Psychics or deluded fools! This is an interesting point made by one of my blog readers, who also asks if I would take a £500,000 challenge. I have to say that paranormal skills are far easier to disprove than they are to substantiate. I am not a medium by choice as much as I am by birth and circumstances. It is not my intention to prove anything to anyone. Also, I have to say it is easy to pour disdain and ridicule mediums and psychics, but unless you have experienced enough of them to put you in the position to pass judgement, then it is unfair to make a crass comment by condemning them all. It is true that not all mediums and psychics are genuine, and so when consulting one it is important to be selective.
It's easy to have a pop at people in my profession when they are not in a position to defend themselfves. It's even more unintelligent to accuse mediums of not being genuine simply because they do not rise to the bait of 'WHY DON'T YOU USE YOUR SKILLS TO FIND MISSING CHILDREN, OR TO BRING A CONCLUSION TO UNSOLVED CRIMES?' I have been working as a medium for over 25 years, and although I have helped the police with their enquiries on numerous occasions, I can honestly say that I have not produced anything really helpful.
Over the past two years I have been working on a book with Dr Ciaran O'Keeffe, (Most Haunted) entitled THE GREAT SPIRITUAL CLASH, due to be published on June 1st. This project is an intellectual battle between a parapsychologist and a medium, and although Ciaran and myself come from completely different academic backgrounds, the concept should appeal to both sceptics and devotees of the paranormal. The Great Spiritual Clash is a book with a broad appeal and explores the whole concept of the paranormal. By the way, I would not subject myself to further ridicule by allowing my skills to be tested for money. In saying that, I have been involved in numerous scientific tests over the years, and these are far more interesting than rising to the veiled or other wise innuendoes used by those who disguise who they really are. After all, the pen is far mightier than the sword, don't you think?
