Is anybody out there?
Another thing I do in my spare time is I run the local Spiritualists Group. Most people do not realise that Spiritualism is on the Governments list of recognised religions. We don’t play with ouija boards or hold seances in dark rooms, although there are groups who do those things too. We are a church group who meet regularly, we pray, we sing hymns, we have a reading and an address, all very much the same as any other church you may walk into. We have a crucifx on our altar, we have flowers and candles, we believe in God and Jesus. So what is different about our religion? Well, we also believe that there are greater forces working for our good, that once we leave our bodies here on earth we ascend to a higher plain and that we who are still here are able to communicate with the people who have passed on before us. During our meetings we always have a spiritualist medium in attendance who is able to pass on messages to those present. Sometimes these messages are from people who are known to the receiver, sometimes not, but the messages are always relevant and are uncannily accurate. Even non believers who come to ‘test’ the mediums ability are left astounded by the knowledge the medium has of their personal circumstances. They go away with a completely different attitude to us and what we do. Of course there are charlatans out there, people who are good at picking up on a persons mood or body language and through a series of clever questions can pretend to be getting very clear messages. If you go to a spiritualist church or meeting you will be able to judge for yourself how authentic the mediums are, but please don’t judge before you’ve been and had a look. You may not want to go, and that is fine, but we should never make a judgement about something we have not tried as our views are based on prejudice and bias, not personal experience, and that is very unfair.
Hi Mandy, I just enjoyed reading: ‘Is anybody out there?
Interesting stuff, it made me think!
Good luck on the masterclass course.

Thank you so much, Ray. I am so pleased you got something out of it.

Hi Mandy, reading this post made me think of my grandaughter shes 5 years old and knows things about people that have passed away that she could not possibly have overheard.

Hi Mandy,
I’ve been reading and enjoying your blog. Keep up the good work!
This is an interesting post, food for thought.
I love your header graphic, by the way.
Looking forward to reading more.
Cheers,

Mandy…great article. I am a firm “believer” as I have experienced first hand some of the things you talk about. I have learnt to “ask’ at any time that I am not sure about something and have always been guided towards the best outcome for my highest good.
Keep up the good work…I love articles like this!
Cheers

Hi Mandy
Thanks for the insight into what goes on in a spiritualist church. I’ve often wondered. I’m not really religeous but I might just go into our local spiritualist church now I know a bit more as I’m very curious about ‘The other side’.
My partner and I went to visit Rita Rogers before Princess Di made it impossible to get an appointment. A lot of what Rita said I felt was ‘sales speak’. So much so that at one point I refused to play the game she wanted to play by pretending to not know an answer. She wanted to know a persons name just by giving me their first initial. When nothing was forthcoming she said “We’ll come back to that later”. Later she gave a bit more than an initial. Later still, she suddenly shouted the name out herself. Yes, Rita was genuine. She went on to prove it further as well.
We have discovered many things in this world. I’m pretty convinced there are still forces we are yet to discover, or may never discover.
Thanks again for the insight.

Hi Tony,
Yes, there are lots of things out there that we don’t know everything about, or maybe even nothing about!
Enjoy the journey.

Hi Mandy –
Very thought provoking post. I stil don’t know what I think about this although I am open minded (“suggestible” my other half would claim). However, I did have three very odd experiences after my mum died. I know what I felt/saw/heard but as only one of them was during the day, the other two at night when I woke up suddenly to the experience, it’s possible it was just my imagination/waking dream. I don’t know. But I like to think not and that gives me comfort.
Cheers

Hi Susan,
I am glad you have found comfort by your experiences. I’m quite sure your mum is still looking after you in her own way.
Enjoy the journey.

Hi Mandy
Thanks for this post, on top of all the other great content.
In particular, the above post “Is anybody out there?” prompted me to write of a personal experience on this subject.
