A READING WITH GEORGE ANDERSON


Let us say generally I am a skeptic. You would have to impress me pretty darn good to even get me to give a medium the time of day much less money or my belief.

I hold no religious beliefs. Have little patience for New Agers, channelers etc.

After reading books about George over time, I had to admit there seemed to be something there. Then came his books. (I haven't read them all and feel no need to)

The idea that among all the self-proclaimed mediums, he doesn't want to know your name, where you live or who you are hoping to hear from.

You can send a money order with someone else's name on it. sign up for a reading with another's name. There are many fail safes.

With many other's they want all that info and then they want to do a 'hot' reading (some ask for pictures!)---have you tell them what you want to know and from whom you want to hear it from. Heck I can give a pretty comparable 'reading' with all that info myself! I am amazed at people's gullibility.

It was 20 years after I initially learned of George that I scheduled a telephone reading from him. (traveling to New York was not appealing).
I had driven to San Francisco in the 90's to hear him and dr. Moody speak. Now I was impressed with his quiet demenor. not any of that show and flash as with so many others. I wasn't called upon, the folks behind me were and there were a lot of tears etc. Ok I thought, perhaps it is for real or then they could be 'plants' in the audience. Made for an interesting evening but nothing more.

Well back to my scheduled call. The day came and as the time grew near I found myself getting very nervous so I went online to see what other's had experienced and nervousness was one of the main reactions. It was told by people that know George he was amazed by this, as "it was just him, George."

He initially identified himself as the call began and then I could hear him , his pen scribbling over a pad of paper, then he said an Older man and a younger man have stepped forward (you are instructed to only say understand or do not understand) I just said yes, not wanting to yet affirm I might know who it was. He described the younger man as having passed before the older (true, my brother died young and my father passed perhaps 40+ years later.)

George described my brother's symptoms to a T. (he had non Hodgkins lymphoma) and what brought him to his passing and was correct in that he was awake alert and talking with us all and then just passed.

He said my Father wanted to apologize for his actions (George specified) in our relationship as Father and Daughter, which heartened me, as growing up was rough and I felt he never really deeply cared about any of us children.

George then brought people forward that in no way could he have known about. (even a younger man and his Father. George gave their names. George was puzzled at first as he said I have Ed....Eddie, ..but wait it is not a male that was named Edward and nicknamed Eddie it is two men Ed and Eddie who have passed. (Eddie committed suicide years and years ago and Ed had just passed recently without anyone really expecting him to.) My Aunt Mary who suddenly passed the same year my Father had died and lived across the country from him for most of their lives. A family friend we called Uncle Bob (no relation just an endearment) came through. George said Uncle Bob keeps saying in a playful manner tell her Uncle Bob is here, tell her Uncle Bob is here. I initally said "Don't understand" and then it hit me who it was and that was just like him, banging on our front door and saying Uncle Bob is here (he would show up just in time each week when I was a child to watch Sheena Queen of the Jungle" with us)
.
I had purchased a phone recorder setup so I could record the call and then review, so if names came up that I initally couldn't place, perhaps I could later. (this came to pass. I also had a pad and pen and scribbled down when I could what was taking place. Near the end of the reading George switched to me, much to my surprise, described my work and living situation and said it had seemed like I was walking in a rut but soon there would be an abrupt change and to go with it. I was puzzled. (The next year without any warning I was laid off and was forced to move as I lived in the building where I worked.) He mentioned my being somewhat a loner and said he was also and not to worry that I "wasn't missing much" (of what goes on in the world) and laughed. then he said you love your animals as I do and aren't they wonderful and a comfort? Now how would he know about my cats? And my taking care of 16 horses? (he didn't mention the number of horses).

He just kept pulling people up and there are many who have passed. I could see someone coming up with a few people, but he came up with numerous ones. Ones that because of my work (nurse) had slipped to the back of my mind, until he mentioned them.

In doing all this like I said, he asked for NO information nothing other than "understand" "don't understand" If I stated "don't understand" he'd say "keep the name in mind, it will come to you." (I scribbled them down and for many of them, later identified them)

George is a gentle soft spoken man who is self effacing...even after telling me he'd keep me in his prayers he then said "could you do the same for me?" He was so earnest at one point he said "I have an Aunt Mary" "oh darn, well most everyone has an Aunt Mary and I do so want this to be a great reading for you, and I had to laugh and say "George I HAVE an Aunt Mary (my father's sister who I mentioned before)

I still have the tape and the notes I scribbled down, but when the reading was over I was so overwhelmed I set them aside for many months and just mulled over what I had been told.

I am sure there is much more I could tell you and they will probably pop up after I send this email.

I will say I have talked with folks who work/volunteer for Compassionate Friends who shared with me their experiences when they sought readings with him. One woman said she just a few days before her scheduled face to face reading gave up her spot to a family who had called for counseling, who had just lost their 4 year old daughter and the session was video taped (as they all are) and the family allowed her to watch it later and she said she was so amazed and to watch the relief of the family when they just knew George was in touch with that little girl and described her, her likes and enjoyments in life etc.

Well I have run on and on. If you need anymore info feel free to email me.

P.S. I would just suggest to anyone considering George to not be nervous and know they will come away with tears of joy and the knowledge they have truly been in touch with their loved one/
