This is the eleventh of the seventh series of Lanzarote Sessions, transcribed during a break to the Canary Islands in September 2024. During our frequent visits, I sit in the power of spirit at least once every day and allow the spirit connect to share a message with me.
|| This summary written on 20th January 2025
Today’s lesson from the speaker in spirit is, yet again, a powerful message. I accept entirely their point and try every day to embrace those sentiments.
I won’t detract from your enjoyment of the message by giving exact details in this preamble. I will, however, add a comment here that’s worth considering. I am no saint when it comes to ticking the boxes and crossing the t’s in my mediumship study. I make mistakes, and I often try to shortcut the shortcut! My father always said that when you point a finger at others, you have four fingers remaining that point back at you. Okay, technically, it’s only three fingers and a thumb, but I’m sure you understand the point.
One of the common reasons we see the faults in others is because we recognise those same faults in ourselves. That doesn’t take away from the fault existing. When a student used to come to me for advice about what they could do to improve their mediumship, it was often the same suggestions they needed to hear. Do more, learn more, sit in the power more, practice more and find more time to do it.
If someone told you today that you will be an amazing medium in five years, how would you feel? But what if the plan included you spending double the amount of time with mediumship than you currently spend, would you still believe it would be worth it? What if that advice came with a suggestion, based on your current activity with mediumship, it will take four times the length of time. In other words, twenty years.
Now you’re left with a dilemma! How badly do you want to be an outstanding medium? What price are you prepared to pay to achieve it? You see, it’s one thing to write down the reason you want to become a great medium. That’s an easy statement to declare. But what are you prepared to invest into making that possible? Ah, now there is the issue!
With those few points afresh in your mind, read what today’s speaker suggest as the reason many mediums fail to reach their true potential.
I take lessons quite seriously, such as the one in this session. This is part of becoming better at what I do. Sometimes, I get annoyed that I’m a perfectionist with my work. Being so, can and does, slow me down, get in the way, and highlights my personal faults all too easily.
THE SPIRIT INSIGHT
transcribed on Wednesday, 25th September 2024 at 4:40 pm
Hello student. You are nearly an excellent student too. You’re keen to learn and that’s a good way to be. You’re not an excellent student though. Before you take umbrage, most other students aren’t excellent either.
To become the most excellent student one must do more than hear the lesson. One must act upon it, until that what it teaches becomes part of the student.
You, as example, have been privy to many lessons about your mediumship and your life in general. But how many of those lessons have you fully absorbed into your being?
This is what defines the good from the greatest. As your tutors have said more than once, potential minus intent is nothing. Potential with intent is progress.
Now, I’m aware that you value taking physical notes and referring to them often, but you’d be amazed at how many students don’t even take notes. Educating yourself involves discipline beyond what you might have in the classroom. You’ve been your own boss much of your later working year. You set the targets and did the work. But did you ever stretch yourself beyond your known limits?
Progress involves action. Action involves friction. Friction comes from motion. Yes, you might write that thought you just had.
Motivation – Motive for Action
Now listen to me, please. The degree of difference between your great mediums and your good mediums is very minute. It’s that tiniest amount of increased extra effort that defines the greatest mediums.
They may well have had their gift for longer in life. That’s where their abilities have been attuned. But that does not limit you, or others to become great at what you do. Your world needs better mediums. That means it needs better students. Students that, not just want to learn, but are prepared to work on the tiny details to define their work greater.
Too many mediums are prepared to accept mediocrity from themselves because they’re not prepared to go the extra mile.
I want you to start doing that more in your work with us. Go the extra mile. Remove obstacles, such as egos, emotions and the like, and focus on details. Learn every day. Make it your mission to become great at what you do. And why not aim to become the greatest at it. You certainly can achieve that, as can anyone reading these words. Fuel the fire. The fire is the desire. The desire is the driving force.
I’ve enjoyed sharing my lesson with you today. I hope you see the potential in all the details of these words.
Go be that person your soul wants you to be.
That is all.
MY AFTERTHOUGHTS
written at the time of this presentation
- I marked this session a little harshly, giving it only 7.5 stars. It’s entirely plausible that the message is coming from my higher spirit, reminding me that I’m not doing all I need to, to achieve my goals.
- The evidence that it’s not my words comes from a couple of the meme statements that I believe are not of my thinking. See the favourite line below as an example.
- To know and not to do, is the same as not knowing—another of my often repeated phrases. If you know you’re not putting the effort in, yet continue to expect better results, you’re fooling only yourself.

One Response
Hi Trevor
Another conversation which spoke directly to me. Would I like to be one of the great? Yes if that is what I have been called to do and not just some form of ego trip. Whether or not I am the greatest medium is for others to decide. Clarity of purpose should be an objective for students of mediumship. A medium should revisit their objectives regularly to ensure that s/he is still achieving what they set out to do. In my case, to prove there is an afterlife, to help the bereaved have proof that their loved ones are still very much “alive” they are just not here at the moment and to deliver messages on behalf of loved ones passed. Being able to do these things and continuing to develop will, in my eyes, make me a great medium.
Thanks again Trevor for the work you do on the website for the benefit of myself and others.
