David The Medium

I am a psychic medium, which means that I have the ability to communicate with the deceased. I allow spirit to also use my brain like a library. So if someone had a heart attack, my heart will get sore. If I had Alzheimer's or dementia, I'll get cloudiness in the mind. But before we come to Earth, I say that our life is essentially pre-written. So the key events, the key themes are already planned because that's what our soul knew it has to come here for to learn, experience, grow, and evolve.

Spirit never tells them when they're going to depart the physical world because we're just simply not meant to.

Personally, I do. Absolutely. But I'll start off by saying like it's not necessarily wrong. We're just evolving our opinions as we go along. So like anything in life, the more exposure you have to it, if you have direct experience with it, like it does change your mindset around it. Maybe atheists haven't had experiences with people that can communicate with those that have crossed over, uh, directly. Uh, and I'm a big believer of seen as believing. So yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I went into that reading as a skeptic, but I was also open to it. And during the reading, you said things that you could not possibly know. And I've had, I've seen psychics before, and I'm like, "Yeah, you could have guessed that. You could have guessed that." But with yours, it was so thorough and precise. It's almost impossible to guess.

Yeah. Well, first of all, thank you for the compliment because it's great to hear feedback like that. I don't necessarily get all feedback from readings that I do, but yeah. So I am a psychic medium, which means that I have the ability to communicate with the deceased. So our loved ones, our family, our friends, uh, that have since departed what I call the physical world, being Earth. Uh, and I'm also a psychic, which means that I can foresee and predict future timeline events. So not only for your own life, about maybe, uh, certain events or timelines that are coming up, but I can also do it for world events. Uh, and I see, hear, and feel. So to translate that, when I see spirit, I whatever environment I'm in when I'm reading, if I close my eyes and focus in, suddenly there's people around you. I can't see them like I'm seeing you right now. Uh, but I see home movies in my head. Uh, I allow spirits to also use my brain like a library. So they will bring up things, uh, that are symbolic or relevant to me. Uh, there's certain symbols that they can show me, and it's a game of translation. Like I know what they mean if they show me that. Uh, hearing, I can hear their voice. Uh, like sometimes I'll hear them as clearly like they're sounding right next to me. Sometimes it sounds like they're in the room yelling at me. Sometimes I use my own inner voice, but I can also hear music. I can hear motorcycles if they rode a motorcycle. Uh, and I don't remember what the third one was. Feeling. Uh, feeling. I feel their emotions. Uh, if they were going through tough times on things, I'll feel the emotion attached to that. But, uh, I also physically feel it. So, if someone had a heart attack, my heart will get sore. If I had Alzheimer's or dementia, I'll get cloudiness in the mind. Uh, and I do also like to say that I do have the bonus packs, like the add-on additions of being able to smell and taste. So, if someone was a smoker, I can, uh, taste it. Uh, certain foods, certain cologne, perfumes. Um, vaping is good. It's nice to see that vaping's coming in a bit more prevalent because everyone used to smoke, and now I'm getting spirits that used to vape, so it tastes a lot better. I've gone from tobacco to like raspberry swirl, so it's much nicer. But, it's all energy and it just all combines. And, uh, I always say to everyone, I'm not something that's completely unique, uh, just to me. Like every single person, I believe has the ability to be able to do what I do.

It's everything. Yeah. So it's past, present, and future. They will touch on the past, uh, because a lot of us have things that maybe we hold on to from the past or a lot of things that require healing or even just a different perspective or a viewpoint that maybe we didn't see at the time. Uh, so spirit can touch on that with the aim of wanting to help heal, evolve through, and clear, uh, and help us evolve. Uh, they will touch on the present because obviously there's things going on in our life as of this moment. Uh, and the future they will touch on, uh, in terms of being able to provide clarity and guidance, but spirit never tells us anything, uh, if it would change how we would go about it or how we would think about it. Uh, so for example, like just pretend you're a single man. If I said to you, "Okay, Nick, you're going to meet the girl of your dreams in October. Her name starts with J," you would change everything you would do from this moment onwards. And you're not meant to because I say the whole reason we're on this planet is that life is a classroom for the soul. The soul had to come here because there's experiences it has to go through, lessons it has to learn. Uh, and if we know everything that's going to happen, it's kind of like getting the answers to the exam before you sit the subject. So life is for living at the same time.

So they will tell me things if it helps provide guidance or clarity to what the person's already going through or what they're already thinking. They can also tell you things if it doesn't necessarily change the outcome either. So for example, uh, even recently, I think I might have even mentioned it to you to be fair, but I've told, uh, people to avoid using e-scooters.

Oh, good. Okay. Well, avoid using scooters.

No. Okay. Yeah. So well, you definitely do things to have a longer life maybe in that sense, but you can't delay the inevitable. Uh, so to translate that, like before our soul comes to Earth, and I can appreciate this is a very deep conversation to have, uh, for listeners and maybe even yourself for people that don't have, you know, day-to-day experience with this, but before we come to Earth, I say that our life is essentially pre-written. So the key events, the key themes are already planned because that's what our soul knew it has to come here for to learn, experience, grow, and evolve. Obviously, we're born into the human experience. We don't know what we're doing next week. Even as a psychic, I can't tell you what I'm doing next. The key events in our life, including the moment that we cross over, is already pre-written. Uh, and a lot of people maybe sometimes have conflict with that within, but I always say the key events that may be planned out, we still have free will over...

We still have free will over how we get to that event. Yes. So there's infinite amount of possibilities, but it's like a triangle. Whatever path you choose will all still end up in the same point.

In some ways, yes. I mean, they won't necessarily talk about accidents if the accident is serious because again, unfortunately, there's things that we have to learn in that by going through the event. Uh, I've definitely guided CEOs, business people on business decisions. Uh, and yeah, I mean, it's just life guidance. It's think of any topic and spirit can definitely touch on it with you. Most of the time when we are talking about it, it's sort of revalidating or reconfirming what your or whoever I'm reading for is already thinking. Uh, so it's more so that sort of just confirmation that you are on the right track or you are making the right decisions. Uh, they can sometimes give extra insights, uh, that can then make you change your decisions, uh, in certain ways, but it's not going to be drastic. Yeah, can be actually, I say that, but yeah, hopefully that makes sense.

Yeah, it's a great question because I, my whole motto and my whole sort of purpose in life that I see is to let everyone that I come into contact with leave with the undeniable proof that their loved ones are still around them. Uh, that the going through the physical concept of death hasn't separated us in any way. Yeah. It just, it's this energy transformation. Like we were in a physical body and now we're not. Doesn't cease to exist. Uh, so I want everybody to be able to talk to their loved ones because it's one thing to go to a medium who may be reputable or may have a, you know, a a good sort of experience, but we don't need to necessarily see mediums to continue that bond with our loved ones. If we can still talk to them, you can talk to them out loud. You can talk to them in your head, but start start allowing them to show you that they're around you. Uh, you know, whether it's in signs, music, song, uh, you know, symbolism. Uh, but it just shows that if you can test them for one of a better phrase and allow them to show you that they're there, then that can provide an immense amount of not only healing, but comfort to people. Um, that sort of extra sense of guidance. Uh, and it just helps break the barrier down between us and what we consider to be another world.

Yeah. I mean, and again, like it's I say with everything, if we look for a sign in everything, then nothing is a sign. Like if you're walking around outside and you're like, "I want to see a bird." Like, no [expletive]. You're probably going to see a bird. You know what I mean? So ask for something really specific. Ask for something that's very specific to your loved one or something that you know that they can't easily give you. So whether that's a song, a smell, a symbol, a bird again, like, you know, it could be even feathers. Like I, for my own personal experience, I found feathers in the most ridiculous places where there shouldn't be feathers. Uh, you know, to use one example, my brother and I were, uh, traveling in Zimbabwe of all places, and we had a really bad day. Like everything was just going wrong. And I used to wear glasses full-time before I got laser eye surgery. And I was speaking to my mom that night. She goes, "Just go to bed. You know, tomorrow is a new day." And I remember taking off my glasses, putting them in my glasses case. And my mom had asked my grandmother, uh, for a sign to just, you know, show me that the boys have been looked after by you. And I woke up that morning, opened up my glasses case, and there was a feather on top of my glasses. Like again, there's no logical way. And the human side of us always looks for a logical explanation or understanding. Uh, so again, on that I now want everyone to change their perspective on it because through western culture and western understandings around crossing over and death, we see it as something that is scary. And of course from the human perspective, like it does for us with grief. No one wants our loved ones to cross over. I'm a medium. I still would miss them. I still grieve for them. But I do want to change the understanding, the perspective of signs that we can leave. I want everyone now to start having conversations with their loved ones who are already in Earth with us. Like have a conversation with your wife, with your parents about like, "Okay, if and when you cross over, I want you to show me this sign." So then when they...

Yeah. Essentially. But you know, we should never wait until our loved ones do cross over to wonder if things are a sign from them. We should set the intention with them now. So then when we do see that unbelievably random song that's playing on the Coles radio that we haven't heard for 20 years and suddenly we're hearing it a week after they cross over, then we can be like, "Okay, thank you."

Yeah. So, at the foundation, no soul is intrinsically evil or negative. Uh, when we come to Earth, obviously our human experience can create incredibly negative experiences. But, uh, once the soul departs the physical world, it doesn't take that with it. Because the way that I want everyone to look at it, our soul is like an actor and when we come to Earth, we're a character. Uh, so to use the TV show Friends, for example, 'cause Spirit actually started using the TV show Friends. It's a great analogy, 'cause even if you didn't watch it, you know it. But like Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox, they're the souls. They stepped onto the set. They went on to Earth. They became Jennif, um, Rachel and Monica. And Rachel and Monica were on set and they had their lives and they had their triumphs and tragedies as their characters. But if Rachel and Monica were to fight in the TV show Friends, Jennifer and Courtney don't then continue that fight off-set. To them, it's completely irrelevant. It's not them. And the soul's exactly the same. So when someone on Earth does something that's incredibly devastating, evil, causes harm to someone else. Adolf Hitler, we discussed this. Adolf Hitler is a, you know, a great example because he had an incredible impact on the 20th century, uh, and was, you know, directly and indirectly responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of people. But then what we then look at it from a spiritual perspective, okay, that was the role that he played and the impact that he had on everyone else's soul journey. Yeah.

It's question. Well, I mean, by now he's definitely crossed over. He then doesn't continue that in the afterlife because again, that was the role that he played on Earth and in it was incredibly immense role, but it taught obviously his whole journey a lot and everyone who was impacted by it taught them a lot. Uh, and that's the thing. So when our loved ones look over us in spirit, for example, and you know, I think I said this to you the other day, if you were to say to me, "Oh, Dave, like, I've murdered four people and I'm a drug dealer and I, you know, I'm going to go in jail." Your loved ones in spirit aren't judging you or they're not ashamed of you. Uh, the human elements of them might be, you know what I mean, but they're not human anymore. They would look at that and be like, "Okay, so what lessons is Nick learning in this? What's the impact that he's having on Earth?" It's not absolving you of responsibility. It's not saying that it's, "Oh, okay, you know, we forgive you." It's the element of like we look at the bigger picture because this is the character that you're playing and the impact that it's having. What's that teaching your soul and what's that teaching everyone that comes into contact with you?

Well, this is the thing, because like, it's so funny, 'cause I always say to everyone, 99% of the time, I'm David and 1% I'm David the medium. They are the same person. Absolutely. But like, it's like tuning in a radio frequency and it switches my brain levels to different states. When I come on a podcast, like I can appreciate people might like David, but they're not having David on the podcast, having David the medium on the podcast. So when I step into certain environments, it's kind of like, "Okay, the David the medium mask goes on my face," and I'm suddenly David the medium. So as I sat down in here, like I knew I was coming on your podcast as a guest as David the medium. My brain had already kind of switched.

Kind of. "Game mode" is the easy way to describe it. Yeah. But as soon as I stand up and walk out there, I'll be back to being David. Okay. And it is, for me, it's very easy to interchange it 'cause I'm obviously I'm the same person and David the medium is not a completely different Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde character. It's me.

I said, "Well, I saw it in my head." So it's kind of like I saw Braden on a river fishing. Like he's like, "Yeah, the name John was also there as well."

I said the surprise when I got that right. There is no way you could know that. Is there, Braden?

Yeah. Yeah. I was going to say, can you do a, please, a bit of a test for us?

Yeah. Yeah. And that's obviously a nice little test just then and there. That's what they wanted to show you before you asked me if that makes sense. So if that was one, is that that was something that you wanted to do during this reading, I mean, not like, you know, like a test, but to show an example of it. If know that you want to do that, we'll do it before you even get to the point of asking.

So even with my clients, sometimes we'll sit down, they've obviously booked for a reason. When it goes into my calendar, they might have booked through my website. I only see their, um, it comes in as their first name and the first letter of their surname. Yeah. So, I don't know anything about them. I don't even have their mobile numbers or emails or anything like that. But when people book readings, they will come obviously for a reason. Like, they're not paying to come and talk about the weather with me. Yeah. But spirit will instantly go into talking about what's on their mind. Like, they don't have the prompt, which is always really cool 'cause it just shows that there's still connection outside of seeing someone like me.

For me, 99% of the time, people just want to know their loved ones are okay. Because irregardless of what our relationship was like with them in the physical world or how they crossed over, we grieve for them. We miss them. We want to know that not only that they're still around us or if we can have proof that they're with us, but we also want to hear that they're at peace. We want to know that they're okay 'cause we still love them and they're still exactly who we remember. Uh, so you know, grief, healing, trauma. I don't like using the word closure because it's not closure. It's more so the closure of a chapter, more so than, you know, the finite. But spirit also goes into then talking about everything in life. So we'll talk about relationships, work, career aspects, self-growth, self-healing. Like it's like a chat with a therapist, a careers counselor, a grief counselor, a jobs guide, all in one.

No. So, I don't have a filter, so I'll say whatever spirit says because I decided very early on in my journey that it wasn't for me to filter the information. Like, if I'm feeling, sensing, or hearing something, like I can be diplomatic about it, but I'm not going to stop saying it if that makes sense. So even when I've read for people that are terminally unwell, spirit never tells them when they're going to depart the physical world because we're just simply not meant to know because again, it would still change how we think and how we go about our day by day. Uh, and spirit always says, it's everything that happens before that moment and then again everything that happens after that moment. The actual physical crossing over, that you as we call it death. It's irrelevant to them because the analogy that I use, uh, like, you know, you're a man in your 40s now. Do you ever go back? Do you know where the very first car you ever drove is? No. Do you even know what happened to it? Like, do you have any idea?

Yellow Mazda six, uh, six, uh, something. Yeah. But yes. Yeah. So spirit looks at its physical body exactly the same. You know, the soul is the driver and the body is the car. And you know, when we have a car that breaks down or we get rid of a car, our life doesn't end. We move forward. We move on. We get a new car every now and then. Uh, so the soul looks at its body the same. Just because the body's broken doesn't mean that I've suddenly ceased to exist. I've just moved to a different area.

Indirectly, absolutely. So, one of the biggest misconceptions I think people think about me is they think that I'm probably speaking to my loved ones all the time. I actually can't feel them at all. So, and the way that I translate that, like my mom is one of my best friends. My maternal grandmother was like a second mother to me. Uh, and I would talk to my grandmother all the time. I'm not meant to be because I'm still meant to be living my life. If my mom, god forbid, was to cross over and, you know, natural life says that she will before me anyway. But again, I would spend my whole life talking in my head with her. Uh, but when I'm sitting down with clients, uh, and I'm reading for them, there's always life lessons that I gain from it because the lessons that they're going through are still relevant to me. And then spirit says makes them see it from a different perspective or helps them with advice or guidance on how to get through certain issues. And I'm like, "Well, I needed to hear that." So I take it on board. So it's been, you know, I'm still grown. I'm still healing on everything myself. I'm a 38-year-old who's been a psychic since I was 24. Like that's a, you know, a 14, 15 year journey now for me, but there's still things I'm learning every day not only about myself but also about my ability.

Well, first of all, I say every single person can do what I do because we're all souls having a human experience. We're not humans having a spiritual awakening or a spiritual experience. Like I say, everyone can sing. Not everyone sounds like Pavarotti. Some people are natural, optic singers, and some people might need lessons, but either way, if you do it long enough, you'll be able to do it. So, um, for me, my background, uh, was actually corporate. So, I worked in, uh, corporate law from, uh, 18 to 30. My last inverted commas proper job was actually criminal prosecution for the federal government. Uh, and I was a very black and white stereotypical man, really, in my early 20s. Like what I say is what I got. If I didn't say it didn't exist. Like I was into politics, economics, like working in for a law firm. Uh, and pretty obnoxious, but not really if that makes sense. And I just started a new job and I was having really deep conversations with a colleague who I'd known for 10 seconds about like the universe and spirituality. And she said to me, "Have you ever been to a medium?" And I was like, "Not really. Like I don't really believe in it." Like it wasn't for me to say it wasn't real. I hadn't had experience with it. But I was a skeptic. I wasn't raised religious. I didn't have a view of the afterlife. I never saw, felt, or heard spirit as a child or anything like that. I had very strong intuition as a teenager. I assumed everyone did. It's only in hindsight. I was like, "Oh, you know, mine was probably a bit more cluey than most." Uh, but anyway, I went and saw this medium and it was in the suburbs of Melbourne, just, you know, round at her house. Uh, and the stuff that she was saying to me again, kind of blew my mind away. Like for accounting conversations I've had with my grandfather that again, like kind of like our experience. We could sit there for 100 years. You're not going to know it. Yeah. And 10 minutes into it, she says, "You realize you can do this?" I was like, "No way." And she says, "I thought you knew, but obviously I'm the more that we're talking, the more I'm realizing this is literally your first ever experience with it." And long story short, she ran a mentoring class and she says, "I want you to come along." And I was like, "Okay." Like I was still obnoxious about it. Like I was like, "Oh, you're right about literally everything else, but you're wrong about this." Like I'm still not I'm not mean. But I had a curiosity around it. Uh, and you know, as I said, it wasn't for me to say it wasn't. I didn't know. And lo and behold, went along to her, uh, uh, workshop on the couch in Bur on a Wednesday night. Like it was very casual. Like seven or, uh, eight of us in the class. And turns out in that environment, uh, when she said, "Get up in front of the room and whatever you say or want to say, whatever you feel, whatever you sense, whatever you hear, just pass it on. Like you're fine." Like this is, "If you don't feel anything, that's also okay." I remember getting up in front of the room and connected with, yeah, this guy who, um, was like six foot nine and died of a heart attack. And I felt like a really tall man who had a pain in the chest. I was like, "Okay, something's going on." And obviously that then sparked the create the interest and the curiosity and the creativity for me. And I was like, "I need to do this every day now. I love this."

True. Yeah.

Reconditioned.

And you, when we're looking at mediums in pop culture, it's never positive. Like if you watch a movie with a medium in it, they're not helping people or guiding people. They're usually, it's about paranormal activity or The Sixth Sense. Like it scares people. Um, you know, there's religious aspects that comes into it with their viewpoints of, uh, you know, uh, the the afterlife and mediumship. So and then there was my parents' input on life and you know, they're very supportive of me as a psychic medium, but I was also taught at a younger age, you work, you do your nine to five, you get your mortgage, you get married, you know, all that life because that's what their parents had told them. That's what society has taught us. So then I was still working in corporate for a good six years while also working as a medium on the side. And I had a security clearance with the federal government, but I never told them I could talk to the deceased because you can only imagine how that would have gone.

Um, but then I, it took a lot of, I was hesitant to break out, but I never saw it as like a a soul journey for me. For me, I was still going to work in homeland security. And if I read some people on the side, it was great. But then I realized the impact, uh, that connection had for people. Uh, and when I was reading for people and, you know, I could see firsthand in that moment the emotional release they were having or the closure that they were giving themselves on certain aspects to know that their loved ones were still around them and the peace that that brings, the healing energy that that brings. And I was like, "No, this is something that I need to do." And then it was, uh, 2016 and my job was probably the most toxic environment I could ever be in. Shout out to everyone at that office. Hope you're all good. Um, and I basically quit on the spot. It was either that or get fired for something that wasn't even my fault, but that's another story. I'll tell you. And I was still studying counterterrorism. I just moved to Port Melbourne. I was unemployed, nearly 30. And I was like, "What am I doing?" And then I started having people that I'd read, 'cause I used to read maybe one or two a week on the weekends or evenings. And I started having people message me and they're like, "Are you ever free during the day?" I was like, "Well, actually, I am now because I'm [expletive] not doing anything." And then it just really exploded from there. And then whilst I was building, you know, reading a few people a day even, I still had that mindset, "Well, I actually still look for a part-time job 'cause I still needed that security and I still needed that salary and that, you know, that condition, the comfort."

And then I said to myself, and it was really funny 'cause I also had a psychic tell me, um, like when I was 25, she goes, "Oh, you'll have your dream job at 30." And I had no idea what that was at that time. Maybe again I thought it was counterterrorism or something like that. And I said to myself, this was, you know, early 2017. And I said, "Okay, if I can be, you know, booked out two weeks ahead, I'll feel like that I made it." And I'll be like, "Okay, this is something I can do." Yeah. And two weeks before I turned 30, I was booked out two weeks ahead.

And I was like, "Okay, this is it. I'll give this a go." And then, amazing. And then within 18 months, like my weight list was like two years long. So I was like, "Okay, this is it." And I love it.

Well, I actually stopped keeping a wait list in 2021. Yes. Uh, and even in 2021, it was like, yeah, two years ahead. So, I was like, "No, this is it's unsustainable."

I would if they approached me. I don't see it as my job to get involved, uh, just for the sake of it because I don't want to give anyone false hope or lead anyone down the garden path or anything like that. But if the police were to approach me, absolutely.

Yeah. Well, yeah, that's it. But I have, um, I mean, I do I have talked about this before, so it's okay, but I have helped find missing people before. Uh, there was one instance of a boy who actually went missing, uh, in Mount Disappointment of all places. Uh, and yeah, I had, uh, old clients of mine that were actually on the search party and they're like, "We're all out of options. He's been gone for you know, three, four days." Uh, and I looked at the map and yeah, we were able to find him.

Part of it. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, they were obviously doing all the heavy lifting, but I sort of gave them an air. I was like, "Have you checked here?" And they're like, "Not yet." I'm like, "Give it a go." And and there he was. Yeah. Well, um, for privacy, I won't say too much about him just 'cause his family might even hear it. But basically, uh, he would have seen the lights of the search party. So then in the morning, um, they were in that area, but he was on the side of the road 'cause they reckon he must have followed the lights. Uh, but I tuned in and I could hear running water and I felt like I was walking downhill. So I was like, "Okay." So looking at the the topography, I'm like, "Where's the river and where's the hill?" That was the area.

And I'm not going to say that I can do that for everyone. Like maybe I don't really think it was a fluke, but can I do it for everybody in case? Maybe.

Well, that's it. So, but for me, it has to be an energetic boundary. So, I don't want to, you know, for any missing case, I'm not going to then sit at home all afternoon and tune in on it and then contact the police and be like, "Oh, here you go. Here you like, you know, they've got their job. They're the professionals at the same time as well." But if if anyone wants to approach me, I'm, you know, if I have the ability to be able to help, of course, I want to.

Yeah. Well, put it this way. Like, I mean, heaven and hell are religious concepts. And I, I'm I'm such a, um, I have such respect for a lot of the religious tenets because of the way it guides our life or helps us see the afterlife. But I believe that when we depart the physical world, Earth like our lives now, we do go to a version of what we would consider to be heaven. Like it's incredibly peaceful. Everyone's together irregardless of religion. Uh, but it's not the final spot. Uh, and I do believe that some souls, if not all souls, can be reincarnated. I've done past life regression. I've seen lives that I've been in before this one. Uh, but I also believe that maybe they do transcend to another dimension again. Maybe they don't come back to Earth. Uh, what that looks like, I'm not sure because I haven't been there. Yeah. Uh, I don't believe that a soul, uh, can be eternally condemned to hell. Yeah. Because again, that just doesn't make sense. Uh, even from a, you know, the spiritual sense. Uh, and a lot of people actually think Earth is hell because of the challenges it can give us and the the, I mean, I personally don't believe it 'cause I'm having a good life so far.

But we created it. That's a whole journey. But, uh, so yeah, the concept of how we would understand hell based on pop culture or religious belief, I don't agree with or believe in. Uh, the elements of heaven closely correlates with what I would feel, but yeah, it's not the final spot.

Yeah. I say, I love being able to talk about it because even when I was learning how to be a psychic or a medium or even hearing the terms manifestation, I would listen to podcasts or watch people on YouTube and it just made no sense. Like the spiritual ego that some people have to make everything sound so impossible to understand. Uh, so then I wanted to branch off into it to help explain it to people in a really simple way. And essentially, manifestation is the ability through your thoughts, behaviors, and actions to energetically connect and attract with something. Science understands it like the energy field will have positive and negatives that attract each other. Uh, science understands the body has an energy field. Uh, so it's the way that I describe it. what, you know, whatever you're wanting to attract into your life is already attracted to you because as we mentioned before, there's infinite amount of possibilities. Like nothing is, you know, locked in essentially. Uh, and if you attach your thoughts and your energy to it and then shape your life around creating a space for it to come into you, it will, uh, with whatever you're seeking. Really is like, obviously being realistic, but, uh, yeah, nothing's off-limits and we can have the ability to create our life around it.

Well, that's it. And one of the most important things for everyone to remember when it comes to manifestations, it's actually an emotional feeling behind it because that's the difference between wishful thinking and actually attracting. So, even in your life, uh, you know, maybe growing up on a farm and then becoming, you know, the man that you are now, okay, it's not impossible, of course, but it's not necessarily what people would say is a natural evolution.

But if you have the belief that I'm going to be able to do this and I'm going to work towards it, you know, the biggest thing that we find in Australia and also New Zealand is the tall poppy syndrome. Uh, where we don't want people to be successful, at least not more successful than us. Uh, or people that are aspirational or ambitious are suddenly deemed as unworthy or they're obnoxious bastards. You know, that's how we for the most part society tends to view it. So when you're able to break through that and you believe that, "No, I am deserving. I'm going to work for it. I can do it," and I'm not going to align with anything in my life that doesn't align with that goal. And then you emotionally connect with it. So I tell everyone, "You know what the best thing is with wanting to attract into your life? Imagine it as being a part of your life already, but then focus on how does it actually make you feel?" Like what are the emotions that that's bringing up in you? The comfort, the peace, the happiness, the ecstatic, the the drive. Because that is sort of like you've got to imagine like a cord coming out of you and that's connecting with something in the universe. And eventually these things are going to connect. So, it's all energy.

It is all energy.

Not at all. Because, you know, as we were kind of saying before, I have the ability to tune my frequency in. So, when I'm, you know, not, you know, inverted commas reading, I go back to being David. And my boundaries are incredibly strong. So, spirit's respectful of that as well. They know when I'm connecting and when I'm not interested. Uh, but you know, I've got a high frequency and I raise my boundaries. So, I can walk down the street and I'm not going to feel anything. Some mediums can, but it's also not good spiritual practice either because, you know, like if you're a PT, are you walking down the street doing lunges? No. Like, that's the thing. We can't do everything that we're doing 24/7. Yeah.

I, Yeah. Well, in without even knowing, uh, or know, or being consciously aware of it, I connect with people's energy. Absolutely. So, within milliseconds, I know if I like them or not.

But that's the same thing. Like, just because I maybe don't bond with someone doesn't mean that they're unbondable. Other people will.

Well, that's the thing 'cause everyone, and again, science understands this, the body has an energy field that we project. Yeah. Now from my perspective, part of that field is our emotions, our energy, our frequency. And some people through nature maybe have bad practice. So they're projecting a quite low frequency that I just don't want to interact with. Now a lot of people, essentially all of us, we, you know, no one is necessarily completely unique either. So the circumstances that we're going through, the people that we are, there are other people like us in the world. So then when I feel that, I'm like, "Wow, okay. Well, that's the experience I've had with those kind of people. Like, it's it's very like I give everyone an opportunity, of course. Like, and have I been wrong on my opinion. You know, that's the thing. Everyone's worthy of still being listened to and getting in the time, but like the energy doesn't lie.

Yeah, most of, I mean, for me, it's ones that I identify with personally. So, you know, when I was studying counterterrorism, to have people that have died in terrorist attacks, um, is always crazy. Um, there's been a few people, um, including one of our mutual connections, Dr. Sarah Jane, uh, who I look at is not human. Uh, so when I've read them, uh, even those that have crossed over in spirit, I was like, "I don't know how they ever got to Earth." And their loved ones like, "Yeah, there was something about them." They always stick with me. Um, but then unfortunately, there's, you know, devastating readings that stick with me. So, uh, parents that have lost children at a younger age is I don't think there's any greater loss on the planet. Yeah. Uh, and so there's been, you know, two mothers in particular that I remember off the top of my head that have lost, you know, uh, a son in his early 20s and a girl who was eight years old.

Yeah. And I will, and I'll always remember those kids 'cause they were very cool spirits at the same time. But every story has something, you know, every reading, there's always that one moment where I'm like, "Okay." Um, one that comes into my mind, which is a little bit morbid, but, um, it was the Yugoslav war in the early '90s. Uh, and there was a guy who was escaping from the military and the police. And I was reading his mother and his sister. Uh, and suddenly his whole body just went, "Bang!" And I like felt like I was over there, over there, over there. And I said like, I was like, "With all respect, but I was like, 'Was he a suicide bomber?'" And they were like, "No, he's escaping the police and he put two grenades under his arms and pulled the pin." And because I feel it like one-hundredth of what they feel, it was the most incomprehensible explanation 'cause I still felt like I was alive, but suddenly my body was everywhere. So that's a bit morbid, but it always stuck with me.

I felt it. Yeah. But one-hundredth of what they feel. So if someone has a heart attack, my heart gets tingly. I don't have a physical heart attack. Uh, so when my body is exploding, it's a bit, can't describe it really. So, he put two hand grenades under his arms, pulled the pins out, and then you could feel the explosion.

Well, they laughed 'cause they knew also how he died. So, they were kind of like, "Oh, you felt that." And that's the thing, like, you know, the last thing I want to do is come across as insensitive or, you know, disrespectful. But some of people's stories and some of the ways that they cross over, you have to laugh about it. M, uh, and their loved ones again find humor in it even.

Yeah. No, I tell them everything the spirit tells and the spirits, if anything negative is ever mentioned. It's always with the aim of, how will you work through it, how you cope with it, or how you heal from it. Um, again, there's some, you know, quite graphic stories about things that spirits done in spirit that their loved ones on Earth knew about, but didn't want to talk about if that makes sense. So, you know, this their loved ones being able to admit it creates a barrier of or an opening for healing for their loved ones to side. Yeah. Uh, but yeah, everything gets talked about. And some, you know, like everything in life, unfortunately, it's not always positive.

That's life. Exactly.

No, I. No, it is.

I mean, honestly, I've been to some of them. To be very fair, I've sat down with psychics and I'm like, "Oh, really?" And then, you know, I've had psychics tell me about my future wife and kids and I was like, "I don't think so."

Exactly. Unless I'm having a drastic change of sexuality. Um, but then like, I was like, "I don't think I'm getting married, guys." Maybe not to a woman, but like, um, but then like, there's also been psychics that I've seen and they're like, you know, they talk [expletive] and then they're like, "Oh, what do you do for work?" And I'm like, "I'm a psychic medium." And you suddenly you feel the whole body go, "Oh, God." You know. So like anything in life, I mean, there's people in every profession that maybe could be better than they are. Like, are all doctors moral? No. Are all lawyers moral? Absolutely not. I can vouch for that. So I say with everyone, it's all about the personal experience. And if there's someone that you have faith in and someone that you trust and they've had a really good experience and you know, explore it yourself. But the universe also throws people in front of you for the right time for the right reasons. So, if you are open to seeking guidance, um, from the afterlife, uh, you might be walking down the street and you might see a sign that says, "Psychic reading, $20 for 20 minutes."

Worth a while by the sounds of...

So, there's a lot happening actually. So, I do actually, well, first and foremost on, uh, Instagram and TikTok. I mean, I'm a bit old for TikTok, but you TikTok all the time. So, you're doing those dances.

So that's @davidthemedium. My website is, uh, davidthemedium.com. Uh, and that's where all appointments and events, uh, are also posted through. But I also have something very exciting coming up. So from October to December this year in 2025, I'm actually doing a, uh, what is it? An 11 show, 10 city national tour. So I'm doing a tour of Australia and New Zealand. Uh, doing live shows in all the capital cities including Darwin. Everyone's surprised I'm going to Darwin, but I'm going to Darwin, uh, the Gold Coast and also Auckland in New Zealand.

Pleasure. Thank you.
