Most mediumship students are eager to rapidly progress through their development. They are brimming with questions and enthusiasm, thirsty to soak up knowledge and experiences. I love their excitement and enjoy being part of their journey.
Occasionally, I come across students who want all their questions answered right now --- they are impatient and they don't want to wait to learn the answers for themselves at the developmentally appropriate time for them.
As a result, they are expecting a year or two of studying (or sometimes just a few workshops) to make them into a bonafide medium. I call this instant mashed potatoes thinking. Sure you can add water, stir, and you have instant mashed potatoes --- but they TASTE awful!
Like most good things in life, REAL mashed potatoes take time --- you have to wash, peel, & cut the potatoes, then boil them in water for a while, drain the water, mash them up, add butter, milk, salt & pepper for creamy texture and flavor. Then, you have some GREAT TASTING mashed potatoes. The process takes longer, but it's worth it!
I do feel that it is possible for some people to progress rapidly and well. This is where right practice and intention come into play. If you wish to be a good professional medium, it is important to cultivate good mediumship habits, have patience regarding your progress, and keep awareness of the sacred part of you strong.
So keep this in mind as you make your choices for learning and practicing mediumship.
