The Ghost of Patrick Swazye

Monday, September 14th, 2009

In the famous and now-classic movie Ghost, Patrick Swazye plays Sam Wheat, a banker who is murdered.  His spirit stays around the Earth plane and he encounters Whoopi Goldberg, who plays Oda Mae Brown, a medium.  If you’ve never seen the movie, it’s a must watch.  It’s a perfect opportunity to curl up with your favorite somebody and watch a great story about mediumship and romance.

Unfortunately, Patrick passed today due to cancer.  I hope his transition went smoothly.

My view is that actors and musicians and the like don’t get the chance to fully appreciate how their works motivate and captivate audiences both inside and outside the theatres and concert halls.  Over in the spirit world, I hope he learns just how much enjoyment he brought to the Earth plane through his acting while he was here.  I wish him well.  He’ll be missed!

Almost 1 in 3

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

While browsing an article about ghost hunting, I found something interesting:

“Before you scoff, know this: About 3 in 4 Americans profess at least one paranormal belief, according to a 2005 Gallup survey. About 37 percent of Americans believe in haunted houses, and 32 percent believe spirits of dead people can come back in certain situations.”

If you take the last statement to mean a belief in mediumship, then we’re almost 1 in 3 …

Ghosts and Ghostbusting

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Buffalo (NY) got itself on an episode of Ghost Hunters, and the episode ran tonight.  Some people really like phenomena, but for me as a medium, I don’t watch these shows.  For me, the question of whether the shows or the evidence is “real” or “legitimate” is not particularly relevant.  It’s enough for me to know that phenomena exists, no doubt in my mind, whether they’ve actually recorded it on their show or not.

I have more interest in the things that indicate intelligence and communication, as opposed to being provided evidence that spirits exist.

Spirits have as much right to exist in a place as we do, but when the situation becomes threatening (to either party) things need to be done.  It’s commonly called “ghostbusting” or spirit removal, but I think that’s a little limiting – it gives an image of exterminators coming to rid your house of pests. Unlike pests, it’s fairly possible for spirits and Earth plane folks to coexist peacefully, as not all “hauntings” are negative/nasty/evil.

It seems to me that shows of this type often have mediums come in and say “yep, you’ve got ghosts”, but they don’t do anything to solve the problem – they just walk away.  I’ve done some work in this area, and it is possible to make improvements and “solve” the problem.

Let’s take a moment to send a thought of peace and harmony to all spirits and Earth plane folks who are living together in disharmony….

Ghost Walking in WNY

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

Buffalo

Have you ever been on a haunted history ghost walk?  I have, and it’s interesting.  It’s a tour of an area with discussion about the history, culture, architecture, and psychic, spiritual, or haunting aspects of it as well.  The Spectrum, the newspaper of the University of Buffalo (UB), recently wrote a great article you’ll want to read.

In Buffalo and Western New York, you’ll find Mason Winfield offering these tours.  He’s the author of several books on the subject, including this new one:

Being that I live in both Buffalo and Rochester, I’ll have to check it out when I get a chance.  Not only is Mason Winfield a good tour guide, he’s a pleasant guy.  I remember talking with him about people we know in common, Paul & Peggy Spencer, who were mediums and also my teachers.  Paul & Peggy were killed in a car accident some years ago.  I mentioned that they sometimes stop by, and my reference to them in the present tense intrigued him a bit.

Having people you know in the spirit world come to visit is one of the great benefits of mediumship, and if you knew Paul & Peggy, you’d appreciate it all the more.   They were great folks, and I learned much-much-much from them.  Their son Ron, another good medium and teacher that I learned from, was also killed in an accident around the same time, and he stops by on occasion.  I’m sorry they’re not still with us here on the Earth Plane, and I wish them the very best in their lives in the Spirit World.

Prayers and healing, and not just for Patrick Swayze

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

Ghost is a great movie about love, romance, and mediumship. It’s a nice portrayal of how things work between the Earth plane and the Spirit world. If you haven’t seen it, run, don’t walk to the nearest place you can find it, and watch it with your significant other.

Unfortunately, Patrick Swayze, one of the stars of the movie, has an advanced form of cancer and is now fighting for his life.

It’s easy for us to have compassion for celebrities, because we feel we know them. But be mindful that there are many people around the world who are suffering as he is, in complete anonymity. Make sure you send your prayers and healing out to them too!
