WHY I DON’T USE MY VOICE FOR WFSIW
Over the past year, a few of the supporters of my work have asked me why I don’t do more of the communications with spirit using my voice instead of writing them all. Let me explain why.
I actually do sit with a recorder running sometimes, and I regularly voice the words I am hearing. In the past, I did share one such recording with More WFSIW. The challenge is with me and this aspect of spirit-work that I’m representing.
I am aware that the words I write are being read by like-minded people with varying levels of experience and knowledge in this work. It is therefore important to me that whatever work I produce and release, represents spiritualism to the best standards possible. I have a responsibility to the readers and listeners that what they intake is acceptable as part of their learning journey.
Working with the spirit world in an altered state of mind is not the great mystery I once thought it was. It’s a fairly straightforward process. But the preconceived perception that the listener often has is that the medium is going to make funny noises as their body is taken over and then start talking in an alien voice, with flowery words of wisdom and some profound message from the speaker’s world.
Though that might be rather entertaining to watch and listen to, it often alienates the student as it did me for many years. It makes ‘Trance’ work appear like something that takes years to develop and somewhat like a superpower.
Trance, as it is commonly known, is better referred to as working in an altered state of mind. That state of presence varies in depth from a light-altered state of mind, such as we all do several times every day, to a deeper state of mind, where the person is less aware of what he or she is saying or doing. The latter is a state of being that can take many years to evolve within a medium.
I still believe that when I speak the words of spirit, I am very much still in a lighter state of mind. More accurately, my brain has shifted from the beta state toward the theta state. To improve my abilities, I have to keep practising and learning the disciplines that I don’t yet have. I have learned to shift better through the writing process because I’m not consciously hearing my own voice.
When I am more confident that my voiced trance is purer, I will indeed post the results. In the meantime, I continue with regular practice and learning.
