Course Description
The course will cover the basics of spiritual contact as well as technical tools available for ghost identification. A primary focus of the course is gaining an understanding and awareness of after-life theories, and methods to attain the personal transformation necessary to become a more sensitive and perceptive to the energies we are seeking to understand.
Course Motivation
The mysteries of the paranormal:
Age old questions:
There is no study that can begin to answer these questions with any real authority. It is only in the individual experience of each of us that determines what is true, and truth is quite subjective. However, enough people have experienced paranormal activity that we know there is something beyond the physical.
Why do we care?
Furthering the research into this fascinating field of study is an honorable and important endeavor. We all want to understand what, so far, has not been explainable. Therefore, aside from the exciting aspect of finding ghostly evidence, we may be providing a great service to humanity by furthering the study of the paranormal. After all, would our lives not be a bit easier if we knew what to expect after death?

Respect:
Is paranormal investigation right for you?
Most people who want to investigate the paranormal would like to enhance their sensitivity to the vibrations of other realms. While some are more sensitive than others, a true medium is able to perceive messages and information from the world of spirit, and these sensitivities can be heightened with practice.
As you develop the skills of mediumship, you may be faced with tasks you did not expect. Contacting those who have gone on is, by all accounts, generally a pleasant and positive experience. However, the spiritual world, in its denser levels, can occasionally be just as brutal and confusing as our own physical world. Be sure you are ready to face these challenges, whatever they might be.
Examine your motives.
In addition to a desire to further the body of research into this field, perhaps it is important to contact those who have passed in order to soothe our grief and to reassure ourselves that life continues beyond the earthly body. Whatever motivates your particular interest in this field, it is advisable to be clear about it. Because "like attracts like," if your motives are connected with fear, anger, the need for recognition, or other less desirable emotions, it is possible to attract into your life some energies which are not welcome.
Current ghost-busting television shows have encouraged thousands of people to explore the field of paranormal investigation. However, as the TAPS people demonstrate, they have kept their day-jobs as plumbers, and they are only a small minority of investigators who have been tapped for a television series.
Further, most organized societies and associations of paranormal study around the country do not charge for the services they provide. Spiritual work deals with a different currency than that of our dollars and, as most mediums might confirm, it not necessarily appropriate to charge for your services beyond the basic costs of the investigation. Donations are likely to be offered, but should not be expected. Therefore, a major consideration is whether it makes sense to take time from a paying occupation to pursue this interest. Paranormal investigations must be performed as an act of honor, concern, and goodwill as opposed to a service one performs for profit.
