John Sloan on mediumship development.

Excerpt from private sitting:
(John Sloan is a Spirit person - he talks through Paul with his own voice using an internalised ectoplasmic voice box)

Question: If I asked you where you are in relation to me physically, are you closer to me or back with the medium?

John Sloan
It doesn’t matter, does it? When I’m moving around, I do not move in the same space as you in your physical life.

Question: When we see lights what can that mean in a sitting?

John Sloan
The only thing that’s significant is when we come and speak, everything else is a byproduct. You don’t worry about the sparkle; you don’t worry about anything because the human mind will grab hold of it and then try and control the energy so spirits can’t come through. You cannot be involved in your own mediumship it just does not work that way.

Question We have had a lot of conversations about what constitutes good evidence of spirit what is your opinion " a definitive statement" ?

John Sloan
Use common sense, what can you feel, what can you sense, what information is coming through?

Question: all people can rely on when they are developing is how they feel it limits their experience if a spirit is not developed their medium enough to speak.

John Sloan
Most dangerous time for a medium is when no one is talking, and they just accept any personality. 
How do you know if something is not right? so a medium would know and feel like something isn’t right, they aren’t prepared to slow down, they rush...

The other thing is mediums actually refuse to let spirits speak through them, they are too concerned about what people think.
