(00:10):
Online Radio Broadcast, created exclusively for you here on Apple Podcasts.
Please enjoy these special episodes featuring talented, experienced professional psychics
and mediums as they share with us their knowledge and unique perspectives about the fascinating,
dynamic, purposeful work of psychics and mediums.

(00:34):
Thanks for tuning in.

(01:04):
And welcome to all my listeners today.

(01:28):
We have a very, very special event that I'm delighted to be able to bring you.
We have a special guest joining us today.
He's taken time out of his very busy schedule about preparing for his world tour from the
UK to the United States.
We have Mark Stewart today, medium, and we're going to get to know Mark.
We're going to talk to him about his trip.
He's going to explain some of what the offerings and the opportunities we all have to engage

(01:51):
in when he's here in our area, local to Western New York and Toronto.
And he's also going to describe some of the opportunities and training we'll be able to
engage in.
Mark is known as the Scottish medium, which I know to many of my listeners is going to
be very exciting.
And Mark is not unfamiliar with our area.
He's been a visitor here before.

(02:12):
And so it's wonderful to welcome him back.
And I'm extremely excited to be able to have the time to interview him.
And so Mark, welcome to the broadcast today.
And it's a pleasure to be here, Pete.
I'm sorry, but when you said welcome on back, I got this image in my head the last time
that I was in, I was actually in Fredonia, close to Lollidale.

(02:36):
We did discuss this earlier, but back as in backside, because one of the images I have
about New York State was the panic.
Just to explain, the last time I was here was when COVID was breaking out.
Now there's nothing, obviously there's absolutely nothing good you can say about COVID.
I have this image of me going back to Scotland in a plane with three people and panic in

(02:58):
the stores as people were trying to buy toilet rolls for their backsides.
I'm sorry, but that's just my personality coming forward.
Well, we all have very memorable recollections of our experiences during COVID.
And it's unfortunate because that cut you short.
And now we're just sort of picking up and now we're being able to have a little bit

(03:21):
of a reunion and welcome you back.
It's interesting.
So today we're going to talk to Mark about three different things.
We're going to talk to him about his trip and what educational opportunities we have
available and the training that he's going to provide.
And we're also going to talk about something that's extremely interesting to many of my
listeners.
It's going to be the Scottish mediumship.
So Mark, let's start with that.

(03:42):
I know that your tour is going to include Fredonia, Hydesville, East Aurora, and Toronto.
And just give us a little bit more information about that.
Well, I suppose the biggest event is going to be on the 10th of October, where I'm actually
linking up with one of my students, Debbie Wolf, who's flying up from Tennessee.

(04:03):
The two of us are doing a day, which is broken down into four, I'm going to call them events.
Talk number one is Debbie that's going to give a talk about the difference between evidential
mediumship and using readings with card readings.
You know yourself that if you've ever been to a psychic fair, you walk along and there

(04:24):
are 20 tables of American mediums with cards.
Now you can get a perfectly good reading with card readings, but my sort of throwaway line
is every spiritual evidential medium can do card readings, but very few card readers can
do evidential mediumship.
So this is a comparison between the two, so you understand why.
Then I'm going to do a short, probably about an hour, sort of mini stage event where I'm

(04:51):
going direct.
I know we've discussed that in detail.
I'll leave you to maybe come back to that.
Me giving evidential readings and to everyone that's bought a ticket for that.
Then I'm going to give a speech, a talk about Scottish mediumship.
And then in the evening, we're going to do a Scottish style spiritual circle.
Now that's how we teach people in Scotland how to be mediums.

(05:12):
And I'm pretty experienced with some American circles, so anybody that comes along to that,
hopefully they'll have their eyes opened and they'll see how different it is.
And also myself, one day, they are doing private readings, sort of fitting around those events
during the day.
And you can buy each one of those separately.
So you don't have to come along and buy the whole day.
You can say, right, I'm coming for that talk and that bit and this bit.

(05:35):
Hopefully everybody will come for the whole thing.
But then again, you never know.
Sure, and that sounds like a wonderful opportunity, so much variety.
That's going to be quite a trip for you.
And folks can find the information about how they can get the tickets on your website.
It's going to be markstewardmedium.com forward slash October.
And that's where folks can learn more about the event that we're going to have coming

(05:57):
up.
That was again, Fredonia is going to be October 10th.
We'll just start the schedule.
Huygensville is October 11th.
East Aurora is the 14th.
And Toronto, Ontario is going to be the 20th and the 21st.
Correct.
Wow.
That's going to be a lot of stuff to enjoy from you.
I think the bit that people might find the most interesting, if they're not local, is

(06:21):
Hydeville Park on the 11th.
That's actually going to be a stress because I have tried this before and the phone reception
wasn't good enough.
So I'm hoping five years later, the phone reception is going to be good enough.
So we're going to try and do a Facebook live broadcast.
Now it depends on how many people log on.
If people log on, we might try and do readings from the park.

(06:43):
We might just walk around with the camera and show people what it is.
It's where the Fox sisters sort of started all of this a couple of centuries ago.
So if you are local to Western New York, if you've never been there, I can highly recommend
it as a tourist day out.
Stora on the 14th, that's actually the first spiritualist temple church.

(07:07):
I'm a little bit disappointed because I was hoping to give platform work there, but they
asked me to do a speech about Scottish mediumship.
I might try twisting their arms when I get started.
Don't tell them that.
We'll just go with the spirit maybe, right?
Yeah, exactly.
One might lead to the other.

(07:27):
When I get up to Toronto, Springdale Church is very much going to be a divine service.
We did have a little bit of a, I'll call it a conversation by email when they sort of
like asked if I would be doing a reading during the service.
And they'd already told me how many people were going to be in the congregation.

(07:47):
So I sort of emailed them back and said, I'm a Scottish medium.
I will be doing Scottish style mediumship and everybody in the service will get a reading.
They didn't say no to that.
I think they got the message.
And on the 21st, I've hired a room at the Happy Soul.
And this is subject to me getting bookings, but if I have enough people booking in for

(08:10):
private readings, I'll be doing private readings on the 21st.
That's the nuts and bolts of what I'm doing.
Excellent.
Yeah.
And it sounds to me like you're very excited and you're looking forward to the trip, and
I know we are as well.
But you know, what I'm most interested, besides the Scottish mediumship and the circle, is
the training.
Because you know, you have a very, very unique approach to training.

(08:34):
Scottish style is different than American style.
And you know, in that realm, technically, and that always interests me as well.
And you know, your origin, besides being Scottish and having that unique perspective about how
we do it and being familiar with the American style is wonderful.
And you have a background in sales and marketing, so you sort of know how to present this to

(08:56):
folks.
And so I wish everyone could experience what I had earlier.
We had a little pre-interview, we had a wonderful talk.
Mark is a people person.
So you'll be able to experience that when you come.
Can I just interrupt you there?
Sure.
If, or let me say that, when my wife hears this, the last thing she would describe me

(09:16):
as is a people's person.
I hate to contradict you, but I just need to defend her attitude in that.
That's right.
Well, wives and husbands, boyfriends and girlfriends always have that prerogative to disagree,
don't they?
Absolutely.
Except she's my wife, so she's always right, darling.
Sure, sure.
And I hope you don't mind me.
I'm going to give you a little backstory.

(09:38):
Mark and I were discussing his marriage.
He actually was married in a spiritualist church, in a spiritual service, and it was
a very, very beautiful event for him.
He enjoyed it.
And so he's a knee deep into doing this.
He's a medium, of course, obviously, and a trainer.
But he's also an author.
Mark was describing that he's working on a book.
It's a fascinating book.

(09:59):
It's going to be coming out soon.
It's a scientific book, and it deals with dark matter.
And it touches on lots of different topics, but creation theory.
So if you're a person who's really interested in the scientific aspects of creationism and
different things, that's another project, another thing he has coming out very, very
soon.

(10:19):
And we look forward to that.
So Mark, back to the trip, back to the trip.
So I know that there's going to be folks in my area here in Western New York that are
going to be particularly interested in coming down, pardon me, to enjoy you and Debbie.
You mentioned that the readings are available, so I want to make sure that people know how
to get a hold of you.

(10:41):
They can email you at mark at markstewartmedium.com and just let you know that they're interested
in attending, or they can get the tickets online at the website.
And if they'd like to book a private reading with you or Debbie, they have the opportunity
to do that as well.
And you want to make sure, folks, that you do that soon so that Mark can fit you when
it was a very, very busy schedule, because this is a whirlwind trip.

(11:03):
So Mark, we were talking about the church experience in Scotland, and you were explaining
how the church, the spiritualist churches differ from the American sort of experience
of spiritualism in America.
Would you mind sharing that with our listeners?
Okay.
I suppose there are a number of big differences.

(11:26):
The first one is just simply the numbers.
So let me give you my background, actually.
Although I'm in sales and marketing, I qualified as an accountant very early in life.
So I always look at things in terms of numbers.
And I studied statistics at university.
So if you don't like numbers, don't come for a reading.
I have actually given cell references and spreadsheets to people as part of the reading.

(11:51):
But let's put that aside for a minute.
So let's just do a direct comparison between Scotland and New York State as a whole.
Now, if you're lucky enough to live in New York State, it's a bit like me in Scotland.
I don't realize it until I come out of Scotland, how lucky I am to be in Scotland.
New York has the highest concentration of what I call spiritualist churches.

(12:12):
But in America, you call them spiritualist centers.
But just indulge me and let me call them churches.
So New York State has a total of 12 churches.
And four of those are in one location called Lillydale, which is where I have worked before.
But for the moment, let's just take it in totality.
You've got 12.
Now, that's for a population of 19.4 million.

(12:36):
So a lot of people.
Scotland is geographically about the same size as New York State.
And we have a population of a quarter of that.
We've got about 5.5 million.
Now, I know this is not a live broadcast.
If this was a live broadcast, what I would usually do is ask people, how many spiritualist
churches do you think we've got in Scotland?
Well, let me give you one little anecdote.

(12:59):
I live in a small town called Bowness, which is about 10 minutes drive outside of Edinburgh,
the capital of Scotland.
There are more spiritualist churches within a 15 minute drive of where I'm sitting during
this interview than there are in the entire state of New York.
Getting an exact number is a bit difficult because a lot of people start churches up
and obviously churches close down.
But I would say we've got somewhere between 350 and 400 churches.

(13:23):
So just think of that for a minute in terms of how many churches we've got.
Now, the church services are very different.
Again, let me give you another little anecdote.
My first experience of a spiritualist church was the Manhattan Spiritualist Church, which
is this is going back about 15 years.
My wife and I were on our honeymoon.
I don't even think the church, the church may still be around, but I think it's changed

(13:47):
its name.
Anyway, I had a conversation with somebody and I asked them, how often does your church
meet?
And the guy came back to me and said, oh, once a month.
And he was so happy and so bright and so cheerful that this church was meeting once a month.
And of course, the inevitable question is, how often does your church meet?
Five times a week.
His jaw kind of hit the floor at that point.

(14:08):
Now, not every spiritualist church meets four times a week, but the average number would
be once a week.
So just think about that for one second.
400 churches, 400 services going on every week.
Pretty much if I get depressed during the day and if I want to go to a spiritualist
church and just be with other other spiritualists, I guarantee somewhere within an hour's drive,

(14:33):
I will find a church with a service that day.
Now, next big difference.
And this is where things this is where Americans get a wee bit touchy because this basically
if an American medium comes over to Scotland, they'll find the doors barred.
They will not.
I'm not saying they won't be allowed in the church.
I'll be more than welcome in the church, but there's not a chance in heaven and hell that

(14:53):
they'll be allowed to work in the service, mainly because this is actually a difference
between Scottish and English.
And I find that a lot of Americans experience to mediumship from the UK comes from England,
not from Scotland.
Now, we have a term in Scotland.
We use predominantly to describe the English, which is called Sassenach.

(15:16):
If you've never heard that term, it's a Gaelic term and it means outsider.
In our Scottish minds, it means a lot more than that with association.
But let's just put that aside for a second.
The biggest difference between a Scottish medium working on platform and an English
or American medium working is that the Americans call out whereas we go direct.

(15:38):
So Pete, you and I were discussing this earlier and so I'm going to sort of paraphrase the
way that Pete described the way that he would work.
Not that I'm being critical of you, Pete.
Pete, I'm sure you're a brilliant medium.
But he said that he would get the spirit coming forward and he would describe what he had
and he would then call out.
This is the term that we use in Scotland and ask people to put their hands up for who can

(16:02):
recognize that spirit.
I was once in an English church on the English coast, nice church, very well established.
And there was an English medium working there.
And he did exactly that.
And five hands went up.
So he gave a wee bit more evidence and he said, OK, of the five of you who can take
it, three of the hands went down and another three hands went up.

(16:24):
And this kept on going for between five and 10 minutes.
And this was an extreme example of it.
And finally, he just sort of said, look, if he's hands up to his head, you can't see me,
but I've got my hand on either side of my head.
And he just said, right, OK, spirit's telling me to come to and he just chose one person.
And I think he did it randomly.
Now, the way I would work, I would say, now, you can't see you can't see Pete.

(16:46):
So you're just going to have to take it on face value that I'm describing.
Man in the middle row, aged, I don't know, 40 to 50 with a beard and sort of medium brown
hair.
Can I come to yourself, sir?
And then Pete would have to confirm and say yes.
I would then describe the spirit that I had, get confirmation.

(17:08):
Yes.
You know, Pete would either say yes, yes, yes, or maybe or no.
I would keep going with more evidence until I was a hundred until Pete was one hundred
percent convinced that I had his and I'm making this up grandfather.
If Pete said no, I can't take that.
I would not give him the message.

(17:29):
We have absolute zero tolerance for giving messages to people without confirmation of
who the spirit is.
There are actual reasons for that.
What most people forget is there are three people involved in a spiritual reading, the
sitter, the medium and the spirit.
Let me ask you a question and I know you can't answer, but have you ever seen, and again,

(17:51):
you're just going to take my word for this.
I'm putting my hands up over my eyes.
Have you ever seen the medium stand on the platform, close their eyes and try and tune
into the spiritual realm?
Well, they're actually blocking.
They're actually blocking the spirit.
And if they did it properly by keeping eye contact with the sitter.
Now, if the sitter crosses their arms or crosses the legs, I will from the platform ask them

(18:13):
to please uncross your arms and legs because, okay, it's not a physical block, but it's
a mental block.
It's body language.
They're telling the spirit.
They're telling the medium who's telling the spirit.
So then I would give them the message.
Now, the message should also be evidential.
If you've lost your mother or your wife and you're coming to me in a church service and

(18:35):
you want me to tell you that your wife loves you, my response to that is just going to
be very direct.
You don't need me to tell you whether your wife loves you.
If you don't know that, then what kind of relationship did you have?
The message will be evidential.
Let me give you an example of a message that I actually gave in a church quite recently.
Brought the woman's husband forward.

(18:57):
Yes, yes, yes.
She was quite convinced it was him.
Okay.
I said, your husband's telling me you've got a dog.
Is that correct?
Yes.
Small with wavy or curly hair.
Yes.
Sometime within the last two weeks, you changed the dog's food.
You got him cheaper food.
So at this point, she's nodding her head.
Yes, I did that.
I said, your husband, now I've also got a sense of humor, so you need to take this on

(19:20):
board as well.
I said, your husband wants me to let you know that your dog now hates you because of the
change of the food.
Now at this point, the entire church versus the hysterics, the woman's gasping and she
shouts back, how did you know the dog's not eating the food?
To which my response is, well, if you don't need me to give you the message from your
husband to tell you that the dog's not eating the new food you've given them, you're giving

(19:43):
them the wrong food.
So she shouted out in front of the congregation that she was going home to via Tesco's, which
is a local national chain of supermarkets in the UK that just happens to sell dog food
to buy the previous dog food.
Now I did also get the message in that church service about somebody's sex.
I'm not going to go too much details in case, unlikely that they're listening, but it was

(20:06):
about somebody that was changing their sex and all the rest of it.
And I did not discuss that from the platform, so don't panic.
It was all about a book that the person had written.
And I said, you've gone to a bookstore, you've bought a book in the last week.
Yes.
It's about a very personal subject.
Yes.
So don't panic, I'm not going to reveal what the subject's about.

(20:28):
I can't remember who the spirit was.
I said, the spirit wants you just asking you the fairly obvious question.
You've already made your mind up, haven't you?
Yes.
You don't need to read the book to confirm that.
Oh my God.
Yes.
So you can see the way it works.
So those are two examples of what I mean by evidential messages.

(20:49):
So that in summary, there's a lot of other differences that I'm not going to get into
minutiae detail, but that brings across the entire sort of different attitude and methodology
that we have in Scotland, if that answers your question, Pete.
Absolutely.
Thank you very much.
And I just love, I love your style.
And I know the people who are going to be attending the event are going to enjoy this

(21:10):
immensely.
And thank you so much for taking the time to compare those mechanics.
I love the mechanics of things.
I'd like to feel and find out what the differences are.
You did a masterful job of describing the difference in the two styles there.
And I love, I love the attitude of the pervasive sort of zero tolerance kind of thing in order

(21:30):
to keep, keep the, what I call the empirical evidence or to keep it sort of scientific
or to make it quantitative so that people can experience it.
Can I just interject there?
You know, I mean, I know the, I was going to say since COVID, I know I keep coming back
to that, but just in the last five to 10 years, Facebook has gone mega.

(21:52):
I mean, I don't think, I don't think you need to be a medium to tell you about that.
And if you're a spiritualist, you know that, I mean, I mean, to put this in perspective,
seven or eight years ago, no Scottish churches had a Facebook page.
They all had their website page.
Now you find church pages that are so out of date because nobody's worked on them for
five years and it's, they've all got Facebook pages, but that's fine.

(22:15):
That's just the way the technology is.
But the other side of that is there are so many people self-discovered trying to learn
how to do mediumship.
And there are so many, and I'm going to put this in inverted commas in case I upset too
many people would be mediums on Facebook.
And what really irritates me, because this comes across to my personality is I start

(22:39):
a conversation with somebody on Facebook.
Let's say it's about opening and closing, you know, they clearly they're walking around
open all the time.
That's something that I've got zero tolerance for.
And because that's another topic for another day.
But basically I'll say to them, look, you've got to learn how to close.
And they'll come out with, oh, no, no, no, I don't need to know how to close.

(23:00):
And I'll say, well, look, there's health issues here.
You know, like I've got a check.
I've got a standard checklist that I ask people, let me run, since we got here, let me just
run through the checklist.
Do you have sleepless nights?
Yes.
Or do you waken up at regular times on a regular basis in the middle of the night?
Yes.
Do you go for an extended time period and you feel yourself getting tired and tired

(23:23):
and tired until you literally you become completely lethargic, completely non motivated and you
have to take a day to two days just to sit and sit on the couch and recharge?
Yes.
And do you have an underlying health condition that's being exacerbated in some way?
And that doesn't apply to everybody.
But generally, I mean, I'm a type one diabetic, so I can I can speak from personal experience

(23:47):
here.
50% of the time, they'll say yes.
OK, you're open.
You need to learn how to close.
So put that aside for a minute.
Coming back to where I started talking, somebody on Facebook called Ben immediately come flying
back in my face.
Oh, you have to allow different ways that we've got different ways of learning, different
ways of working.
Excuse the sarcastic voice.

(24:08):
You can tell when I'm being sarcastic.
My answer to that is no, you don't.
There's a fundamental truth.
There's life after death.
As a medium, the fundamental purpose is to prove there's life after death.
And yes, I'll accept there are variations.
I mean, a lot of Scottish mediums cringe when I say there's only one way of doing it.
They all have different styles.

(24:30):
But fundamentally, the basic rules are the same.
You get in a car.
There's a difference between an American car and a Scottish car, but it still has a driving
wheel.
You're on the wrong side of the road.
But you still drive, you know, you use the driving wheel to drive the direction of the
car.
There's a brake there.
Okay.
You don't have the gearbox.
You don't know how to drive properly, but never mind that.

(24:51):
The gears get changed.
The mechanics of the car are pretty much the same.
It's the same with mediumship.
You can put frilly fluffy around how you do it, but the basic rules, the basic mechanics.
So listeners, we just want to take a brief little time out from our broadcast to have
a commercial break.
And we encourage you to head over to scotspirittraining.com.

(25:15):
That's S-C-O-T-S-P-R-I-T-R-A-I-N-I-N-G.com where Mark Stewart, the Scottish medium, offers
unique mediumship training.
Notice the single T in the web address.
It's a playful nod to the constant rain in Scotland.

(25:35):
So whether you're looking for a fast track to professional mediumship in six months or
the slower paced Scottish circle, Mark's courses have something for everyone.
And again, that website is scotspirittraining.com.
And now back to our broadcast.

(26:03):
Connects are the same.
And you know what?
That's very valuable.
Thank you for sharing that.
And I suppose that people are calling it and criticizing, you know, the Facebook folks
that want to make it a little wishy washy or make it more customized or this is how I
do it.
You know, homemade, I call it homemade.
Or did you word the word Sazenac?
You said Sazenac?
Yeah, it's Gaelic for outsider.

(26:27):
Or in Scotland, it just means English.
Yeah.
So Mark, up to this point, I want to make sure that folks know exactly how to get a
hold of you and make sure at this point where we can go to get information about the upcoming
tour from Scotland to...

(26:49):
Can I just make sure that people spell my name correctly?
Absolutely.
I was going to do that.
Thank you.
Okay.
Do you want to do it or do you want me to do it?
No, you please.
Thank you.
Okay.
It's all spent.
It's all spelt the French way.
Now, let me tell you a little secret about Scotland and France.
We used to have a queen called Mary, Queen of Scots, who at the age of six, yeah, age

(27:12):
of six, got married to the Dauphin of France.
And ever since then, we've called it the Auld Alliance.
Now that's Scottish language for old.
But it basically means that everybody in Scotland has French citizenship and everybody in France
has Scottish citizenship.
That's getting into religious arguments, so let's not go there anymore.

(27:33):
So my name gets spelt the French way.
Mark M-A-R-C, Stuart S-T-U-A-R-T, medium, I'm not going to insult anybody by telling
them how to spell medium.com.
Now that'll take you to my main website.
And there's a link on there that says October 2024.
Or alternatively, if people go to forward slash October and then numbers two four, that

(28:00):
will take you to the page with all the details of all the places I'm going to.
And if you want to get more specific, if you go to forward slash after the 24 Fredonia,
10th, 1 0 T H, that will take you to the page specifically for Fredonia.

(28:21):
Excellent.
Thank you.
And make a note of that.
And again, the dates are October 10th through the 21st when you'll be on that tour coming
to New York and Canada.
Correct.
So Mark, you know, we talked about the differences.
We sort of underlined different things and we drawn lines and put boxes and talked about

(28:42):
how we compared how we're different.
But you know, one of the beautiful things about the work that you and I do as light
workers, as mediums, is providing an overall sense of well-being and help and, you know,
growth for folks.
And I think those are the things that we all have in common, even though there's a very
distinct and very, very wonderful Scottish approach to everything.

(29:06):
The overall effect, like you mentioned when you were rendering those readings to people,
that the value that you provide and many other mediums were effective is this sense of peace,
a sense of growth, a sense of health, a sense of you desiring to help them.
And this is what this is a takeaway, folks.
When you come to these events and you can enjoy these experiences, it's really enjoyable

(29:33):
to begin with, but it's also educational, but it's also a person where you can improve
your health, you can improve your outs.
And Mark provides that kind of value, insights and information and validations about the
life, you know, the life and proof of life, right?
And that's where we're going.
Can I just add a wee bit?
Can I just add a wee bit to that?
Yes, please.

(29:54):
I agree with absolutely everything that you're saying.
However, I'd like to add something to it.
Occasionally, probably about one person, not occasionally, I would say probably about one
person in every service I do needs something just a little bit more.

(30:14):
And you usually find the spirit will guide that person to the right medium.
Now, I could sit here for the next hour and give you example after example after example,
but I'm just going to limit myself maybe to two or three examples.
Now, the first one was somebody that was going through something that was absolutely traumatic.

(30:37):
This was a private reading.
This wasn't a church reading.
The woman was getting a private reading and I was giving her evidence of this and that
and everything was absolutely spot on.
She was perfectly happy.
And then the spirit just hit me in the back of the head.
There was something absolute that this woman needed help with.

(30:59):
So I just said to her, you're depressed, aren't you?
And I got an immediate yes.
And then I said, stop me if I'm going to get too personal.
You had a miscarriage about three years ago, at which point she almost breaks down in tears.
I said, yes, she says yes.
And I said, everybody else thinks that you have recovered, that you've had all the help

(31:23):
that you need.
And she said, at this point, she's in absolute tears.
So somebody else, this was a church fair that she was at.
So I mean, although it was a private reading, other people could see what was going on.
Somebody else by this point had come running towards her and was handing her a box of,
I mean, we're talking box of hand keys.
We're not talking a paper hand key.
And then I got the woman to go away again, because this really was personal.

(31:46):
And she said, yes.
I said, clearly from your reaction, the answer to that is no one.
You don't need a medium to tell you this, but you need to go.
And I said, there's one person that you can speak to that you haven't spoken to.
She said, yes.
She said, that's my mother.
And I said, just ask her, this is a rhetorical question, because clearly I already know the

(32:07):
answer to this.
So do you.
Why have you not been telling your mom the way that you feel?
So basically to wrap up this little example, her mother and her two sisters are then around
her.
The fact that she had broken down in tears, it wasn't public, like nobody else could see
what was going on verbally, but they could see the fact that she was in tears.

(32:30):
So they were all around her.
And the spirit by getting me to sort of hit her in the face with this in front of her
family in the distance drew attention to the help that she needed.
So spirit can work.
Sometimes, sometimes you get messages like that as a medium and you just don't want to
go there.
Sometimes you know you just have to go there.

(32:50):
Let me give you another example.
Again it was a private reading.
And this was actually in Western New York.
This was very early in my days when I was doing readings.
I'd just been advertising, I'm going to be here, private readings.
And this woman had booked me for a private reading.
And it was virtually the same.

(33:12):
The reading was an hour, perfectly happy with everything she got.
But I just knew at the back of my head that the spirit was telling me that there was one
thing that I hadn't covered that the woman was uneasy about.
So I had another person, I could actually see the next person sort of humming around
the bar waiting to come over because I was doing it in the foyer of the hotel.

(33:34):
I was waiting for her and I could see who it was because you know physical description
I'll be dressed like.
So I said look we're going to have to wrap this up.
Can I just ask you a direct question?
You came to see me for one very specific reason.
And she said yes it's got nothing to do with you being a medium.
Okay what then?
She said well you flew into Toronto Airport didn't you?

(33:57):
I said yes you know I'd put it on my Facebook page.
Excuse me.
She said well me and my husband are about to fly out from the same airport.
Okay and he's a type 1 diabetic and he doesn't know how to carry his insulin, what to do
with it to be safe.
And he's terrified of this and he's almost at the point of cancelling the flights.

(34:18):
So I said let me stop you there.
Opened up the jacket I was wearing.
Took out my insulin pen.
And I said you mean he's got one of these?
He said oh my god.
I said yes I'm a type 1 diabetic.
So the woman had been directed by the spirit to come and see me not to get a message but
simply because I was somebody that was independent that had flown through that airport and could

(34:41):
explain the insulin.
Not quite life shattering but she then went away perfectly happy and I got feedback from
her by email to say oh my god you know you saved our holiday.
I'm saying I didn't do anything major but you see where I'm going.
Let me see if I can give another example of what I'm talking about.

(35:03):
I did have one in my head.
I'm sorry I'm holding a mental break here.
Dyslexia I got sidetracked there.
Let me just think for a second.
I did say three.
No I'm sorry I might come back to it in a second.
Sure he'll come back.
And you know thank you for sharing those Mark because those are real authentic experiences

(35:24):
people have and they demonstrate.
Sorry to interrupt.
He just came back to me.
You got it.
Okay now this is radically different from somebody coming to me to get a reading and
this one was really this is where somebody needs help and the medium gets directed to
the person.
I have a little secret.

(35:44):
That's not so much a secret but I like going to casinos.
I'm not a mega gambler but I will admit that I do sometimes use my psychic abilities to
win but that's another story for another day.
I'm on my way home and I get this flashing message go to the casino.

(36:05):
I had no plans on going to the casino but okay right fine I trust spirit.
I go to the casino.
Go to the table and I win.
Nothing major but £100 which is about today's exchange rate about $125 and then this man
starts standing beside me watching everything I'm doing.

(36:27):
So we start talking about I've got a particular gambling style and you know I don't hide the
fact I'm a medium.
The casino has hired me before to work but put that aside and he says you're a medium.
I said yes.
Can we go and get a drink?
Okay fine and we start talking.
Now he tells me his life story a wee bit and he basically says you know I was clinically

(36:51):
dead five years ago and I had an experience when I was dead and I haven't been able to
talk to anybody and because it can't because I can't deal with it I can't move on.
So I said right let me stop you there.
I said I am not the medium that you need to see and his face sort of kind of goes a wee

(37:13):
bit shock.
I said however there's another Scottish medium I know very well who has been clinically dead
twice and he tells a story that's very similar to what you've just told me.
Let me exchange phone numbers.
Fine so I take his phone number and I give him the other medium's phone number.
I drive home next day and this is late at night so I don't do it at night but next day

(37:35):
I contact the other medium just to warn him what he's about to do and he says Mark that
is absolutely weird because I've never been in a casino in my life and I had an image
last night of myself in a casino.
So I said right well this guy's going to talk to you and he really does need to speak to
you.

(37:55):
Sorry for the interjection but I would have forgotten about that one again if we talked
when we moved on.
Oh I'm so glad you did share that.
That's amazing and but you know this is not unusual for people who do this kind of work
you know these synchronicities and these there's no coincidences right and these wonderful
breakthroughs that you enable Mark when you present yourself and you do this sort of work

(38:19):
spirit works through you and of course people are unable to move on and they're able to
heal and you help them in ways that we don't always know and I find I often ask the guests
towards the end and we'll be wrapping up a little bit in a while to describe the passion
or the joy or the reason the motives they have and very often that's because you want

(38:43):
to help others you like to experience with them what you can do what insights and information
you can provide for them to grow and to heal and to help them along and I can tell you
know just by what you described as you have tremendous respect for the individual and
their privacy you've mentioned that several times but you also have an underlying sense
of empathy for their feelings and I love when you describe the encounters you have because

(39:10):
you bring so much empathy and you meet people sort of on the road where they are very non-judgmental
and it's quite a gift you have and we're all very very fortunate to be able to enjoy that
and so again we want to make sure that folks know he's going to be in Western New York
guys and that's going to be beginning October 10th in Fredonia and it'll be wrapping up

(39:32):
in Toronto the 20 and 21st and the information to get a hold of Mark is his website mark
nrc steward stuartmedium.com and check that out and make sure that you book early so that
they have plenty of room for you because it's going to be it's going to be a popular event
we don't want you to miss out at all.
Pete sorry to interrupt again sure but I was telling people to go to the individual pages

(39:56):
but you might you could do me a favor actually if you do go to my website I've just put a
chat bot on the website now myself and a couple of other psychics mediums have spent a long
time programming it it's not going to answer any worldwide questions it's very much about
me and what I do in my training but see if you can break it for me.

(40:18):
Mark Okay that's a challenge right we'll try yeah
right okay um so we would we definitely want to encourage folks to really check out the
website and then to break the chat box and to you know folks I live in western New York
as you know when you if you listen to this broadcast very regularly and Fredonia in autumn

(40:39):
is going to be just beautiful so it'll be a wonderful day trip and you get all the added
benefit of being able to you know enjoy Mark and everything they're offering he and Debbie
too and so we're going to this is definitely not going to be the last time we hope that
we get a chance to enjoy Mark in an interview and we're going to talk to maybe afterwards
maybe we can invite him to come afterwards and tell us about a post experience of Fredonia

(41:03):
I'd love to I would love to absolutely love to sure um so Mark we did mention something
that you have a sense of humor you ever and you can take a lot of kidding and that's wonderful
scott spring training raining I can't get the words out scott spirit training.com tell

(41:23):
us no no no no no no no you missed the joke scott spirit raining.com now what what's the
joke let's put it this way um it doesn't matter what day of the year it is in Scotland I have
four different umbrellas in the boot of my car for depending on how heavy it rains now

(41:46):
I do own them I do own the domain scott spirit training with a t but basically because it
always rains it's just a private joke if you know anything about Scotland if you've ever
been to Scotland you'll understand the joke of as to why that's the training page sure

(42:06):
not wasted on us here and anyway the weather in Fredonia promises to be beautiful that day
and it won't matter because there's so much more to enjoy right excellent sure um I'm
going to thank you for being so generous with your time today and I can't believe you had
time in your busy schedule you know preparing for the tour and getting everything ready

(42:27):
with all your all your activities of writing and playing and planning the trip and getting
the training ready and that we're definitely looking forward to it and I want to make sure
that folks know to really check this out it's going to be a destination it's going to be
quite a quite event and there is just one there is just one thing I should add here
there's only 16 tickets I see okay it's first come first served first come you heard it

(42:51):
here first folks if you want to be in those first 16 so make sure you reach out and let
Mark know that you're interested and you know hopefully this won't be the only tour we'll
be able to look forward to another one in the upcoming times and I want to thank you
Mark for being so generous again with your time and carving out some some attention for

(43:14):
us here on the broadcast and anything any last words before we um just a call out to
people that claim to be of Scottish descent and this is from a Scotsman and this is directed
at the men in this this grouping um let me give you a piece of personal advice if you

(43:39):
wear a kilt so this only applies to people that wear men that wear kilts measure the
length of the kilts and if it doesn't cover the knee whatever you do under any circumstances
don't wear it in Scotland because if you do that's the length of a lady's kilt fun fact

(44:08):
write that down folks you don't want to embarrass yourself when you go to the Burns dinners
right yeah absolutely and I know there's lots of folks listening who do attend those Burns
dinners and and enjoy putting their kilt on uh yes yeah it would be worth getting seriously
if you come to Scotland to come to a Burns night in Scotland for god's sake don't turn

(44:29):
up with an American kilt to get a Scottish kilt when you're over unless you don't care
sometimes yeah if you don't if you don't care then fine but that's just a wee secret about
Scottish men and I was American then wearing kilts see there's all the ladies love it as

(44:51):
well of course I was just thinking that I was thinking and the legend about Scottish
ladies getting slightly tipsy and running up behind you grabbing the kilt and lifting
it up to prove if you're a real man or not is actually true now the definition of a real
man wearing a kilt is there's nothing on under it I see so the question now in everyone's

(45:14):
mind is are you going to be wearing a kilt at any time during the tour unfortunately the
weight limit of my suitcase prevents me from bringing the bringing the Scottish clothing
with me bummer sorry ladies that'll have another broadcast at another time yeah and and as

(45:38):
you know Pete and female people that go for readings and female spiritualists the sex
ratio between men and women is about 19 females to one man so as a Scotsman calling myself
the Scottish medium I just can't afford to get on a stage with 50 females I'm sorry I'm
just not prepared to take that risk that's a liability isn't it yeah they can have the

(46:03):
accent that's all they can have my wife would have words otherwise sure I'm sure the Fox
sisters would have had something to say about that as well I'll ask them when I get I'll
ask them when I get to the park yes please do I'm really looking forward to that I think
that's a very exciting event and I hope it will help the technology serves us you know
but those of us in the industry know that sometimes the technology can defy us yeah

(46:27):
so fingers crossed for a beautiful day and down to Fredonia and a beautiful autumn tour
you're coming at the perfect time of year I think correct I think folks are really going
to enjoy this again I want to make sure that folks know where to go to get the information
for those last 16 tickets mark and they are see Stuart medium.com forward slash October

(46:51):
is where you want to go on that website to get your information and to find out and how
to book October 24 October 24 on the website definitely thank you and mark it's been an
absolute pleasure I've enjoyed meeting you today and likewise again I'm looking forward
to the next time and good luck and I hope everything goes perfectly and it will on the

(47:11):
tour I will I've got there are many rules about Scottish mediumship and one of them
is you don't predict the future but I'm going to predict the future it will go well
fingers crossed absolutely so and best wishes to all and you and Debbie as well thank you
thank you it's been a pleasure my pleasure absolutely thank you

(47:46):
you've been listening to the psychic Pete live online radio broadcast I hope you've
enjoyed the show please tune in again for more interesting episodes this is psychic
Pete wishing you and yours all the very best peace

(48:56):
thanks for hanging around so this is our blooper reel towards the end of the interview
I asked mark if he had any last words I misspoken meant to ask him if he has any final words
as last words make it sound as though we're going to take him out in the backyard and
shoot him for his own good and this is how mark responded oh my god Pete you're saying

(49:20):
last words now I know I've insulted some Americans in what I've talked about the advantages
of Scottish mediumship but you seriously can't be saying this is my last words now on the
other hand I am a medium and I have complete faith in life after death and there are lots
of people that I'm gonna I'm gonna enjoy having a physical connection to again but please

(49:43):
please please please don't make these my final last words guarantees sorry sorry heartfelt
sorrow apologies oh accepted
