I wish, though, there will soon be many more young people becoming mediums and, especially, that they’ll undergo serious training. It’s very important to me personally that in the future we have mediums and clairvoyants who are trustworthy, who show people that a medium is nothing more than a normal human being, and that everyone has the talent to perceive so-called extrasensory activity. One person may have a fantastic ear for music or a beautiful singing voice. Likewise, there are many people who can perceive extrasensory activity. But a talent should be encouraged, and in-depth training is needed in order to become an expert in your field.
Once again, let me state very clearly that everything I write or say here is entirely my own personal perception. It may be different from other mediums, but I’ve made it my aim to only communicate to others what I’ve perceived and how I’ve perceived it. Only then can I stand 100 percent behind what’s written here.
Dear Reader, my opinions and perceptions might not be, in their details, so important to you. Who am I, after all, that I could claim to always speak the truth? It’s only important to me to stay faithful to my perception, and I hope that you, too, can always do this in your life. When my lines of text help you or show you something, and maybe even help you develop a bit further on your life journey – that makes me happy. But should you disagree with my words and thoughts – that makes me just as happy. For it shows me you don’t just believe me, but you’re thinking about what I write, and that’s my goal. I don’t want you to believe me; rather I’d like you to take your own path to discover whether or not something in my words is true. I’m glad when you find your own truth, even if it might be totally different from mine. I also don’t believe there’s only one truth or one way to reach a goal; rather each person has their own personal truth and personal goal and, therefore, also their own path. This way, everything we do and perceive from our heart is always the right thing for us. I thank you, however, for your trust in me and that during the next few hours or days, we’ll be spending some time together. Even if we don’t know each other personally, we’ll be together on a fascinating journey.
You might even get mad at me, but that’s exactly what makes our journey so exciting.
One more thought. Perhaps in this book, or in one you’ve already read or heard about, I’ll contradict myself. If that happens, don’t worry – try to find your own truth! The human being is always learning, and so am I.
What is a Medium? True and False Views about a Medium
The term “medium” has become fashionable in recent times, and many people know approximately what it means, but I often realize that many don’t know exactly how a medium works. So I would like to explain it right at the beginning of this book: A medium is a human being who can communicate with the spiritual world, that is, with the deceased, spiritual guides or angels. Put more simply, a medium is the mediator between the spiritual world and a client.
Many people think that a medium can predict the future, but this isn’t always true. Here and there events are shown to us that do happen in the future, but in most cases it’s just a coincidence. I work primarily as a medium and provide contact with the deceased for my clients.
However, I’ve also offered aura readings, as I call them. I analyze the aura of my clients and show them their problems and possible solutions in a kind of current life assessment. I can see clear tendencies for the future in the aura, but as I explained before, I only see tendencies. In my opinion, the future is not clearly predetermined but only certain major life events are. You can picture this like a train ride from Zurich to Basel. The route is set by the fixed train tracks. However, along the way we can get off, visit other towns and villages, and what we do or don’t do in those places is up to us. But at each moment our actions have a part in creating our future. This is how I can recognize tendencies in what might happen, because the client has acted in this way or another way in the past. When I plant corn, I reap corn.
Later on, I’ll address the topic of predicting the future a little more thoroughly. In this book, however, I want to focus on presenting mediumistic skills, in other words, the communication with the deceased and spiritual guides. I call myself a medium and I earn my livelihood as a mediumistic counselor. Sometimes I experience humorous things, for example, if someone asks me what I do professionally. I can still remember quite well a situation where I was invited over to a friend’s house and was chatting with a woman. She asked me about my job and I answered,“I’m a medium.” “Oh! Hmm, then you must be gay.” I looked at her quite shocked and wondered if I’d heard wrong. I asked, “Excuse me, what did you just say?” She replied, “I wondered if you were gay. I’ve heard that mediums are fat older women in menopause or are young gay men.” I could hardly stop laughing afterwards, but it seems that this is a view many people have about mediums.
It is probably true that many male mediums are homosexual, but not all are. A medium works mainly with emotions and has a great desire to support and help others. Those are more female characteristics, so it is understandable that among mediums you find quite a number of homosexual men, but nowhere near are all homosexual, and I’m not one of them. However, I’m also confronted with other prejudices. In England, for example, the majority of the mediums are a bit overweight. This became a disadvantage for me at an esoteric fair. After my presentation, a woman told me, “You can’t be a good medium! You are way too thin. Good mediums are heavier.” That was the funniest, but also the stupidest thing I’d ever heard. Because regardless of whether you are young, old, heavy, slim, homosexual, hetero, or whatever – all those labels are no indication that you’re a good medium.
Many people also believe that because I’m clairvoyant, I know everything, or that we mediums always see everything. This is not the case. During my training I learned how to turn my abilities“on and off” It would be way too tiring to constantly see everything. However, quite often I experience that people I meet outside of my consultations want proof that I’m really clairvoyant. Sometimes this is amusing, but sometimes it can also get on your nerves. When someone asks me about my work, many say, “Oh, do you see my grandmother? What’s she saying? Will I get married in the future? And when?“
I always ask what the person does for a living, and if someone says, for example, he’s a mason, I ask back, “Great, you’re in construction! Could you build a villa for me here really fast?”
Recently a younger woman came to my table and said, “Hello, I’ve heard that you are a clairvoyant! But crap like that doesn’t even exist!” I didn’t respond because I didn’t feel like I wanted to justify myself. But then came, “Can you prove to me that you aren’t crazy?” I looked at her and said, “No, I can’t do that because I believe I am crazy.” But still she wouldn’t leave me alone. My best friend Pablo gave me a look that said, “Hey, just end this pathetic scene and get her to leave us in peace.” So I continued, “Listen, I see you’re wearing black panties; you bought them at H&M, right? They cost 29.90 francs! It’s true, isn’t it?” She looked at me all surprised and said, “Yeah, incredible, it’s true.” I continued, “Okay, and you know what else is being shown to me? You should put on some fresh underwear; you should change it at least once a day.” She turned completely red and left our table, and we were able to enjoy our free evening. That was certainly not the kindest way of dealing with her, but even I can’t always be nice with people.
