In the XIX century, spiritual sessions were often held in the UK and other countries. During these rituals, everyone could try to contact dead relatives. People who received messages from ghosts were called mediums and they exist even today. Many perceive them as charlatans, and some consider psychologically sick people at all. Since recently, the services of the mediums began to be in demand again, scientists decided to explore their ability to "hear the voices of the dead" from a scientific point of view. They conducted a survey among the mediums and found out that most of them began to hear voices at about the 20th age and did not know about the existence of Spiritualism. This information has come across scientists to the idea that all mediums are no more than ordinary fantasies with hallucinations.
Spiritualism is a religious and philosophical flow, on the basis of which faith in life after death. Adherents of this flow believe that they can communicate with the spirits of dead people through medium services.
Communication with the dead
In about the 20th century, the fashion for the services of the mediums passed, but today it is reborn. In the UK and other countries there are about 500 spiritualist churches. There is also the National Union of Spiritualists, the founders of which argue that about 11,000 people have already passed through their colleges. These centers are trained by mediums and material support for all other psychics and other people with "supernatural abilities". Within the framework of scientific work, the results of which were published in the scientific journal Mental Health, Religion and Culture, scientists conducted a survey among 65 British mediums.
During the survey, it turned out that 44.6% of mediums hear the voices of the dead every day, and 33.8% - several times a week. Most hear voices inside their heads, and some assure that they are coming from the outside. For the first time, they found their "unusual ability" at about the 20th age. And before this point, they did not hear anything about spiritualism. But it is interesting that - almost all of the mediums found signs of absorptions. Under this psychological term, it is customary to understand the high level of susceptibility to hypnosis, meditations and drug abuse. That is, such people are easy to inspire information, and in addition, they love to fantasize.
Most modern mediums also assure that they are able to shoot the evil eye and damage. About what evil eye from a scientific point of view can be read in this material.
Why do hearing hallucinations arise?
Also, people who also heard votes took part in the scientific work, but did not consider themselves psychic. They have no signs of absorption. Usually, auditory hallucinations arise in people with schizophrenia and other mental illness. But they can arise in healthy people in adolescence, with long stress, lack of sleep or during falling asleep. Only here people with absorption after that begin to be interested in spiritualism, they fantasize a lot and come to the conclusion that they are mediums. And ordinary people either do not pay attention to hallucinations and forget about them. And if the oddities are repeated, hurry to consult a doctor.
Ultimately, it turns out that the path of becoming a medium consists of the following steps:
- At a fairly early age, a person hears the voices during falling asleep, during the period of stress or due to the presence of psychological problems;
- He finds information about spiritualism and because of his suprameability begins to believe in supernatural;
- It will acquire similar familiar, proclaims itself with a medium and begins to provide relevant services.
At the moment, the medium is almost every city. Before holding a spiritual session, people are encouraged to choose a person with whom to contact. Mediums assure that there is a durable connection between relatives and close friends. You also need to decide on the questions that I want to ask the spirits. Sessions of each medium pass in different ways - to what they will reach their fantasy, so it will be. Prices for services also differ depending on the medium, but it is unlikely below 1000 rubles. From a legal point of view, the mediums do not differ from hairdressers and other people who provide any services.
