Can You Hear a Pin Drop?

How clear are the voices I hear in a reading?  Sometimes
the auditory evidence from those who have passed comes through like a phone
call, and other times it’s as if the spirit is talking under water.  Sometimes it’s so fleeting that I wonder, “Did
I really hear that?”  I have learned to
pass along 100% of what I hear, see, and feel in a reading, even if I may not
be 100% sure of what I sense.  If the
information strikes a chord with the person having the reading (the “sitter”),
I know I sensed correctly.  If not, I
first ask the sitter to check the information with another family member
later.  Once verified, that is one of my
favorite kinds of evidence, because it shows that I wasn’t reading the sitter’s
mind; I was hearing it directly from their loved one on the other side.  If the information can’t be verified, then it
most likely got garbled passing through my human filter (aka:  my brain).

No one bothered to tell the ranger that he had misheard the
answer.  Both food and boots are helpful
on a hike.  And both have the same “oo”
sound, which is what caused the ranger’s brain to interpret “food” as “boots.”  The two men were no more than forty feet
apart.  There were no outside
distractions.  If it’s that easy for the
human brain to misinterpret the frequency of sound, it’s no wonder that the accuracy
during communication with those no longer in physical form can waver a bit.

I’m reminded of that Sprint commercial that showed a pin
falling onto a hard surface.  That’s the
kind of auditory clarity I strive to achieve when I attune to those on the
other side.  But last night’s lecture
with the ranger taught me more than the subject of the ranger’s presentation.  It taught me that even though some of us are
blessed to be able to hear, see, and sense those no longer in a body, mediums
are human too.
