To Develop Mediumship:
A Working Guide to Unfoldment
The
Many Faces of Mediumship
This
lesson introduced you to the different forms of mediumship: message
mediumship; inspirational mediumship; healing mediumship; and
physical mediumship.
Before proceeding to Lesson Three, let us introduce you to the
different ways and means used by spirit to communicate through
a medium. A quick glimpse at this list should convince you of
our initial comments: the spirits use mediums for a variety of
specific purposes. These represent the principle ways in which
mental and physical mediumship manifest. Each will be discussed

Because
of the specific nature of healing mediumship, its study is reserved
for a special series of lessons, entitled The Healing Spirit.
We hope to have this ready for distribution in the near future.
Finally: in your study of mediumship, it will become just as important
for you to understand what mediumship is not as it will be to
understand what mediumship is. Therefore, mediumship is not:
-
An unnatural
phenomenon.
-
A
special gift bestowed upon the spiritually elite.
-
An
indication of spiritual achievement.
-
Magic.
-
Something
which can be turned on and off like a machine.
-
Contrary
to God's laws.
-
Miraculous.
Mediumship follows the precepts of known spiritual laws.
-
To
be used to read minds or to control others.
-
A
parlor game or a source of entertainment. Mediumship is a
serious endeavor and should be approached with dignity and
respect.
-
Dangerous.
Practiced with responsibility and respect, mediumship cannot
harm anyone! It is the irresponsible practice of mediumship
which can bring about difficulty.
