What happens when we die? Can that question be answered? Mediumship is the act of providing a link between this world and the world of spirit. In the early days of mediumship, it was common to go to seances where the medium sat in a dark room and the spirits came through as either tappings on the table or a variety of other phenomena. Modern day mediumship doesn't need to rely on these methods and in fact can be done in a lighted room. The medium induces a trance state which is the doorway to the other dimension. In an altered state of consciousness, a medium can become a conduit for spirits. It takes a trained and experienced medium to allow only those spirits to pass which are for the higher spiritual good of the medium, the goals of the group, or the spirit involved.

I do not practice mediumship, so what I am writing is a third hand account, here. However, I did once sit in on a mediumship group that encountered an alien within the meeting.Initially, I thought this was contrary to the idea of mediumship. After all, I understood mediumship to be a practice used to contact the spirits of the dead on earth, not other planets. But, later, I realized that it is not a practice of anything, really. It is a doorway, just like prayer, like dreaming, like meditation. Anything can come through. In other practices, it may not involved the actual "invitation" for a spirit to take over the body, which is why mediumship is a very dangerous practice if taken on without proper training. The risk of possession is high without proper training. There are advantages that mediumship has over dreams and meditation in terms of helping "earthbound spirits." Earthbound spirits are typically thought of as entities that have died and have failed to make it to a higher dimension closer to their spirit home. Instead, they are unaware they have this choice and stay close to the etheric level generally being a nuisance to those on the physical. Or, they can be people who have committed spiritual crimes and do not want to move on to other levels. These too can hang around and do much damage to the souls located in the physical.

My view is a dimensional view. "Earthbound spirits" are not necessarily spirits bound on or near the earth plane who initially came from earth and are headed to spirit home. Instead, after thinking over the alien scenario, I have decided it is more likely that any entity can get "stuck" in their dimensional travels, whether it be living, dead, alien, human or animal. There are so many variables that could affect an entities travel: the pollution on earth, the pollution on the astral, the emotional or mental makeup of the entity, the belief systems of the entity... If one travels on the astral, one eventually comes across areas that can make us "stuck." I have noticed that the shadows of power lines cause magnetic disturbances on the astral plane and affect the ability to move dimensionally. Fear is another factor that disrupts travel. Fortunately, when one is out-of-body one has another vehicle to return to: the physical body. When your physical body is gone, it may be a whole another problem to move out of these "stuck" zones. That's why, I theorize, that mediumship is a valuble aide to those stuck between dimensions, because it provides the ability to "regroup and reground" on the physical and try the launch-off once again. Much like a person who fails to get the astral journey correct and forces themselves to awaken so they can try again.

Here, in mediumship, we start to see the inter-relationship of one dimension to another. How one dimension can hinder or help another. How all is connected but not necessarily "psychically pure." We start to see how the human body itself can be used as a bridge between dimensions. We start to understand the vastness of the universe. And we begin to know that we are all eternal, only appearing to die, but instead moving on into other dimensions of exploration.
