Haunted houses
Many people know of someone who says that their house is haunted and
has had a variety of unusual events occur. Normally, you "die" and go
to the spirit world. Some people die but don't go to the spirit world -
instead they stay around the earth plane. These people may not accept
or realize that they're "dead" and frequently stay in places familiar
to them such as houses and the like. All spirits can affect the earth
plane in various ways and frequently these "earth-bound" spirits make
themselves known as they go about their business. Some are quite
harmless and others are not. Spirit loved ones may not be able to get
through to tell the earth-bound spirit person that they should be in
the spirit world instead. There are mediums on the earth plane who
perform rescue work. The medium works with other spirits to help bring
the earth-bound person to the spirit world.
Medium (or Spiritual) and Psychic readings
The primary difference between a medium and a psychic is the way
information is transmitted to the person. The medium's approach is
passive. The person becomes the pathway for the information to come
through, and the information is coming from people in the spirit world,
not from the medium personally. A psychic's approach is active. The
person plays an active part in getting the information - it may be
picked out of the surrounding vibration or come from the psychic
personally.
People who give readings will generally describe themselves as either a
medium (giving spiritual readings) or a psychic. Any person giving a
reading or a message could be doing so mediumistically (passive),
psychically (active), or some combination of both. It is not a simple
matter to tell where the reading is coming from and mediums take extra
precautions to be sure that the reading is not coming from them
personally.
Being a medium (or psychic) is a very large responsibility and
typically takes years to develop. You do not have to be "born with it".
Every person has the basic capability, although few develop it. Anyone
can pick up a French horn and make sound, but only a few will learn to
make beautiful music with it. Becoming a medium (or psychic) is the
same way.
