Notes about Mediumship III – The Awakening
Undoubtedly, the awakening of mediumship is a remarkable stage in the life of any medium, the vast majority do not accept the sensations they perceive, some take months, most years and others end their lives without accepting their mediumistic sensitivity. The more force one makes to control mediumship, or rather, to smother it, the more painful is its awakening. Some "pretend" by lying to themselves and claiming copiously that they don't feel "those things". The reasons that lead the medium to do this are usually fear, anxiety, stubbornness or shame. There are no physical signs that differentiate a person with mediumistic sensitivity from another who does not have it to an advanced degree, so, unlike what many movies and magazines claim, the medium is not that old, disfigured or one-eyed person, mediums are people with normal appearances and habits.
Currently, the mediums who work in Umbanda Spiritualist Temples or Spiritist Centers are people from our family or from our professional environment. Being a medium is not being abnormal or different, it is having an ability to be developed and dedicated to others. To better exemplify mediumship and its awakening, improvement, use in favor of others and continuity of work, let's make an analogy to the birth of a turtle. The chicks must "break" the egg that holds them, ALONE. This must happen at night, in the dark, otherwise they will be easy targets for predators, as their hooves still do not protect them. They have just been born and must walk towards a focus of light that they do not know (the sea is always the brightest part, it is the place where they will be safe). They must run, because if they don't reach the water before dawn, they will be breakfast for their predators. When they arrive in the water they become more agile, however, they are still the target of numerous predators. That's why very few turtles survive. However, as they grow they become beautiful creatures, protected by a very hard shell, they become huge.
