Are we all mediums?

But anyone that claims 100 percent is full of hot air.
I've been able to accurately tell the future or give verifiable information to many people. I also strongly feel that I channel something/someone else on a regular basis. I'm excited at the prospect that some day science will make some amazing discoveries involving the things that myself and others tap into with these same abilities.
Overall I have to say that I too have a lot of questions and can't fully understand, and I am okay with that, & secure in who I am. I stand by the "Don't put god in a box" and let the universe sort things out in it's own way instead of smacking people down left and right with rigid views.

Yes we are all here to learn and help one another. I am currently reading a book that I strongly suspect you would find helpful.

I have been a medium for some time and this book has explained many things to me. I suspect that we are only scratching the surface of our human potentials.

I'm not an individual who asks questions that are "kind of silly". When I ask a proper question about a subject on which there is great ambiguity, it's not in any way "kind of silly"?

I asked you as I've asked countless others on this and on other websites because the word 'medium' is one which is used to mean different things. Yours is yet another variant.

What kind of medium are you, John?

I didn't ask that you speak for everyone. I asked what you thought and I had read what you wrote.

You said "I personally feel that sure, some people are born with a naturally strong ability to communicate with the deceased, but those from the other side can and will come through to whoever, whenever it is appropriate." You didn't say that was what you thought a medium is or does. It isn't, incidentally, my understanding of a medium. That's simply communication.

It's also wholly conjecture that, quote: "....those from the other side can and will come through to whoever," and that situation is not born out in practice.

As you said, that word "medium" means different things to different people. The spirits that I talk with do not need to be deceased or "not embodied".

For this simple soul perhaps you could just describe what you are/what you do in a few words?

Well, I'm not sure if I am getting your tone over the internet, but it seems like you're getting a bit uppity about the whole thing. Of course asking that question is going to invite a broad range of responses, because different people=different perspectives. Which may turn it into something rather..Convoluted. I am merely attempting to provoke people (in a good way) to take what others say with a grain of salt and draw their own conclusions from their own feelings and experiences.

You're confusing my serious approach with being "a bit uppity".

I asked you a question about yourself - I was interested in hearing what you had to say. I've been doing this kind of thing for years so I already know what the range of answers will likely encompass. But I still like to learn what individuals think and from that I gain a broader perspective. That helps my understanding.

I keep questions simple so answers are less likely to get convoluted - convolution most often occurs when folk fail to stay on topic, where they wander off into other topics.

Taking things with a grain of salt - what you're suggesting you'd like others to do - usually means dealing with matters lightly.

Not my style.

Thats like we all have a friend that think the spiritual gifts are silly or not true but, thats because where they are in the lesson plans of life.. but, you will see at times they still practise basic discernment etc.. without being aware thats what they are doing..

Those are my views..
