I was watching this programme last night and as always John was pretty good. Enjoyable viewing.
At the end of his programme though, he went on to explain a bit more about spirit messages and what they choose to bring through. He said to the audience, how he would love to have a conversation with spirit something like this:
" Hi, my name is John, what is your name, who are you looking for and what can you tell me, etc etc..." (you get the picture?)
He laughed and explained that spirit don't give a damn about what he would like to hear/know, all they are interested in is getting the message across to the right person, even if it means talking about a incident that happened 25 years ago. Quite often the recipient can't even remember until much later about the said incident. It is so true.
When I have used psychometry in the past doing a one to one reading, all kinds of information comes through, some funny, some not so funny and some very embarrassing!
Like John explained, you just cannot choose what the loved ones in spirit are going to talk about, only accept it is their way of making the recipient acknowledge that life truly does go on after death. Even if they bring embarrassing news at times!
