I’m happy to be relating this tale of my meeting with she who has become a very dear friend and mentor on this of times awesome and truly challenging path that we all share.

In answer to this question, I am taken back some twenty years or so.

At that time, I didn’t know who this dear lady was. As it happened, my mediumship had just begun a short while before this, and it occupied most of my waking hours, in my mental atmosphere anyway. Which is to say that I was thinking about it both day and night.

So at that time, I was beginning the new phase of mediumship which included trance work. For those of you who may not be familiar with this work, it is that form of mediumship that involves the temporary lending of one’s body to a spirit guide or helper for the purpose of allowing that being to speak through the vocal cords of the medium in flesh. The spirit being is usually someone who is known to the medium, and therefore the consent has been given for this to happen. Some of the dangers of mediumship that have been discussed over the years are around this very subject. It isn’t that different from knowing well who you might lend your car to, or your home for a period of time if you were planning to be gone. In other words, its all a matter of being familiar with the ones you’re dealing with, as above so below. The same principle applies, both in dealing with spirit people and with earth people. I find myself repeating this very point of the law in my classes on psychic development. It is simply that we haven’t been taught much about the spiritual and psychic sciences, but they follow very much the same rules and laws that those on earth do. That’s why we are fond of saying, “As Above, So Below.”
