Ep 31 A Conversation With World-Renowned Medium Paul Jacobs - Part 1
Paul Jacobs is a world-renowned medium. He studied at and taught at the Arthur Findlay College in England, the premier college for spirituality and mediumship studies. I’m extremely honored that Paul was kind enough to do this interview. If you’re skeptical about mediumship, please listen in with an open heart - I think Paul will open you up to a new way of looking at the Spirit world and the gifts it has for us. He’s had a fascinating and rich history with mediumship and spirituality, about which he shared openly in our conversation.
Our conversation lasted well over an hour. I’ll release part 2 next week, so stay tuned for the rest of the conversation! Here are a few of the highlights from Part 1 of our chat:
- Why he only speaks from his own experience in mediumship, and not things he’s read
- Why he considers himself to be the “Reluctant Medium”
- How his search for the reality of God led him to mediumship and the Spirit world
- Why being a “Reluctant Medium” helped him grow as a medium
- A peek into some of his private conversations with Gordon Higginson, his mentor and the then-Principal of the Arthur Findlay College
- The message he received from the Spirit world about being a full-time medium
- The role personal responsibility takes in the choices we make
- The intention I always set before I have a reading with a medium
- The reading where Paul received the message he needed to hear, but not the one he wanted to hear
- What he tells aspiring mediums about meeting the needs of the client and the Spirit world
- The difference between psychic readings and mediumship readings
- Why the term “psychic medium” is really a misnomer
- The different roles of the Soul in psychic readings and in mediumship readings
- Why we all have psychic abilities, but we don’t all have mediumship abilities
- Why we don’t develop mediumship - and what we can develop instead
- Why being a medium is not the only way to be of service (this one is particularly important for bereaved parents)
- The importance of intent and motivation in mediumship
- The true purpose of mediumship (hint: it isn’t what most people think it is)
- What Gordon Higginson told him about the materialistic side of mediumship
- Why it’s so important for bereaved parents to maintain a balance between wanting to connect spiritually and living their present physical lives
- What he tells bereaved parents the reason their child in Spirit may not be happy
- How the concept of eternity can assist us on our grief journey
- Why bereaved parents don’t need to worry about things they feel their children missed out on in this life
This episode was so rich and full of insightful information. It’s a particularly important episode for bereaved parents who are trying to develop mediumship abilities.
