Mediumship and the Science of Consciousness: Bridging Intuition and Evidence

For most of my life, I believed I just had an overactive imagination. I would see images in my mind, hear phrases or names out of nowhere, or feel the presence of people who weren’t physically there. I dismissed it. I didn’t understand it—until I began receiving details about people who had passed that I couldn’t have known. Verifiable details. Personal stories. Information that was later confirmed by their living loved ones.
Once I understood that these experiences were not imagined, everything changed. I began giving mediumship readings professionally—blind, with no information provided to me ahead of time. Thousands of readings later, the pattern continues: specific, evidential, and deeply meaningful connections between the living and the departed.
The more I’ve explored this ability, the more I’ve come to believe that what we call “mediumship” is not supernatural. It’s natural—and likely a part of the human experience that science is only beginning to understand.
The Spirit World as a Frequency
I don’t believe the spirit world is far away. I believe it exists right here—alongside us—but on a frequency most people aren’t tuned into. We already know that human perception is extremely limited:
The eye can detect only a sliver of the electromagnetic spectrum (about 0.0035%).
Our ears hear just a narrow band of frequencies.
We are surrounded by waves—infrared, ultraviolet, radio, gamma—that we can’t see or feel, yet we use them every day in technologies like Wi-Fi, X-rays, and satellite communication.
Just because we cannot perceive something with our five senses doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. The spirit world may exist on a higher or parallel frequency, much like a radio station broadcasting a signal we aren’t tuned to.
Scientific Concepts That May Support Mediumship
Here are four major areas of scientific research that may provide a foundation for how mediumship works:
1. Consciousness May Not Be Produced by the BrainOne of the most revolutionary ideas in neuroscience is the possibility that consciousness is not generated by the brain but received or filtered by it. This theory—often compared to how a radio or TV picks up signals—suggests that consciousness exists beyond the physical body.
This concept has deep roots in philosophy and modern physics. Researchers like Dr. Bernardo Kastrup and organizations such as the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) explore the idea that consciousness is fundamental—not a byproduct of biology, but a primary aspect of the universe.
In this framework, mediumship is simply the brain entering a receptive state where information from nonlocal consciousness—such as that of the deceased—can be accessed.
2. Brainwave States and Expanded PerceptionWhen people enter deep meditative or trance-like states, their brainwave activity shifts, particularly into alpha and thetastates:
Alpha waves (8–12 Hz): Associated with relaxed awareness, heightened intuition, and creative flow.
Theta waves (4–8 Hz): Linked to deep meditation, memory access, and dream-like imagery.
Mediums, remote viewers, and intuitive practitioners often enter these states naturally before or during their work. EEG research shows that these brainwave patterns open access to non-ordinary states of awareness, where information not available in waking consciousness becomes clear.
It’s in this state that I receive words, names, impressions, and emotional messages from spirit. I don’t “think” them. They arrive. Like tuning into a broadcast that’s already playing.
3. Multidimensional Reality and Quantum PhysicsTheoretical physics continues to challenge our understanding of space and time:
String theory posits that there are multiple dimensions beyond the familiar three of space and one of time.
Quantum entanglement shows that particles can affect each other instantly across great distances—suggesting that space is not as separate as it seems.
The Many Worlds Interpretation implies that multiple realities may exist in parallel.
These ideas support the possibility that the spirit world operates on another dimension—interwoven with our own, yet not visible in the same way. Just as a two-dimensional being would not perceive a three-dimensional object fully, we may not perceive the full structure of reality—or the presence of consciousness after death.
4. Anomalous Experiences Suggest Consciousness SurvivesAcross cultures and time, humans have reported near-death experiences (NDEs), shared death experiences, and other spontaneous contact with the deceased. Many of these experiences involve:
Meetings with deceased loved ones
Accurate perceptions of events while clinically unconscious
Profound feelings of love, peace, and connection
Dr. Sam Parnia’s work with cardiac arrest survivors and Dr. Bruce Greyson’s decades of research into NDEs have added credibility to these reports. These aren’t hallucinations—they often involve verifiable information.
I’ve seen similar patterns in mediumship. People report a visceral sense of connection, validation, and healing. They hear the exact words their loved one used. They feel known. These aren't vague affirmations—they're emotionally and evidentially specific.
Mediumship as Conscious Tuning
What if mediumship is simply a form of tuning—shifting awareness, like changing a channel or adjusting a frequency?
We already know that humans are more sensitive and perceptive under certain conditions. Just as trained musicians can detect subtle changes in pitch, mediums may be sensitive to nonlocal signals—messages from people who no longer inhabit physical bodies but continue to exist as consciousness.
This ability may not be supernatural at all. It may be a human potential—one that some develop through experience, intention, and a deep attunement to subtle information.
An Invitation to Stay Curious
You don’t have to reject science to believe in life after death. In fact, many scientific fields are beginning to validate what people have felt intuitively for generations—that consciousness may be nonlocal, multidimensional, and enduring.
I invite you to explore with curiosity:
Read the research.
Question what you’ve been taught.
Reflect on your own experiences.
Stay open to what may exist just beyond the edges of perception.
We don’t have all the answers. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t something real happening.
If consciousness continues, and if love is a form of energy, maybe it’s true:Nothing—no one—is ever truly gone.Just transformed.
