Partakers Of San Diego Mediums

By David Stevens


These are individuals who act as a channel between the spiritual realm and the human world. The practice dates back into history having a popularity spike in the 19th century followed by its popularity downfall in the same century. As it is, science disputes claims of reaching out and talking to the dead, a phenomenon known as parapsychology. Several other critics also refute the practice of San Diego mediums as that involving only stage trickeries.

Research led by a psychology Britain based group meant to clear the air on the subject, concluded that the whole phenomenon of mediums was nonexistent. Contrary to these claims however, are scenarios where actual happenings with a spiritual manifestation are continually reported. Such are the scenarios where strange occurrences as unfamiliar voices come from the possessed subject.

The basic capability claimed by those who partake in such acts would include extracting valuable details from the dead and at the same time explaining details to the same through an established talk. Additionally they are endowed with the capability of acting as a vessel through which the dead in the form of a spirit uses to relay the needed details.

Through maneuvers applied by those inclined towards the practice, a direct mental connection or a direct physical connection can be established to the dead. A mental connection would simply require the practitioner to keenly listen to what is being said on the other side, while a physical connection would involve a firsthand experience with the entity through occurrences as objects being thrown around and etcetera. The acts incorporation in the media has also grown, being played in movies and other TV plays.

Evidently, from the biblical times of the old leader called Saul, and his invoking of the dead spirit of a prophet called Samuel, the practice has a rich history that tells of how it grew into time. At a period between 1920 and 1930, the numbers of those who believed and took part in this practice rose to their highest point.

However several of who claimed to possess such abilities were exposed as frauds, probably just using the claim to defraud the unknowing. A notable case is that of Colin Evans, an individual who purported that spiritual beings gave him an airlift, thereby being able to float in the air. Records of outcomes witnessed during such activities have been recorded and published. For instance one Dorreen Phillips wrote of such encounters in the year 1958.

Christianity stands against the practice clearly advising against it in its scriptures. A verse, Leviticus 19:31 states that mediumship and spiritualism should not be sought for whatever the case. To this date, it continuous to survive, with the incorporation of information technology where one in need of such services can simply get them online; some sites claim to offer genuine services from those conforming to such practices.

With the 21th century famous practitioners like Allison Dubois and Chip Coffey, the act which most view as a dark practice keeps trudging on as a long lived act. Similarly as the act lives on, so does the question as to whether the act is a genuine one. An over the time clash between science and the practice.
