Hi all

I have taken this reading from the book Talking to heaven by James van praggh you can find it Edit; removed link I hope this inspires you as it did me. This is one of many accounts of spirits coming to James to tell the living what lies beyond death.

I chose the following reading because it reflects an all-too common situation when ignorance, prejudice, and fear alienate family members and create shame, bitterness, and guilt.

Joe and carrie, brother and sister, arrived for their appointment on a bright wednesday afternoon. They told me they didn't believe in mediums but felt compelled to see me after having numerous dreams about a brother who had passed over. We sat for a few minutes chatting, until I suddenly became aware of a young man speaking to me. "I have a guy here. He seems to be in his twenties. He has brown hair that is thinning, and i have a sense that he was concerned about losing it. Does that make sense?" Carrie was dumbstruck. Joe answered, "yes, sir, it does." "He wants me to tell you that he awakened with a full head of hair." "He lost all his hair right before he died," mouthed Carrie.
I looked over to Joe and said "Joe, your brother is happy to see you here. He never expected it, but wants you to know that he truly appreciates your coming, and wants you to know that he loves you." Joe turned red and started to tear up.
"who is tommy?" I asked.
"thats his name," said Joe.
"well tommy is okay. He wants you to know that he has made it," I told them. "Please tell him i'm sorry. I just couldn't..." Joe whispered. "Tommy wants you to know he is fine. He keeps on showing me the Bible. He keeps pushing it towards me. why is this?

"Well, our mother is Evangelical, and she reads the Bible all the time. She...."carrie's voice broke off. Then she continued, "She said that tommy would go to hell because of his lifestyle. Mom would pray for the redemption of his soul night and day."
After a few moments Carrie asked meekly, "Is my brother in hell?"
I found meself sitting stoned-faced, amazed once again about how people impose their fears on one enother. After a few minutes, I gave them a message from their brother.
"Tommy wants me to tell you that he must be in heaven because he has never seen any place so beautiful and loving. He says he hasn't seen anything that resembles a place like hell. Hmm....he is saying that hell is on earth."
Joe piped up, "I agree."
"Your brother is telling me that he was so scared before he died because there was a part of him that still believed your mother and her religious convictions. He was in a lot of emotinal turmoil. Did he have AIDS?" "yes," answered Carrie.
"he says he believed your mother when she said his illness was god's punishment because he was gay. I dont feel your brother possessed a lot of self-love and self- confidence."
"Tommy was a good person," replied Carrie. "But he always felt that there was something wrong with him because of how our mother felt."
"sexuality has nothing to do with how much love and kindness a person has in his heart. Please try to understand that. Being gay is not wrong. God knows only love.
Humans are the ones who place conditions on love not God."
I continued to convey their brother's thoughts. "Tommy is telling me that he loves himself more now than ever before."
"Would you please tell him that I'm sorry I didn't see him?" said Joe
"how long did you stay away?" I asked.
"Five years I sort of disowned him when I found out that he was gay. I was afraid that if I was around him, I would get AIDS too. I was so stupid." Joe began weeping.
I sat there and felt all the repressed anger and upset Joe felt for himself. I told him not to be so hard on himself.
"One day you will understand," I said As I was talking to Joe, tommy interrupted.
"Joe do you understand what he means by crossroads?"
"Yeah that is an AIDS group I volunteer for. I started after Tommy died."
I was taken aback by Joe's complete turnaround.
"tommy is smiling because he is very proud of you. You have touched his heart. You have not only have demonstrated your love for him but also your acceptance and your willingness to learn."
Carrie reached out and grabbed Joe's hand.
"Does Tommy know I have been praying for him?" she asked.
"Yes, he is saying that he tried to thank you in a dream, but you diden't understand. He says that it had something to do with a bird."
"Huh. Yes thats right. I had a dream three months ago about a white dove that followed me everywhere. I had a feeling it might be Tommy," Carrie answered.
"Your brother wants you to please tell your mom that he is in heaven with Wendy," I continued.
"Wendy was mom's good friend. What a suprise!" Carrie replied.
"Tommy says that it is much easier for him to understand life now because he sees things in a more expanded that he did on earth."
I let both Joe and Carrie know how much there brother loved them and how he would be with them more than ever before. Before i broke off communication, Joe asked me to say one more thing to his brother.
"Could you please tell him that we love him and that we miss him?"
I listened to Tommys responce. "He knows, and says he will always love you. He wants me to tell you that you will be together again one day in heaven, a place where love never dies."

So many spirits have come through, such as Tommy, who have such a scary picture of the process of death. In Tommy's case, his fear of death was brought about by his mother's belief in the wrathful and vengeful God. In all my experiances, not one spirit has said that God was waiting on the other side to punish it for earthly deeds.
I often say at my demonstrations, "If you're going to believe in something , make sure it is based on love and respect." There are far to many unhappy people that live in fear of hell, fire and damnation.
As the reading revealed, when fear has a paralyzing effect on our lives, it becomes impossible to realize our dreams and fulfill our potential. In such instances there are many healers, teachers, and health professionals that want to help others release their pain, all have diffrent goals and dreams just like us.
God's love comes through every individual on this planet.
We need only to ask for help, and there are persons ready to encourage us to face our fears and to live productive lives.

Far be it from me to burst your bubble....but this guys a charlatan and a fake who exploits peoples misery.Theres a huge thread running in one of the other forums so i wont go into it here.This is known as Cold Reading and even though it seems magical(how could he know that) it's all trickery....i'll link you to the other thread.
I've seen Derren Brown be more accurate than Van Praag and then admit it's all mind games

Hello Faeden

I am also sorry - I have to agree with Bogeyman on this. The guy is a Grief-Monger.
However, please take comfort in the over-all message in that story.
I lost my mum and it hurts every day. And although I dont believe this individual can contact the dear departed - what is written in the article is warming and comforting to those of us who are left to pick up the pieces.

Hi Bogeyman

your a Derren brown dream, he targets the vulnerable, if you know anything about the man (I have studied him greatly) he is just one of the many that have joined the ring of sceptics that have decided to try and prove the paranormal a fake and mediums as charlatans (which some are) with the cold reading idea (which does happen) but people that use cold readings, results are no way near as impressive as a genuine mediums results, with cold reading you cant know things like what man and wife said to each other on there first night of being married, down to the very last word ect. Derren is a charlatan himself because he is trying to prove that the paranormal can be replicated in the science lab (which in some cases it can) but science can make it look like man went to the moon on the TV screen but that doesn’t mean it did not happen. I have no idea what Derren brown and Richard (not so) Wiseman are trying to pull, but doing there pointless scientific dribble and talking of things I am more than aware are possible and that many things that people think are paranormal can be proved to be natural in nature by science, I know that, and so should any person with common sense, what is it they are trying to prove? Anyone that thinks they can prove the paranormal and after life as fake is naive to say the least, these scientific people wanting to prove it all fake my any means necessary are fighting a battle they cant win, they can target vulnerable people that will be taken in by there half truths, and science lab narrow-mindedness, but they cant prove something that is reality to be fake, that man has been fascinated by and unable to explain since the dawn of time. You go Derren brown rather you than me, you lost even before you began I dont know whether to call him brave or just stupid its like one man or a few men going into batter against a million lions.

I'm against fake mediums more than anyone, but in my opinion James is a real honest medium, you say he benefits from peoples suffering from what I can see he comforts millions into realising that there loved ones are well and happy on the other side of life.

Just because someone tells you something on TV doesn’t mean its true and that applies both to people that are sceptics and to people that are believers. Gullibility if not healthy. Derrne brown is not better than the fake mediums them selves.

All the best
Faeden

1 question......have you seen Messiah ,Derren Brown ?

I did.I watched him walk into a room and "cold read" two people.He gave names dates And personal infomation something along the lines that the "spirit" he was talking to had a thing about hats and the fact that the woman he was doing the reading for was having dreams relating to the passing of the spirit.He even provided details about the particular dream .
Surely something he could never have know unless he was in direct contact with spirit right?
WRONG!!! he did it from subtle cues given by the person he was reading for.Cues so small and indistinct that they would bypass most people UNLESS they had been trained or trained themselves to pick up on them.

I feel the vast majority of Mediums or people who claim to be in contact with the dead are charlatans who only do what they do for personal gain be it fame, fortune or just attention .They know they are fraudulent but still operate.
A small minority truly belive they have a gift and can contact spirits to provide comfort to others but again i feel that they are deluding themselves.the voices and vision they "see" are actually generated by themselves.
Perhaps a even smaller minority really can speak to the dead but i would say that if such a person does exist then it's probably only 0.001% of the people claiming to have this gift.
Because this phenomenum is incredibly hard to measure in a scientific way there is no real way to prove or disprove someones ability to talk spirit.So at this point in time it is impossible to prove one side of the argument right or wrong but what i do know is that i saw some one who is not a medium ,openly admits to not being a medium has Never made any claims to have any paranormal abilities or gift ,walk into a room and provide infomation about a departed person and in some cases more relative and accurate infomation then most acclaimed mediums could provide.

Kwai...Thank you

Faeden as i said i dont want to burst your bubble here.....but this is something that has to be faced up to, Derren Brown had "recognised" mediums watching him and even they said he has a gift but he's denying it ???????????????????????
As kwai said he can pick up on things ....like even raising an eyebrow...these are what card players call tells and give away enormous amounts of information on us without us even knowing.
If these guys are so good ....why dont they know exactly who they want to speak to ? For example why does it always seem to start with..."i'm getting the letter m here" or something like that ,why cant the spirit say my name is joe bloggs and thats my wife (or whatever) up there in the red coat..i want to speak to her.....but yet they can impart all this information once the patsy is found.....you say i'd be an ideal canditate for DB Maybe so but he's not lying to me about my dead relatives.
One more thing ....i've done some research on mediumship and the best recognised and most accurate ones ...NEVER EVER take money ...JVP has become a showman.
Also on the Good EVP sites it is often said that spirits will not talk to people who profit from it.....he may have a genuine gift but maybe he's given it up for money

Bogeyman.

No probs!

In a side note i was dragged to a Tony Stockwell show by my girlfriend just after the Derren Brown "Messiah" program had aired.

Tony spent the first five mins or so after walking on stage in a tirade against Derren basically saying he (Derren) had no idea of what real mediumship involved and that he was an idiot and a fraud himself.

Didn't sound like a man confident in his abilities.It sounded like a man desperate to smear someone who had thrown a spanner into his own personal machine.A man belittling someone to cover up his own shortcomings or fraudulent behavior because Derren had prompted many people to question what Tony and people like him did.

He then preceded to do the whole "I'm getting the letter M..." Cast your net wide enough you gonna catch a fishy.


Interestingly enough tickets were £15 each in a full theatre of 500 or so people.

Hey! this is just my opinion Not fact.

FaEDEN

I would ask you to read this post about Derek Accorah...(another "gifted" medium) from the media section.

http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum...showtopic=33281

The very original post from phenomenen is very interesting and shows just how these guys operate.....By the way i am not anti medium or anything like that ...i actually do believe that there are some good genuine ones out there...havent seen any yet but i do believe it can be done....the best i have seen and the jury is still out on him is Gordon Smith from Glasgow.....I think that the comediens french and saunders blew this guy accorah out of the water ......he could never be taken seriously after watching their version of "almost haunted nearly live"

Gotta love Derek for entertainment alone! my favorite to date was the spirit of ET on the live edition.Quality!!!

Hi Bogeyman

As I said I am fully aware there are frauds out there, I dont believe James is one of them, as he never took a single penny for his show Beyond, half the profits went to the TV company, and the other half went to charity, its what James agreed to before he started filming, the reason the show is no longer filmed is because the TV company wanted more of the profits, and James refused to film anymore.

I have already read that post about Derek when it was posted up on the SW site. when Derek went on Mostly Haunted I had my doubts as I know for a fact that the show is fraudulent and is just giving the public what they want to see and at the same time showing the paranormal world up.

I have seen the Messiah program yes and that’s what I am commenting on, just because people can give cold readings doesn’t mean that mediums always do this, there are things that some cold readings no matter how good can know, and to think it can is as out there as claiming its paranormal in origin.

What I did not understand about Messiah was, I watched it and thought what was that supposed to prove? I already knew about that, and that its all possible, what was Derren’s point ? I know there are a lot of blind faith believers out there, and stupid people, you seen them on every Most Haunted live, but I am not one of them and am aware of how people use tricks, but to claim that this is what is down to all paranormal activity is naive to say the least.

I know a medium as a friend and I am not talking about come most haunted or Derek wannabe brandishing a pendulum or dowsing rods here, she has been doing it for 30 or so years and is respected all over the UK, I know her personally and know for a fact that she would never make up her gift. She is a very honest person and to say she is deluding others or her self is just insane. I'm sceptical but not so much I blind my self to facts just like the blind faith believer does.

Done worry theirs 0 chance of you bursting my bubble

All the best
Faeden

If its true he didn't take money(I doubt it) hes still an obvious fraud. Read some thing on cold reading and then watch his show. Its so obvious thats what he's doing its pathetic. At least Brown and Edwards give a half way decent magic act for the money you pay them.

*bangs my head repeatedly against the wall*

I am aware cold reading exists....

I believe John Edwards to be a poor medium, as when he is giving readings all the people having them seem to do is shake there head in confusion, people having a reading from James on the other hand all seem to be constantly nodding there heads in agreement. I think mediums frighten some people so much they will do anything to try and prove them to be fake (which many are). I have spoken to many others about sceptics, and I have spoken to sceptics too and you always find that they have had some terrifying unexplained experience, normally as a kid, and as a way of pretending the paranormal doesn’t exist they turn to science for comfort.

He is not pathetic he brings comfort to millions.

All the best
Faeden

He brings a lie to millions. Most of the people who waste the time to go see these con artists wind up being disappointed. Why don't they tellbecause all of them James Van Fraud included force there audiences to sign agreements that they won't say any thing disparraging. He's preforming a trick thats all. Tapings of his magic act look as good as they do because like all psychic con artists he tapes for hours then edits so you only see the times he's right. Even then he's not very careful. One great example during an appearance on Howard Stern he confidently predicted they'd soon find Chandra Levi's body. Gee James can't you read news papers he body was found 6 months before he made the prediction. He's a scam artist who should be thrown in jail like any other common con artist. The only reason these con men aren't prosecuted is they fall to close to religion which gives them protection.,

G Kev, you seem to have a lot of anger in you towards mediums Maybe you should join the anti fake medium squad. You should have some faith in human kind, not all are out to rip you of, or make a easy buck, there are some people out there that are honest, believe it or not.

As you seem a little hostile I will not respond to your posts after this one, thanks for your comments though

All the best
Faeden

Actually its not jsut mediums. I can't stand any of the worthless con artists who give real researchers a bad name. If Van Praagh is real let him submit to proper testing. Heck theres a million dollars to the first one who can prove they have these kind of powers and even if he doesn't need the money hteres plenty of charities that do.

Hi there - sorry this took some time to find but here you go ~

FIRST TIME VAN PRAAGH GOT CAUGHT
'Van Praagh was bombing in his reading of a gentleman named Peter, who was poker-faced and obviously skeptical (without feedback Van Praagh's hit rate drops by half). After dozens of misses, Van Praagh queried, "Who is Charlie?" Peter sat there dumbfounded, unable to recall if he knew anyone of significance named Charlie, when suddenly the woman sitting in back of him a complete stranger blurted out "Charlie was our family dog." Van Praagh seized the moment and proclaimed that he could see Charlie and Dad taking walks in heaven together.

The highlight of the 20/20 piece, however, was a case of hot reading that Van Praagh denied having done. On a break, with the video camera rolling, while relaxing and sipping a glass of water, he suddenly called out to a young woman named Mary Jo: "Did your mother pass on?" Mary Jo nodded negatively, but volunteered "Grandmother." A full 54 minutes later Van Praagh turned to her and said: "I want to tell you, there is a lady sitting behind you. She feels like a grandmother to me."

Van Praagh suspects he might have been set up by 20/20. I can assure you he was not. In this particular incident, for example, neither he nor the producers were aware that the camera was on during the break. When I was there they asked me about the grandmother hit, and I explained that I would have guessed that myself because of the woman's age it would more likely be a grandparent than a parent, and from there you have a 50/50 shot. Just then one of the line producers said, "you know, I think he got that on the break....'

This is just a small paragraph taken from this site http://www.badpsychics.co.uk/

Was he having an 'off' day?

anyone talking with the dead is a fraud . "hey i see a little old lady wearing a funny hat standing behind you and an older large man in overalls".

the truth is that could be anybodys long lost relatives.

maybe i should write a book too??

Hi dancin



If it wasn’t form there Id take it more seriously, they only have one agenda (despite what they say) and that is to prove all psychics fake, which makes then null and void. You cant investigate something with the mind set that you already know the out come of the investigation, they have all ready made up there mind that physics are fake, so there evidence is worthless. Badpsychics are just another part of the corrupt ring of die hard sceptics that will do what ever it takes to try and convince the public that the paranormal is all fake. It doesn’t matter that they are corrupt because they normally have the title DR so no one ever questions the DR, if ones a DR then it must be true right? I have seen these types of people when they get angry about belief in the paranormal, and many of them have a hatred towards the paranormal, especially psychics and mediums. What gets me is if a medium is not 100% smack on then they run about like excited monkeys saying see see see there frauds. Some mediums are damned if they do and damned if they dont. And lets not forget a lot of the information real mediums bring up is not always recognised at the time by the one having the reading, its only when they get home or talk to others in there family that its realised what the information meant. Its not surprising most mediums refuse to be tested by science, look how they where treated in the past when they did, and look how they are treated now. If I was a medium id tell then to get lost too, why should they prove it to science anyway? Science will try and debunk it no matter what evidence is put forward because it would contradict there beliefs, something many science will not accept. Many tests where done on mediums in the early 1900s onwards and many mediums did what they claimed they could do, and the scientists went away scratching there heads, and then because they could not figure out how they did it they came to the conclusion that the results where inconclusive, saying that "the mediums must have tricked them in away they could not figure out" or had "missed".

Mediums cant win either way. Many die hard sceptics focus on the evidence for it all being fake and ignore the evidence that cant be dismissed by there books and scientific equipment, not all but most. And then if a scientist does decided to have an open mind they are ridiculed by there fellow scientists so they cant win either.




Nice one jsf35rino you finally solved the mystery

All the best
Faeden

Actually studies have shown beleivers are far worse judges of psychics then people who are convinced its all hooey. Frankly its simpy true that the vast majority of psychics have no magical powers what so ever. They're just to a greater or lesser(in many cases lesser) degree adept at using psychology and gleaned information(its a fact that Edwards at least and undoubtably Praagh use plants in the crowd before the show starts to glean as much information as possible from people its the oldest scam in the book). Any one can do an act at least as good as Praaghs with a minimum of training(Praagh is frankly a very bad guesser it amazes me any one takes him seriously I mean predicting they'd soon find a body thats been found for months). There are a handful of people who probably have a gift. I've known several people who had an uncanny knack for pulling very personal information out of thin air with out asking blatently leading questions. The two major differences between them and the tv scam artists is that they never take money for it, and none of them want any publicity.

Kev the fact you used the words "Magical powers" to describe what Mediums do shows your level of understanding on these things. Do you follow me around this forum just looking to put my posts down? or you have a thing for me? I appreciate you have opinions and that you must watch a lot of movies, but please stop attacking every post I write, debate please, but it seems you have a grudge against me for some reason.

All the best
Faeden

Yeah I watch to many movies and you listen to to many con artists. Your nonsense is probably all borrowed from frauds like Praagh and Brown. As to following you can the paranoid delusions I could frankly care less what some arm chair expert like you thinks. I'll post as and where I like and unless your a moderator kindly don't tell me what to do.

And calling mediumship magic is dead on accurate. Half of htem are magicians like Harry Houdini or Penn and Teller(just not any hwere near as good). The ohters are practicing what untill the late 1800s was considered a form of magic.

awwww Kev lighten up.......Name calling is mean.

All the best
Faeden

Name calling? No I'm sorry saying a murderer is a murderer isn't name calling. Saying some one who bilks the greiving out of thousands of dollars a year and offers NOTHING in return(they don't offer comfort most of there victems come away feeling quite stupid after a live reading) is a con artist. Besides I thought you weren't responding to me on this subject any more.

I'm falling for you Kev, I just cant stay away.

Hey you two....GET A ROOM

Faeden....i can see that you must think that everone's closed their minds to this.I am not a hard boiled sceptic ,as Mulders poster said "I want to believe" but my very first question has never been answered by anyone (not just you) namely this.

If i were a spirit coming through to JVP......I would say ,my name is bogeyman and that is my sister (or whatever) up there in the red dress,i will prove who i am by telling you this about her and me.....!
But instead what you really get is "does the letter m mean anything to anyone ......eh ?"
Why is this ? If the spirits can go on to tell the most wondrous things about money behind the bed or a will thats in a chair somewhere....why cant they start off by saying their name and who they wish to speak to ?

Why is the word "skeptic" automatically associated with closed mindedness?

Skeptic by their very nature QUESTION phenomena looking at all possblilties.People who whole heartedly believe tend toward dismissing any other explination.
Which one really has the closed Mind?
As i posted earlier There may be someone out there who truely can communicate with the dead .Actually receive infomation from the spirit of a dead person. I am not dismissing the possiblilty but until there is a cognative method to measure this all we have is the word of the person claiming to do this .Which no matter what angle you look at it from is not enough evidence to suggest that Mediumship is possible.

It's like saying " i just saw thirty elephants charging up the High street"

Really? got any photos?

NO

What about witnesses who saw them too?

No only me

What about physical evidense ? footprints Etc

They were there but they have gone

Do you have any evidence that you saw them.

Yes my word! and the fact that i have seen them before and have experiance in seeing elephants.

He may have seen them but until there is hard evidence the fact that that person may be either delusional or lying cannot be dismissed.

Hi Bogeyman

Ill try to answer your question, but I am unsure it will satisfy you Many people think that spirits just because they have passed over can easily effect the physical world, which is far from true, just like we cant effect the spiritual world easily, its not a reality to us, its a difference plan of existence, just like our world is to spirits, the physical world is not there reality. Some spirits can communicate with the physical better than others, its like in physical life some people are better communicators than others, some are more sensitive to the spiritual world than others, its the same for spirits some can communicate with the physical better, so some that come through to a medium can not just slap a medium on the back and say "how you doing mate, my name is Rob, my sisters name is many lee, and I was a shoe salesman in my physical life" (this is possible and does happen) But its rare, spirits find it hard to communicate with the physical realm, just as we do to theirs. Mediums get messages in different ways, it all depends on the medium, some will get images in there heads to help them communicate to the people they are giving the readings to, such as being given letters for initials like (M) Or (T.M) sometimes its the only way the spirits are able to communicate, sometimes they can give them a image of there whole name, it all depends on the ability of the individual spirit, and the ability of the medium, some are better than others. Sometimes the spirit will send an emotion to the medium to help tell there loved ones things, sometimes they will send them thoughts of sentences, like talk to them with there thoughts, the medium knows his/hers own thoughts from a spirits thoughts, some will let send them video like images of things they are trying to get to there loved ones through there minds eye of the medium. There are different types of mediums, some can only have the ability to pick up on just one of the things I just talked about, some can do them all, but the ones that have the ability to pick up on all these sense the spirits will use for communication are rare, but they seem to be the most impressive.

The answer to your question is simple, simply because they cant do that as easily as many might think, spirits dont find it easy to get messages to the living . Some mediums are better than others at it, but mostly its only snippets of information the spirit can get through, and the medium has to do his or her best to interpret the message best they can.

Hi kwai

I am sceptical, I am not talking about people that are sceptical, I am talking about people that are narrow-minded and think they already know that the paranormal is fake, and only have one agenda to prove it all as fake, its the fundamentalist sceptics I have a problem with. Of course its healthy to keep a sceptical side.


All the best
Faeden

Thanks Faeden
I understand what you're saying ...but i'm sure that you have seen as often as me a medium starting off with this approach....i'm getting the letter m ,and then when they find someone, the information starts flowing like water from a tap....no trouble with communication there then eh !.
In fairness as i said earleir in the thread....i've seen Gordon Smith from Glasgow on a few times now ...and he really did blow me away.They follwed him to the states where he did a huge hall,and he was calling down to people at the back of the hall and specifying exactly who he wanted...(he was too far away to see reactions or faces)...and getting the information spot on....i'd love to get a reading from him...it's the only way to be 100% sure.
