natural mediumship in contrast to learned mediumship.

http://www.amazon.com/Lets-Talk-Natural-Mediumship-ebook/dp/B007ASQWSO
it is a new book that has come out.. which I haven't read yet.
of particular note is
"These are people who are taught purely by the spirit world almost from birth without the need for classes, workshops or man made teachings and definitely without a penny being spent to anyone. There are no chakras, third eyes, protection rituals, certificates or any other man made teachings in these pages as this is pure mediumship only as the spirit world intended and as rarely acknowledged by most who profess to be spiritual beings or are man taught."

from the author own webpage.
As a Natural Born Medium – I am a 'Sensitive' NOT a spiritualist

no chakras, third eyes, protection rituals, training.

it brings up perhaps that that old saying "once you got it, you always got it" that johnny cash said on the highwaymen tour vsh movie i used to have.

all the top singers today with godgiven gifts didnt' really need singing lessons (though it did help madonna extend her career after learning to sing from singing instructers after evita).
and so it with people with the god given talent for perfect pitch, relative pitch.

or take a math genius like sheldon from the big bang theory who just blows through math like no more, (or any math genius like good will hunting,, i am not that familar with math genius )
and so forth with english genius, poet genius. political genius perhaps, or even the master generals of our times.

her arguement is due to her highly gifted talents she doens't do third eye, protection rituals
(speaking of those for a second,, allison dubious character on the medium didn't use them but the consultating producer james van praagh uses them on them, so it is a case of overruled for tv perhaps).

if we look at the non math geniuses, who have to learn math to get through this world the required four years, in high school and sometimes they don't even get through it but they are good at other things that require basic math like perhaps numerology.
they can still go to college after and get enough math to become accountants. for example

so my argument for learned mediumship is that while we may never solve the mystery of math great problems or write the 9th symphony sequal, we can still learn enough to perhaps be the violin player in that symphony or learn enough to do a tarot reading on it like it would be to write the symphony.
the other thing is perhaps through medium training, we can unlock hidden talents in that regards.

one possiblity is that people who have it so easily due to talent can't really teach those who are struggling it would be like sheldon trying to teach penny physicals that one espiode. (for those who watch the big bang theory )
but those who have developed their skill/talent to a high level through pratice and experience could.

still i plan to read this book in the fall.

I've not seen nor heard of those books, Holmes, but will try to remember to check them out. I am a natural born medium, but didn't realize it, really, till I was an adult. I know, it sounds crazy. My mother and my grandmother and her mother before her and so on, were all psychic mediums. My sisters and brothers and I all have the ability too and as children, we all saw spirits, heard them, etc. but just always thought they were there for 'mom' as we knew she was a medium. does this make sense?

My mother never encouraged us to develop. My grandmother and maternal aunts who had the abilities also never encouraged us. to them, it was something that we would either develop on our own or not. I am the only one of my siblings who have chosen to develop these abilities. Even our cousins had the abilities. I remember my one cousin use to hang a sign on his bedroom door, "Spooks this way" and an arrow pointing to his parents room, so they'd 'stop' bothering him and go straight to his mom.

and, now, even our children and my granddaughter have shown to possess the ability of mediumship. My one niece is interested in it, but not putting forth the effort really. Our daughter does put forth the effort in mediumship, but then gets busy with 'life' and drops it for awhile too. and, like I said, our granddaughter has proven that she sees spirits too.

My mother and my grandmother and aunts I know did not do any special protection rituals, save that they were all very religious and prayed the rosary daily. (that's where my love for the rosary developed). My mother has never even heard of 'chakra' and laughs about those things when I talk about them. Kundalini? she'd really laugh about if I tried to explain that, and call it hogwash. But, psychic skills and medium abilities, and energy work--yes, these she knows about, and practices. the energy work she doesn't see quite the same way as I see it--but she has explained this to us - even as kids, how to do that.

anyway, those books sound interesting. I'll have to check them out sometime. Thank you!

I haven't read those books, either but they do sound interesting.

The comment you wrote above from the websites page : "I'm a medium, not a spiritualist" Is a good enough reason for me to read it.

As far as I can tell, Spiritualism is a religion, and Spiritualists have very different views on things than I, myself have experienced since I was a kid. (At least the spiritualists I have come in contact with) We have very differing opinions as to whether some spirits can be "Earth bound" or so the term has become. I'm pretty sure they don't ALL "cross over" the minute one dies, they seem pretty sure that they do. That's a huge difference in beliefs, in my opinion. So I'd be interested in reading those books.

I can't exactly classify myself as a medium, because I feel that mediums can communicate at will and give messages. I can't do that. When I see things, they disappear as quickly as they came. I'm more likely to get feelings about things and sense things around me. I get messages in my dreams. To me, experiences are fleeting, and few and far between. I can't just "pick up" info on every person who walks up to me, like many mediums say they are able to do.

I don't think mediums can pick up on every person who walks up to them either, to be honest. I know I don't. I have a friend whom I have a very difficult time reading for as well, and it's because she is very closed up. I can read her husband easily and do. Other psychics and mediums and even other tarot card readers also have a hard time reading her, so it's not just me. I can read her cards, but as far as reading her or doing medium work for her, she is difficult.

I know of other people as well whom are difficult to read. One of my mothers friends is the same way. Mom would rarely read her friends, - very rarely, but instead they would go together to other readers, and this friend of hers always would be told she was very difficult to read. So, I don't think mediums can read everyone they come in touch with. Sheesh! if that were the case, it would get very annoying even, I think!
