What can you expect from the ASSMPI?
The American Society for Standards in Mediumship and Psychical Investigation is unique in its approach to mediumship and its associated practices. As well as setting standards in all areas of mediumship, we hope that we can be of value in spreading the work of the spirit by sharing knowledge on many scales. The ASSMPI will act as a teaching medium to impart knowledge and lessons from the world of spirit as well as ensuring the highest ethical standards are maintained.The ASSMPI will remain apolitical and will not enter into fool hardy arguments with those of Psuedoskeptical dispositions and will instead remain as an open learning organization to those who wish to follow the path of the spirit with an open mind and more importantly an open heart.
We aim to conduct our own investigations into physical mediumship and other forms of mediumship to adjoin the science and spiritual aspects of the same.
More importantly, the ASSMPI is non profit and will actively engage in fund raising practices to support good causes.
The Future and the ASSMPI
We are very young in our growth, but we hope that we will make slow steady progress over the coming years. We aim to establish a full time office in the USA, where we can administer the ASSMPI work. We will also be looking to develop a publishing arm and will give professionals a voice. As well as our accreditation tests and workshops, we will aim to begin an outreach program. How this will take shape is being discussed at the moment.There will be seance and trance events throughout the year as well as our yearly conference or Bi annual conference. Our magazine will be developed and we aim to make a difference in peoples lives.
ASSMPI Mediumship Standards
Standards are what sets the ASSMPI apart from all other organizations. We have, through our years of cumulative experience - a set of protocols that are set by spirit and adhere to what real trance, mental and physical mediumship is. For too long many have failed to listen to the world of spirit and standards have slipped with many individuals believing that they are in trance and are definitely not. Spirit need standards that allow the real message of the etheric beings to be passed successfully to our world in order to prove that life is eternal.Even science has imposed too many limitations on what is and what is not acceptable mediumship evidence and often the message is diluted or missed completely. Spirit are reaching out once more so that we may listen again. It is our duty within the ASSMPI to listen to spirit and work tirelessly to pass on the training, the messages and the love that those in the spirit wish to impart. The individuals involved in this organization have this same goal in mind and work without ego and to be of service to humanity.
Psychical Research
This was the last major interview with Montague Keen before he passed away. Within one month of Montague passing away, his wife reported to American parapsychology expert Gary Schwartz that the spirit of Montague had spoken to her. This event was evidence in itself that our personalities survive the death of the physical body. Montague Keen is here talking about the Society for Psychical Research which was formed in 1882 by a group of scientists, philosophers and poets assosciated with Trinity College Cambridge. Together with a group of spiritualists they set about to investigate the paranormal
Research Projects
The research projects the ASSMPI will initiate are on various subjects. The first subjects of interest will be based on the following;Trance communication
Possession and Poltergeist activity
Evidential Communication from guides and spiritual teachers.
Research Funding
We hope that eventually, we will be able to support research into various projects regarding mediumship and psychical investigation. This will be announced as and when the board has the requisite funding to award out to research groups. The funding will be available by application as when the ASSMPI is stable enough to support this. Funding will be given by application only.Apologies for the delay in bringing you the David Thompson Seance Report by Dr Hogan. It is available now to members.
