Reading this session afresh for this presentation has reminded me of a minute detail of this work that is often overlooked.
Every tutor helping others with their mediumship, will consistently remind the student that the most important aspect of this work is trust. But trust is an invisible action. There are no instructions available. Whilst stood on the roof edge of high building, without a parachute or safety net, there is nothing anyone can tell you that will make you trust and jump.
Trust comes from developing a deep relationship with whatever or whoever. Trusting the spirit world comes after the relationship has been established and the process of connection has been tested and internally accepted. Trust is a self-determined aspect.
When I first started transcribing the messages, I had many doubts as to where the words were coming from. My mind felt normal, I didn’t feel distanced. Yet these words were flowing through my mind without me needing to think of them in advance. Over time, I trusted the words were originating from an alternative source than my thinking mind. Removing the doubts helped the words flow more freely and the relationship developed.
In today’s session, the speaker talks about that trust and how mediums should spend more time developing this aspect of their mediumship. This is one of the most important lessons a medium can learn, yet one of the most missing ingredients in their work.
- POSTSCRIPT
The speaker is spot-on in her opening statement. I did occasionally open a new notebook to transcribe their words, only to allow my own mind to think up a topic. They never followed my thoughts though!
THE WFSIW SESSION
You often sit on the power waiting for some inspiring thoughts about what it is you should write. I'd have thought by now you have learnt that whatever you think about is never going to be the subject we choose. This desire of yours does reflect your doubt in us, and our abilities to bring you words of our own.
When you next sit, try and just focus your mind on stilling itself and leave the rest to us.
This problem is not just one you display, but all mediums also. Mediums have this wasted desire to want to interpret everything into their own words.
I am fully aware that to a little extent they will need to do that. But if they were to focus more on their connection, rather than the composure of the message, their spirit connect would naturally work more clear anyway.
This habit is one of misfocus. Not working in the right area of their connection.
You sее, all of these words you are writing are from me, and not from your own mind.
Yes it does frustrate us at times. But it shows where the person needs to be educating themself. Usually we are able to direct the appropriate learning in their direction.
We've often told you and your readers that mediumship, in itself, is a simple practice. The complications and the difficulties come with getting the medium to stop over-complicating the process. Of course, there are other elements that have to be in alignment for a good connection on both sides of the communication. But many of these would naturally fall into place if the medium, and the spirit-connect for that matter, were to keep their focus on strengthening the connection.
I have a question for you right now. How do you know these words are from me in my realm? You've come to trust, correct? You do so without question. You follow your connection ritual and you don't question, right? Yet you still worry that the message may not come through!
I was never a medium on earth, I would have found it too difficult to free my mind and give away control of it. But when I came here, I wanted to learn more about it, because here, I obviously knew that life continues.
On earth, teachers would have been wasting their time trying to get me to learn the process. You see how I just let you know I was a lady, while you were writing my words. You're getting better by the day.
Recently you've shown great advancement in understanding many of the more challenging details of life this side. Good for you.There is so much more knowledge you will gain doing
this work. You do still retain a little too much curiosity about who you are listening to. You still insist on seeing us in your mind’s eye as people. We are not. We present ourselves as that form when needed to but we are now a somewhat different life form. Yes, you’re thinking I’ve taken the lid off another can of worms. Just accept what I tell you for now, and don’t worry about the details.
Now, let what I’ve shared with you today be a lesson you will take heed of.
Go do something else and when you read my words in the future, you will understand them more.
Goodbye

MY AFTERTHOUGHTS TODAY
Wednesday 20th November 2024
343 days after the session was transcribed
Reading this today, almost one year later has allowed me to appreciate the message without any attachment of the words coming from me. I know they don’t, but the time passed has strengthened the power of the message, which, I believe is mediumship 101.
🔷 The first paragraph underpins the ability to automatically write the words of spirit. They need the mind. The writer needs the mind. The trust comes in understanding and practice.
🔷 Even with the most dedicated mediums, there is usually always a degree of nervousness involved. This is an energy that works distroys trust, one that mediums have to learn to overcome.
🔷 The lady speaker leaves with a tease, suggesting that their normal state of being is not as a human-type person with a body. That makes sense the more you absorb it. Perhaps some time, I’ll learn more about this.
"You still insist on seeing us in your mind’s eye as people. We are not. We present ourselves as that form when needed to but we are now a somewhat different life form."
