I thought it might be interesting to report on my experience visiting a spiritual church for the first time? The visiting medium was the supposedly amazing Darren Brittain. I was told to get there as early as possible, as it would be chock full, the church has maybe fifteen regulars but they were expecting well over a hundred that night. Darren arrived around an hour before kick off at 6:30 , I was there chatting to the church president from around 5:30, he was a nice old fella, I felt he was unusually honest in his views about the mediums. He hoped the Darren would stay with his feet planted like he had been when he last visited, unlike some others he mentioned. He said I had picked the right night to come, the service would last an hour, till 8:30 more or less.
Darren appeared out of his private room shortly after 7:30 looking sprightly and appropriately dressed in jacket & jeans. After a short prayer he talked about what we would be doing and asked if there were any 'first timers' in the crowd, around a dozen of us put our hands up. He gets voices in his right ear and sees them on his left when they appear to him, he gets smells and other senses on occasion. He gets energies in the form of 'tingles' when he senses the right person has made contact.
He started talking about a 'young man with a head injury' who had passed in a motor bike accident and quickly picked out a young woman in the assembly who was associated. He seemed to 'get' some connections stronger than others, getting accurate hits when at other times he seemed to raise names or places or events which didn't obviously click with anyone. I know it's selfish but I felt a bit bored when he found his next connection - and it wasn't me ! He spent around 5- 10 mins on each person that he connected with, so maybe 10 people got meaningful connections, I was aware that an hour would go really quickly at that rate. His pace of delivery was very fast when he was in full flight, but frustratingly slow when he was trying to find his targets at times.
Now being a 'believer' but at the same time being sceptical of individuals I don't know, I felt that it might be mind blowing if I was the one receiving one of the rare 'strong connection' type informations, but to be honest it was quite boring hearing about 'Aunty Anne's silver necklace that she's showing me' or whatever. I think it would be worth having a one to one with him, because if he got a good connection and if he's genuine it might change your life ? I have not had good experiences with mediums myself, or rather psychics, charging quite large sums for minimal results - you don't know if the guy is having an off day or laughing his head off inwardly? I'm an unusual Scotsman in this regard according to the public view,(but not in my own experience)in that I'm not that bothered about money, I've always had an 'easy come - easy go' approach, so I don't lose sleep over such things.
My impression overall was that of a willing crowd and a favourite( good looking) showman, he didn't have to try that hard to impress anyone, and wasn't that bothered either way by his own admission. The afterlife appears to be much the same as life here, people don't seem to be that different, which lends creedance to my own beliefs, and to Darren's genuineness. Maybe he and others can connect with some levels quite nearby, but other higher(or lower) levels remain largely ' unseen' - who knows.
He lives less than an hour's drive from me, I might see if a one to one might be on, depending how much he charges. I feel like a gambler trying one last throw of the dice to win the big one before he can relax - we all know it never works that way. By the way he got around £300 for last night, and that's cheap, others charge double that or more.
