I believe in mediums, but how come you people don’t claim the big cash prizes that are offered for proof?

[Clane01654]

I just don’t get why some of you wouldn’t claim the money.

Money is the root of all evil

[NothingIsReal42]

My Higher Self has told me that I can have abundance but never through big cash prizes or lotto. Reason being is that 1. It’s more trouble than its worth – it would lead to spiritual problems because of karma and 2. That I wouldn’t want my energy tied to something like the lotto because think about all the ppl who waste away their money and their energies trying to win – its a lot of suffering that goes into making the lotto happen.

I’ve been led to abundance before just at the right times in life to assist me in “leveling up.” Had I been given abundance at another time in life and I would have squandered it away.

You can garner proof that our abilites are real in so many other, simpler ways than through the lotto.

Reading all the explanations here is really interesting cause my answer would simply have been „it feels wrong“

Like how I can do an accurate tarot reading but can’t predict lottery numbers. It’s just…something.

I feel like there are „rules“ every person working with the paranormal just naturally knows. And this is part of it. You don’t get big cash with your gift.

there is a simple reason why i don’t want the money why the hell should i . i was gonna ask this question myself but in my personal opinion its not worth it the world would kill you pretty fast i would have all kinds of werid people knocking on my door and im not a attention seeker i try and hide from attention for this reason . all the werid people are the reason why i don’t want to .

[Dkinives]

Because for me, money is not the reason I use or want the gifts. I want it for scientific accuracy or knowledge myself. I’ve tested my mediumship on things that if the right people knew about I could make some money, but its never been about that for me. For me its science. I literally use my gifts to help others grow theirs, especially dealing with history. That is good enough for me.

ETA: I’m also still not at the level where I can come up with something on demand. The few times I did, I had material to focus on, be it shows in the future, or articles about things. I dont touch missing persons or murder cases (outside of really famous ones that have been researched tremendously by others I can verify things after) for that reason as those deal with a lot of variables, and I’ve seen a lot purportedly good mediums fall with that. I’m still at the level where I wont get much but when I do something, its always powerful and something they need to hear or clarify, and I feel there are strength in those powers being that way. Like the feeling, someone is always quiet but when they speak up, you know its something you need to hear or pay attention too.

For myself it feels wrong to take money for what little I do know.

[AdventurousSky6413]

Because I have nothing to prove. Other people’s skepticism or lack of belief, is not mine to carry or process. Accepting people’s money to offer proof is an ego based game that deviates from what this is about.

[AnaAlesea]

Because those kind of superficial winnings aren’t the most rewarding thing on the planet. Having a client come to me, hurting, grieving and mourning and leaving at ease, comfortable and satisfied is just as gratifying as winning some huge prize. A lot of variables go into the lottery winnings too, the type of abundance most of us will work on achieving are personal accolades. Wealth means different things to different people, but to people like myself who communicate off of energy or vibration the gift to see behind the veil can’t be bought, so the lottery has already been won

[kunquiz]

You reference the randi challenge. It just was a publicity stunt.
He would not accept everybody and the rules changed a lot.
You can inform yourself and see that it was just entertainment.
They even had a dude on tv with a Kung-Fu costume who said he could use telekinesis and just blew small stuff away lol.

So the whole thing was never serious.

If you want evidence read the published research, a few google searches will help you find quality material.
Is it proof? No but the evidence is really good by serious mediums and researchers.

[Ilavenya]

Because even an earthquake won’t wake them up, and because ALL incarnations are planned in advance before we incarnate. If it’s not supposed to happen, then it simply won’t.

[grimorg80]

Wait a second. I see so many people here saying they don’t do it because they don’t want to mingle with obsessive debunkers.

Really? Just that? Ego?

You mean you feel like you could scientifically prove you can talk to spirits and won’t do it because “you can’t stand them”?

Talk about selfishness.

If I could, I would absolutely do it. The value such a revelation would have for humanity seriously transcends your personal preferences.

Now… If you said that in such circumstances you won’t be able to perform… That’s another topic, and worth of consideration. But people who go about saying “oh yeah, I’m a total medium, always on” should at least consider it for the good of humanity.

Or maybe not. What do I know. The above is my first reaction, but I appreciate it might be just my own ego talking.

[Venustarr_777]

I would like to undergo a certain type of testing under some type of interactive technology with my abilities under no stress conditions as an experiment. I think it would be pretty cool.

[Jenn54]

Money is energy, it is a tangible transfer for your time and effort. I am not a medium but I imagine that using a gift for personal gain would either attract a negative attachment that would feel ‘owed’ or even like they had a right to be around or the karma would come around against a medium for using a gift for ‘selfish’ reasons (you said a large sum not a little bit to help with x)

But Im just guessing, maybe they do win?
