Episode 140: Good Mediums Are Rare

people in the afterlife. It's now on Amazon Prime. It's called Ronaldi Instrumental Trance Communication to the Other Side. Our next film is going to be about proper mediumship, and you'll get to know the truth about mediums, what's right, what's wrong, what has integrity? And our medium tutors, Carrie McLeod and Philip Dikes will be the subjects of it. Following that movie, our dear friend Scott Milligan, who you've heard in the Trance State, will be a film about

his physical entrance mediumship. Pretty cool. It's hard to find good mediums, isn't it. If you go on YouTube and you type in Sandra Champlain rant. Just four months ago, I got into my car and I just had to let loose on the camera about some of the things I've been witnessing lately. And a good medium reading can give people their life back, and a poor medium reading can really leave people devastated. I am so grateful for the training that we've been doing online with Carrie, phil

and Scott about teaching proper mediumship. In fact, just last week and every Thursday in the month of June, we are doing student medium demonstrations. So these are some of the advanced students who have been practicing a long time and they have an opportunity to work with the community. You may be listening to this far past June. I promise we will hold them again. If you go to We Don't Die dot com, just click on the store

page and you'll see everything coming up. Now, speaking of medium demonstrations, I know there are many of you who were right there for me when my ex boyfriend passed months ago. He had come through in both images through the work of Sonya and Aldi, and also in a private medium reading I had with a wonderful lady named Catherine Shirley. A couple of weeks ago, he popped up again,

and this time in our Sunday gathering. Each Sunday we do an inspirational service for ninety minutes, and a part of that is a medium demonstration, letting people know just how close the afterlife really is and how close our loved ones are. I say before every Sunday gathering, help the people in the audience that need it the most, get the readings, and I want you to hear what happened because lo and behold, my Michael came through and

also my dad did. And I was trying to say, it's got to be for someone else in the audience, but it turned out to be me. Now, there has been a little controversy since this happened. People very loyal to me think, oh, maybe this guy heard Sander talking about Michael and her dad on her podcast. Well, I actually know the medium and his level of integrity. Also, you can hear it within my voice. True contact with someone in the spirit world brings memories, brings joy, brings love.

So thank you for all the people concerned. But in my heart I know this was a valid demonstration from a medium named Dominic Bogue from Scotland.

because I don't feel he's coming as family. But I know he would have went to the spirit world before his time. I know that he would have perhaps been already passed away by the time the first responders get to him. But he keeps bringing to my attention of you know that, saying we go way back, we go way back. So I know as he's connecting here with me. Maybe we were in school together, maybe we dated at some point. But I know he's full of beans. I know he's full of fun. I know that music was

a big thing for him. Maybe he played guitar or just had this love of music. But I know that Mike or Michael connects with might know he's in the spirit or with a gentleman that would be John as well. And because he tells me to say, John is there also. And I don't want to be too extreme or paint this picture, but I know that he talks to me about it being a freak accident. That's the easiest way I can say to you. And I do feel very

much there's no other vehicle involved. I just feel that there's maybe been, you know it, maybe a telephone poll or a tree. I struggle to see any other any other thing here. But he just keeps telling me to say that he loves you like it was yesterday, saying whether there's something more going on here, whether it's a friend or a romanticness. It's easiest way that I can say to you.

there's something quite quirky about him. There's something quite fun about him, and he you know, I feel like maybe having a little dimple as he smiles or something near but he smile is what catches my attention. Was just you know, he's got this cheeky ground as esus where I could see you. But he just kept saying to me about John being here with him in the sport world, diseesus, whether I could see you. You know, we can always

look for fault, can't we of why this happened? Or was I speeding or was it a sort And I really do feel it was just an accident is the easiest wather I could say to you here. And I know there may have been a point where we had lost some contact or we hadn't seen each other for so long, and I feel like he's showing up to be like, you know, I've got your back, I'm still here for you. You know I still hold you, dear, or my heart is easiest way that I could say

to you. He tells me to say he didn't suffer, and I'm saying, okay, well, can you express that more? And he just keeps saying to me that was so quick, so quick as easus whether I could say to you here? And he's telling me to say that he's glad that you have found your path, And I'm saying, why would you say that? And I get the impression that it took him a while to find his path. Yes, okay, And it just keeps making me feel very much that you're finding your path, him finding his own path. But

it's funny because of cane Phull cycle. It's almost like he's now reconnecting with you again. It's esus whether I consider you. He is telling me to say that you have been thinking about him, or you have felt him around at times. I know that seems to be but that's what he tells you. Yes, but that's an impression

I get or I don't know why. But he keeps telling me to say John gives him a hard time, and I'm going, oh, really why, And I just feel like like both of them being like knuckleheads, like just fun having banter together. It's the easiest whether I could describe here. Would you have anything to do with like John's name being on like a plaque or being on

like a wall or something. Yes, Because he just keeps telling me to say he loves what has been placed, and it's almost like something that maybe has been carried through or or maybe from the past and some way that we still have. Is the easiest whether I could describe here. And he just keeps telling me to say he's happy with the way things have unfolded. He's telling me to say, don't allow other people and I feel this is coming in maybe family, so plead better with me.

Don't allow other people to put you off your path. Don't allow yourself to change because of other people, he says. Just stay true to yourself, my darling, Just stay true to yourself. And I feel your father when he was alive, he would have been a man that would have nourished or shared a lot of thoughts and supported people's easiest whether I could say to you, but he was a man that always stayed true to himself. You see. And

I know that this is very important. Even when they go and gets tough, he always found a way to get through it. But he just keeps making me feel that family. I don't know why this is coming to a family. Family comes in all shapes and sizes, and it doesn't need to be biological, doesn't need to be biological. Family is who we become. That is what he keeps telling me to say. Okay, he just keeps saying, keeps smiling. You don't buy any chance still have it like a

baseball cap belong to your dad at all? I do, because I keep going to put it on, but then your your buddy here, he keeps putting on backwards. You see he did, and I'm like, what are you doing?

sitter was in Germany. That just gives you a taste of what we do online. And our Sunday gathering is free every week, so come check us out that we Don't Die dot com. Let's continue with the episode, but first we have to take a break. You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.

I became estranged. I don't like it, but it takes two to have communication. As easy as it is to make our loved ones wrong, it's so important to try to see life from their perspective. One of the big reasons I wrote my book was to let people know about grief and how much grief messes with your mind. We lose healthy brain chemicals and we can see the world not as it really is. So for me and for many others, that explains why so many relationships break

apart when there is grief. We are seeing life through a perspective that isn't real many times, so there's lots of arguments, lots of fights. I found out not too long ago one in three people do not talk to someone in their family over something that happened when someone died.

I'm not mad at my siblings. I miss them, and the truth is, had things not happened exactly the way they did, I would have never gone on my journey to research grief to get more evidence of the afterlife, and I certainly wouldn't be sharing it with you today. So I owe them a ton of gratitude, and I just have to have faith that someday, when the time is right, they're willing to talk and our family can

be back together. Will it be in this world or will it be in the afterlife, I don't know, but as a wise soul told me, relationships can be like a circle, they come apart at the bottom and eventually they come back together. So a shout out to my siblings, Karen, Steve, and Heidi, wherever you are. I hope you are well, I hope you are happy, and I do very much love you. When Dominic said we can pick our family, I have the strongest friendships, and three of them are

with the tutors that I spoke about earlier. Phil and Carry are married. They are wonderful people, and they teach our evidential medium Ship classes online and now they're starting to tour the world with cameraman and filmmaker Robert Lyon filming our documentary Close behind. Scott Milligan teaches our tramps

in the Altered States Mediumship classes. Carrie and Phil spent almost two weeks with Mom and I here at our house earlier this month, and I couldn't be any happier to share how much love, great conversation about life, death and the afterlife, and perhaps a few adult beverages we shared while we were together. It is so nice to have good friends. Scott and Darren while they're coming to the United States later on in this year, and they have already booked their tickets to spend a few days

with Mom and myself. I'm grateful we get to see them on zoom, but if you get a chance to meet these people in person, do it. I want to carry on now a bit as this movie just began being filmed about Carrie and Phil's mediumship and the message of proper mediumship, and tell you that once a month they host what's called Let's Talk Mediumship, where you can ask questions all about mediumship. So I'd like to play just some recordings of some subjects that I think might

make a difference with you. I have talked to Carrie and Phil before in this show, so you may wish to go back to episode two to find out more about them, and also episode one zero seven, which talks about mediums, the good, bad and the ugly. So these recordings will be different from what you've heard before. Here's the first one. Someone asked the question why can't we connect to our own loved ones, our ourselves. Here's the response by Carrie McLeod and Phil Dyke's.

sense maybe we had a thought. I mean, you know that buzzy feeling, or you get goose bumps all over and suspair it all coming in and saying mmm, interesting, or you get that sense of oh, you're on board with us. Then we get that, and sometimes if we're sitting in the power, we get our loved ones and

team coming in and maybe seeing the odd snippet. But I have to say for myself, I've never in all of my years given myself a message because I know what they would legally have said, so I don't need to hear from them because I know already I know what I would like them to say, which means I influence the answer, and sometimes I just get in.

feathers or different We're not going to dispute that. If that is your understanding, then absolutely, but we have to be very clear of the difference between them coming close and letting us know they're there and coming close for the purposes of communication, which the latter is what we say. We find it a bit difficult, so our minds get in the way, and we're often asked when it comes to partners husbands, wives and children. Why do we get signs and then the signs stop or why do they

stop and then start and then stop again? That it was explained to us by the spurt world as part of that progression, is about allowing us to move. And then when we don't need the signs anymore, when we don't need the touches and the visits, we get the because we're not looking for them. They bring a healing as opposed to a needing them in order to know

they're there. It brings a healing. And so when we are allowing ourselves to move through that graving process, we will get in some way that sense of them being there, and that sense of the being with it will change, that will become much more subtle, as does take that energy to be able to create such a physical interaction, but there's so many more subtle spiritual emotional ways that

they connect. We build relationships with the spirit order on an emotional and spiritual level, and that builds that new relationship beyond the physical world, and that requires for us to be I suppose open hearted to the fact that they are no longer physically there, but is spiritually and

emotionally there. As much there as they ever wear in physical life, and we build that new relationship that's not dependent on physical phenomena taking place, but the more subtle, loving senses of them being there.

And when we feel these cobweb experiences, then there's little tickles, or you might feel that run through your hair. It's actually your loved one just stroke in the face, coming forward and loving you, just doing the things they did when they were here. So when you next feel these little signs that you have, these little signatures, these things that mediums describe as common, actually it's your loved one that should be cherished and remembered and really reached out

to and say thank you. It lets them know that they've achieved, that they've been able to give their love. And we heard somebody explaining this the other day, and I haven't got much hair left, but I wanted to pull out what was left, because it was just a case of they're explaining it in the wrong way. I've got children, and I know people on here have got children in the spirit world and mothers, brothers, sons and daughters.

They do everything they can to reach out and give us these experiences and now and again we're lucky to receive that love, to receive that feeling, and at nineteen nine percent of the time we're not consciously aware of what they're doing. So the more sensitive you are, the more that you sit, the more that you spiritualize, the more that you go within, we start to become aware of all these other wonderful things they do around us.

So next time you hear that cobweb effect, as somebody says it, know that it's your loved one reaching out tenderly loving it.

around by his sense of humor. Out of the blue in my mind would be the funniest thoughts that came out of nowhere. I'm a pretty funny person, I would like to think, but I don't make myself laugh too often. And in his twisted sense of humor, the strangest things came into my mind and I laughed. I'll also have moments that I'll see my dad or just feel him around, and it's normally when my mind is semi quiet, just

before I fall asleep, sometimes in the shower. Anyways, it is time for our next break, and we're going to be back with more good things. You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast Network.

But what I do say is taking a class in mediumship that is for everybody you know, by working with other people using some of the instructions that are given the basics of how to communicate soul to soul and then soul to someone in the spirit world, when you have that experience of knowing things about a person that you shouldn't possibly know, and then knowing things about their deceased loved ones, and not just knowing it. When you experience proper mediumship, it is as if you are the

deceased person. You will feel the love for the person you're working with. You will feel their memories. Have you ever heard of beginner's luck? I think the spirit world gives us a little of this when we begin our journeys. I know the very first mediumship class I took, when I thought I was using my imagination, I correctly told a lady the name of her grandfather, what he did for a living, how he died in a very special message to her mother that I couldn't have possibly ever known.

I went on to take a course here, a course there, but didn't continue the journey. You know why my own mind got in the way. People who go for medium training have to have a drive, a purpose much bigger than what the ego says. The ego does not want to be wrong, and working with someone in a medium reading, you have to be willing to put your own thoughts aside, have love for the sitter in front of you and trust that the words and images and feelings all are

coming from the spirit world. For the person you are working with, it is not easy, and I know for myself, anytime I'm worried I'm going to get it wrong, that flow of communication stops. You have to be willing to be wrong. To be a medium, you have to be willing for people in your life to maybe think of

you as a little crazy communicating with the dead. However, deep inside you know that people who no longer walk this earth no longer have a voice, and you know how much pain and suffering and grief there is within your fellow human beings, and your interest in making someone's life a little better and letting someone in the spirit world world have their voice again through mediumship is a

way to heal broken hearts. So for committed mediums out there and mediums in training, and even myself, the gift of even one single medium reading in a practice setting on zoom with a total stranger can change somebody's life. Mediumship lives in the unknown. It's also the peeling of an onion of our own spirituality. So while we may

have beginner's luck, eventually we may hit a roadblock. This next question is about such roadblocks in mediumship, basically asking why isn't mediumship training easy?

they don't always do what we want. They're there to help and not always give us that what we would like list. But again it can be frustrating. It's very hard work at times. As I said, it's very lonely as well. But that's all there for a reason, because it's about your education, it's about your development, and sometimes we have to not just look at mediumship as an ability, but a way of life spirituality, and it's all these frustrations that help us through and make us grow as

a person. We're very well known for a particular phrase, which is the spiritualization of the self. That means that we've got to grow. We've got to have an understanding and master our emotions, mental thoughts and physicalities within life. And it's a very tough and lonely journey, especially when we want something or we're trying as hard as we

can and it doesn't unfold. But there are moments, and this is the real unique gift of the spirit world is when we have those hard moments or things are going right, we meet people that on this journey that have the same thoughts understanding and we start to call them family. So it's not just friends anymore. We seem to have a different way of thinking and understanding. So again, there's some very lonely parts, some very good parts, especially

when they give us different spiritual experiences. When we're working, we can hear the spirit will very clearly. Sometimes it's frustrating because we only feel them, and when those contacts go right, it's absolutely magical as well, isn't it. We feel on top of the world. But when they're not going so right, let's put it that way, when there's a different understanding or they're trying to teach us something, we can get that. There's a human ability that we

don't like to get things wrong. It seems to be in bred from us from a very early age. So sometimes we have to make mistakes to actually learn those new ways of working because we see a lot of people saying, well, how can one contact be very very strong and the next one not as strong? Well, we look at it through very blinkered eyes at times. That objective evidence is the way forward. We've got to remember

that there's emotional contacts that need to be done. There's those contacts from people we never used to get on with, so that there's many difficulties within mediumship and on that journey, and the one is really the journey of self.

develop andates the part that spiritualizes. So we can very much develop the mediumship, the mechanics, the understanding, the formal training. Many of you will have gone on courses with some lovely mediums and learn the formal training. Well, that develops the mediumship part of you. In the background, there's the soul that's not quite caught up. So what we understand when we came together, we realized we had a similar understanding.

We cannot develop spiritually personally within our emotions at the same time as we're developing our mediumship. We'll train our mediumship, and then there's this huge the mediumship pauses and there's this huge personal development or where we go within and we have that tearful moment or that moment where we want to throw it in and jacket in and why am I doing it? And then we burst through. India I reads with this lovely song called break the Shell, and you have to break the shell to break out

of the norm. That's your spiritual growth. Once that's done, you'll find that you'll go back to wanting to do more courses, wanting to learn, and wanting to understand. And it is like this all through your life. You will never be the complete medium, although you will always be striving, or at least we do. But we have to understand that it is this ebb and flow. Every loss, every gain,

every trial, every tribulation, every gift spiritualizes your soul. You learn, and what we find is people will be I'm going to use this horrible thing spiritually, be spiritually there. I'm a medium and very spiritual, and as spiritualist and very spiritual will I have a secret. Some of the most unspiritual people we have ever met are what they call themselves spiritual because they've developed something and they haven't looked

at the soul. So it's the soul that allows us to be at one with ourself and our God, whoever our God is that creative force. When that happens, you will be on the natural flow of mediumship. You'll not be pushing it. You'll be trying to get anywhere. You will just be in the flow. When that happens, that is when you'll understand the ups and downs. When you just come into a synergy and the two, you understand that you're not going to get there any sooner than

your soul and the spirit world will allow. Not even if you study five hundred weeks at THEFC or anywhere else, you will not push any faster than you're able.

who you already are. Not to compare yourself, but to know you are absolutely one of a kind. We have that little voice I wish we could shut off that tells you something different. You were made exactly as you need to be. So let's take our last break and we'll be back. You're listening to Shades of the Afterlife on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.

arms of Eternity with Scott Milligan. I'd like to ask a question on behalf of Emily.

we come to you to win your reason. There are many instruments that can create great sounds, but if they are not tuned and trained efficiently, then the sound is not pleasing for one's ears. And many people in your world have barely learnt to stand and then they try to convey our message through their senses that have not

been worked and understood, and therefore you have dilution. But one must also consider that you or those who are the recipients, may come with your own wants and desires, and the individual of our reality has come to give you a message. Here in your thoughts may sway or

distract them as they try to obey your will of acceptance. Course, one is not blaming anyone in your world, but one must consider that we have orchestrated the meeting we have practiced with your family and the one that will speak, and as we bring into our experiment the practice then to be faced with the ideas that we must bend our thoughts to help win your reason to listen, and then we'd have to deliver our messa. But the medium's

mind may be exhausted. So I say this to you, a simple thought that I gave the link when he once said to many, tell me how you died, and quite firmly we said, I would tell you how I live. And that is pleasing for us. I mean no insult when I say this, but I take great enjoyment when I reflect it upon the link we find it easier to work with a simple mind. I mean no insult to any but sometimes to control in the mind of the one we love is like riding a psychotic host

towards a burning staple. If you want him to do something, tell him the complete opposite be our voice. But sometimes a simple drum can make the loudest noise. So I say this to you. One must consider the tuvement and training of the individual, the connection of their soul, the influence of those around, the preparation that is taken by those in our reality, the once and needs of the sitter, and also, my friend, the capability of the one that

you wish to talk to. We may have to bring others that speak first to relax you in preparation of bringing the one you have come for. It is all a process one over. The revealing of your time can bear fruits for many. One must treat their gift as a seed. You hold it, you then bury it. You allow it to grow from the nourishment that you give it. Others will try to destroy it or encourage it, train it to grow in a certain way, which may be unnatural, but eventually the gift will grow so much it holds

you when previously you hold it it. So let the gift hold the medium and allow the world of which we love move through you.

the ocean, you'll never drink it dry. And therefore, my friends, do not fear death, fear life, but also be excited, for you do not know what tomorrow will bring. I must leave you now with the blessings of my world with yours until we are called to together. May I love be with you all and the families that you represent here this day. Good day to you, my.

is about. It's about inspiring, it's about empowering, it's about healing. But the biggest threat to you, guys and the four of us is people out there that have not been trained, that do not know the ethics, do not know the standards do not know about the guidelines, do not know about any kind of standard of service, but doesn't stop us.

The reason the four of us do this is because we believe in what we're doing and we believe that if we have this kind of platform, that we can say something that allows you to answer question differently when somebody asks you. And that's what it's about. That's what the education is about. Empowering you to have the answers that when somebody asks you, well, psychic, well I'm going to tie kick because I want to know my future.

If you feel brave enough, you might actually be able to step up and say, did you know that a real good psychic reading will allow you to see yourself from a different perspective and with fresh insight, creating an awareness within you so that you make the decision that an actual fact is not about having a prediction or being told to make a decision from a psychic that you might meet half an hour in your whole life, and yet we give responsibility there. So that's what this

is about. So hopefully that comes across in a way that stirs something in you. We want to stir something in you to create that curiosity.
