Demystifying Mediumship

Demystifying Mediumship

Demystifying Mediumship; what makes a medium? In 2012, Kerry Alderuccio lost her 19-year-old son, Sam, in a tragic car accident. Until that moment, she'd been oblivious to the world of mediums, psychics and healers.Kerry couldn't accept that death was the final act of life and six weeks after Sam's passing, she saw a medium for the first time. As she'd hoped, Sam was there to communicate with his parents, and a whole new world opened up for Kerry. On a quest to learn more about mediumship, Kerry joined a spiritual development circle in her hometown of Melbourne, where a whole new world of previously unknown possibilities became apparent. As a result, Kerry discovered her own latent mediumistic abilities, and her search took her to the United Kingdom where she began studying mediumship at the world-renowned Arthur Findlay College.This personal discovery made Kerry question why mediumship was universally misunderstood and it's healing powers often overlooked. An unexplained mystery surrounded the practice of mediumship and Kerry wanted to explore the misconceptions and fallacies associated with it.To answer this question, Kerry reached out to seventeen respected mediums from different countries, ages and backgrounds to share their own unique stories of how their mediumship journeys unfolded. Demystifying Mediumship is the product of those conversations. It details powerful stories of personal loss, pain, sexuality, alcoholism, religion and escape, as well as love and hope. It sensitively tells their stories and the catalyst that led each of them to discovering their gifts.Kerry skilfully explains mediumship as a practice, helping readers to understand this ancient form of communication with the Spirit world. Demystifying Mediumship; what makes a medium? seeks to explain a topic that is too often shrouded in scepticism and misunderstanding, and leaves you in awe of what is truly possible.

William James in Russian Culture

Editors Joan Grossman and Ruth Rischin pose to their contributors an intriguing question: What happens when the ideas of a thinker like William James, who--despite his originality--was deeply rooted in American traditions, are refracted through a culture that draws on a heritage profoundly different from his own? Including studies of reception and interpretation of James's major works and analyses of the impact of his own philosophy on certain Russian writers and thinkers, William James in Russian Culture reveals striking parallels among and divergences between the intellectual and the spiritual realms.
