Sure, maybe most of us would find it enticing to receive "inside
information" from a mystical plane, our very own oracle of
knowledge beyond what's possible in our earthly human existence.
Who wouldn't want access to a Spirit Guide, one that could lend
us valuable insight to better our lives and give a glimpse of
what awaits us on the other side? Perhaps this supernatural
soothsayer could also provide a longing companionship or, even
better, prove to be a soulmate from a past life? It sounds like a
delightful gift, right? But what if the source of this
metaphysical communication ended up having as many foibles as any
ordinary untrustworthy "frenemy?" What if the messages proved to
be increasingly inaccurate or questionable, with the attitude of
your once beatific benefactor becoming demanding, desperate,
petty, contentious, and maybe even obsessive and possessive?
Perhaps it wasn't looking out for your best interests, after all?
This twist seemed to be the compelling and chilling experience of
Toronto-based journalist and author Joe Fisher when he became
entangled with a consuming investigation into Channeling and
Spirit Guides. In Part One of our examination of Fisher's book,
The Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts, we're joined by our own Spirit
Guide and good friend, Rich Hatem, for a discussion about
Fisher's enigmatic journey into a sometimes troubling
relationship with Channeling and the personalities, once-human
and otherwise, that come through a medium. What materializes is
realizing that our expectations of wisdom and comfort from a
Higher Source can gradually lead to suspicion, fear, and
doom.
