There are four reasons we know that mediums are receiving information from people living in afterlife:
- During the early 20th century, Frederick Myers determined to prove that the afterlife messages transmitted through mediums were being sent by an individual, not a super psychic, or super-psi. After he passed away, he communicated with a number of mediums, sending messages in the field of classical studies, his academic specialty while on Earth. These messages only made sense when combined, demonstrating that a single medium couldn’t have obtained the psychic or super-psi reading information. Following Myers’ demonstration, other pioneers in afterlife research conducted similar experiments after passing into the spirit world. Today, there exist 12,000 pages of such demonstrations.
- The people who come through in mental mediumship, direct-voice mediumship, and physical mediumship all refer to things going on in the person being read’s life around the time of the reading, even though the person has been dead for years. These people who come through refer to mundane things such as whether the person on this side of life has changed the furniture in their home, gone on trips to unique places the person in spirit describes, or noticed someone who looked like the deceased (noted from mental messages going on in the mind of the person on this side of life that were not voiced).
- The Leslie Flint sessions especially have people on this side of life visiting Flint repeatedly (every week or month or six months) to have casual conversations with a spouse, child, or parent in spirit. The person on this side of life wouldn’t come repeatedly if the person they were speaking to wasn’t assuredly their loved one carrying on unique conversations in each session.
- We have recorded responses from people living in the afterlife that are answers to questions about specific, current events. The recordings could not come from super-psi because the recordings are being produced on the recorder, without the medium’s influence.
- Research has been done using proxy sitters. The most prominent research is the Canyon Ranch experiments performed by Gary Swartz. A proxy sitter is someone sitting in for the person being read. The medium doesn’t get responses directly from the proxy sitter. Instead, a mediator conveys messages. The medium knows only the minimal information about the person being read through the proxy. The experiments showed that the mediums were able to provide details about the person in spirit, even though the person being read was not identified or present. There still could be super-psi, but it is much less likely.During the early 20th century, Frederick Myers aimed to prove that messages transmitted through mediums were coming from an individual, rather than from super-psi. Upon his passing, he communicated with several mediums and sent messages pertaining to classical studies, his academic specialty while on Earth. These messages only made sense when combined, demonstrating that a single medium couldn’t have obtained the psychic or super-psi reading information.
