Hello everyone,
Continuing the series on spiritualism and possession I interviewed medium Mike Williamson. Mike was by his own account 'an ordinary guy with no interest in spiritualism' (he thought it was just 'cranks trying to make money off people'.), until an injury to his daughters foot led him to a spiritual healer. This began a journey into the world of mediumship.
Mike specialises in facilitating confused earthbound spirits to move along, as well as combating the ones who are deliberately sticking around tormenting people. Much like Jerry Marzinsky, he also sees possession as the cause of a lot of schizophrenia.
Questions that arose for me from this interview:
Mike got into this area this area through spiritualist groups and his experience fits with their teaching. I am left to wonder is this because the teaching are objectively true or because it appears to people in the way they expect. Had Mike become interested in UFOs would he have had a fundamentally different type of experience?
Mike agrees with basically everyone I've spoken to on this topic, in saying that the spirit realm has the power to deceive us. For Mike, we are overwhelmingly (perhaps exclusively) dealing with human spirits, but these humans can pull on the masks of demons if they want to scare us. This is a reversal of the Fundamentalist Christian idea that it is demons pretending to be humans to entrap us.
Mike has a Minoan guide. I ask what relationship the guide has to that identity, having been 'dead' for four thousand years. I also ask if the guide expresses any interest in history. Mike states they are not really interested in such things but that the Minoan has told him they used to trade with Atlantis. I think that's highly revealing answer, I'm just not sure what it reveals.
Where as Jerry Marzinsky's experience of the spirit realm was quite negative and Clare Broad's was overwhelmingly positive, Mike's is mixed. Similarly to Clare's, he finds security from deception in a felt sense of the goodness of the spirit he's interacting with.
