DWQA QuestionsCategory: Channeling PitfallsConcetta Bertoldi, a professional psychic medium of some repute, wrote a book titled, “Do Dead People Watch You Shower? And Other Questions You’ve Been All but Dying to Ask a Medium.” This book appears to be a remarkable autobiography, and rare opportunity for non-mediums (most of humanity) to read what it’s like to have and live one’s life with these abilities. Not everything she shares in the book aligns with everything Creator has shared with us in the GetWisdom Project, but more so by omission than any statements and revelations that wildly conflict. Like the rest of us, she seems clearly limited by her beliefs in terms of what she can reliably access from the divine realm in terms of deeper truths, but when focused solely on interacting with the dead, and relaying messages from the dead, she appears to be in strong alignment. She referred to herself as, “Just your average Jersey girl who talks to the dead.” What is Creator’s perspective?

Your understanding of her persona is an accurate one. She was indeed down to earth and able to keep her ego under control. That is a quite important asset if one is wanting to be an accurate psychic medium, or channeler, for that matter. It is an important capability for one to be successful at any endeavor. It helps keep the person honest about their ability so they will continue to strive and not rest on laurels unearned as yet but presumed to be greater and more magnificent than really the case. Too much ego puts others off, and rightly so, and will hamper interpersonal relationships in many regards. Intuitive sensing is a delicate perception, it is easily thwarted and compromised if one is too self‑serving or too fearful. There are many pitfalls in receiving accurate information as well as staying safe in opening oneself up to higher awareness when there are many dark forces at work, who will be watching for such an outreach and then will pounce, because it is often the case people invite an encounter with dark beings who will penetrate and possess them as a parasite if they are unaware this can happen. Her work was focused on talking with the dead because that was a capability she had naturally from birth and was open to see what she could learn from it and, indeed, came to see the value in sharing her observations with others and in being a medium for communication between the dead and the living. This is a very helpful role to play. It is often the case that witnessing paranormal phenomena that is convincing will overcome barriers to belief in higher states of being, and higher realms of being, and higher beings above the human, all of which can add to one's belief quotient that is all-important in cultivating a divine partnership in life. Without belief, you will be on your own, it is the key to the kingdom, so to speak. While she was mostly accurate about her perceptions, in a general sense, they were limited, indeed, by her level of understanding and beliefs about what was possible. And also, the meaning of what she perceived and was told was filtered by her expectations and her beliefs as well. This is true of everyone responding to what their senses convey, not a flaw in her character. This is unavoidable as each person is who they are, and not someone else or some composite of what is considered "normal," as there is no such thing embodied in an actual person. All are facets, very much like a stew, with many differing ingredients, capabilities, and therefore outcomes in all they do. She was not a scientist concerned about mechanistic aspects, nor was she deeply curious about the workings of the divine and wanting to understand more deeply the details about the phenomena she bumped into, so that is reflected in what she saw and understood and was able to relate to others.
