The Spiritual Climate of 2025

We are in a rare astrological moment—with seven planets in Pisces, the most intuitive, mystical sign in the zodiac. This alignment is catalyzing a mass awakening. It's a call for humanity to go within and reconnect with their soul. According to Van Praagh, “This isn't the only place to learn—there are worlds within worlds, and this is just one school for the soul.”

He emphasizes that Earth is among the densest realms where souls come to learn hard lessons—about love, judgment, forgiveness, and awakening.

Mediumship: A Gateway to Soul Awareness

James shares that mediumship isn’t just about communicating with the departed—it’s a sacred path to soul realization. “Mediumship works for the soul. Through it, we become aware of who we truly are as spiritual beings.”

He recounts his own journey from skeptic to gifted medium—sparked by early-life spiritual encounters, intuitive family lineage, and eventually, years of dedicated training. One of his most poignant messages: being a medium does not automatically make someone spiritual. True spirituality, he says, stems from intention, love, and humility.

The Soul's Journey and the Life Review

What happens when we die? James offers a deeply comforting perspective based on over four decades of mediumship.

  • When the soul leaves the body, it immediately feels free, light, and at peace.

  • A life review follows, where we experience the ripple effects of our words, actions, and thoughts—not from judgment, but for understanding and soul growth.

  • “You meet everything you put out,” he says. “That becomes your heaven or hell.”

This realization should inspire us to live kindly and mindfully, knowing that everything we do leaves an energetic imprint.

Trauma, Loss & Awakening

Van Praagh explains that many spiritual awakenings are triggered by loss or trauma. Whether through the passing of a loved one or a near-death experience, grief often becomes a spiritual doorway. “Grief is all the love left over,” he reflects. But he adds that awakening doesn't require suffering—it can also be nurtured through meditation, intuition, and conscious curiosity.

Guides, Dimensions & Life Beyond This Life

We’re never alone. Souls often become guides for their loved ones, especially if they felt they didn’t “do enough” in life. Van Praagh says guides come and go as we grow, helping with specific phases or tasks. Some are ancestral, some are soul-group companions, and some are experts in fields like healing or art.

The other side, according to him, is not a static “heaven,” but a vibrant continuation of learning. Souls explore creative passions, heal, serve others, and even train to assist those still in human form.

Intuition: The Voice of the Soul

James reminds us that our intuition is our greatest ally. “The tuning fork of nature is your intuition—it’s the voice of the soul.” By quieting the mind and opening the heart, we can receive guidance, recognize truth, and live in greater alignment with our spiritual purpose.

Energy Hygiene and Spiritual Practices

Van Praagh encourages us to regularly cleanse our energetic body—especially for empaths. A simple yet powerful daily practice he recommends:

  • While in the shower, visualize golden light washing over you, clearing fear and negativity.

  • Imagine heavy energy draining from your body and out of your fingertips and toes.

  • Then, program your energy field by setting the intention: “May love go before me and show me the way.”

These practices align us with higher frequencies and attract more peace, clarity, and love into our lives.

Conclusion: The time for awakening is now

Looking ahead, James foresees more people awakening to their soul nature. While challenges like war, economic shifts, and environmental crises may occur, these difficulties are here to awaken us—to bring us closer together in community and spiritual resilience.

You are not here by accident. You are here to remember who you truly are—a soul of infinite light and love. Let this reminder spark your own evolution forward.
