The controversy within the spiritual realm revolving around psychics and mediums has been progressing on for the past centuries. Skepticism caused rising debates over the dilemma of the fact that various individuals have these capacities. The truth behind every psychic/medium is that psychics are not mediums but mediums are psychics. A medium is where a person can convey messages of love, support, and healing along with the capacity to vision towards the sitter (the person receiving the reading) by connecting with them. They appear not to get involved with predictions or an individual’s life aspects. They only communicate with the deceased to offer closure towards people who wish to contact passed loved ones. A psychic connects within their intuition, spirit guides, higher self, the universe, or even angels. A few psychics may use many types of divination including tarot cards, runes, dice, charms, shells, crystals, oracle cards, etc. Psychics have the competence to perceive information from one’s past, present, and the future to offer guidance, insight, and a clear viewpoint. There isn’t any scientific proof or religion-based information about the truth of psychics doesn’t mean that psychics and mediums don’t possess these gifts because anyone can have psychic abilities and can understand one’s belief system.
Every human being has a spirit and soul to connect with spirituality, with capacities of possessing psychic gifts. If we were to embrace that part of ourselves more, there would be more individuals who have psychic abilities. “The bottom line is that everyone has psychic potential of one form or another. This is because everyone is, in essence, a spirit being, or a soul. Therefore, just as anyone with a physical body will have physical senses, so too, anyone with a spirit or a soul will have psychic abilities. The trick is to discover what abilities you possess in abundance,” writes James Mullins in Psychic: Understand and Develop Psychic Abilities for a Better Life (7). This indicates everyone has the skills to channel with the supernatural because humans have adapted to their physical side. There is a spiritual side that people can be accustomed to while that is how psychics/mediums can do so. As humans gradually learn how to walk, communicate, think, read, write, etc. for over generations, it’s possible to achieve the same with our spiritual selves. The human senses are designed for individuals to learn how to use, for it is the same as using psychic abilities. Not every individual can see, hear, or talk just as mediums cannot anticipate future events but have some psychic abilities. This explains further in debt that any person has these abilities to become a psychic/medium by nature.
The belief system has a sufficient impact on our well beings and may prevent us from having the possibilities that psychics and mediums obtain. In our beliefs, it is the most powerful skill that helps make dreams come true. Within this world, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished, for all it takes is self-belief. The reason for this is because it is said that “the mind is the most powerful weapon” as Michael Bonnell stated in The Most Powerful Weapon To Have In Life article. With the belief system, humans became very limited because of negative affirmations regarding false accusations from society. It has been accustomed to society to continue disbelieving human capabilities in their daily lives. If it were to turn around and individuals manifest positive affirmations, they could do and become anything they desire. To strengthen our minds, it would require one to overcome their comfort zone and to take a risk. The mind needs to be controlled and reprogrammed to eliminate negativity and false information blocking the individual’s true potential.
There aren't any valid scientific facts proving that mediums or psychics have these abilities. In the article, ‘That Proves My Point’: How Mediums Reconstrue Disconfirmation in Medium-Sitter Interactions, The focus in this study has been on how a lack of confirmation, particularly following knowledge implicative questions, is addressed by mediums. This study has argued that rather than mere ‘damage limitation’, mediums can be found to engage in actively reworking apparent disconfirmation to reposition it in epistemologically enhancing ways. Three different strategies used by mediums facing a lack of sitter confirmation of implied knowledge were identified in these data, namely implying the medium’s unique access to future events, construing the discrepancy as arising from a mishearing of the actual voice of the deceased, and positioning the discrepancy as usefully identifying information that the sitter needs to find out about, stated by Anette Einan Enoksen and Paul Dickerson (401). They determine that the lack of validation makes mediums rely on and make readings problematic. As they provided more information over several readings, specifying that once the sitter does not verify the reader; the entire reading makes the medium anxious and implies to be imprecise. This forces the reader to have complications conveying the messages to the sitter and interpreting what is coming through clearly.
The misconception on psychic abilities is that the psychic or medium is inaccurate or fraudulent when using validation. Validation or confirmation with readers is essential that the sitter validates what the messages they are mentioning during a reading. The reader does not wish to give any false information. The lack of sitter confirmation will complicate the reader and provoke the medium/psychic to be uneasy. The sitter is, to be honest with the psychic/medium to build trust in this reading. When the trust is broken, it is complicated to convince or to even proceed with the reading with no insight of whom the reader is contacting and communicating to. Not all psychics or mediums need approval or validation, but most do so to make sure the reading is at least 80% accurate and related to the sitter. It does not mean that the psychic/medium is unreliable or any less than those who don’t require verification. This is simply to encourage those who genuinely want the most out of a reading rather than to work with skeptics that are not open towards the reading itself.
There may not be any scientific knowledge or religion-based facts about the truth of psychics, it doesn’t mean that psychics and mediums don’t possess psychic talents because everyone can have them and anyone can understand one’s belief system. It starts within, spiritually, to enhance these abilities and to work with the mind by changing thinking aspects. Eventually, the world will recognize the truth behind these contributions and no longer be frightened or skeptical towards humans that do own psychic capacities.
