Mediumship rules

Psychic master — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 20:13:00 +0000

There are three chief and most essential factors to be considered :
(1) Your mental and physical health must be quite up to the standard. If you are depleted, exhausted, or “run down” physically, if you are suffering from any disease, or if, on the other hand, you are full of fear, apprehension and doubts, or if anger and similar thoughts rage in your soul, you may anticipate a difficult time in your development and unpleasant experiences throughout that slow process.

(2) You should be careful to keep your self consciousness active and alert when entering trance. Do not give yourself up completely or allow the mind to become a blank at first. Give yourself up in every other way but this. You must always keep in the background of your mind the thought: “I am I … I am so-and-so (your name) … I will remain in my body. … I am strength and power … I will not be influenced against my will by forces other than good. … I can always return to myself when I want to.”
These and similar suggestions you must give to yourself, and hold them in your mind as a central point of force while entering trance, even when allowing yourself to become passive in every other way. If you do this, you will avoid a great deal of difficulty and danger.

(3) If you can in any way assure yourself that you have a band of spirits or controls “on the other side” who are ready and willing to help you, this would mean much. A good medium or clairvoyant could probably tell you whether this is the case, and the nature of the intelligences who are trying to influence and act upon you.

If these are described as evil, you had best postpone your development until this condition changes. If, on the contrary, they are described as good and helpful, you may proceed, subject to the above precautions and advice.

Self development

It may be, however, that you do not care to develop your sensitiveness in this direction. You wish only to develop it for your own progress, and not for the purpose of becoming a healer at all. In that case you must follow a slightly different method of development though all the exercises we have described will be found helpful and advantageous.
If you desire to cultivate your own sensitiveness, the following exercises will be found very useful in this connection ;
1. Try to analyse your own emotions when in the presence of (a) a large company of people, and (b) a small gathering. You will probably find that your impressions are very different, and that a large crowd will give you the impression of being more scattered in mind than a small one. In other words, you will begin to sense or feel the “mind of the crowd.” It is well known that such a thing exists, for crowds will often do things and perform actions which no individual in it would perform alone. If you can sense this mind of the crowd, your sensitiveness is progressing favourably and rapidly.

2, Stand before a mirror. See whether or not you are enabled to perceive any influence coming from your reflected image in the mirror. Many sensitive persons can do this, and the more sensitive you are, the more will you feel this. You will sense a magnetic fluid, coming from the reflected form in the mirror.
3. If you are in the habit of sleeping with any one regularly, endeavour to analyse the impressions you receive from the aura emanating from the body of the person with whom you may be sleeping. See whether this is positive or negative. Positive aura is slightly warm, negative aura is somewhat cold.
4. Hold your right hand above a mirror ; then the left hand. Try to feel whether one hand feels cooler than the other; or whether both are of equal temperature. The hand which is warmest is on the more positive side of the body,
5. Close your eyes, and have some one make magnetic passes over your head and shoulders. Try to tell whether those passes are being made in an upward or downward direction. Downward passes are positive or sleeping passes; upward passes are negative or waking passes.
6. Procure several metals, such as copper, iron, tin, zinc, etc. Place your hands over each in turn, and ascertain the different impressions you get from each one. Then wrap them in separate pieces of paper (making all alike in appearance) and see whether you can always tell the correct metal from feeling the paper. Then place your open hand over the paper, without touching it. Next remove your hand gradually further and further away, until you are some distance from the metal. After a time, you should be enabled to do all this from a considerable distance. It is only an extension of this power which enables “dowsers” or metal and water-finders to locate the whereabouts of metal and water under the ground, by walking over the spot, above ground, with hands outstretched, or with a divining or dowsing rod held in their hands.
7. Always have flowers in your sleeping room. They are a good influence. Analyse the difference between your impressions when the flowers are removed; and when they are in the room.

Your power

The mind should be exercised in all healthy channels.
Do not “introspect” or reflect too much on your own inner, mental conditions. You must learn to live outside your head, so to speak, in the outer world. Do not constantly wonder what is going on within your own brain. If you do, you will surely lead yourself into difficulties later on. In short, you should lead a healthy, active life, and, between those times when you experience phenomena, you should think about them, as applied to yourself, as little as possible.

If you desire to obtain certain manifestations, it is not advisable to sit for them or try and obtain them for longer than twenty (20) minutes to half an hour each day. At first five or ten minutes would suffice, and this time can gradually be lengthened as you progress. This is especially important; and the neglect of this rule is one of the great reasons for the dangers which mediums experience later on in their development. Suppose, for example, that some one appeared to you and gave you certain advice as to your course of action. It would certainly be unwise for you to follow this advice in every ease, without inquiring whether or not it would be just and sensible, and without using your own judgment when the advice was given.

Even supposing that the person who appeared to you were really the spirit it claimed to he, there is always the possibility that this spirit may be mistaken, and the further possibility that some malicious and lying spirit was coming to you, pretending to give advice, while in reality it was only leading you astray. There is this further possibility that the figure you saw was not really a spirit at all, but merely the product of your own subconscious imagination. Often this is the case, and yet the figure has given true and sound advice I All that we are stating now is that the judgment of the individual who receives such messages, or advice, must always be exercised upon the message received. If you do not cultivate this habit, you will find that messages often become more and more insistent, when they are not followed, and I will sometimes give untrue or lying information.

They may even urge you to do certain things which are against your own welfare. All this can only be settled by the exercise of right judgment, and by asking the advice of those who know how much to believe in these messages.
It is for this reason that the counsel and help of one who has had long training and experience in this subject is most desirable, during these early stages of mediumship.
