🔒 Beyond Comprehension: Unlocking the Mysteries of Mediumship

Hey there, thanks for tuning in today. Your support as a listener and as a paying supporter means the world to me. Your contributions helped me to continue to explore the topics that matter to us both. Now, in today's episode, we're diving deep into the world of mediumship and actually, way beyond that, into reality itself. Are you ready to jump in this rabbit hole with me? Come on, let's get started Now.

Recently, I've been pondering mediumship and how it works. I've had conversations with Mark Anthony, who's a gifted medium and one of the greatest thinkers that I know, and I had an interview just yesterday with Julie Ryan, and Julie was firing questions at me. One of the questions she fired at me was how does mediumship work? Now, I've always been one to dissect things. I really want to understand their essence. But you know what? I'm wearing a t-shirt with a quote from John Lennon that says the more I see, the less I know for sure, and that really resonates with me. So while I'm curious and I want to know what's going on, I also understand there's something that's beyond my comprehension, and just because I don't know how it works doesn't mean it doesn't work. I don't know how my cell phone works, I don't know how my car works. But they both work and I drive my car and I use my cell phone and they do great things. If you think about a few years ago, if we talked about the internet with someone and told them we're going to have this wireless technology that will allow us to communicate around the world, they would say that's impossible, that's crazy. So when it comes to mediumship, I've seen at work, I've seen the evidence, but I do also want to. So I know it works, but I want to kind of know how it works. So let's dive into that.

So reality, first of all, is much more expansive than we can comprehend. We have to accept the fact that our brains, our languages, have evolved to describe our immediate physical surroundings. We often neglect the unseen because the unseen is not really important when it comes to day-to-day survival. Our language can only describe what our intellects can understand, and vice versa. So things that are beyond our language, beyond our intellect, we sometimes dismiss as impossible. Now, this intellect that we have is great. This intellect that resides in our ego, that serves us, is wonderful.

But they can overshadow our subconscious, our unconscious, our obfuscated mind, if you want to call it that, or our intuition. The intuition is actually the greater part of us. That's a part of us that connects us to this greater reality, but it's filled with symbols rather than words, and we can't really bring those symbols directly into our everyday experience. Now, when we talk about the subconscious sub-meaning under, we think of it as less than our conscious mind, we think it as hidden or underneath. It's actually above our conscious mind. Our conscious mind needs to reach up to our subconscious, to our intuition that connects us to that greater reality that we can't perceive directly. So it's like an iceberg. Our subconscious is the vast hidden part. It's actually probably the most important part of us. It's not necessarily important for our everyday survival, which is why it's kind of hidden, the way that we have evolved, but it's actually the most important when it comes to understanding deeper truths.

Religions often use myths and allegories to express these truths, and the reason why they do is because they're again, they're beyond our language, they're beyond our intellect, they're not beneath them, and so we often in today's world, we dismiss myths, we dismiss allegories as being less than true, when actually, more than true, they're telling us about a transcendent reality, and so we might say something like well, this myth of the way the world was created, where a god laid down on the ground and had a dream, and a tree grabbed his head, or a god spit and created the rainforest, we might say, well, that's beneath the truth, that's false, it's not true. What's actually expressing, I believe, a greater truth, and what's really fascinating to me is, when you study myths and allegories from around the world, how they all tie together, because they are expressing deeper truths that people have gotten access to not through their intellect, but through their intuition, through that unconscious part of themselves. Now, our brains are actually transceivers and they do tap into the symbolic realm. They transmit and they receive from the symbolic realm, which is translated into language, into things that we can understand. Coming back to mediums, mediums can access this and translate it into our everyday language, at least for the most part. Now, when people have near-death experiences, for example, I believe they go to this symbolic realm and when they come back they'll say I can't express this to you in language that you can understand. It's kind of like sometimes, when we have dreams, that our dreams are symbolic also, and often when we wake up from a dream, we'll say I can't really remember because we're kind of translating it back into the language that we understand. So mediums can actually reach this state. They can go into this realm, they can connect with spirit and they come back to us and they say they put it into language that we can understand. Now, this is why sometimes it might not make a lot of sense to us, because it's beyond us.

So let me give you a real quick example. There's a book called Flatland which explores the two-dimensional universe, and the reason it explores the two-dimensional universe is we cannot go beyond our dimensions when it comes to perception, and the book illustrates this very well. These two-dimensional creatures, when you're talking them from a three-dimensional world and you say things like look up, they say oh, you mean north. And you say no, I mean look up, like above your head, and they'll say there's no up. They don't understand the concept of up. So we, being in a three-dimensional world, when it comes to things that are beyond our world, we can't understand it, just like the characters in Flatland can't understand it.

So let me give you another example that might help. If you think of a cylinder, a cylinder is a three-dimensional object that's circular and then it's long and it's a circle at each end, if you want to think of it that way, when we take that cylinder and we project a light onto it and we look at the shadow on the wall, if we project from the side of the cylinder, it's going to look like a rectangle. And so someone living in that two-dimensional wall looking at the shadow is going to say, ah, clearly this is a rectangle, whereas if we project a light from the end of it and project that onto the wall, it's going to look like a circle. So someone looking at that is going to say, ah, clearly this is a circle. And if you said that these two things are actually the same thing, from that higher level people that are only going to perceive the flat part of it, are only perceived in projections we're going to say these are two contradictory things. They can't both be true. This is either a circle or it's a rectangle. It can't be both. And we can see again from our three-dimensional view that it actually is both. So again, mediums can tap into this hidden realm, people that have NDEs can tap into this hidden realm and we can understand from our intuition, not necessarily from our intellect, what is true and what is right. So someone would say, well, now there's no objective truth because we can't understand what's beyond this realm, the realm where we're in, but we can use our intellect to tap into it and to decide what we think makes sense. We can look at these, for example, these religious myths or allegories, and see how they resonate with us, see how they resonate with our hearts and what we do know in reality, and we can make some pretty well-informed decisions. So, in conclusion, I want to say that mediumship, I think, is a fascinating subject that extends beyond our understanding. So, even though I've sat down with Mark and we've explored it, and I sat down with Julian, we explore it One of the things that Julian and I said yesterday is some things we just have to kind of accept on faith.

I think that we have to accept the myths and allegories to avoid the traps of cynicism and fundamentalism, which are two traps that we can fall into in this two-dimensional world, if you like. The people that are cynics, that say there's no transcendent reality, are looking at just the projections and saying this is all there is. The people who are fundamentalists, who might believe there's something beyond, might look at different projections and say, well, it's this way or the other way, and one of them must be right and the other ones must be wrong. I'm a Christian, you're a Muslim, you say this, I say this one of us must be wrong. I know that I'm right. That's fundamentalism.

We have to learn to trust our hearts and to enter in our intuitions, and we need to learn to accept that two things can be true simultaneously and that there is a greater reality beyond what we can understand. With these great intellects, these great egos that we develop, that serve us really well, but they're not the be all and end all. In fact, they are just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, when you turn the intellect and the subconscious I actually say turn it upside down the subconscious is higher than the intellect, it's bigger and it's what connects us to the greater reality.
