CF. I will eventually respond to your comments on zenoglossy in my thread on family exorcisms in the neg abuse section. So far I have simply provided several illustrations of why I'm even skeptical of most channeling that has ESP support and, if asked, discourage people from seeking a medium's guidance. 'But now I want ot shift gears and summarize some cases that I suspect might involve genuine contact with the deceased.

On Nov. 28, I was listening to a popular overnight radio program (Coast to Coas) ton which Robert Bruce has sometimes been featured as the guest. The guest was medium Hans King. He traced his channeling ability to general psychic abilities demonstrated at a young age. I was reminded of how often mediums are psychically gifted in ways that suggest their channeling is more likely derived from ESP than from genuine contact with the deceased. I'm more impressed by mediums who otherwise lack any psychic talent. But Hans shared one experience that amazed me, and so, I thought I'd share it as best I can recall the details.

Hans was getting annoyed by constant contacts from his deceased mother. Finally, he mentioned another gifted medium he knew and urged his mother to channel through her instead. Then while attending a convention for mediums, he was approached by a female medium he did not know. She asked him, "Are you Hans?" He replied, "Yes." "Well, your mother has been communicating with me. Really, Hans, you must never order your own mother to stop communicatiing with you!" A chastened Hans reflected on the significance of his mother selecting a stranger to "come through" instead of the medium he suggested. He theorized that his mother might have used this ploy to make the genuineness of her manifestation more convincing to him. But I wonder if this stranger was simply a better fit for his Mom than the medium he suggested. Or was his Mom simply doing this as a signal not to order her around? This episode might still be due to ESP rather than genuine contact. But I consider it one of the more impressive stories of channeling I have encountered in the past year.
