Steven Bird Poetry

After a session of sitting in the power, Trev prepares a new digital notepad before closing his eyes, saying a prayer and sending a request to his team in the spirit world. When he hears the first few words from the connecting speaker, he commences with the transcribing process of writing everything that comes into his mind. 

Only a few words are heard at a time, giving Trevor time to transcribe them. Trevor never knows ahead what the topic of the communication will be, nor the direction and composition of the message. 

The process is known as automatic or inspired writing, determined by the amount of the altered state of mind.

The Spirit Insights sessions are usually published some time after first being transcribed. Because Trev was a conduate during that process, what was written doesn't stay in Trev's mind. 

The star rating can be found just under the 'Afterthoughts' title. The rating is based on 0 - 10. Trev sets the grade according to 'pure' he believes the message to be. This happens at the time of creating the public presentation. A full 10 is unlikely to happen because Trev's mind has to remain active to some degree during the process of transcribing the spirit's message. 

These sessions were presented to the Spirited Talk Envoys 2 months before each was generally released. It is partly due to the funding from the Envoy fees that this website can continue to develop and grow into a valuable source of information for the enthusiastic students of this way of life.

Mind, or mental mediumship is the most common form of relaying messages from the spirit world. To achieve these spirit-inspired messages, Trev sits in the power and prepares as he would for a normal reading. The difference being that the connected person in spirit knows Trev is transcribing their message, word for word. The obvious missing detail is being able to validate through evidence, as in a normal reading.

Trev became a student of mediumship at the turn of this century and has been practising and learning ever since. He retired from public work in 2022 and now devotes much of his time to documenting and archiving his work for other like-minded students to learn from.

This article might be based from the opinions of Trev and may not align with others' opinions. Consider what you read, and if it doesn't resonate with you, or is different to that which you've learnt, go with what sits right with you. 

The most important foundations for working with the spirit world are to remain a student and always be humble to learn and grow. Trev is proud that after 25 years he declares to continue being a life student for this path of life.

Directly below the article title, you'll see a date stamp. This informs you when this article was originally written. As with everything we learn, over time, our opinions may change. This website is an archive of Trev's work. Some articles are newer than others.

Some feature images used on this website were produced using AI generation apps. Where AI assistance has been used in the text, it will display with a shaded background that's different to the other text. Any content acquired through AI is checked for accuracy with reliable sources.

At the beginning of the Covid pandemic, Trev decided to launch a new podcast series in which he would discover the stories behind some of the UK's best-known mediums. Spirited Talk Podcasts were popular and continue to receive hundreds of listeners across the globe. In 2023, high production costs forced Trev to stop the project, and it was mothballed for the future. However, the recordings remain popular and timeless.

Some of the original links and website references used within the recordings may no longer be valid. However, the stories and details remain important and valuable to all students of this work with the Spirit world

Though the podcasts had to end in 2023, Trev has never dismissed the possibility that new episodes might return some day in the future.

From the very start of The Spirited Talk Podcasts, one man has consistently funded Trev's work. Robert James has given a monthly donation that has allowed the podcasts to remain distributed on all the main podcast apps, including Apple and Amazon. Without his monthly donation, the podcasts would only be available on this website. Instead, the recordings continue to receive hundreds of listeners in many countries around the world. Thank you, Robert, for your tireless support.

I feel I should make it clear that I am not a qualified tutor of mediumship. I have many years behind me as a student of this work with spirit, and I have acquired much knowledge and experience along the way. Everything you read in this article is largely based on my opinions. If you read anything that is contrary to something you have previously learned, consider carefully which feels better for you.

As we gain more knowledge through our learning processes our opinions often change. Opinions can also vary from one person to the next. The information in this section is largely based on the opinions of the author at the time of creating the presentation.
