00:00:00.783 --> 00:00:06.407
Hey everybody, this is Brian, back with another episode of Grief to Growth, and today I've got with me Andrej Georgevich.
00:00:06.407 --> 00:00:08.848
Andrej is a resident of Cardiff.
00:00:08.848 --> 00:00:16.829
He has an esteemed spiritualist medium, he's a healer, he's a trans medium and he's a tutor at Arthur Finley College.
00:00:16.829 --> 00:00:19.352
And if someone that goes over your head, don't worry.
00:00:19.352 --> 00:00:23.728
We're going to talk about what Arthur Finley College is, what trans mediumship is and all that stuff.
00:00:23.728 --> 00:00:26.969
For several years Andrej has walked a spiritual journey.
00:00:26.969 --> 00:00:32.551
He's dedicated himself to not only understanding but living the spiritual principles that he's on earth.
00:00:32.551 --> 00:00:33.720
He's again.
00:00:33.720 --> 00:00:37.430
He teaches at Arthur Finley College, which is a world famous college for medium ship.
00:00:37.430 --> 00:00:43.362
He also works with people one-on-one, giving readings, doing trans mediumship and doing healings.
00:00:43.362 --> 00:00:47.256
He serves a spiritualist church and we'll talk about the spiritual church.
00:00:47.256 --> 00:00:51.448
Spiritual church is, and it does, with something that's called evidence based mediumship.
00:00:51.448 --> 00:00:58.264
He helps to nurture individuals to tap into their own potential and teaches people to be mediums as well.
00:00:58.264 --> 00:01:02.609
So with that, I want to introduce to the grief to growth Andrej Georgevich.
00:01:04.084 --> 00:01:05.909
Thank you, brian, good to be here.
00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:08.608
Yeah, it's really a pleasure to have you here today.
00:01:08.608 --> 00:01:09.906
It was same before we got started.
00:01:09.906 --> 00:01:15.570
We have a mutual friend who speaks very, very highly of you and said you've got to get Andrej on your program.
00:01:15.570 --> 00:01:16.739
So here you are.
00:01:16.739 --> 00:01:18.144
I'm excited to have you here today.
00:01:18.144 --> 00:01:24.545
I always, when I talk to people that are in mediumship, I'm always curious how did you get started on this path?
00:01:24.545 --> 00:01:28.667
It's not a normal path, it's not a very typical path that people do as a living.
00:01:28.667 --> 00:01:31.424
So how did you get started in mediumship?
00:01:35.203 --> 00:01:41.933
Well, that's a great story because my background was nothing to do with mediumship.
00:01:41.933 --> 00:01:46.746
I wasn't one of these people that saw spirit.
00:01:46.746 --> 00:01:54.228
As a child, I knew nothing about mediumship, nothing about the spirit world.
00:01:54.228 --> 00:01:57.787
I owned a steel company.
00:01:57.787 --> 00:02:08.691
I was managing director of a steel company, so I was very much following a pathway of industry.
00:02:08.691 --> 00:02:38.451
And, obviously, being managing director, I had the perks of owning the company and I had private medical healthcare and I would take clients out for lunch, we'd play tennis, play squash, and one day I damaged my cartilage in my knee and a friend of mine that night said oh, tomorrow Fred the Heel is coming around.
00:02:38.451 --> 00:02:42.447
He can have a look at your knee for you.
00:02:42.447 --> 00:02:45.883
I said, don't be stupid.
00:02:45.883 --> 00:02:55.492
I said I have private medical healthcare and I will go to Boopa or whenever it was, I can't remember.
00:02:55.492 --> 00:03:00.109
Okay, well, I never went to Boopa.
00:03:00.109 --> 00:03:01.985
My knee was still bad.
00:03:02.099 --> 00:03:18.965
And a week later my friend said oh, friends coming around in this afternoon and that morning I'd gone to the opticians to get my first pair of bifocal glasses, you know, the ones where you look down to read.
00:03:18.965 --> 00:03:21.704
So I said okay.
00:03:21.704 --> 00:03:24.507
I said I'm going to sort this Fred out.
00:03:24.507 --> 00:03:32.204
I've got enough of this Fred guy, so I get my new glasses, I go back to my friend's house I say, okay, I got some money.
00:03:32.204 --> 00:03:33.045
How much does he want?
00:03:33.045 --> 00:03:34.669
No, it's free.
00:03:34.669 --> 00:03:37.418
No, I'm in business, I'm totally stupid.
00:03:37.437 --> 00:03:37.717
Nothing's free.
00:03:37.717 --> 00:03:38.340
There must be a catch.
00:03:38.340 --> 00:03:43.912
He said you know, do I have to sign up for some cult?
00:03:43.912 --> 00:03:45.525
No, it's free.
00:03:45.525 --> 00:03:47.965
I said okay, I'm going to sort this guy out.
00:03:47.965 --> 00:03:54.450
So I walked into the room and I sat down in front of him.
00:03:54.450 --> 00:03:57.247
I put my knee out in front of him.
00:03:57.247 --> 00:04:06.408
I was challenging him, I folded my arms tight and I glared at him and I can remember these words.
00:04:06.408 --> 00:04:09.829
I said I've been told you can fix my knee.
00:04:09.829 --> 00:04:12.604
I mean, I thought this guy was a joke.
00:04:12.604 --> 00:04:16.807
And he said okay.
00:04:16.807 --> 00:04:27.432
And he put his hands either side of my knee and as I looked down I could see what looked like smoke coming out of my knee.
00:04:27.432 --> 00:04:30.346
That's the only way I could describe it, brian.
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:38.913
And afterwards I went back to the opticians to say I've had these new glasses this morning.
00:04:38.913 --> 00:04:42.887
And the reading bit when I looked down, I'm starting to see things.
00:04:42.887 --> 00:04:44.636
Can you change your prescription?
00:04:44.636 --> 00:04:47.745
They said well, tabry, sorry sir, we'll change it for you now.
00:04:47.745 --> 00:04:54.370
Well, they checked the prescription and they realized there's nothing wrong with the prescription.
00:04:54.370 --> 00:05:01.252
And this is where the weird thing started.
00:05:01.252 --> 00:05:06.589
Half of me is panicking because I'm starting to see things.
00:05:06.589 --> 00:05:11.608
The other half of me felt completely normal about seeing things.
00:05:11.608 --> 00:05:16.648
It's a weird thing for that to happen at the same time.
00:05:19.060 --> 00:05:30.134
So I rushed back and luckily Fred was still there and I walked into the room and he looked behind me and he started talking to somebody.
00:05:30.134 --> 00:05:32.526
Well, I turned around and nobody there.
00:05:32.526 --> 00:05:34.230
I thought this guy's nuts.
00:05:34.230 --> 00:05:35.444
Who's he talking to?
00:05:35.444 --> 00:05:37.221
Remember?
00:05:37.221 --> 00:05:41.009
I knew nothing about the spirit world, nothing about he.
00:05:43.220 --> 00:05:50.725
And Fred said look, I've just been told to tell you go to a spiritualist church, there's a message waiting for you.
00:05:50.725 --> 00:05:53.463
I said what church?
00:05:53.463 --> 00:05:54.927
When, how, who, where?
00:05:54.927 --> 00:05:57.906
And he said I've been told to tell you.
00:05:57.906 --> 00:06:00.391
You choose at random, don't tell anybody.
00:06:00.391 --> 00:06:04.129
And I didn't even know what a spiritualist church was.
00:06:04.129 --> 00:06:13.745
I looked up spiritualist churches, found a church, didn't tell anybody I was going, no connection to Fred.
00:06:14.420 --> 00:06:37.124
I went along Sunday six o'clock, opened the doors, a full congregation of people and three ladies at the front, and as soon as I opened the door, the middle lady turned around and pointed at me and she said we've been waiting for you, we have a message for you.
00:06:37.124 --> 00:06:45.502
Well, I'm starting to shake in my boots now because there's no connection between Fred and this woman, none whatsoever.
00:06:45.502 --> 00:06:48.887
And I could have run or go in.
00:06:48.887 --> 00:06:55.812
So I went in and basically, the message was this is a pathway that is open to you.
00:06:55.812 --> 00:06:58.788
If you wanted to walk it, do you want to walk it?
00:06:58.788 --> 00:07:04.451
And I virtually became clairvoyant overnight with that one touch from Fred.
00:07:04.451 --> 00:07:06.685
Well, it wasn't Fred, it was the spirit world.
00:07:07.086 --> 00:07:07.387
Wow.
00:07:10.884 --> 00:07:19.839
But when I look back I think the spirit world was probably knocking on my door for quite some time and I wasn't listening.
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:22.086
I didn't even know there was a spirit world.
00:07:22.086 --> 00:07:25.487
So they were making things more and more and more dramatic.
00:07:25.487 --> 00:07:37.788
But that becoming clairvoyant and someone telling, repeating what Fred had said with no connection, more or less sold me the pathway.
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.108
So how were they knocking on your door before that?
00:07:42.021 --> 00:07:44.968
Well, again, I didn't know at the time.
00:07:44.968 --> 00:07:47.785
Right, I didn't know at the time.
00:07:47.785 --> 00:07:56.370
But looking back, I was in business and I was good at what I did.
00:07:56.370 --> 00:08:15.666
When I was interviewing staff, for instance, I had a board of directors with me and they would see these of all the candidates, and people would walk in and I would say he's the one and they'd say, well, how would you know?
00:08:15.666 --> 00:08:16.423
Are you going to receive?
00:08:16.423 --> 00:08:21.622
I don't know, I don't need to receive Now.
00:08:21.622 --> 00:08:26.771
I just thought I was a clever businessman making clever business decisions.
00:08:26.771 --> 00:08:29.045
That's what I thought at the time.
00:08:29.045 --> 00:08:30.884
How can it be any different?
00:08:30.884 --> 00:08:34.264
But in reality, I know I was.
00:08:34.264 --> 00:08:39.109
I was being inspired, I was exercising my psychic senses.
00:08:39.109 --> 00:08:42.629
I didn't even know I had Wow.
00:08:43.059 --> 00:08:43.842
That's fascinating.
00:08:43.842 --> 00:08:45.484
So how about your knee?
00:08:45.484 --> 00:08:47.063
Was your knee healed at the time?
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:48.503
My knee's still bad.
00:08:48.503 --> 00:08:51.301
Oh, wow Again.
00:08:51.301 --> 00:09:03.890
And this is perhaps something good about healing we get drawn to healers for maybe a problem that we think that we want to have cured.
00:09:03.890 --> 00:09:17.216
Maybe the reason is something else that needs to be addressed, and in my case it was certainly to feel the touch of the spirit world, to awaken something within me.
00:09:18.219 --> 00:09:26.125
That is fascinating Because you know, I know, people sometimes go to healers and we say well, the healing didn't work, my knee is still bad or my elbow is still bad.
00:09:28.302 --> 00:09:30.909
It was so fixated on the physical symptoms.
00:09:30.909 --> 00:09:32.765
I've got a bad elbow.
00:09:32.765 --> 00:09:34.322
I'm going for healing.
00:09:34.322 --> 00:09:36.408
Maybe they will.
00:09:36.408 --> 00:09:40.947
The healing will work, but maybe not in the way that you think it's going to work.
00:09:41.389 --> 00:09:42.912
Interesting, interesting.
00:09:42.912 --> 00:09:52.490
So, with the clairvoyance, when did you realize that this is something that you wanted to do, to teach and to go into it as fully as you have?
00:09:53.662 --> 00:09:59.720
Well, again, everything is about reflection and looking back.
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:08.671
I want to go back to my teenage years and I was in school and I always wanted to be a teacher.
00:10:08.671 --> 00:10:12.869
I just had this feeling I wanted to teach.
00:10:12.869 --> 00:10:14.364
That's what I wanted to do.
00:10:14.364 --> 00:10:33.169
And you know, in the UK we have our exams I think it was 16, well, all levels to go to teacher training college and I didn't do any work because I knew I was going to teach.
00:10:33.169 --> 00:10:37.628
I didn't have to sit for my exams because I knew I was going to teach.
00:10:37.628 --> 00:10:43.009
So, anyway, we all sat our exams that summer.
00:10:43.009 --> 00:10:47.368
Of course, I failed them all because I hadn't done any work.
00:10:48.779 --> 00:10:55.068
All my friends went to teacher training college and my father said to me son, you're going to get a job.
00:10:55.068 --> 00:11:02.413
And I thought, and again I was in complete confused.
00:11:02.413 --> 00:11:13.825
Confused because I had this I really wanted to teach and I couldn't understand why I wasn't going to college at 17 with all my friends to learn to be a teacher.
00:11:13.825 --> 00:11:22.692
But it wasn't until later on, very later on, did I realize it was a different type of teaching.
00:11:22.692 --> 00:11:27.201
So it's something that's always been within me.
00:11:27.201 --> 00:12:13.335
I teach in an altered state, I teach in a trance state and basically I believe, or I know, that we are all part of everything, that is, we are a universal consciousness being expressed through a physical body, and we can tap into any aspect of universal consciousness whatever resonates with us, and I guess I've always tapped into an aspect of teaching, and so that's something that completely resonates with you.
00:12:13.335 --> 00:12:21.957
You know, it's like somebody that if they play a sport that they really, really love, they're tapping into their inner joy of what they want to do.
00:12:24.328 --> 00:12:25.331
I'm thinking so.
00:12:25.331 --> 00:12:28.398
You're a successful business owner, you go and you have this experience.
00:12:28.398 --> 00:12:31.894
And I think it's interesting also that they said that this path has opened you.
00:12:31.894 --> 00:12:33.607
So it wasn't like it was forced on you.
00:12:33.607 --> 00:12:35.451
It doesn't sound like it was your choice.
00:12:35.451 --> 00:12:43.017
And so what did the people around you think when you said I'm going to make this transition into this world?
00:12:44.446 --> 00:13:00.894
Well, again, it's all about starting to undo our human conditioning, because we put on a persona to the world of what we want people to see.
00:13:00.894 --> 00:13:07.691
So if I was a businessman, I put on this persona of what I think a businessman should be like.
00:13:07.691 --> 00:13:15.339
But now this other part of me is unfolding and initially it was quite difficult.
00:13:15.339 --> 00:13:17.566
The hardest part was telling my parents.
00:13:17.566 --> 00:13:37.467
You know, I was in my late 30s and my father he was from Serbia, or it was Yugoslavia in his day, but now it's Serbia, and they never talked about spirituality, they'd never talked about the spirit world.
00:13:37.467 --> 00:13:38.330
My father was a.
00:13:38.330 --> 00:13:44.971
He worked in a factory all his life, you know, and he came from a small village in Serbia.
00:13:44.971 --> 00:13:46.735
So I said look, dad.
00:13:46.735 --> 00:13:48.408
I said I need to tell you something.
00:13:48.408 --> 00:13:57.717
You know, I wanted my parents to know because I was starting to develop and work a little bit and I wanted them to know for me.
00:13:57.717 --> 00:14:07.898
So I said, dad, I need to tell you that I'm following this pathway of healing, which just happened all of a sudden.
00:14:07.898 --> 00:14:12.638
And my dad looked at me and he said oh, that makes sense.
00:14:12.638 --> 00:14:13.782
So what do you mean?
00:14:13.782 --> 00:14:17.772
He said Well, your grandmother was the healer for the village.
00:14:17.772 --> 00:14:21.447
Oh, wow, auntie was the seer they would go to.
00:14:21.447 --> 00:14:25.606
Your auntie went to plant the crops and they would go to your grandmother when they were ill.
00:14:25.606 --> 00:14:28.294
No, he never told me that in 30 years.
00:14:28.294 --> 00:14:29.859
Wow, wow.
00:14:30.682 --> 00:14:33.326
So that was my first step telling my parents.
00:14:33.326 --> 00:14:38.474
And then I didn't actually tell anybody.
00:14:38.474 --> 00:14:53.008
I just ran my business but also followed this pathway Evening and weekends, and so gradually more and more people started to find out about it.
00:14:53.008 --> 00:15:02.590
But because I was the boss, I don't think they didn't challenge me.
00:15:02.590 --> 00:15:13.075
And it got to a stage where I had to make a huge decision Because it was taken up so much of my time and running the business I couldn't do both together.
00:15:13.075 --> 00:15:21.734
And so I did, decided to give up the business and to follow this pathway full time.
00:15:21.734 --> 00:15:24.788
Wow, I wish I'd done it 20 years ago, wow.
00:15:25.571 --> 00:15:26.994
So how did the clairvoyance present?
00:15:26.994 --> 00:15:31.936
Because you mentioned clairvoyance, but you also mentioned healing, so sounds like the clairvoyance developed first.
00:15:31.936 --> 00:15:32.985
And what was that like?
00:15:32.985 --> 00:15:33.528
What were you?
00:15:33.528 --> 00:15:34.328
What were you seeing?
00:15:35.591 --> 00:15:41.207
Well, again, I have to say I am very, very lucky.
00:15:41.207 --> 00:15:43.993
Okay, I'm very lucky.
00:15:43.993 --> 00:15:52.572
The very first thing when something new happens to you, you want to find out what.
00:15:52.572 --> 00:15:53.894
What do I do?
00:15:53.894 --> 00:15:55.318
What's the next step?
00:15:55.318 --> 00:15:57.845
There's this thing.
00:15:57.845 --> 00:15:58.485
That's happened.
00:15:58.485 --> 00:16:00.109
What do I do?
00:16:00.109 --> 00:16:07.861
So you start asking people what you do meditate.
00:16:07.861 --> 00:16:13.312
I didn't even know what meditate was so okay.
00:16:13.312 --> 00:16:18.363
So I started to meditate, but what happened?
00:16:18.363 --> 00:16:19.547
This is again.
00:16:19.547 --> 00:16:20.489
This is crazy.
00:16:20.489 --> 00:16:35.037
When I closed my eyes to meditate, I got taken I can only describe it as taken to a place that resembled the world of Avatar.
00:16:35.037 --> 00:16:36.038
You know Avatar, that film.
00:16:36.644 --> 00:16:39.089
Yes, absolutely yeah.
00:16:39.109 --> 00:16:43.517
I first day close my eyes and I was in Avatar land.
00:16:43.998 --> 00:16:44.317
Oh, wow.
00:16:45.304 --> 00:16:47.669
Yeah, and then these beings of light.
00:16:47.669 --> 00:16:49.313
I thought I can only describe them.
00:16:49.313 --> 00:17:14.455
They weren't human, but they were this intelligent beings of light showed me things and I sat for an hour to two hours a day for two years Because I was having these unbelievable experiences.
00:17:14.476 --> 00:17:15.137
Yeah.
00:17:16.525 --> 00:17:25.063
So after about a year of this, I started to talk to people Are you meditating?
00:17:25.063 --> 00:17:27.777
And they say, no, the boring.
00:17:27.777 --> 00:17:29.692
So I've been boring.
00:17:29.692 --> 00:17:36.770
Don't you get taken to this world, don't you have these intelligent beings show you stuff?
00:17:36.770 --> 00:17:40.057
They said what strange world, what stuff?
00:17:40.057 --> 00:17:48.421
Oh, so I realized I was having a totally different experience, absolutely.
00:17:48.421 --> 00:17:49.182
So.
00:17:49.182 --> 00:17:58.776
The clairvoyance initially helped me to process all the information that this intelligence was sharing with me.
00:17:58.776 --> 00:18:09.696
Then I had to decide how I was going to present that information.
00:18:09.696 --> 00:18:17.359
So, in other words, I had this information, I had this knowledge, I had this connection to this intelligence.
00:18:17.807 --> 00:18:18.030
Mm, hmm.
00:18:20.186 --> 00:18:20.907
Next stage.
00:18:20.907 --> 00:18:22.811
What do you do with it?
00:18:22.811 --> 00:18:25.457
How do you express that?
00:18:25.457 --> 00:18:29.795
So I started off by expressing it as healing.
00:18:29.795 --> 00:18:55.776
That's how I started, because healing is what's known as a passive mediumship, so in other words, you don't actively do anything in the healing session, you just become the healing intelligence that you're connecting to, and then the healing intelligence just manifests through you automatically.
00:18:55.776 --> 00:19:04.499
So healing was my very first way of expressing this spirituality.
00:19:06.548 --> 00:19:09.195
So were these beings giving you information?
00:19:09.195 --> 00:19:11.183
You were spending quite a bit of time with them.
00:19:11.183 --> 00:19:14.244
Were they telling you about the spirit world, about our world?
00:19:14.244 --> 00:19:16.244
What were they expressing to you?
00:19:19.308 --> 00:19:50.471
Well, again, it's very difficult for me to explain the process, and I'll try to explain the process, because how the information is transferred is you become part of that journey, you become part of what they are showing you and then you just know things.
00:19:53.066 --> 00:20:37.375
And so very early on they showed me a healing process of just actually learning to become the healing intelligence, and they were just showing various ways that they do it, by just accessing different aspects of universal consciousness, depending on what's required, and so they would show me it's like a universe where they could just go to any point in the universe and access any energetic point, whatever was required, and when they accessed an energetic point, they become that energy.
00:20:37.375 --> 00:20:40.107
So they wanted healing.
00:20:40.107 --> 00:20:48.869
They would just go to a point of healing in the universe, become the healing and it manifests, and so on and so on and so on.
00:20:48.869 --> 00:21:39.862
The other part of the journey for me is about personal growth, undoing all our human conditioning, because we are totally conditioned, we are totally working through a way that our parents have taught us, our religious teachers have taught us, our teachers in school have taught us, and maybe, maybe, that reality isn't exactly what we need, but part of my growth is undoing a lot of the things I've been told, certainly about mediumship.
00:21:39.882 --> 00:21:42.991
Yeah, yeah, I think that's true for all of us.
00:21:42.991 --> 00:21:44.126
You know we do.
00:21:44.126 --> 00:21:53.163
We have all been, as you said, programmed in a certain sense and we all put on these masks and we walk around and people expect us to wear the masks and we say we wouldn't take it off there.
00:21:53.163 --> 00:21:55.451
They're not usually very happy about it.
00:21:56.464 --> 00:22:06.450
Well, I'm the idea with a lot of couples who are having problems in their relationships and I you know from experience.
00:22:06.450 --> 00:22:10.077
I would say most of them have that problem.
00:22:10.077 --> 00:22:27.381
They've put on a mask of what they think their partner wants to see, which is great for a year or maybe two, but when they revert to being what they want to be and who they really are, their partner says what's happened?
00:22:27.381 --> 00:22:27.922
You changed.
00:22:27.922 --> 00:22:32.851
You're not the person I married, you're not the person I fell in love with, you're a totally different person.
00:22:32.851 --> 00:22:41.958
But they're only being themselves Right and, as you said, they're no longer presenting that mask that they presented at the beginning.
00:22:42.686 --> 00:22:43.529
Right, right.
00:22:43.529 --> 00:22:49.864
So I'm assuming that you initially did your healing and your mediumship probably in the Spiritualist Church?
00:22:49.864 --> 00:22:50.244
Is that correct?
00:22:51.190 --> 00:22:54.224
Yeah, I started 100% in the Spiritualist Church.
00:22:55.086 --> 00:23:00.633
And for people that don't know, could you tell them what the Spiritualist Church is, because it's not as big here as it is in the UK.
00:23:01.746 --> 00:23:29.457
Yeah, well, basically, a Spiritualist Church is basically like a church service, where there are prayers, there is some philosophy, but also spiritualists believe that there is no death and that when the physical body dies, you actually don't die.
00:23:30.325 --> 00:23:37.198
You move on as an individual energy, starting the next part of your journey.
00:23:37.198 --> 00:23:53.415
So in a Spiritualist Church, rather than people say, look, this is what you must believe, they try to prove through evidence that there is an afterlife.
00:23:53.415 --> 00:23:58.695
So in other words, they say, ok, I have your mum with me from the spirit world.
00:23:58.695 --> 00:24:03.734
And the people in the audience will say, ok, how do I know?
00:24:03.734 --> 00:24:04.316
It's my mum.
00:24:04.316 --> 00:24:16.394
And so they would have to provide some evidence to say, well, this lady's name is Joanna and she's got dark hair and she worked as a nurse.
00:24:16.394 --> 00:24:38.224
And by providing that factual evidence, it gives the people in the audience not only comfort that their loved ones are not dead, they are still alive, but also that they are never going to die.
00:24:38.224 --> 00:24:51.713
And maybe that's perhaps more important, because once you know, once you really know you can't die and there is no death, I think your life changes completely.
