Natalie's trance medium lecture from home Claude

This lecture is from Natalie’s guide called Claude. This particular lecture was done within the class and it is mainly concerned with students who may be struggling with becoming close to their trance medium guides and becoming a medium in their own right.

Anyway, I will now hand you over to Claude.

Claude. Good-evening.

A chance to speak in the written word rather then the spoken is an opportunity for which I am quite enthused. Although correspondence was not a skill I was altogether an apt student of, it offers the most unusual opportunity for myself to speak as I did, for fingers to not trip as often as the tongue when one's own is unfamiliar with the cadence.

Let us further our tutelage of mediumship, for the class is lacking and I, as shameless guardian of both my own and the circle's medium entry, an interviewer- to use the common, am quite bombarded with requests for entry, and my own cannot handle all, so it is out of love for the class and my own- and out of waning patience I seek to guide you all to the path of highly apt and versatile mediums.

A number of you, both self admitted and self denied, are sensitive to the needs and wants of others, you are, in a sense, tuned into their emotional vibration. Mediumship is as natural and surprisingly easy a task, and so, in turn, is blocking out the unwanted negativity and boorishness of the common human being. The problem in this situation is society, with all it's laughable customs traditions and ingrained beliefs has taught you to ignore and block said emotional connectivity to spirit, chasing away any possible talent by oppressing your secret beliefs by excusing them as illness', mood swings, and my favorite excuse of all, imagination.

Human emotional levels, on the other hand, are harder to ignore when the host of such annoying interference is not only sending out emotional vibrations, but speaking in body language, tone, words and positively hitting you over the head with their current extreme emotional state.

There is a popular colloquial saying of the now, which quote "Talk to the hand" This approach is pure genius when used upon the forceful and selfish imposition of others on your emotional territory. For when sensitive’s such as yourselves feel the tiniest tingle of incoming emotional baggage it is as simple as mentally saying 'Talk to the hand" and turning your mind to the most opposing thoughts you can manage. The signals say 'Unhappy' turn your head to 'Happy', sing a ditty, send your own vibrations in turn, and don't settle on belting them about the face and head with it, I quite encourage use of extreme emotional violence. Punch them with happy, slap, kick and strangle them with it until they have no choice. Believe me, being constantly happy and chipper has two consequences- your own friends will become happier and gravitate towards your sunny disposition, and two, unwanted and gloomy, negative friends will quietly desert your unbearable gaiety to chew on their own misery with people they can bring down with them.

I do advise ignoring the gossip about your questionable sanity, however, that such negatives will almost undoubtedly spread. For comparing a person who makes every situation happy and a person who gets a grim pleasure from bringing everyone else down, I see no question who has the most tenuous grip on reality. Who needs friend such as that? I've had better enemies and critics.

Tuning into your trance medium guides, however, need not wait until you have mastered the fine art of excruciatingly gay. Find your guides with an openness such as that which one uses to feel the emotions of others. In the common, close your eyes, relax your shoulders and scream into the void behind the eyelids "I want to do this!"

The next is dependant upon your own guides' manner of communicating. I like to rehearse. Perhaps yours shall too, in that case you might get a volley of pictures floating across the mental picture theatre, or words, and perhaps you may get a topic, one picture, perhaps nothing.

Personally I disapprove of the nothing method, terribly antisocial. If nothing is your guide's way of communicating, mentally kick said guide in the shins and demand some form of "I'm there!" communication, rank beginners such as yourselves can't afford the self doubt and possibly frightening silence of a contemplating spirit.

If you happen to find there is little or nothing topic wise, you are quite permitted to suggest, run through topic ideas and such, you are part of a two man team, included in the mediumship at a very personal level, so your guides will (and should if they wish to continue in our circle) value your own ideas and desires.

Now, it is inevitable you shall run across an uncooperative guide, be they stubborn or rude or plain mischievous, do voice your objections. Though, please, not like one would reprimand a dog or a horse, as one would reprimand a co worker or friend. A polite reminder why they're here, you are, of course, totally allowed in my opinion to threaten them with replacement. If said spirit continues to misbehave, you can go as far as totally refusing them entry, open your eyes to break your meditation and distract yourself. In almost every case the spirit will return to your quite mollified within a few seconds, leaving you free to medium without problems.

Your medium and yourself are two separate beings. You will both have different ideas, different mannerisms and different speech. I do not expect nor do I encourage guides at your level of advancement to push these differences too far lest they break your conversation, but I also stress, I do not approve of one forcing one's OWN mannerisms over on the spirit, lest THEY retreat in confusion.

Emotional baggage, we come back to the focal point of the beginning, except now we turn to observe spirits own. You are now closer t spirit, past experiences, people, faces, places, deeds and such may provoke an emotional response from your guides, be they medium or clairvoyant, healer or so on. They are, after all almost literally camped on your shoulder, so one must respect that unfortunate leakage, for we do, after all, bear a great deal more from you then we allow from us. Request, if the situation gets too distressing, if it is possible to step back, or simply what one can do to avoid the situation.

Remember, I will roam, I will help, and I will, if necessary, prod, poke and become a general nuisance to those spirits who disrupt and disrespect your efforts.

One feels inclined to add

Yours in earnest

Claude R.

For it does, after all remind one of such carefully phrased letters one sends to others about delicate topics one would NEVER bring up in fashionable conversation.
