With Dr. Hawking not able to defend himself this amounts to nothing more than here-say, perhaps even slander or libel. cormac The point of the interview is to allow him to express himself freely.. No proof was attempted for skeptics as thati is not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be fun to see that woman saying "Oh oh! I'm losing my connection". Well present us with both a brilliant physicist and a brilliant medium and we’ll listen. Until then.......

Space Commander Travis Posted May 3, 2018 #31 Share Posted May 3, 2018 How did Prof. Hawking speak to them? If it wasn't through his trademark Dalek voice I'd be very disappointed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlitterRose Posted May 3, 2018 #33 Share Posted May 3, 2018 8 hours ago, papageorge1 said: Here is an interview with Stephen Hawking after his death. Characters in this video: Erik Medhus: Young man who committed suicide and now works to aid spiritual enlightenment from the other side. Elisa Medhus: Erik's mother seen in video Veronica: Medium who communicates with the deceased Erik and Stephen Hawkin. Interview My take. I think this is highly likely to be genuine contact with Erik and Hawking. These two (Elisa and Veronica) are not perfect nor claim to be perfect. They absolutely claim to be honest and sincere. I have been following Elisa for some time and if not always the best at communication skills (she's a medical doctor), I believe her to be honest and genuine. Why? Of course they claim to be honest and sincere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no evidence that Hawking can agree to anything at this point. And it's a disservice because it goes against everything he stood for. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have studied the Channeling Erik material for years now including books and an on-line blog and a facebook page and formed my personal position from all that. I do believe it is likely that I had a couple pranks played on me by Erik himself (one of his trademarks), but that is another subject. You are free of course to summarily dismiss them.

+Not A Rockstar Posted May 3, 2018 #43 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Totally aside from whether you believe in mediums or not, is the fact that a single check on the offerings on youtube from this crew includes interviews with Laci Peterson, Nicole Brown Simpson, Jack the Ripper, Jesus and Hugh Hefner to name a few on top returns. The link feeds to their website. Their youtube links feature ads (revenue). I am not at all adverse to a paranormal worker making a living, unlike some. However, I was taught very early on by my own guides that you do not disrespect the privacy of the Dead. Were these released by the relatives of the deceased, I could live with it without opinion. But a little crew of people who are strangers to the famous deceased doing these contacts back to back is basically voyeurism, exploitation and a violation of basic decency imo. If they are not my kin or I am asked by someone specific to attempt a contact, or I have a compelling reason, I don't go out there hunting or publish anything I find out or perceive if I do make any contact. ONCE, while entering the astral space I go to to start an attempt I saw unsolicited, a celebrity I recognized. I was so surprised I greeted him and we did talk for a few moments. Then, I moved on. What he said personal to him I do not consider myself free to toss out anywhere, and none of it was earth shaking. He asked what I was over there for and I told him and he offered some thoughts of his own on it, and it was a nice contact. He turned out to be a really decent guy. But, I would never publish such a thing anywhere, irrelevant whether my claims would be believed or not. It is no different than if I sent a private message to someone here. I consider that private. THIS is why I do not respect these people. They are just basically using famous names to gain ad revenue. It is not just a question of "do you believe or not in mediums". What it comes down to is Do you support users? I don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarMountainKid Posted May 3, 2018 #45 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I posted my opinions on psychic powers in my Blog just now. It's called, "Psychic-Psychosis". It's a warning that those with psychic powers may be interested in. Thought that would be a more appropriate place to rattle on. I don't want to discourage anyone from using their psychic powers, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have come to accept it as a way to get some people interested. Hawkin I put here because one would naturally wonder what a great scientific thinker would experience when finding himself in the afterlife. What I find disrespectful is when people go into celebrities, garbage, private records, medical records, interview nefarious characters regarding the celebrity, etc, without the celebrity being a willing participant in the information exchange. Or even discussing their afterlife condition without their willing participation would also be an invasion of privacy. HOWEVER, in the case of these afterlife interviews, I believe the celebrity chooses to and wants to communicate in this fashion and understands the process and purpose. Erik is the meeting facilitator and organizes and explains things on both sides. That then becomes OK with me. They want to contribute their thoughts!

And unless you have verifiable evidence to show reason for anyone to believe that Dr. Hawking had any beliefs in either a deity, an afterlife or spiritual communications contrary to anything he stated in life then it all amounts to here-say and you are just as guilty in promoting these charlatans as they are of impugning a good mans beliefs and reputation. Making excuses for your offense doesn’t exonerate you of them IMO. cormac 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot, and neither can they. These people have a proven track record of click baiting. Anyone who actively supports such vile practices is actively working against the real workers out there. Jack the Ripper...Jesus Christ..... spare me. This is like those who claimed that Darwin retracted his Theory of Evolution on his deathbed. Hogwash. Let their lives stand for what they were and go and interview a missing victim and find their dam body then and prove something real. THAT would generate interest from the sceptics. This is just punching the people who respected Dr Hawking, including myself, in the face and is hateful. Anyway, this is my last post on this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
