Psychic Sally Morgan under attack again

The British platform medium Sally Morgan, sometimes referred to as 'Princess Diana's psychic' is under attack again in the Daily Mail newspaper.

It was claimed earlier that some people at one of Sally's platform readings reputedly heard someone relaying information to her from outside the hall. She has vigorously denied the claim.

Death and Clairvoyancy,Spiritualism and Belief

Spiritualism and Belief

Sometimes the person having the reading has had a bereavement, which is why she is there, and I have not noticed. It took me a long time to understand what was going. I had not noticed anyone over their left shoulder. It turned out that the problem was to do with belief, or rather the lack of belief. Understanding the nature and role of belief is the key to being a spiritualist, for we all have the ability. The fact that you are reading this suggests that you have the ability, even if you do not know how to be a spiritualist. Read on, and you will find how to be a spiritualist yourself.

Death and Clairvoyancy

When a person is recently bereaved (recent can mean a few days, weeks, months, or sometimes years), and they come for a reading, they expect the reader to see the death, and they want the reader to say something about the deceased person. You know the secret – the spirits on the left hand shoulder.
Sometimes these spirits are not present, and consequently I do not realise anything is amiss. This does not impress the client quite frankly, and so I resolved to find out what the problem is – is it me? Or is it something to do with the client?

Quorums at Committee meetings

A reader of this website who now lives in Perth and who was a regular visitor to Enmore has written with a query about a number of websites that falsely claim to represent the Church and contain mis-information particularly about the matter of Quorums at Committee meetings of the Church.

To put this matter to rest once and for all time, please refer to this website that explains the matter:

Psychic News to be re-published

A ripple of excitement has swept around the world of Spiritualism after it was announced that the assets of the 80 year old newspaper PN Psychic News have been purchased by the Spiritualist organisation, the JV Trust under the auspices of the chairman, the respected Minister Eric Hatton.

The JV Trust issued the following statement today:
" My fellow trustees and I are absolutely delighted to announce that yesterday, 4th October 2011, ownership of psychic News , it's archives and other assets passed to the J.V Trust".

Rev Cleary

In 2010 Psychic News published the front page story that Reverend Patricia Cleary had been vindicated in the NSW Supreme Court after several persons had made false claims about her tenure of the Enmore Spiritualist Church. 
False and bizarre claims were made that local police and the Fraud Squad were investigating the church when no such investigation happened or was ever contemplated by the police as they aknowledged in writing to Rev. Cleary.

The article vindicating Reverend Cleary was firstly vetted by a retired British judge (who worked on Psychic News) to confirm accuracy and the legality of the article.

The Psychic News went into administration with a complicated legal situation occurring over ownership of it's assets that were thought to be owned by the Spiritualist's National Union (UK) who own and operate the famous Stansted Hall.
Prominent members of the SNU gave invaluable support and advice to Reverend Cleary, who enjoys a world-wide reputation for her promotion of the religion.

thoughts on Spiritualist churches

Strengths The only evidence-based religion. A proven link with Spirit, keeping the message and inspiration relevant No reliance on outdated and legend-based theology Universalist and non-sectarian outlook Modern, inclusive and socially-progressive philosophy with no anti-women or anti-gay teachings National network of over 500 churches: SNU 336, GW 52, US 28, Corinthians ?, Unaffiliated ? Large population of enthusiastic, skilled and talented volunteers

Weaknesses Movement is stuck in ‘messages’ groove General standards of mediumship not what joiners have been led (unrealistically?) to expect Failure to promote philosophy as interestingly and accessibly as it should be Larger number of leavers than joiners over past 21 years(4) Inability to retain joiners for very long. Untrained leadership at church level Church network erratically spaced, based on serendipity rather than strategic planning Small size of congregations and churches,  making it difficult to offer an interesting and comprehensive range of activities, or to minister to the whole person Lack of in-depth leadership at all levels (too many ‘elected unopposed’) Too much bureaucracy – too little creativity

Opportunities Retain many more from the large numbers we attract Create a new model of Spiritualist church or centre Retain the large number of joiners we attract with the natural mediums that are out there Appeal to family audience with Lyceums alongside Sunday morning services Multi-media advertising, using small press ads to direct prospects to website articles, setting out our stall more fully and cheaply than ever before. To replace declining Christianity as the natural religion for modern humankind

Threats Exposure of a ‘super medium’, bringing our easy recruitment advantage to a halt, whilst accelerating the leavers’ rate Possibility of bad publicity and unfair media coverage Our own exponents’ limitations being spread by word of mouth Legislation (unlikely at present) Our own inaction due to failure to recognise our present vulnerability SNU’s bureaucratic culture could kill the creativity necessary to transform it

Spiritualist medium Jeff Jones

Spiritualist medium Jeff Jones from South-Wales/England..Spiritualist medium and Healer. Jeff was born 1954 in South-Wales/England. And he had his first contact with the spiritual world when he was 10 years old . . . He met and had a conversation with his "dead grandmother It was the most natural and beautiful experience anyone could wish to have. He was not frightened! But more pleased to see her! As a child he was told that grandmother had died and gone to heaven! So his first thought after saying good bye to her was: if grandmother is in heaven then heaven must be on earth?

Princess Diana's psychic answers critics

A psychic who was regularly consulted by the late princess Diana has hit back at allegations she was assisted when giving readings during a public demonstration of clairvoyance by a man feeding her information from outside a hall.

Sally Morgan said : ‘I totally respect cynics and sceptics, as if we don’t ask questions we don’t get answers,’

Sally Morgan

‘However, I will not stand by and be accused of fraudulent behaviour, from inaccurate sources of information. It’s completely and utterly balderdash"

Following a presentation at Dublin's Grand Canal Theatre an audience member named 'Sue' claimed to have heard a man’s voice from the back of the auditorium relaying information to the psychic superstar on stage.

When the second half started we could clearly hear a man’s voice coming from the window behind us,’ she told RTE radio station in Dublin.

She claimed the voice would, for example, say ‘David, pain in the back, passed quickly’ and a few seconds later Sally would claim to have the spirit of a ‘David’ .

unexplained mystery...

Medium Michael Bagan

Evidence, evidence, evidence!

Posted on 16/08/2011 by spiritofpn| 18 Comments

Sue Farrow introduces a report on some exceptional survival evidence given recently to ‘Valerie’ by London-based medium Michael Bagan.       
Few Spiritualists – even those who do their utmost to look on the bright side – can have failed to notice that first class survival evidence has been increasingly thin on the ground in recent years.
Much has been written about the possible reasons for this – poor training, rushed or insufficient development, lack of home circles, etc – and it’s obvious that these could be contributing factors.

The Dalai Lama on Karma

The Dalai Lama on Karma and How To Get Some Of The Good Stuff

Here's a quote on the importance of action from His Holiness:

Some people misunderstand the concept of karma. They take the Buddha's doctrine of the law of causality to mean that all is predetermined, that there is nothing the individual can do. This is a total misunderstanding. The very term karma or action is a term of active force, which indicates that future events are within your hands. Since action is a phenomenon that is committed by a person, a living being, it is within your own hands whether or not you engage in actions.

The Dalai Lama's "Instructions For Life" lists out 20 ways to "get good karma":

1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk. 

2. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson. 

3. Follow the three R’s:

- Respect for self

- Respect for others

- Responsibility for all your actions

TV documentary about Spiritualism

radio show about Spiritualism and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Now available to listen to and download on Richard Glover's Drive show on 702 ABC Radio

Although the speaker sounds sceptical, there is  some good historical information about Arthur's visit to Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

"Let's get physical ... or did we?" & Arthur Conan Doyle

## Important : Today at approx 5pm onwards on 702 ABC Sydney is a radio program about the great Spiritualist Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his visit in 1920/21 to Australia to give talks on Spiritualism .

                                                        *************************

"Let's get physical ... or did we?"

 Last night, I either witnessed a remarkable display of physical mediumship by David Thompson, a Brit who now resides in Australia and who claims to produce full-form materialisations, or a blatant deception that is succeeding in fooling many otherwise sensible people. So which was it?

The only way to make up one's mind in such a situation – in which the 40-plus people attending this séance at Jenny's Sanctuary in Oxfordshire were literally in the dark – is to examine both scenarios and ask which, logically, makes the most sense. That's what I'm about to do, in the hope that the views of visitors to this Blog may also contribute some useful insight

Scientists who investigated the paranormal

2. Respected scientists who investigated

“I am absolutely convinced of the fact that those who once lived on earth can and do communicate with us. It is hardly possible to convey to the inexperienced an adequate idea of the strength and cumulative force of the evidence.”
Sir William Barrett F.R.S.

Sir Oliver Lodge

“I tell you we do persist. Communication is possible. I have proved that the people who communicate are who and what they say they are. The conclusion is that survival is scientifically proved by scientific investigation.”
Sir Oliver Lodge F.R.S.

“It is quite true that a connection has been set up between this world and the next.”
Sir William Crookes F.R.S.

“I have been talking with my (dead) father, my brother, my uncles... Whatever supernormal powers we may be pleased to attribute to (the medium) Mrs. Piper's secondary personalities, it would be difficult to make me believe that these secondary personalities could have thus completely reconstituted the mental personality of my dead relatives...”
