Do you believe there's another realm and medium's can tap into it?

[Julia2016]

I do. I believe the energy of the dead never dies, it is with us but in another realm. Sometimes it comes through to our realm. AIBU?

I am a bit sceptical about medium's though. Interested to hear other people's view on this.

No, I think that's absolute nonsense. We have one life, this is the only chance we get, make the most of it. Death is the end. After that people live on only in other people's memories. Mediums are charlatans preying on the bereaved. This is what I believe.

No. I think mediums are very good at picking up on peoples vulnerabilities and exploiting them.

Mediums are some of the foulest people- lying charlatans picking on vulnerable people for money. They can go in the bin

Mediums are charlatans who prey on the bereaved. I don’t believe anyone has the ability to communicate with the dead, and furthermore, I believe all consciousness stops with death.

I do believe that the spirit lives on and walks amongst us. I often feel my dad around me. I go to a spiritualist church and it does bring me comfort.

I prefer the happy ones

mediums are con artists and prey on the vulnerable and grieving. It's a whole industry often with researchers employed.

No I think mediums are charlatans.

No. It's a nice idea that many understandably want to invest belief in.

The energy from the dead will be decomposed by bacterial activity, thus recycling energy into the environment as heat and other chemical potential forms of energy. Or alternatively will turn to heat and light energy if burned.

Whatever, the energy will remain in this "realm"

Absolutely not

There are multiple awards available to anyone who can prove it, yet none have been claimed

It's just a way of controlling you and taking your money

They irritate me so I like to strike them

As for mediums...I think they are either exploitative and arrogant (most), or deluded (a few).

No.

I think people can believe what they want if it makes them feel better, but truly, it is completely bonkers.

No.

I don't know if there's anything after death or if we "go" somewhere else. I came very close to dying a couple of years ago and I know in the period where it was touch and go I felt very peaceful but it could just as easily be argued that this is due to organs shutting down and the brain doing it's best to protect itself by ditching out a load of 'calm the fuck down' hormones. I guess we'll all find out eventually, one way or the other.

As for mediums, they're opportunists who make money off the back of other people's beliefs and are very skilled at manipulation. I do t think they're communicating with another realm, I think they're just very good at reading people and interpreting tells. It's highly unethical and I always think less of people who claim to have a connection to any sort of "spirit world" as they invariably use that connection as an excuse for bullshit.

It was a joke

Bless you, I know.
Haven't you heard of the phrase "Striking a happy medium"?
See?
Mine was a joke too.

This

I used to be a sad large person, but now I am a happy medium.

But in answer to your OP, no, I think this life is it, we are just biology, and once we are dead, that's it.

All mediums tap into is other peoples vulnerabilities and wallets

Mediums are evil people who prey on the bereaved.

An oldie but a goodie.

No, OP, mediums are opportunists who prey on the vulnerable and/or hard of thinking. The energy of a living body dissipates into the surrounding environment after death.
