When someone pops up astraly in your room,knowing you only by your online avatar,and you feel what's he doing to you,it's a solid proof that the dude is a legit astral projector.

I do not understand any of the above but what does any of it have to do with the title of the thread anyway?

On a different tack isn't every so-called magician (quote) legit? A magician is an entertainer so if she/he entertains then it's job done - legit. I don't know what a shaman is supposed to be able to do because my specialism is not that field.

As for an individual popping up "astraly" (sic) in another individual's room well I'm baffled. What is that supposed to mean. But in any case explanations should be presented in an appropriate forum and not in this one.

Maybe it's just me but doesn't anyone else want to hear from the member who set this thread running?

She appears to have left the building but it's she who really needs to read these interchanges.

I have to agree with Bobjob please keep to topic

Yet you ARE interacting with me..... I'd say I'm better rather than worse than you.

And to answer your question,it's about legitimacy.

What I think you mean is 'authentic', not bogus, not false.

If you claim you're a 'legit' dancer,you'll have to dance and show your skills,so others who know what a legit dancer is,can accept your claims.

A dancer is anyone who dances, the level of their skill being irrelevant to that description whereas someone supposedly a magician - but unable to do tricks - would be seen as bogus.

I'm not here to play with words.In fact as you can see,i can't even type properly.So,if your issue it's about me being out of topic,pm the mods to delete it.Ok?

It's not your typing but your words that are letting you down. I'm old and old-fashioned. I take the stance that postings in a thread about a particular topic should be relevant to that topic. Postings about other subjects should go in a relevant thread; it's a simple approach.

I made a last point in my earlier response that what you were writing about was nothing to do with mediumship. Do you disagree with that?

lomax was on topic and his input was appreciated by me and will be by prob others.
Shamans, (I was astounded by one that moved away, darn), would be under the
heading of psychics or mediums --they are, how would you say it,
''Open to the unseen or spiritual world."
They might be easier to find in the West, of the USA, as I am...
well, and other places in the US, for sure.

Whatever reason there may be, she's the one who might benefit most from learning. The more we deviate from what she was asking, the harder it will be for her to catch up.

And we regulars have likely 'done' this subject already.

It's an "Ask Me Anything" from a person who worked as a psychic and admitted to being a total fraud. Are all psychics like this? Is it not possible then for people to be visited by spirits of the dead?

I'm looking for all perspectives on this; I want to know what everyone thinks and what experiences they've had. Personally, I've wanted to know for a while how mediums and psychics who channel are sure the spirits they're working with aren't evil because I was deceived just last year by a terrible spirit pretending to be good that is currently on a mission to destroy me. I've been fighting it for a year now and I'm just curious as to how people working with spirits all the time don't find themselves in situations like this.

I'd like to believe they are genuine mediums. Although I don't know many, it's still a fascinating possibility.

I think people can sense spirits. I'm not psychic or a medium but I have sensed them myself.

With that said, I never received a reading that was very accurate. But some people have. So again, it just depends on who is reading you.

I do believe some psychic mediums are total frauds. To what degree are people exaggerating or outright lying about their abilities is difficult to know.

Sylvia Brown made a lot of mistakes with her predictions, but some people believe she was the only medium to predict the 2020 pandemic.

I guess this post isn't much help.

There are no such things as "genuine mediums". An individual is either a medium or is not.

That's almost right - some people can discern spirits.

Psychic reading can only be as good as the individual doing that reading.

Psychics -'psychic mediums' - read the individual psychically. How well they do that will vary for a number of reasons.

Mediums don't predict - psychics may try. Browne's so-called 2020 pandemic prediction was actually a section from her novel ie taken from a work of fiction.
