How rare is the ability to communicate with the dead?

James Van Praagh (Medium, Author) gives expert video advice on: What do people want to know when they come to you?; Why do people want to communicate with the dead?; What can I learn from speaking to the dead? and more...

I think it's like when someone has a really good voice. Some really good people out there, but it's rare you'll find good singers. I think mediums are just that: mediums are people that are rare. Usually creative people, I just put it into that category. Let's say, a really great singer, or a musician, someone who has ability. I don't think it's rare, per se. I think there are many mediums. I don't think they're recognized in the public eye, like myself, and other people are in the public eye, but there are a lot of mediums out there who people don't even know about, because they don't advertise, they don't promote anything. So there are many people out there. I find that people are mediums that don't realize it. Just like there are a lot of people are healers and don't realize it. I just finished doing a television show, and the producer of that show, he said, "What am I going to do with my life?" I said, "You're a healer. You're a healer. That's the energy that you have." He goes, "I know, I know." But it's up to him whether he's going to use it or not. I think many mediums have lifetimes preparing for this one lifetime. I've spent many lifetimes preparing, as far as religious lifetimes, as far as philosophical lifetimes, as far as living alternate experiences to prepare for this one lifetime. So the impact would be very strong, between millions and millions of people. Because this work changes people's minds.
