Well here I go again with more neck sticking outing! Well I guess the first and easist answer to this one is some people who are mediums just don't want to practice. I have found that mainly with men. I have a dear friend of mine who greets me at the door with "I see you bought your friends with you old girl," and then he can tell me who! Other than that he won't have any of it, "I just shut 'em out he says." There are more people in the world who have mediumistic tendencies than don't. Yep! That is what I am told.
The reason I posed the question though was not for such an obvious answer and I suppose what I really meant was "Why not all mediums should be or can be readers."
To answer this we have to hang out in the mortal world because even though we are receiving from the spook planet we still have to join the dots. We all have different personalities, everyone knows if I am asked a question you are going to get the answer, my spooks are rapid fire and to the point. Sometimes I know I am a bit direct and some clients don't really like this or worse, it doesn't do them any good but you can't do a full psychological assessment on someone before you read for them! Some people like the upfront approach though as I must admit I don't talk much about anything other than the spook talk and they do the talking. If you ask me and my spooks if your bum looks big in something then you will get a straight answer. If you are wearing a size ten when you are really a fourteen, they are gonna tell you straight up and I am going to pass it on. Get the picture? So in this case there are times where people may be fragile and I deliver my reading with a big whammo and probably shouldn't. So it's not that I shouldn't be a reader it's that I should be careful because my intrinsic personality is to be dead straight and out with it.
The other issue is impartiality. You have to remember when you have a reading that we don't live in your world or your reality. You say po-tarto and I say po-tato, that kind of thing. So if we don't have the ability to detach and give what we get in context we can send people (accidentally) off on a wild goose chase, worry them or cause issues that weren't there in the first place. So you see to be a medium you also have to be very aware of other people and their feelings and more importantly be able to control your own.
Another issue (sigh) is the old ego thing. We all have ego and without it we wouldn't get out of bed in the morning. The fact is though that some mediums enjoy the "look at me" factor "look how right I am" rather than the "I hope this helps." As Chilly and I were saying this morning, if you are a medium and you have to advertise or self promote based on how good you are...get a job in Coles instead because eventually spook will either take your ego to talk or you will fall over because of it. BUT we should not confuse ego with self confidence. Two different things although both are just as appropriate under some cirsumstances as they are inappropriate under others. People who are really fanning their tail feathers (thanks Percy) as the driving force simply should not be doing it in my view, because once you are blinded by ego and the need for recognition it gets out of control and you tend to forget where you came from. I can't tell you how many people when I was working in publishing the last time would tell me they wanted to be "the next John Edward." They want the money and the fame not his life. How can they want what he has he is such a private man that you have no idea what he has other than money, fame a wife and two kids really. Ego at work again. Show me the money is a really bad place for a medium to start from. We should all remember that John started accidentally, he didn't actually ask for it or hope for it!
Some people shouldn't be mediums because they aren't. If a medium struggles or get's a lot of bad feedback, has to spend more on advertising than they make then there is something wrong too and the universe is saying "this is not for you."
I'm not saying I make the rules I am just saying in the new wave of the new age everyone wants to be a medium and we probably all could be if life's individual circumstances allowed it. But like every profession, many more can learn it than should be doing it. I have no plans to be a medium for the rest of my life.
