychic*) claims discarnates contact the medium, not that the mediums (like psychics) can call up discarnates for anyone. ,n defense of genuine psychics, they are gifted but not in a truly mediumship sense. 8ften the young and uninitiated are drawn to mediumship by psychics in order to *test the water*. 'hey are likely to initially visit a *fortune teller* such as *Hypsy 2ose 9ee* and her many colleagues found mainly at the traveling fairgrounds and the seaside.
8ften, with a few -hits. during one of these episodes, they feel impressed with what has come through at the *sitting* and go on to develop a lifelong interest in psychic matters out of these early e"cursions on the fringe of mediumship. 'hat is perhaps the one benefit of *Hypsy 2ose 9ee*s* readings, although where they are genuine these fairground Hypsies rarely operate in a mediumistic way. 'heir psychic abilities should maybe put them into the category of *psychics*, but not mediums. 'he way that this works is that the psychic sits very close to the sitter, and introduces their hand, leg or head into the natural *aura* of the sitter. ,f they are genuinely sensitive, they are able to e"tract information from the sitter*s aura, which they then feed back to them. (ny correct *hits* obtained in this way can seem /uite miraculous to the ine"perienced sitter. 'his way of working is very simple to learn, and many of us can get fairly accurate *results* by doing e"actly the same thing whilst clearing our minds, then making a determined effort to develop this talent. >ltimately, unlike the psychic, it is the !ob of a medium is to prove postmortem survival to their sitters. ( medium has direct contact with spirit personalitiesP guides, helpers and#or relatives, friends and ac/uaintances of the *sitter* who have *crossed over* and who are able to impart information either through a mental or physical process to the medium, who then relays their messages to the sitter. 7emote $iewers= 2emote viewers are not mediums. -7emote $iewing is the controlled use o "SP /extrasensory perception1 through a speciic method. >sing a set o protocols /technical rules1, the remote $iewer can percei$e a target 5 a person, ob#ect or e$ent 5 that is located distantly in time and space.

Oivination is the practice of attempting to foretell future events. ,t was 'relawney herself who made the prophecy concerning 9ord :oldemort and the one with the power to van/uish him (:oldemort took this to mean 6arry Potter) during her !ob interview with 6eadmaster (lbus Oumbledore at the 6og4s 6ead pub in DAJC (6arry was born =uly 3D, DAJCP =uly 3D is also =. 7. 2owling4s birthdate). 7nown as -'he Prophecy., it was supposedly lost to history when dropped by 9ucius Malfoy during the fight between 'he Oeath %aters, members of Oumbledore4s (rmy and members of 'he 8rder 8f the Phoeni" (&irius +lack et al) in the +attle 8f 'he Oepartment 8f Mysteries (2oom of the :eil). (lbus Oumbledore recalling the night the prophecy was made, shortly before 6arry hearing 'relawney making the prophecy through the Pensieve: Albus Dumbledore; "3he thing that smashed was merely the record o the prophecy kept by the Department o )ysteries. .ut the prophecy was made to somebody, and that person has the means o recalling it perectly." :arry Potter; "<ho heard it=" Albus Dumbledore; "( did. 4n a cold, wet night sixteen years ago, in a room abo$e the bar at the :ogCs :ead (nn.

Ouring 'he Prophecy, 'relawney correctly specified that the re/uirements for the boy of prophecy who was capable to (but not necessary would) defeat the Oark 9ord were the following: 6e was male. 6e is born in the closing days of =uly of DAJC, the year that the prophecy was made. 6is parents had defied :oldemort three times and lived to tell about it. 6e would have a power that :oldemort was unable or unwilling to comprehend. ,f more than one person was born that met the re/uirements, :oldemort himself would choose to whom it would ultimately refer. (Keville 9ongbottom was also born =uly 3D, DAJC). (t the end of the DAA3QDAAF 6ogwarts4 school year, she accurately predicted the escape of Peter Pettigrew and return of 9ord :oldemort. 'relawney was often ridiculed (6ermione with 6arry and 2on on their way to 6agrid4s: -.roaden your minds. >se your (nner "ye to see the utureDD '4') but her overall accuracy was e"ceptional and she is accredited with over two doIen other precognitive predictions. (lthough Prof. 'relawney was mostly /uiet she is famous nonetheless. Mediumship And The Afterlife ,f mediumship was nothing more than carnival tricks or small glimpses of discarnate relatives, it4s usefulness would be temporal and entertaining. 6owever, the end result of mediumship is the revelation of the spirit world, of spirits who have most assuredly lived on the %arthly plane and now e"ist in other more ethereal or astral dimensions (planes). 0hat is the evidence through mediumship of an afterlife1 Professor Oavid H. =. $ontana Ph.O. $+P& was a +ritish academic, psychologist and author. 6e was Professor of Psychology at the Cardiff >niversity. 6e was also visiting professor at =ohn Moores >niversity and the >niversity of the (lgarve and one of several &cole %"periment ,nvestigators (d. 8ct ECDC) $ontana and the (fterlife http:##bit.ly#&oP9C0 -Ethat in my $iew and that o many others who are amiliar with the literature and who ha$e researched rele$ant pre5death experiences and the communications ostensibly rom the deceased, the e$idence that the sel does exist ater death is impressi$eE members o the Society or Psychical 7esearch and other in$estigators began to collect the data concerned o$er 1!F years ago and ha$e been adding to them e$er since. 3he e$idence comes in act rom our sources. 3he irst source is rom those people who are approaching death, the second is rom those who ha$e clinically died but who are resuscitated and return to tell the tale, the third is rom those who ha$e clinically died and who do not return, and the ourth is the great spiritual traditions o both "ast and <est. ...the act that people approaching death, though lucid and drug5ree, reBuently greet with #oy deceased relati$es and riends who seem to ha$e arri$ed in order to accompany them on their #ourney to the next lie.

The Mystery Of The Afterlife 3he inal conclusion o reasoning will be the understanding that there are many things which are beyond our comprehension. +laise Pascal Medium communication is often incomplete, there can be difficulty in finding the right language to e"plain the une"plainable, and a myriad of other problems. ,n short, although we have archived thousands upon thousands of personal e"periences, anecdotes and medium sessions, we don4t have a comprehensive allinone book of knowledge. 0hat we do have is a 'he proof of life after death can only be arrived at by providing an absolute plethora of positive evidenceP sometimes very small personal details which added together can be /uite overwhelming in their accuracy, and are sufficient to establish the truth of the matter without any doubt as to the reality of survival.
