Teachers / Mediums
The search for a spiritual teacher is a personal one. It is important to find an energetic compatibility with one’s teacher. Teachers and mediums from around the world that I have learned a great deal from are shown below. Truth has many faces these days, so don’t hesitate to ask a spiritual teacher, what is the source of their truth.
Medium Robert Carr
Robert is a mental medium based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He has studied with some of the most accomplished mediums in the world: the U.S., England, Holland, Scotland and New Zealand. His focus at this time is in the area of mental mediumship and he is dedicated to serving as a telephone between the Earth and Spirit Worlds. Robert’s clientele consists of people from the Santa Fe area and other states throughout the U.S.
Robert has developed the ability to communicate with spirit guides and loved ones and is passionate about bringing forth the love and sincerity of these communications. He approaches his work with humility and helping his clients to better understand the process of spirit communication and life in the Spirit World. If I (Tom Newman) am asked for the name of a medium in the Santa Fe area whose mediumship I have confidence in, Robert is the person that comes to my mind.

If you ever get a chance to sit with him, it will be most beneficial to your development.

Hoyt is not planning to visit Santa Fe in the near future. If you get a chance to experience his work anywhere in the U.S., jump at the opportunity. The work he and his spirit team can do is amazing.
Hoyt hands a sealed package of 3″ by 5″ index cards to one of the sitters in the room and asked the individual to open the package and see if any of the cards has any markings on them. The individual reports back that all cards are blank. They 
are then dropped into a basket (10″ in diameter) a third at a time. After the first layer of cards is placed into the basket, Hoyt drops in two handfuls of colored pens, markers and pastel crayons.
Buddha’s Village
He then adds two more layers of cards and markers and then places the lid on the basket.
Each sitter completes a billet before the séance starts. The sitter addresses the billet to loved ones and guides in Spirit and writes a question. The billets are collected by the host and placed into a wooden box. Hoyt puts strips of medical tape across his eyes and then puts on a black blindfold. Hoyt holds each billet and gives out the names of spirit people who are standing around him. The sitter who can take these names speaks up and then Spirit gives Hoyt the answer to the question which he gives to the sitter.
While Hoyt is giving blindfold billet readings to the sitters, the Spirit people are producing “precipitated art” by taking ink from the pens and markers and applying it to the 3′ by 5′ index cards. They will produce portraits, drawings, landscapes, images of animals or flowers onto the front of the cards. The images on some cards will appear as clear as a photograph. On the back of the card will be your name along with the names of some of your loved ones, guides, teachers and friends.
The physical phrase of mediumship in these séances will produce “Precipitated Art” inspired by the Spirit artists, angels and loved ones. The artists will draw ink from the markers and pens and apply it to the 3″ by 5″ index cards. On the front of the card will be a painting of a spirit guide, a loved one or an image of animals, flowers or other objects. On the back of the card will be your name and the names of your spirit guides, family and friends.
Once Hoyt has finished giving the billet readings, he removed the mask and tape from his eyes and then opens the basket. There amongst all the markers and pens, he will bring out the cards and distribute them to everyone at the event.
If you ever get a chance to sit in one of Hoyt’s card circles, I recommend you do it….this form of physical mediumship is so rare and the cards are amazing.
The pictures in this section are ones that Tom has received from several of Hoyt’s card circles.
