Why can’t the Spirit World provide full names all the time in their communications?

We must try to understand that the spirit body does not have a physical voice box as we have and they do live in another sort of dimension called by many names including heaven. It can be an immense task for them to place recognisable information into the mind of a medium.

By using pictures, feelings and what I sometimes call living thoughts they try to get the right message to our side of life. For instance, you will often hear a medium saying something like ‘Its either Stephen or Stephanie because very often they are able to get the ‘Steph’ thought in but not always the ending of the word.

Similarly, if when giving a road the first part might be clear but the ending less so. I remember giving a message to a lady saying its Green something. I was half expecting her to say its Green Lane or Greenfields Lane. She just smiled with surprise and said ‘my surname is Green’. We
both laughed.

It is my firm belief that one day we will all fully accept the reality of the continuation of the living soul. All forms of communication have their difficulties. If we try and understand it from the spirit loved one’s point of view rather than a sometimes-limited opinion on this side of life, we might be then able to work with their attempts rather than against them.

Mediums have made the conscious choice to devote part of their lives to be both a channel and bridge between worlds. Although the public performers are well known, there are countless others who serve in Spiritualist Churches day-in and day-out, wishing to bring comfort to the bereaved. For all genuine mediums, that is their best and most meaningful reward!
