Maybe that specific person doesn't want to be channelled - spirits are not play things.tek-monkey said:... if anyone knows of a medium who claims to be real, I'd happily visit them if they can channel a specific person for me. They always say that impossible though, how convenient.
Very doubtful, was a chatty bugger all his life and we had a lot on when he died. Advances in medicine prove, in my eyes, that what we see as the immortal soul is merely a chemical reaction. Houdini spent a large portion of his life trying to contact the spirit world, and promised that after his death he would do his utmost to make contact. Not seen him about lately.Lunar Scorpion said:Maybe that specific person doesn't want to be channelled - spirits are not play things.
That may well be the case, but I don't think any medium worth their shit would guarantee contact with someone specific.tek-monkey said:Very doubtful, was a chatty bugger all his life and we had a lot on when he died.Lunar Scorpion said:Maybe that specific person doesn't want to be channelled - spirits are not play things.
Yeah I reckon my explanation is the beleif within their own head. A bit like brain washing. It's not for me but the info is there if anyone is interested.tek-monkey said:Just because she believes, doesn't make it true. In her mind it may well be that she is talking to dead people, which is why she can happily tell you these things. To her it isn't lies.
However, nobody has ever been able to prove anything to do with this sort of thing, ever. This makes me think its all cold reading and making stuff up, whether they realise they are doing it or not.
If they can't contact the people you want to talk to, what is the point? TBH the only dead people I knew well enough to be able to tell the medium wasn't lying, are those I'd specifically want to contact. Sure I have dead grandparents etc. but if they've been gone 25 years how am I supposed to know them?
My Nan had a similar thing. She had a brain heamorrage and spoke afterwards of walking down a corridor with a door at the end. She decided that if she got to the door she would open it and walk on through (presumably to the other side?), however, the door was locked so she just came back. Maybe just a dream?Florence said:Frankly, I thinks its all crap and constantly amazed at the seemingly rational people who say "but they told me this, and no-one could have known it".
Just wondering how this experiment is progressing...

Wow what pointless research. I wonder how much this is costing, and how long before they realise it is of no use to society whatsoever.Florence said:Frankly, I thinks its all crap and constantly amazed at the seemingly rational people who say "but they told me this, and no-one could have known it".
