Define and Divine Your Universe: A Contemporary View of Psychic-Mediumship

In 2014, we self-published a simple but meaningful book: Everyday Conversations: The Key to the Contemporary Medium – Unlocking the Myths. Our goal was to demystify psychic-mediumship, release the fear around “talking to dead people,” and bring the conversation into the Age of Information — into a modern understanding of consciousness itself.
From our collective experiences, we came to see that psychic-medium sensing is the act of receiving and interpreting information from consciousness — whether that consciousness is expressed in physical or energetic form. When viewed from that broader horizon, a more expansive perspective begins to unfold.
Defining Your Universe
Information is the foundation of everything — our words, ideas, beliefs, and behaviors. These create what we call thoughtware: the frameworks that guide our daily life and define our reality. As we define our framework, we live it. If we don’t like the result, we can redefine it. Life, at its core, is a continuous reworking of the good, the bad, and the ugly as we search for a better “how’s that workin’ for ya?” (Dr. Phil) moment.
In defining your universe, you also establish its ground rules. Religions, New Age spirituality, New Thought philosophy, materialism, and atheism all offer different blueprints for how the universe works. Whichever framework we adopt becomes the one we experience.
In Everyday Conversations, we explore the wide range of New Age and New Thought ideas often connected with psychic-mediumship. Many people begin by thinking in terms of positive or negative energy, dimensions and vibrations, portals, old and new souls, or the distinction between being “spiritual” versus “religious.” Whatever belief structure a person embraces becomes the filter through which they experience psychic work — and life itself.
For example, if someone believes that psychic work happens in a universe filled with portals to dark or demonic energies, it naturally follows that they’ll feel a need for protection. We often say, “If you put a bear in your neighborhood, you’ll need a gun.” A fear-based universe creates the need for defense: white candles, protective prayers, crystals, or imagined shields to block negative forces.
But if your universe is defined by unconditional love, infinite wisdom, and unlimited creation, then your thoughts, words, and actions will express that. From that place, psychic-mediumship becomes an act of empowerment, compassion, and upliftment — offering genuine value through connection and understanding.
Divining Your Universe
Defining gives structure; divining gives it soul.
To “divine” your universe is to recognize its Source — the origin of Being itself. Where does existence come from? Did it simply blast into being without meaning or purpose? Or is there a Oneness that binds all things, across every time and space? That’s a vast role — one we’ve described as God, Source, Creator, Brahman, or whatever name feels true.
Recognizing a divine nature at the center of your understanding builds an unshakable foundation of faith. It’s what connects belief to behavior — grounding our spiritual framework in a living truth rather than shifting opinion.
Our view of define/divine aligns with Edgar Cayce’s timeless quote:
“Spirit is the Life; Mind is the Builder; Physical is the Result.”
Spirit–Mind–Physical: The Framework of Creation
Spirit is the Life — the potential of God, or as modern science might call it, the quantum field. It represents pure Oneness — the infinite possibility of everything that can be. Synchronicities, miracles, and mysterious alignments point to this unified field of creation. If Oneness did not exist, how could we explain those moments of impossible coincidence?
Mind is the Builder — the bridge between Spirit and reality. It suggests that the divine Mind and the human mind work together to shape experience. Thoughts become things. Synchronicities unfold. Inspiration turns into creation. The question then becomes: Do the rules of our personal mind align with the Mind that animates the universe?
Physical is the Result — the manifestation of thought and intention in visible reality. This brings us back to the “how’s that workin’ for ya?” reflection. If the outcomes in our life don’t serve our well-being, do we cling to the same thoughtware — or dare to redefine the universe we’re living in?
As Wayne Dyer said, “Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.”
A Case from Our Work
Early in our practice, we believed that souls who had experienced negative circumstances — such as addiction or suicide — couldn’t be with “enlightened” or “positive” souls. Imagine our surprise when a person who had died of an accidental overdose appeared in a reading alongside their devout, church-going grandmother.
That moment expanded our understanding. We were shown a universe grounded not in separation or judgment, but in unconditional love. We had to evolve our thoughtware to match the truth we witnessed — that the potential of Spirit is limitless, and the essence of God is inclusivity.
Living the Connection
We experience the Spirit–Mind–Physical connection daily as a kind of simultaneous coexistence — the right people, places, and timing aligning through acts of kindness, comfort, reunion, and inspiration. These moments feel like divine and human thoughts meeting halfway — the “thoughts” of God intersecting with the “thoughts” of our daily lives.
This is where New Thought principles — the power of thought, mind-body healing, and conscious creation — meet Divine Intelligence, the quantum nature of the universe. Through this lens, “the kingdom of God is at hand” is not only a distant afterlife promise but also a present-moment invitation. It means we already have the consciousness and energy to create a more loving, wise, and meaningful life — right here and now.
In Closing
We live in an extraordinary age — one of expanding freedom, scientific discovery, and spiritual understanding. We can move beyond fear-based frameworks and step into a consciousness rooted in compassion, awareness, and co-creation.
That’s where define/divine — and the tool of psychic-mediumship — can take us: toward an experience of life that receives, interprets, and engages the vast intelligence of the universe, grounded in the Spirit–Mind–Physical harmony of Being itself.
