Spiritalk, your responses to me here and in the other thread astonish me, even at this point.  Clearly, you feel that your "authority" is challenged; it's a natural human instinct to attack when that happens, but not a very spiritual one--strange, considering the high levels of spirituality tha...

Hi, Crow, I LIKE when you do your thinking!  It always makes for interesting and insightful reading for the rest of us! There's not much that I actually have to say on this subject, actually, as I'm still trying to figure a lot of it out.  I do think it's important to learn to discern betw...

Hi, Rae, One part of your post kind of reminded me of myself, in a funny way.  It was the part where you said that you feel bad because you can "only" feel the presence of spirits.  At this point (it took a while) I can feel, see, and communicate with them.  But every so often I find ...

I honestly have no idea whether it's possible for someone to "learn" to be able to see and communicate with spirits.  With me--as I've mentioned elsewhere here--it came out of the blue relatively late in my life (maybe it was latent all along, but it had never really occurred to me to try).  Once it...

"I remember reading somewhere that a lot of the seers in ancient times would be considered insane by today's standards." I'm pretty confident that--at least among some--I'd be considered insane by today's standards, too!  I used to kind of worry about that at first, but then I looked into it mo...

Thank you--I'm sure that the same is true for you.  (I actually enjoy doing that--not always sure that I'm of any help whatsoever, but it reminds me of the work I used to do.  And I'm usually so ridiculously happy most of the time these days that I just want to at least TRY to spread some ...

"or receiving peace of mind from helping another or the feeling of love for helping another...i think if we give give give without anything in return material or spiritual" I agree that it can be draining to feel that one is giving and giving with nothing in return.  But, on the other hand, do ...

"A good idea:  to attune yourself.  That is excellent advice.  But not all people have the skills, knowledge or even the talent to make that connection.  Asking for help from a working medium is not a bad way to connect with loved ones and guides." I agree.  I know that I've...

"is the perfect world it would be perfectly acceptable to not accept money for performing a skill that is like a gift. Unfortunately, we have not reached this point of human evolution." I guess I believe that we don't reach certain points of human evolution, or move toward a more perfect world, unle...

You too, Crow!  I've been TRYING to lay low for a while and not spend so much time on MB, and online in general...doesn't always work out too well, though!  Sometimes I just see a post that strikes a chord, like this one. It's good to hear a lot of different thoughts, feelings, and opinion...

"I charge for my services as it takes time, effort and educated skills to accomplish good mediumship.  And I do consider mine good mediumship. " I consider mine "good mediumship" as well.  The initial gift, in fact, did NOT come through any effort of my own.  However, the "skills" I h...

Myself I am not allowed to charge for the messages relayed. Having being told that if I do I will loose what was given to me.  Maybe there are other rules for other mediums, I dunno.  My Guides, and Guardian will not let me charge for certain things.  They say this is a big no-no. &n...

My own (possibly judgemental and definitely controversial) opinion on this is that people who have the gift of or ability to communicate with spirits have no business gaining financially from it, and that those who do, for the most part, should be dealt with carefully.  (I know that others see ...

I'm very sorry that you're having to deal with that, but what difference does the gender of the people who respond to your post make?

That's good to hear.  I wasn't trying to assume anything about your approach; as I said, it sounds as if you're thoughtful and caring about it.  I guess I've just watched some of those "ghost-hunter" shows and thought that it was terrible how "ghosts" were chased around as if they were wil...
