  2.4 Supernatural Ability  
  Article 53-Mediumship  
  Canon 2296  
  Mediumship is the claimed ability of a person to establish, experience and recall certain contacts with spirits of the deceased, or other spirit entities. A person said to have the ability of mediumship is referred to as a medium.  
  Canon 2297  
  There are two types of mediumship: Genuine and Theatrical. Genuine Mediumship is when a medium genuinely is able to connect and recall facts, contacts and personal messages from deceased minds. Theatrical Mediumship is overwhelmingly the most common form of medium that uses techniques of manipulation, auto-suggestion and natural patterns to suggest a connection when none exists.  
  Canon 2298  
  As existence itself is unique collective awareness in motion, everything is mind in motion; therefore the concept of Genuine Mediumship does not contravene any Natural Laws, nor Divine Law or Positive Law.  
  Canon 2299  
  Any genuine communication through mediumship is through mind suggestions, which may be expressed as metaphor, allegory, image, perceived audio, taste, feeling, smell and even daydreaming. A medium may believe such information to have physical manifestation, but all information remains interpretation of mind.  
  Canon 2300  
  Any person claiming medium status who also claims to summons the dead, or see the dead, or imply the dead are embracing their loved ones is almost certainly a Theatrical Medium.  
  Canon 2301  
  The paradox of mediumship is that a Professional Theatrical Medium can provide greater level of comfort and personal satisfaction to an audience than a genuine but poorly trained medium, even though such a show by a theatrical medium is predicated on fraud. This is because the best professional theatrical mediums know reinforcement of positive belief, validation of hope and closure of regrets are all necessary qualities of healing that far outweigh proving genuine psychic ability.
