Some Questions & Answers by Andrew Phoenix
What is a Medium? What is a Psychic? …and Psychic Mediums?
There are so many phrases and terms for those who access physical information from a non-physical source – many refer to Psychics, Mediums, Clairvoyants and Psychic Mediums (I’ll deal with more of these terms at a later date).
Are Psychics, Mediums & Psychic Mediums all the same?
In essence, yes, but each individual has unique non-physical abilities and skills (as with any physical skill or ability) and the words themselves don’t do justice to the majority of truly gifted individuals. We are the same in that we obtain, or receive, information for ourselves and others through non-physical means.
Mediumship is defined, by Wikipedia.org, as:
“In spiritualism, mediumship denotes the ability of a person (the medium) to produce psychic phenomena of a mental or physical nature. It is said that a medium can communicate with the spirits of the dead and produce physical paranormal phenomena such as materializations.”
Psychic is defined, by Wikipedia.org, as:”Psychic is a term relating to or denoting mental abilities or phenomena that are apparently inexplicable by known natural laws, since they seem to transcend the confines of the brain. People who are thought to have these abilities or to be able to produce these phenomena are often called “psychics”. The term comes from the Greek word psychikos, meaning “of the soul, mental,” which is in turn derived from the Greek word psyche (soul/mind). It was first used by French astronomer Camille Flammarion (1842-1925), who was also a noted spiritualist and psychical researcher.”
Are Psychics also Mediums?
No, not necessarily. A Psychic can often gain information of a physical nature by using non-Mediumistic means i.e. they do not connect with the spirit of a loved one, or other spirit, to gain the information. Spirit Guides, Spirit Communicators and inspirers (sometime referred to as ‘personal Angels’ or ‘teacher spirits’) are the source of a Psychic Medium’s information and as such is open to less influence by the psychic forces, assuming that the Medium is genuine of course!
Are Mediums also Psychics?
No, not necessarily. Mediums, in general, tend to prefer direct communication with “spirit” and rely upon their “spirit guides”, “operators” or “communicators” to provide information which is then relayed to the physical individual.
Having been the Medium-in-charge (leader, ‘control’ and facilitator) of countless Development groups, ‘Closed’ and ‘Open’ Circles, it is my belief that Mediums utilise Psychic ability to complement their abilities as Mediums.
Many Mediums refuse to accept the ‘Psychic’ level and will insist that they are *not* utilising their Psychic ability at all. There is also a snobbery involved – many Mediums ‘look down’ upon other Clairvoyant Mediums who choose to operate using all available means i.e. their Psychic and Mediumistic abilities combined.
It is invariably other Mediums who are able to discern whether an individual is using Psychic methods of divination in addition to their Mediumship – many people sat in audiences and congregations are unaware of the difference. I have witnessed many public demonstration Mediums criticising other Mediums for ‘working on the Psychic level’ but
I am of the opinion that if the information is accurate, helpful and constructive there is no problem and all available methods of divination should be used. After all, the client deserves to hear all accurate and relevant information and, as such, this is far more desirable. The Spiritualist organisations tend not to agree and dictate that Mediums act on a non-Psychic level and, more recently, that Mediums demonstrating Clairvoyance identify their “spirit guides”, “operators” or “communicators” at the beginning (or during) any given public demonstration/s.
As a Demonstrating Medium I have arranged public “Psychic Circles” (away from Spiritualist Churches and also within them) to demonstrate purely Psychic ability (or a combination of Psychic and Clairvoyance via the ‘spirits’ of loved ones and ‘spirit’ guides’) and when demonstrating in Spiritualist Churches I have to disregard the Psychic and operate on ‘spirit’ communication only (apart from occasional references which must be stated as being Psychic).
Sounds a little strange? Of course – organised religions invariably are, in my opinion.
Are Mediums telepathic?
Most Mediums would suggest that telepathy is a Psychic ability and therefore not a specific part of Mediumship. I am not telepathic. I am Psychically sensitive to the feelings of others which many would term “telempathic”.
Do Mediums believe in God?
Yes – in the majority of cases. The concept of ‘God’ is open to many and varied interpretations, obviously, but as the source of all goodness, eternal Love, Light and Power, yes.
I have many problems with words that are used, for example the use of the word ‘Medium’ or ‘spirit’ as they don’t fully express what I mean and in the same way the word “God” does not do the Creator justice in any way whatsoever. Every fibre of my being knows that God, in the highest sense, exists and is not subject to human interpretation – our brains just aren’t capable of fully comprehending the magnificent and omnipotent force of pure love which is God.
Social, religious and cultural conditioning tend to mean that as individuals we interpret “God” in our own way, obviously, but if we choose to look to God for the ultimate answer it will be forthcoming, setting any and all words aside.
My experience of other Mediums is that nearly all express the concept of God as being **incredibly** important and the source from which we originate and ultimately return to.
It is a sad fact that in the Western world (and globally) many people are turning away from God – but they are turning away from the “God” that they have been taught via society, religion or culture.
I know God exists – I don’t need proof and I cannot fully explain, describe or define God – I don’t need to and if I did I wouldn’t have the words to do so. Again, every fibre of me KNOWS that God exists but I’m not religious and I tend to be more critical of organised religions around the world as I get older. The “spirit world” (words are such a pain sometimes!) cannot exist without God – it *IS* a facet of God’s Love and Light.
Try going to a Spiritualist Church and asking your local Mediums what they have to say about God – the majority will say something *vaguely* similar to the above.
I don’t talk often about God – but I would urge people to look more closely and ‘personally’ at God – look up and talk to God when you feel comfortable doing so… don’t wait for an immediate answer, just talk to God as you would your best friend?
I get angry when I see or hear people making God responsible for the wrongs of this world… when things go wrong in your life, don’t look ‘up’ – look ‘down’, or to your fellow man – it is God that keeps this ‘global show on the road’; it always has been and it always will be. No discussion on that one!
A couple of important notes on Psychic Ability, Mediumship and Clairvoyance that bear repeating:
I believe that it is ESSENTIAL that an individual learns to ‘close down’ before beginning to operate on a Psychic or Mediumistic level. Leaving yourself ‘open’ is a road that you do not want to travel down!
I am not particularly in favour of general Development groups or ‘Closed Circles’ for people who have not naturally received ‘other worldly’ information previously. If ‘spirits’ have communicated with you, then you are free (always) to decide whether to ‘close yourself down’ and never again entertain the idea of “spirit communication” and I believe that this is the individual’s right to choose. If ‘spirit/s’ are communicating freely and *without invitation* it is acceptable (to me) to then facilitate methods of control and communication, if desired. An ‘Open Circle’ is a good place to find help and assistance intitially. Control is the key – trust me, I’m a Medium! 
If one wishes to ‘open up’ and begin communicating (Psychically or with ‘spirit guides’ and ‘spirit communicators’) I would suggest that you find a good, qualified and approved teacher – preferably a Medium who you can physically see – local Spiritualist Churches are a good place to begin. Please don’t be tempted by “online Mediums” who say they can ‘open you up’ – it’s a very dangerous practice in my opinion!
‘Control’ is **incredibly** important and ‘closing down’ is vital if good mental health is to be maintained. Leaving ourselves ‘open’ to communication twenty-four hours a day is just not healthy or acceptable (to me) but as we have freewill we are free to do so – it is entirely wrong to do this, in my opinion.
As I sit writing this text I am not receiving ‘spirit’ communication – since I got up today I have not been receiving information from ‘spirit’ or psychically – I CHOOSE when to open myself to spirit communication (unless it’s a ‘warning’ or emergency) and I believe that this is the only way to remain in a good state of health mentally.
Physical day-to-day life needs to remain TOTALLY separate from Psychic or non-physical experiences – there should, AT ALL TIMES, be a very ‘clear line’ between the two levels (planes) of existence and operation. We are physical now and we must lead physical lives in as healthy a state as possible and to the full. When, and if, we choose to work on a non-physical level we must try to do our very best – but at the end of our non-physical work we must **very firmly** ‘close down’ and then resume our physical lives with no further thought of non-physical communication.
The ‘line’ needs to be drawn in the sand, as it were, and if that line becomes hazy or distorted we leave ourselves open to many, many problems sadly and I have witnessed some Mediums who have ignored the issue of ‘control’ and experienced awful problems.
A very simple analogy comes to mind as I type this:
You turn on your computer to work and communicate with others (i.e. you press the power button to turn on the box of chips that controls whether you can read this text or not)… when you have finished your communication you press the power button again or ‘close down’ the computer to switch it off when you do not need it. If you left the computer on permanently you would be forever losing power – your hard-disk and processor could overheat or burn-out eventually and you would be unhappy to lose your e-mails and your method of communication with the outside world.
The solution in that scenario is simple – you buy another computer – but if your psyche or brain function is damaged what do you do then?
To carry that analogy one step further, if you are sane and sensible (!) you utilise all methods to keep your computer safe online – you install anti-virus software (and keep it up to date!) and install a firewall and use them wisely and you learn, and use, ‘best practices’ to keep your computer, your means of ‘online communication’ and your ‘data’ safe. If it’s good enough for a box of chips that are replaceable at your nearest computer shop, why not learn to use the same ‘best practices’ to keep your ‘self’ safe and limit communication so that everything is as safe as possible if you have made the choice to utilise non-physical communication?
‘Closing Down’
I have been very fortunate to find myself in a position where I am able to ‘close down’ other individuals who are experiencing problems and physical proximity is not important i.e.
I can travel on the inner planes to do work of a non-physical nature. It is also unimportant whether the individual knows of the procedure or not (thus setting aside any issues of suggestion or placebo) and works very well indeed where people are experiencing unwanted ‘spirit’ communication and, to a lesser level, where people are experiencing unwanted Psychic phenomena.
If you need assistance in being ‘closed down’ please see the links on my website:
http://www.Phone-Psychic-Clairvoyant.com/ or
http://www.MediumsOnline.com/
Assistance in being psychically closed down (temporarily or permanently) requires physical communication between you and I and a charge is made for a telephone conversation – but charges are limited and the service is offered for ‘free’, without guarantee. Please e-mail me if you need psychic help.
Can I open ‘people up’ too? Yes but please do not ask as I will refuse unless I can talk to your competent teacher or Medium beforehand.
Maintain control – any competent Psychic or Medium will tell you exactly the same – for your own wellbeing.
Psychic experiences and Mediumistic phenomena are not to be treated lightly – the issues are serious ones and you should seek advice and assistance from a reputable Medium or Psychic AND a qualified (physical) counsellor. Be safe?!
