S1E4 When the Dead Speak: A First Hand Experience of Mediumship

Mediumship, the ancient practice of talking to the dead, posits that certain highly attuned individuals can perceive some part of our consciousness that survives death. While at odds with Western materialist science, societies for millenia have depended on mediums to contact their discarnate loved ones during periods of severe loss. In the Western world, loss due to war, disease and family tragedy continue to drive individuals to find skilled practitioners of this intimate therapeutic service to provide hope and guidance by reaching beyond the veil. Skeptics of mediumship, whether rigorous to amatuer, share the mission to disprove the objective reality of a medium's work. By focussing on literal or material evidence only, skepticism sometimes discounts the powerful transpersonal experience sought after by the medum's client. In this episode, narrator Suzanne Clores approaches her mediumship experience with open minded skepticism, laying aside the cultural taboo to engage in a personal encounter with the dead.
