4. Oh, and one more thing

In mediumship, there's a thing they call "verification." It means the spirit comes back in some way to verify you received the message correctly.

We do a similar thing in interpersonal communication, the field in which I taught for many decades. It's often referred to as feedback and can go like this: "If I understand you correctly, you're saying (paraphrase of what the person said)."

This is the way to test your understanding of the person's message and to let them know how closely you are listening (or not).

The next day I was working at my desk and an email from my friend came in. I read the first sentence or two of a paragraph but at that point didn't understand what the paragraph was about. I started getting a feeling and then I had a full-blown feeling of a presence (I get a physical reaction when a spirit is present or communicating). As I read the rest of her paragraph, which was about whether this incident really was her husband, I knew it was he, visiting me to verify.
