Speaking Mediums

Conscious and Unconscious Psychophony

  There are both conscious speaking mediums and unconscious speaking mediums¹.  

The conscious (including the semi-conscious and fully conscious) speaking medium works in a lighter trance and has a certain consciousness of what the manifesting spirit is saying, while the words are being dictated, after the communication, he or she vaguely remembers what was said. These mediums are common. 

The unconscious speaking medium works in a deeper trance.  He or she does not remember anything about the communication when the spirit leaves.  This is also called somnambulist psychophony (when the medium is in the somnambulistic state, his or her spirit disengages easily from the body). These mediums are much more rare.  

¹ You may also hear or read about the Intuitive speaking and writing mediums.  We will discuss these under another section (see Intuitive mediums). Differing from varieties mentioned here, they do not involve the communicating spirit's direct action upon the body of the medium, but rather upon his soul, with which the spirit temporarily identifies itself.
