The medium, <strong>Bill Burns<\/strong>, settled down, and after some standard spirit-possession twitches went into trance and summoned the spirits of <strong>Marilyn Monroe<\/strong> and <strong>Andy Kaufman.<\/strong> The spirits rambled on about how &#8220;<em>I remember this and that<\/em>.&#8221; but when the s\u00e9ance was over, <strong>Burns<\/strong> explained that the spirits are always confused when they&#8217;re contacted because &#8220;<em>memory is the first thing to leave the spirit when you die<\/em>.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A better class of dead people are contacted regularly by<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnedward.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Edward<\/a>, <span style=\"color: #000000;\">whose &#8220;<strong>Crossing Over<\/strong>&#8221; TV show regularly features quite intelligible spirits.<!--more--><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I found that review when I was looking for a link to the video and thought it was perfect.\u00a0 That website is now down. Everything Burns said at the seance was very general and vague.\u00a0 His actual verbatim line was &#8220;<em>the first thing to go is memory<\/em>.&#8221;\u00a0<strong> <span style=\"color: #800080;\">I suppose that was to explain the lack of details he was able to give, because that&#8217;s completely NOT true and that&#8217;s how you know whether a medium is really connected to your loved one in Spirit or not. <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Because they DO remember, they DO know the details, details you may even have forgotten, but can verify by going through old family records or photos.\u00a0 <strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">If the medium cannot give you specifics, they do NOT have a connection with your party, plain and simple.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Attending the seance were <strong>Marilyn Monroe<\/strong>&#8216;s first husband,<strong> Jim Dougherty<\/strong>, as well as<strong> Andy Kaufman<\/strong>&#8216;s friend <strong>Bob Zmuda<\/strong> and <strong>Kaufman<\/strong>&#8216;s girlfriend<strong> Lynn Margulies<\/strong>, both connected to the entertainment industry.\u00a0 Absolutely nothing remarkable or even specific was said, yet the after-story is that <em>the reading blew these folks away with their accuracy<\/em>.\u00a0 And <strong>Jim Dougherty<\/strong>, in his 80&#8217;s, well, bless his heart anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Why do I care?\u00a0<\/strong> For one, many of these self proclaimed psychics and mediums may indeed have a gift, but they don&#8217;t trust themselves enough to get out of their own way and develop it.\u00a0 They&#8217;d rather give pre-packaged readings because most people settle for them.\u00a0 When the truth is, if the medium would simply wait to speak until they&#8217;ve made a real connection, what they can give their client is a more authentic, fuller experience.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And maybe surprise themselves with actually making contact, perhaps for the first time. But they don&#8217;t trust that they can actually do it, so they speak before they have made the connection.\u00a0 And if they are speaking, they are not listening.\u00a0 And if they&#8217;re not listening, they are not connected, plain and simple.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another reason is that if someone is seeking real answers and real comfort and don&#8217;t get it, they will walk away thinking it is not possible, that is it not really available.\u00a0 That really does a disservice to those who are seriously seeking guidance.\u00a0 Or does it?\u00a0 Don&#8217;t we attract what we get?\u00a0 Doesn&#8217;t that include attracting someone less than qualified to help us figure it out?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">My experience is that if I settle for the little sip of Truth, then that is all I will get.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">When I ask the bigger questions and seek a longer drink to quench a deeper thirst, then I get that.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">If I settle for very broad, general, vague readings, that&#8217;s all I&#8217;ll ever get because that&#8217;s all I will attract.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">And I always know what my vibrational point of attraction is because the evidence is showing up in front of me every minute of every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So do I want to go to the ocean with a thimble or a big bucket?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Because that is the part I am in charge of.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=2924\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seven Sample Psychic Readings, Which Would You Choose?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>After note: After this post, I got several &#8220;comments&#8221; by people directing you to their website so they could teach you how to be intuitive or develop your gifts, for fees ranging in the hundreds to thousands of dollars.\u00a0 I know not to just trust some random sales pitch from someone who knows how to write a good press release.\u00a0 While I agree that training in focus and non resistance is essential, I think too much emphasis is often placed on learning specific techniques. Like anyone can pick up a bicycle and learn to get from point A to point B with it. Or you can train to be Lance Armstrong and do it technically perfect.\u00a0 But you both get from point A to point B, just someone spent lots more time and money learning about it.\u00a0 In my experience, often it is many years after someone has finished their &#8220;training&#8221; and gotten away from it that their gifts are able to come out. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Like anything else, you use the method to learn, then drop the method to do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I&#8217;m just saying<\/span><\/p>\n<p>RELATED: \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/?p=6835\">Still seeking referrals for psychic readers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/just-watched-a-seance-with-andy-kaufman-and-marilyn-monroe-how-can-you-know-if-a-psychic-medium-is-really-connected-to-your-loved-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=A &#8220;Seance&#8221; with Andy Kaufman and Marilyn Monroe; How Can You Know if a Psychic Medium is Really Connected To Your Loved One?&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/just-watched-a-seance-with-andy-kaufman-and-marilyn-monroe-how-can-you-know-if-a-psychic-medium-is-really-connected-to-your-loved-one\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/just-watched-a-seance-with-andy-kaufman-and-marilyn-monroe-how-can-you-know-if-a-psychic-medium-is-really-connected-to-your-loved-one\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/just-watched-a-seance-with-andy-kaufman-and-marilyn-monroe-how-can-you-know-if-a-psychic-medium-is-really-connected-to-your-loved-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=A%20&#8220;Seance&#8221;%20with%20Andy%20Kaufman%20and%20Marilyn%20Monroe;%20How%20Can%20You%20Know%20if%20a%20Psychic%20Medium%20is%20Really%20Connected%20To%20Your%20Loved%20One?&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20http:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/just-watched-a-seance-with-andy-kaufman-and-marilyn-monroe-how-can-you-know-if-a-psychic-medium-is-really-connected-to-your-loved-one\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just watched a segment of a rerun from Fox TV&#8217;s Powers of the Paranormal reality show with self proclaimed Hollywood psychic Bill Burns.\u00a0 One online review said &#8220;In May of 2000, the American Fox TV network broadcast a two-hour special, &#8220;Powers Of The Paranormal: Live On Stage,&#8221; which included the &#8220;s\u00e9ance of the century&#8221;.
