In my teenage years, nothing mattered to me more than being an artist. At school I was obsessed with oil painting and sculpture, and despite the fact that I passed all my science and other exams with flying colors and could have picked the university of my choice, I wanted nothing more than to be an artist. I approached art with the single-mindedness of a sadhu , and I was prepared to sacrifice anything, and to give up everything, to be an artist.

During the process of identifying my Naadi, the first leaf stated that I had once been an artist—a simple line of words describing something that had once consumed my life. This was enflamed further when I took LSD and realized the vastness of the human perceptions and how blind we were to the world around us. Through my opened perceptions, the world I saw was filled with a billion colors that resonated with sound and form, and cascaded into intricate webs of multilayered patterns. The mind, too, was now opened to vast landscapes of imagination and possibilities that I somehow had to express on canvas.

Painting also connected me with my intuition and the spirit world. When immersed in a creative activity, ideas would appear out of nowhere and fill my awareness. They were fully formed and extraordinarily beautiful visions that I simply had to hold long enough in my mind’s eye to copy. It was the ultimate in plagiarism—all I had to do was reproduce what I was seeing. Today, when I work as a medium, these same “oven-ready” images and words come to my mind when I give a spirit contact. I just seem to know everything about the person in spirit and about the person sitting in front of me. I cannot explain where they come from. Proofs of survival and messages of hope simply emerge out of the universe. Similarly, when I was painting, I felt my hand was being guided by a muse that communicated ideas and information in a similar way to the way we mediums receive messages from our spirit guides and helpers.

The psychologist Hans Eysenck and others have suggested that there is a link between alleged psychic powers and creativity. Imaginative, creative people and patricianly artists score better in ESP tests. Some argue that psychic people are on the edge of madness but use their intelligence and working memory to cope, and to stop them from being overwhelmed—like a person who, to borrow the philosopher Soren Kierkegaard’s phrase, “drowns in possibility.” High-risk takers, optimists, and extrovert personality types also tend to score higher in ESP tests (such as Zener card tests for telepathy) than people with a neurotic disposition or systematic thinkers.

When it comes to testing miracles and psychic phenomena, I believe that there are other factors that need to be taken into account that transcend the materialistic viewpoint. As I explained in the chapter about Sathya Sai Baba, it may be the case that when presented with the impossible, the observer enters a reality that most suits his spiritual position.
