Is it ethical for a medium to hold a session to contact a world-famous mega-star on the Earth plane who is now in the spirit world? That's very recently deceased? On TV? It's something to think about. According to Paranormal Review, it appears that Derek Acorah, a television medium, is going to be doing exactly that, in November, regarding Micheal Jackson. Two shows, Michael Jackson: The Live Séance and Michael Jackson: The Search For His Spirit. I think that courting the millions of fans around the world who want to hear from Michael Jackson this way, particularly since he is so recently deceased, brings a lot of pressure that no one should want to deal with. Pressure from a lot of different sides. Pressure from TV people to ensure it's successful. Pressure from fans, particularly if it fails. Pressure from skeptics and the cynics, whether it succeeds or fails. And we haven't talked about pressure on the medium to establish contact. In the world of mediumship, very few if any mediums can simply "get anybody they want" in the spirit world. It just doesn't work that way. Trying to contact Micheal Jackson at this point, especially in a very public way, does not cast a good light on the subject of mediumship. If you want to see mediumship in a better light, read yesterday's post .
