Hi MrsT,
Hmmm, I have doubts about contacting him so soon and pretty much giving him no time to rest although I do believe they only contact us when they are ready to and it wouldn't happen at all unless he did and secondly about Derek Acorah's ego in getting involved in this kind of gimmicky performance.

I have long suspected that Derek Acorah's ability has been diminishing and he is going to greater lengths to remain in the public eye doing what he used to do well.
Aside from everything that went wrong for him when he was doing Most Haunted I personally had doubts when he started pronouncing names the way they were written and not as they were spoken. If the spirit of someone was making contact with him you'd expect them to say their names correctly.

If I were a good psychic I wouldn't touch this subject with Michael Jackson unless it was private and requested by the family.

Still..... if it was on tv I'd probably tune in to see how genuine it felt.

Has it been on yet and have you seen it or will you ?

Hi Owly,

It gets worse! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/twitter/6314882/Tweance-the-Twitter-seance-aims-to-contact-Michael-Jackson.html

I think its only going to provide more fuel for the skeptics, Derek could just look up information on line and just say it was being told him from spirit so it wouldn't be a credible reading. Your right everything I have read says you can't just contact anyone they contact you when they are ready, if they want to at all.

I do think your right he is losing his ability and playing up for the cameras, Sylvia Browne is another one. Maybe they are losing the ability because fame and fortune has become more important than providing proof to people about spirit so the ability is lost iyswim.

Derek is probaby just jumping on the band wagon as haven't heard from him for a while. Its almost making a joke of things. I think Michael should be left alone until he wishes to make contact with his family (if he hasn't already, none of our business really as its private) or they feel ready to go to a reputable medium to see about making contact with him.

I'm not sure when its on probably would watch it too lol
Hope you and your mum are ok

Hi Mrs T,
I hadn't even considered how easy it would be to find stuff out about Michael Jackson. It's just conjures up images of bandwagons and coat-tails not to mention leeches.

It could be the psychics are losing their ability because of the fame. I have wondered if it's because they are meant to take a break for a while to recharge. They would be afraid to stop in case they lose it altogether but they're risking it more by continuing if they are meant to rest.

It must be difficult if it's their only source of income but they must get money from books and other things although I don't know how much. It probably depends on their lifestyles and that brings us back to them losing their ability because of the fame and trappings.

I would think that becoming more materialistic would be the opposite direction to spirituality.

Someone else who claims to be a friend of Michael Jackson is Uri Gellar but I'm not entirely convinced that Michael was as much of a friend as Uri liked to be thought of as.
I'm sure I remember something about Michael rebuffing him but he still seemed to hang around Michael.

Hugs

Hi Owly,

Maybe it was already decided before birth that there is a window of opportunity where a medium can be a medium but that gift goes after a certain period as the job they were meant to do has been done. Like mediumship is one of your tasks to do while on earth iyswim? and once you've done your bit you can focus on something else to help you progress.

Your break idea sounds right too maybe mediumship puts alot of strain on the physical body and by pushing it you risk losing it. Sort of like training for the london marathon you have to train and build up but if you over do it you risk being injured and not being able to carry on.

Funny you mention Uri Geller I did have a look to see what he thought about this but have come across nothing yet and would have thought he would have wanted to be involved.
