Medium is that real, coldreading or scam

A medium is someone who often claims to be able to talk to or contact deceased people. If you were to ask me personally, I do believe in this because I have experienced it myself. Ever since I was little I have been able to. But there are also those who very shrewdly use other tactics

Coldreading

Cold reading is a method of pretending to be a medium. It is an elaborate method that I cannot fully describe here in this article, but if you read some books about it you will be able to protect yourself from the influences of charlatans.

Unfortunately, there are plenty of charlatans who simply want to make money on other people's problems alone. Those people will naturally get their share at some point I believe. I for one am of the opinion that what you sow, you will also reap so I am just waiting 😉

Cold reading uses various tactics to get people to believe that the medium can really do something. The following tactics are used in a reading:

  1. A good set-upMedium
  2. The themes in which they work
  3. What elements are important
  4. The Win/Win Situation
  5. A good presentation

These 5 elements are used by the coldreader to achieve success during a reading. Usually the coldreader uses tarot cards or astrology. If you can apply these elements properly, you too can be at a psychic fair and give readings. I guarantee you more success than most "real" mediums and readers.

Good set up

A good set up is very important. Wherever you work with people, it is important to create an atmosphere that people believe you. After all, you do want it to work. You are friendly, open and you provide a certain ritual. Maybe you have old tarot cards that have a story attached to them, maybe you burn incense or play a meditative music. Anything to create an atmosphere of openness and trust in your gift as a medium.

The topics

The themes usually worked with are love, money, work orhealth. Those are the 4 main themes the coldreader works with. It's nice and abstract and you can go in any direction and that's important.

The elements

There are 38 elements that can be worked with and this article is too short to go into them. They are divided into 4 groups:

  • About the Character
  • About the facts and events
  • About predicting the future
  • About getting information

One example I don't want to keep from you is the Rainbow element. This one comes from the group character and is often used by "mediums. They then say something like:

'You can be a very thoughtful person who is very quick to help others, but there are times when you are very honest that you do recognize in yourself a selfish streak'

You see this sentence contains two elements of someone's personality that are opposite. Thus, you are never really completely wrong. Of course, you can also remodel this sentence with honest - dishonest or introvert - extrovert.

The Win/Win Situation

There are a number of tactics you can use to still be right as a coldreader even though you were dead wrong. One such tactic is the following. Imagine you say, "I'm getting a name through, Herman, do you know Herman?The person says he doesn't know Herman. What the coldreader can then do are 2 things.

  1. He continues to ask questions and stick to that name. Often I it so that someone suddenly does know a Herman and that instantly makes you as a coldreader even more credible
  2. Another tactic is to pretend to be confused. The "how-can-that-now attitude. If you then also state that you are not often wrong and that it must mean something anyway then the client also gets into that state and you have a win/win.

Should the client come up with it later, you get extra points!

A good presentation

Some things that are good to do is to maintain eye contact and tilt your head slightly. Subconsciously, that is a signal that you are open and interested in the other person. Those are important things to do.

Coldreading study

If you want to know more about this I can recommend Ian Rowland's book, The Full facts on Cold Reading. In it all the elements are described and you can work on it further.

Medium

Now I certainly believe that there are mediums who can make contact with deceased people, because I can do it myself. That is also the only reason why I believe in them. Especially after reading about these kinds of tricks, I know that there are a lot of people who abuse this. However, when you see through this kind of trick and know that it is a trick, then you can protect yourself. Otherwise, everyone is prey.

Spiritual Hypnosis

If you would like to delve more deeply into this then look into hypnosis training.

I was just about to read through Ian Rowland’s book again. What a coincidence. I think I bought the book once on Derren Brown’s recommendation. Derren is also amazing at using cold reading. In *Messiah*, among other shows, he demonstrates how mediums might use this technique. And Patrick Jane from *The Mentalist* also uses cold reading, of course :-).

Derren Brown is indeed a master of coldreading. He also assumes that because it exists and because there are so many scammers that there are no spiritually gifted people, which of course is nonsense. I think it's good that you raise this issue because there is so much abuse. Once you know cold reading techniques you can spot the scammers.

Not to mention, the illusionist "Dynamo. Very uncanny how accurately he 'reads' people, just like the aforementioned individuals like Derren Brown and Patrick Jane. It seems really crazy to be able to do that too....

The section on cold reading is very enlightening. I’ve been to a few trade shows and have indeed always heard these kinds of questions—ones that didn’t sit right with me—and I now realize that my gut feeling was correct! I also really enjoy the emails I receive; I’m learning more about the things I’m interested in—thank you!

Every medium will claim to be pure and good. Unfortunately, to date, it has never been proven to exist. So first find out carefully who exactly you are dealing with. Unfortunately, a seal of approval does not say much about the quality of the medium because a seal of approval from that world means nothing. One medium tests the other so what is the hallmark of that. In the almost all cases it is pure coldreading and when I read the site of yours I am sure it is. So many tactics in language that you use to pre-suppose to people something that doesn't exist that it's very much on top. So I caution people to definitely look closely at this and learn from it how to use language to influence.

Clairvoyance or spirituality doesn’t exist; these people just convince themselves that they can do it. No psychic has ever succeeded in solving a murder or a disappearance—not Gerrit Jan Hein, nor anyone else. Just look at Char with her letter tricks or Derek Oglivie using telekinesis on little kids.....He was thoroughly exposed by James Randi—the man who offers a million dollars to anyone who can prove they truly possess supernatural powers. Even the world-famous Uri Geller didn’t dare take on Randi’s childishly simple tests....If anyone here on the forum wants to claim that he or she can talk to the dead, then I can make the sun shine 5,000 degrees cooler… just prove me wrong! Any charlatan can learn cold-reading techniques.......just watch “This Is My Future”........ rubbish shows that rake in thousands of euros a day from gullible “patients”

Unfortunately, I have to disappoint Jacob, because I did solve a murder, and I was able to tell the investigators in great detail what had happened. How I knew that, well I have to laugh about that myself. I was vacuuming the house when the murdered man showed up. So I called the police. A little later the perpetrator's friend called me to tell me, amazed, that I had told everything exactly as the perpetrator had told it. The problem with people is that they lump everything together out of ignorance. And yes that program "This is My Future," is also based more on cold reading. Apparently there are hordes of people who need it. I myself have known a few good mediums in my life and that was definitely not cold reading. They are out there, but you just have to know who and how to reach them. But my story is solid and so no one can deny that anymore. Not even the police and I find that funny. Other than that I'm not concerned with it, it's just in our family. I don't have to read a book to find that out. And I certainly don't pretend to know everything. The above was another one of the events I have experienced in my life. Have a nice day.

What kind of proof do you have to back up what you’re claiming? I have a sister who also claims to have solved these kinds of problems; she really believes it herself, but she—and therefore my family—knows better. You could certainly go on like that for a while, yeah...

What scammers these "fortune tellers" are, unbelievable. I have nothing against those who believe in them or hold to them, but I would like to emphasize that you are being scammed in my opinion. I sometimes see courses of thousands of euros on the internet and readings often run up to 100 euros. I find it really outrageous to undress these people who are often already mentally unstable or in an unstable situation. Justice should put an end to this at some point. Fortunately this profession will hardly exist in 10 years I am sure. Build up a good pension dear mediums because it may soon be over.

Apparently, proponents of the “paranormal” on this forum don’t dare take on the challenge of performing childishly simple tests to prove that they can actually do what they claim. If I were to claim to possess supernatural powers, I would take on any challenge to prove that I can actually do what I claim… even if it were only to convince skeptics and critics or to silence them…

I’ve been through it too. From October 2015 through March 2016, they strung me along. Throughout the entire cycle, it was always the same old story. “On that day, you’ll win so much money,” and when that day finally arrived, it was once again, “You have negative energy.” “You must do this and that,” and once again, another day was set when I would win big. Each time, she—“(clairvoyant R)”—had a different vision; then it came from “Mister Ming”; a few days later, it was “the helping hand” again; and every time, it was something different. It just went on and on like that—there was no end to it. I finally canceled my subscription, and that process took another three weeks. P.S. The entire cycle has already cost me just over €900, and they were still asking me to deposit money. Meanwhile, I’ve won—money in my pocket. I think it’s a disgrace that they keep bleeding people dry in such a greedy way.

Well Jacob, not all of them - I myself have had experiences with things I can't explain. I couldn't sleep and went downstairs to grab a drink. A moment later I felt my husband coming up behind me, or so I thought. I was already getting ready for his prick in my side to startle me. He does that more often. Just to tease, but I didn't get a prick in my side. When I turned around, there was a person behind me with long hair and wearing brightly colored clothes with all kinds of colors. A face I couldn't see. Anyway, he/she was tall. Because I was so frightened, he/she disappeared. Also, in our new house I always felt a cold wind in one place. If my husband/son/mother sat down in that place because I got so cold from that wind, the wind would go with me to the other place. Until I would say "this is my house now and I will take good care of it, you should n u leave because you make me cold. A little later the wind was then gone. 1 of my cats and 1 of my dogs regularly look hypnotized for half an hour at that spot. My cat starts flapping her tail and flapping her little mouth and my dog starts growling after a year time. Now I kept a kitten from a litter of presses I bred and he is 6 months now. December 29, 2016 he suddenly stood upright against the wall and stared at that same spot. Since the day before yesterday he hasn't done t again. Maybe because I asked not to make my animals scared/angry. I have lived in this house for 17 years and feel very safe here. I regularly feel the wind and smell a wonderful fragrance. I ask something or tell something and always I say, that I take very good care of this house (Which I really do) and that THIS is really my place. My son was born in another house and we lived there for 3 years. Whenever he had to go upstairs to his room, he started screaming and spitting up. Totally panicked. Drama every night. We put him in our room, I laid with him in his room, in the guest room, screaming everywhere the electronic night. We also often heard a strange sound. Like someone was rolling a fat marble across the tiles. We did not have tiles but wool carpet everywhere. Inquired with the Neighbors, if she could not sleep at night and did something then. No, they both slept very well.After 3 years of misery We moved. My husband and I were broken because working without sleep is not doable. Over-tired We were. Once when our son went out to sleep, he slept in 1 piece until 10:00 a.m. After our move to another house like this one where We n u live, my three-year-old son and I went by on our bike in front of our previous house. My son said out of the blue "don't live there mom, bad house. Over a year after the move, my son told me that two men had visited him that night. Huh, what does he want? I asked him what he meant. He told me that he heard steps on the stairs and his door opened. 2 men came in and 1 grabbed him by his neck. He told the other that my son was not ready and another word. A word that we ourselves never used and my son did not know. Not a word for a child of over 4. I told him that he heard me on the stairs, that I went to the bathroom at 00.30 h. No way, he said, the 2 men were with me at 3.33 h. (He could watch the clock). (He could watch the clock.) By the way, as I write this, the 3:33 a.m. startles me because for years I have been seeing 3:33 a.m. every night and 3:33 p.m. every afternoon on the clock. That aside, our son still feels when something is at home. He has lived on his own for years. He can also take pain away from us By simply putting a hand on it. He used to do that when I was a little boy. If I had a headache, he would walk up to me and put his little hand on my head and after a while it was gone and he would continue with the player. I hadn't said anything about my headache. Same with abdominal pain every month. My husband always laughed at me when I told him. It can't be, he always said. He did, he did and I did not ask. Our son feels a lot and predicts a lot but does nothing with it. He is afraid of it, does not want to know anything about it and does not even want to put his hand on my or his wife's sore spot since he became 12 years old. Too bad, because that child has a gift to take away pain and to foresee/feel things. His previous girlfriend once said to me: ........ can take away my pain. She thought that was so weird but still special. But now he doesn't want to do it anymore she said, I'm not allowed to ask for it. My son had put his hand on her belly without her telling him she had such a stomach ache and later it was gone. No attention to it. She was glad the pain was gone. But after it happened a few more times she said to my son: "You always take away my pain with your hands. How can that be? I don't even tell you when and where I have pain, but you always put your hands in the right place. Then it was done, he didn't do it anymore. As if he himself didn't know that he was putting his hand(s) on a sore spot, wasn't even aware of it. Even his wife of today quickly realized that he was special. 99% of the predictions he makes come true and he has often relieved her of pains in the abdomen (monthly or intestinal cramps due to bacteria) or horn and muscle pains without her telling him anything about them. If she asks him once, he doesn t. He still doesn't want to know about it. But if there are worries with her or with us and our son says "it will be alright" or "then and then may this and that one go home from t hospital" then we calm down and always it has come true, to the day. Everything he predicts comes true. He is an ordinary young man now 30 years old with a good job, promoted last year to the boss of a large company. He is very intuitive and feels his staff very well. Knows exactly what to do when in terms of work and how to deal with his staff. That is how people describe him but we know better. No one should know that he "sees" things that have yet to happen, he definitely does not want that. Nor that he can take away pain from people and animals. People AND animals love him, my sister's daughter when she was little also saw more than us. She and our son saw colors around things/people that we did not see. They were about 4 when we found out through someone else after I told of those 2 men and that one difficult word. (Forgotten grr) Internet was not around then, so looking up what our kids saw was not possible. My sister's other daughter had a son 10 years ago. That little boy sees and talks to people we do not see since he can talk. Never paid attention.On her wedding day out of the blue he said Grandpa ....... was going to die.That same night he died,his parents' party in full swing. He still talks to that grandpa a lot (Overopa) Tells his parents things from the past, things his parents have to check with my sister (Her mother) He also talks a lot about his other grandpa, our father who died in the early 90s. Everything is true what that kid says. Then when you ask him how he knows that he says he talked to grandpa again. He sees and talks to deceased people. Once it was too much for his mother (my aunt-sayer), he rattled on and on, was about 5 A 6 years old. Then she said "now you have to stop", very bad for me. For him that was normal after all? Now he has long since realized that other people do not see/hear the persons (like his (great) grandfathers) and now it is scary with strange "people" talking to him. Who are they? Well, what to say? We don't see them, don't hear them talk. After my father passed away, I smelled him regularly. Really his smell, his heavy tobacco together with his aftershave. Once my sister called and asked me to look under the shelves of my sterile furniture. I didn't feel like taking everything apart, I had just done that with cleaning and that was always a pain in the ass with all those wires. (We haven't had it for years but we did then, everything on top of each other with shelves in between, cd player/radio/amplifier, tuner/pickup/cassette player). So done and called back. What should I see under the shelves? I saw nothing. Did my sister have a drawing of an animal, an animal as our father's nickname that our children had given him, sitting at the bottom of a shelf. She didn't understand anything about it and the next day t was gone. The kids were about 5 at the time, so they couldn't take t aperture out of the furniture and put it back in properly and reconnect everything with all those cords. Her husband was over far with work, huh? How is this possible? That critter drawn in that spot? I got a lamp with 8 chalices. There were 8 of us and home. Dad, Mom, sister, brother and I and our loved one. This lamp was in our summer house. One day the lamp started shining very brightly, flickering, off/on. I was alone. I asked if my Dad was there and if he wanted to tell me something maybe.The lamp started to shine very brightly. So that was yes. To another question, all 8 chalices started flashing very fast, which was no. To another question, 1 chalice went off and the other 7 lit normally. I went through all the names. At my mother's name the chalice flashed on again. I asked if it was going to Mom now and yes, all the lights were shining brightly again. I puzzled like this for months. What does he want to tell me. Once my husband came in and suddenly the lamp was off. He asked me who I was talking to. I said with Dad. He declared me crazy, every time dad was there, cold wind, his smell and the lamp went on, THAT lamp with 8 chalices and when my husband entered our summer house the lamp went off. Until once my husband asked "are you really here .......? Yes, suddenly all 8 chalices went on, finally my husband saw that I was not crazy. Now after 3 years the lamp is broken, 1 chalice is broken and not to get anymore, so the lamp thrown away. I wonder how my dad gets co tact with me now except through his smell and wind.My husband had cancer in the 80's, was very young still and was fighting for his life through a then new treatment veR of home. For 3 weeks I could not get in touch with him; suddenly he was there again. He told me that he had been in a kind of tube and was very tired from climbing to the light. But when he had climbed 2 meters, he kept getting pushed back. At that time we had never heard of tunnels, but later you hear and read about sick people who almost die and tunnels of light. Once there was a program on TV about this subject. My husband, sober as anything, looked at me and said "this I have experienced, this is what I mean". We understood, that the 3 weeks I could not get in touch with him, he really hovered on the edge of life and death. We both had goose bumps: well, there was no internet, we read all kinds of things but never paid attention. Until you read things like my son, my sister's grandson and other daughter, what we felt, smoke, the wind etc. When things are hard, there always comes that beast on my path after which the children called my dad grandpa ....... The grandpa that my sister sees and talks to her grandson on a regular basis and he can tell so much about. I hope they guide this boy of now 10 well, always listen to him and say nothing and I hope t goes away soon because I find this so sad for him. He now knows he is different and is getting quieter and quieter. He is not open anymore.So Jacob, I believe there are many people abusing the paranormal. Abusing gullible people and lying to them about things for money while they don't see or feel anything. From me they can get the Rambam immediately. BUT there are certainly people who see/hear/feel the deceased like my sister's grandson of now 10 years and there are certainly people who can make predictions like my son and take away pain. My son doesn't want to do anything with it. Doesn't want to know anything about it at all, thinks it's all just scary. But I will never forget that "naughty house" and those 2 men my son has seen, felt in his neck and heard (he is not ready yet) when he was over 4/just 5 and we were totally unfamiliar with the paranormal and are super down to earth people) I too see and feel things. I am very high sensitive and very intuitive and I will never forget that night when I thought my husband was behind me, getting ready for the prick in my side and I saw someone in bright colored clothes and long hair, without seeing a face. Oh how shocked I was, thinking that a stranger had sneaked into my house. There is more between heaven and earth that we cannot explain.

Excuse some judgment and drivel but indeed I keep a little book where I write down every caller's date of birth!

I completely understand where you’re coming from. And what’s “stupid”? Nothing is stupid, contrary to what some people claim. I myself have gone through a lot of hardship in recent years. Among other things, tinnitus, which I’ve been dealing with for 7 months now—you don’t know what to do at first. I’ve been to ear doctors, had acupuncture treatments, and so on. You end up calling healers and psychics. 99% of them are a waste of time, with just a few good ones. But when you’re all alone and there’s no medical solution, you get desperate and feel compelled to call them. They promise all kinds of things; some are so out there that you can’t make head or tail of what they’re saying. I just wanted to get that off my chest!

If you've been calling a line for 2 years aren't you a little stupid yourself? Did they force you to call? And then also with a nickname? Then be strong to also tell the story with your own name so that the scammer also knows who it is being attacked by. It is so easy to take others down, but aren't you yourself responsible for this stupid behavior? Calling for 2 years? Really pathetic!!! Own fault!!!

Dear website administrator, Calling people a scammer is going a bit far, don't you think? People choose to call. If there are some customers who are very unstable and then start to spit on this website and you stop other texts like this. I also find you a hypocrite. Because let's be honest, there is often something wrong with hypnotism, smokers who after paying for a therapy just smoke again. Do you mind being called a fraud? You have done your best and then on a website with the name h or p. What a shame. Shame on you!

I'm just saying that there are those who scam people and call themselves mediums and are not. There are plenty of them, unfortunately. I don't even call them by name, I just explain what they do so that people recognize when they are being conned. With hypnosis, sometimes it doesn't work either but the client knows that in advance and that's a whole different thing.

Another silly answer. Are you even a hypnotist? If a client calls a medium then the client knows whether or not the medium is right, right? Are you even that well known. Where are you registered!!! If you want to bring people down that is allowed friend, but you will get it back. Where did you get your degrees?

How does the customer know it's right than with the medium? And what exactly do you mean by stupid? And good reading is an art perhaps because where does it say I am undercutting people? A lot of assumptions you make and then you ask if I am known. I would say google it :-) And if we are friends I don't know, we haven't even had coffee yet ;-)

I too have called Paragnost and there are a lot of quacks there! There are at most 3 of them who are good and I told them so personally. He is a scammer because if you call him with a complaint, he does nothing at all with it, it is only about the money, along with his so-called mediums/paragnosts. They assure everyone that everything will be fine within a short period of time but the opposite is true. And if you send a negative message it is not posted because the guestbook is meant for a so-called thank you and not to tell mediums the truth. He is anything but transparent and only thinks about his own wallet. This needs to be shared because we need to be protected from people like this.

The problem sits that indeed people choose who they call, how long they call and how much they call. It is often said that when people do NOT hear what they want to hear they start calling someone a scammer, and why? Because they are so convinced of moochers. I could also start putting names of clients here who are not right and really need help, but I don't think that is done to start calling mediums or other people by name in this way. I can start putting people's stories down here but I don't get involved and do you know why? Because everyone talks and talks and talks and one knife cuts both ways! If customers don't hear good news you're a scammer, if you tell people the truth you're a scammer, if you don't listen to people you're a scammer, if you write down a customer's birth date you're a scammer or they make this their own story! Who has a problem then? The caller or the consultant on that line? The caller in my opinion should really get himself checked out. It is easy to refute everything with others and not to look at YOURSELF first! And if you have such a problem with mediums, psychics and so on don't call every line and medium! There are plenty like that too. It's always good to research first instead of speaking up if you don't know anything, and it's always better to do some research before speaking up and it's even better to keep your mouth shut if you're not sure about things because the client is always heard and never the consultant! Perhaps I should set up a website for this and start naming names as well I don't think I can get by with 1000 pages! It is each and everyone's right to do what they want and if some here can not stand it then you should first look at yourself! Because everyone here shouts whatever but there is NO ONE calling their name!!! Shameful is this!!!

Dear, I do want to share my experience here. With some here I completely agree but with many also not. I have called a number of consultants on psychics. And there is only one that I can say is good. On Astro Angels there are also two good consultants. On top consultants I have come in contact with F since a few months and I find him unmatchable as D and G also. These three know how to name things very well and always what they say comes true. I am very skeptical by nature but the people I name here are definitely worthy of being called medium to me.

How stupid are some of the things people claim? In recent years, I’ve been through a lot of trouble. There are a few good psychics out there, but the vast majority are RUBBISH—sorry to say it! I’ve already responded to someone who, just like me, spent a lot of money calling those psychics. I’ve been dealing with tinnitus for 7 months now; I’ve seen ear doctors, had acupuncture treatments, and so on. Yeah, and then, out of desperation, you start calling healers and psychics. One psychic scares you with diseases and misfortune that’s supposedly coming, while others are so vague you can barely understand them, and yet another says things that never come true—so they’re all equally useless! I just had to get that off my chest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can relate to this one hundred percent. You’re desperate, and they’re out to make a quick buck. With one exception, I’ve found them all to be money-grubbers and, in my opinion, outright scammers. And this despite the fact that I myself can genuinely sense a deceased family member or friend.

There are indeed many charlatans and scammers. You can sense a good medium that way. And there really are very good mediums and very good lines. Where really good mediums do work on.Top consultations? Very vague intention and very bad mediums on top consults. The line owner comes from the sex business, so what must you wonder about the mediums working there.

I totally agree with Eline, I do know a few that are really good. And yes sex industry that again says something about the owner. I have already heard and read stories and very bizarre man. I can't understand how something like that starts a line. Friend of mine had problems and after several times emailing no response back. I don't have much experience with it myself but I don't think they should allow such a person. And have you seen how many are on there? Only about money! Scammers

so now I'm going to react there is a difference in mediums but that does not mean they are not good and do you call a medium just to predict the future or do you also want to be helped in the now because that is also the problem of the person who calls what do you expect a medium to know everything ? that is very naive read is what a medium can they expect miracles and every right-thinking person knows that you can determine a piece of your own future then I think get off your ass and do something with it

Nonsense and a scam—there are no spirits. It’s all in your head.

I really do get so tired. Dear people. Believing in God is another thing and is also exploited.Whether spirits exist or not is.... I can guarantee you that zw exist. They come in all forms. The reason this Rhandi or whatever doesn't get that money out is because he puts tricks kp table which he himself influences. What makes em so credible. Besides a true medium knows that he or his gift should not be abused. I may not tell everything I get through. You must know that they work with energies. Those energy flows cannot be explained. Our perceptions are different. The best thing you can do yourself is to say nothing as soon as you call. We are not omniscient. We get through what we can pass on to you. That's how it works. We are not allowed to say everything and we don't get everything through. I myself work with guides and can empathize strongly on an energetic level. Often people do not dare to admit out of shame or fear of reality. People are weird. Often people want to know or hear something else than they want. Of course they ask for it themselves, but whether they are prepared to hear what they want to hear is question two. Also people often want to know times. If one comes up with a date, stop. Time cannot be predicted. Further and last and then we get the opposite again.... Man determines his own way. Man decides for himself whether or not he joins. This is called self-determination. Whether you actually become happy is question 2. Sometimes much later, and we hear nothing more about it, one suddenly decides after months or years to follow the advice. At that moment one unconsciously opens up so that the energies can start to flow again. In fact, a mena can unconsciously block that because of his or her own peace of mind. If one does not let go of something temporarily, that person blocks the flow of that energy. Over time, that person no longer believes in it and lets it go. Sometimes you don't even bother until you suddenly have to deal with it again. Then you feel the energy start to flow again. It is not for nothing that people suddenly get back together after years. If you have a negative attitude, you also block the energy so things get stuck as well. It's all childishly simple. What we humans like is to have an explanation for everything. Everything must have a cause. The skeptical people like Rhandi, make up tests when they don't know what it all means. Sure there are plenty of impostors. Let that just be the majority on TV or who exploit themselves. They will indeed go under. That million or whatever he offers is nice, but that's not what our gifts are for. That's not how it works. Stronger from generalside you can then figuratively get a slap on the wrist. Everyone has this and is susceptible to it, but not everyone can handle it and society suppresses that and teaches you not to. After all, you are then crazy. Prove that God exists.... Can you? You can't.

It's fake. Anyone can call themselves a medium without any physical proof. A policeman or a bus driver can prove they are because they have official papers. Scientifically it is not substantiated.
