MAX WRIGHT

Edited transcript of the Live Chat with Max Wright, on the 21st March 20001

Interviewer: Tonight we will be chatting to Max from scream test. Hi Max, how are you and where are you tonight?
Max Wright: I'm very well thank you and I’m home tonight to take this call. On the show tonight it looked like I might have spent too much time in the staff canteen *laughs*

Interviewer: omega: how long have you been a psychic?
Max Wright: Well I’ve had the ability all my life but I didn't discover it until a few years ago and I’m not a medium, I don't do that work but I do see and communicate with the other side regularly

Interviewer: evilcthul: Max: Leading most of your life in denial of your psychic ability and having worked many professions? Do you feel your psychic work is the most rewarding? You also have an uncanny ability to guide spirits.. Have you ever aided any in finding the other side?
Max Wright: Yes, psychic ability is rewarding because it reminds me of the immortality of humans and that life is eternal my business partner and I have resident spirits in our practice so I communicate with their personalities regularly and I have release spirits even from the Scream Test sites after the shoots

Interviewer: aaaahhhhhhhhhh: I just wanted to say the Show is FANTASTIC.... I am enjoying it... my question is What is the best way to ensure only good spirit contact is made and not bad?
Max Wright: It's your own personal attitude just as in human life, people who hang around ugly energy are creating ugly energy for themselves its the same on the other side, if you want drama you will get it but if you want happiness you won't be bothered by these spirits

Interviewer: Guest48559: Max how does it feel like talking to ghosts?? Like the man in the bell tower?
Max Wright: That was amusing in the bell tower because I don’t normally speak in that way I just do it mentally, for television, speaking amused me as much as it did some of the viewers who told me they were amused, I took a fancy to that bloke even though he was a callous old dude

Interviewer: m16_00: Hi Max, How are you this evening. I was wondering if my house was haunted. What are some common signs of Paranormal Activity?
Max Wright: Well like our friend tonight, he was picking up the emotional system of the presence in the room and if your feeling balanced and you have feelings in you that you cant explain it may be a presence in the room, however the presences on scream test, are lower level energy, and if your living a normal kind of life the odds are that no presences are haunting you, it depends on your psychic openness

Interviewer: sooki: What made you believe you were psychic?
Max Wright: Because it was there, there wasn't any choice about it, but it opened up wider when I began to explore myself on the path to enlightenment because you begin to tune in to the non-material world

Interviewer: Dan: Is there any definite way to tell you are Psychic?
Max Wright: Go and see other psychics, get books out, begin to turn off bad news stories from the TV and radio that keep you in fear, go into nature ask your mid-brain to move to a higher consciousness

Interviewer: Guest07270: OK so there are ghosts Max - but are some really "evil" and try to hurt people?
Max Wright: Good question if you equate ghosts with humans are there evil humans? To feel love for yourself and others we need to try and understand other people’s behaviors and where they come from

Interviewer: dork: One of the episodes had you talking to an old man who was being difficult. You said something like good things could come from this for you. What did you mean and what happened?
Max Wright: One of the problems with an hour show is that it comes from around 15 hours of material and what I was saying to him was a fraction of what I said I was trying to tell him I could clear some of his heavy energy from him and I did do that after the program was shot

Interviewer: lainelr: do you think by blessing a house you can abolish spirits???
Max Wright: By blessing yourself, respecting yourself you are always protected If you are a rescuer of people, you will also be a rescuer of spirits and they will suck your energy, you need to learn to protect your energy you can ask the spirits to go away and that your their friend, but you can't do anything else for them

Interviewer: rusty_wolv: why are ghosts trap in places,,,,why don't they just move on?
Max Wright: Their trapped of their own choosing, in what is called the Infra red band again like humans, they have emotional addiction they want to keep going back to the past to have somebody approve of them. It's a bit like a blowfly in your kitchen they can see where they want to go but they can't get through the glass

Interviewer: tenirese: Max: what’s the most 'physical' experience you ever had with a paranormal entity?
Max Wright: I've had many experiences, sometimes the presences emotions are so strong in pain that I feel the pain in my body I haven't ever been pushed or physically touched in that way however it happens every now and then to people

Interviewer: epod: I am curious about whether any of the contestants have been followed home by spirits
Max Wright: Thank you, many times, for example Maitland jail, the morning after in the motel I cleared all the contestants but one and did follow-up clearings on the telephone

Interviewer: evilcthul: Max: If you sense or know there is a presence in the room would it be best to a) recite a prayer, b) run for your life or c) reason with the presence?
Max Wright: You are assuming that the presence is dead *laughs* but it ain't, its living in another form, there is nowhere that you can go you can run but you can't hide *laughs* but if your question is serious, what I would do is have a chat, ask about the last life history of the presence they never intend to hurt you

Interviewer: scaredycat: max out of all the locations we have seen so far, which is the most haunted?
Max Wright: The locations are occupied by different energies for example tonight’s program would have been the most difficult for the producers to edit because no murders or sadism occurred which is why one of the contestants kept complaining about a sore back when people are dying, often their adrenal glands begin to drain, which weakens the lower back and pelvis, in other locations, people were murdered or victimized which effects other parts of the body more I personally was not scared because of practice

Interviewer: Guest78405: Max: do u get really scared when things go differently than you expect?
Max Wright: No, because nothing is permanent anything can happen but as long as you don't take on other peoples energy and other presences your always centred

Interviewer: clarkas\: Are there spirits in every building or place and does it depend on what’s happened there?
Max Wright: We would need another 3 hours to cover this essentially there are 7 heavens the spirits in scream test belong to the 1st heaven which is attached to the earth plane Einstein proved that time and space are different in outer space and thus it is possible and actual that different realms co-exist on different vibrations in the same space

Interviewer: babyfrightener: What do you see when u see ghosts spirits etc.?
Max Wright: I see them from my mid brain which is not the same as through the eyes but the eyes anyway are really only reflectors from the brain we see what we are educated to see I am basically clairsentient and my feeling skills are much more heightened than my listening skills. My seeing skill are developing all the time and come a close 2nd

Interviewer: SoulGrind: is it true that animals can see ghosts?
Max Wright: Animals are like humans in that way they might hear or sense or see their sharpened senses often come about simply because they spend more time in nature

Interviewer: Lol: you talk about ugly energy attracting ugly energy... but in tonight’s show, we saw unexplained noise from ward 1 and the producer having to check the safety of the ward prior to continuing- is there a fear that constants could be in danger on the show from spirits that might suddenly expose themselves? It seemed the noise wasn't attracted from ugly energy tonight...
Max Wright: This is a territorial issue, the contestants and crew went to the home of the spirits so they are more likely to be disturbed but all their actions come from their own fear, not from a wish to hurt the humans remember that a lot of fear amongst humans comes from fear of assault and spirits can't do that

Interviewer: aaaaaaandz: Max what do you say to people when they tell you they don’t believe in ghosts?
Max Wright: I respect what they say because before I discovered my own ability I held the same belief one day in my 20's I was told by a voice that I would become spiritual later in my life I denied the voice, the next morning I woke to see my own body asleep in the bed and I almost freaked out for years after that I lived in resistance but when I eventually relaxed the happiness in my life began

Interviewer: dork: Does strong emotion at death lead to the spirits you see or are all people 'here' after death?
Max Wright: After people die the great majority of them return to the plane of bliss they then meet other spiritual beings to plan the emotional issues they will confront on their next life the plane of bliss is restorative in earth years people can be on the plane of bliss for say 100 years the ones who are trapped are trapped from their own attitudes Presences are free to move from place to place within the universe so what is in your house on Wednesday, might be a long way away on Thursday the presences that are trapped haven't yet discovered their true power to go anywhere

Interviewer: Leisa: Max, what do find is the most common question people ask you when they come to you for help?
Max Wright: Most of my work is conventional therapy and I deal with all kinds of issues I mentioned earlier that I’m not a medium so I don't spend a lot of time connecting loved ones from one side to the other I’m interested in helping people to master their emotions and therefore become joyful usually people look to authority figures to approve of them or to tell them if they are happy if we need an authority figure we are unhappy. I am not an authority figure.

Interviewer: Astral: Do you believe a spirit/ghost can physically harm a person?
Max Wright: Some people say yes, I have seen on TV in the USA small cut open on a mans stomach from a presence in a house I repeat what I said earlier, I believe that man was tormenting the spirits so he got back what he gave out You don't have to fear the unknown its your attitude that counts

Interviewer: allen: max how do u cope with the ghosts when everyone else seems to cower what is your secret???
Max Wright: I love all humanity, and all creation that’s the secret of enlightenment

Interviewer: Bidda: Max do spirits have different agendas for example, in your experience do some know you are there and remain dormant whilst others deliberately interact?
Max Wright: Good questions again, apply it too humans, some humans are so self absorbed and numb they don't notice much around them others notice everything its similar but it depends on the vibration of the spirit.

Interviewer: Guest01385: Max: Do you believe one person’s aura can physically affect another person?
Max Wright: If what you mean is their energy field, definitely. Speaking is only about 1/4 or less of communication, much subconscious communication comes through energy violation therefore we all walk around, if we are not aware, feeling other peoples sickness and thinking its ours.

Interviewer: Guest33195: do you think spirits pick certain people to communicate with and why?
Max Wright: Yes, and the reasons are as vast as the sand on the beach. Often psychic people don't know how to close down the invitational energy and those little old suckers drain it. That’s one reason, another is that relatives and friends want to get a message that they love somebody, or they seek forgiveness, it’s just so numerous

Interviewer: hipkarma: have you had to seek assistance from the angelic or other light spirits when dealing with confused entities?
Max Wright: Not really, my belief is that all power resides in the self but that’s not to say that friends aren't around I often clear spirits and ask that higher vibrational energy looks after them its always the spirits choice whether to stay or go, and that doesn't affect me

Interviewer: float: do you ever feel threatened as if some actual bodily harm may come to you - or is it more that these spirits are reaching out for your help
Max Wright: I feel I get more threats from humans who say I’m crazy spirits know for sure *laughs* that I ain't I feel compassionate towards spirits and I will always help them as long as I’m not drained in the process

Interviewer: Guest97841: Max, can ghosts sense love? Is it possible to comfort them?
Max Wright: Yes, apply it to humans again, ghosts and humans fear the thing they want the most, and that’s love so we set up, come-go relationships so that should someone reject us we can pretend that we did it first ghosts on our level are looking for love, but don't realize its in themselves

Interviewer: guest: Have you moved any spirits on from any of the locations?
Max Wright: Yes many, but a commercial consideration came in every now and then for example at Monte Cristo, the owners of the house earn income from their beloved ghosts so I wasn't going to interfere in that situation

Interviewer: sk: in relation to my earlier question about sprits hanging around what I have been told is that everyone has a job 2 do and if that is not fulfilled the sprit is stuck. Is this true?
Max Wright: It depends on your definition of "Job" I’ve spent my life looking for jobs not to do we are always being asked by the universe to "Be" not to "Do" can I get another point in, not necessarily to do with your question many people have asked me, if it was staged when I plucked the fear from the TV screen No it wasn't, if you've heard of Reiki, this act was a more sophisticated expression of that. Look up Reiki in your search engines.

Interviewer: MickRip: MaxWright: all this information is amazing - is there a book on this??
Max Wright: There will be *laughs* if you want to be on my mailing list write, via snail mail, so it doesn't clog the email PO Box 156, Sutherland NSW 1499

Interviewer: Chloe_4: How can you tell if you have a spirit guide around you?
Max Wright: Spirit guides are common beliefs and I respect the beliefs but I don’t' agree there are guides as I said earlier, all the power we need is within us, and any guides may simply be wise beings, you must take care though, because there are spiritual dumb-klutz out there I wouldn't take advice from anything coming through your sensory system without first checking with your own common sense

Interviewer: dragonseer: can spirits leave and came back any time they wish
Max Wright: Yes, there is no devil no vampire, and no controller of you except yourself the scream tests spirits believe they’re stuck and so they are and they don't listen to good advice

Interviewer: terry: are ghosts ever scared of us?
Max Wright: Yes, often more scared of us than we should be of them I did cover this earlier and I don't want to bore the 620 participants, but thanks

Interviewer: Guest59949: do you believe that some spirits have a distinct smell when they are present?
Max Wright: That is called olfactory and people who have written to me have that gift I don't seem to need it so try your search engines under olfactory and spirits

Interviewer: evilcthul: Have you met anyone on the show with true psychic ability that has yet to be awakened?
Max Wright: Some more than others, sometimes some contestants jam their energy in their heads to protect themselves and who can blame them everybody has psychic ability and everybody has self worth I was delighted to observe the unfolding of that amongst all contestants to some degree and I respect every one

Interviewer: mella: do you ever wonder if what you see is simply a manifestation of your own fear/imagination?
Max Wright: I use to believe that about those other kooks who were psychic when I wasn't its amazing what life experience can do for your attitude you are partly right, everything in our lives is a manifestation, in other words our own creation, and my manifestation was that I wanted to know more about the unknown and I can't tell you how beautiful that is

Interviewer: m16_00: How did the show come into contact with you?
Max Wright: Somebody rang me, I was part of a large number of auditions if they chose wisely I can't say, but I had a lot of fun doing it particularly in the staff canteen

Interviewer: tenirese: Max: And the ultimate question... Can a ghost kill?
Max Wright: Nothing ever dies, there is a transition, but seriously, I’ve never heard of it I suppose if someone has a weak heart a mouse could kill them

Interviewer: Thanks for your time Max it’s been great having you on here, do you have any final comments for the chatters?
Max Wright: Thank you very much for your interest, nobody is stupid, everybody is wise and the friendships I have gained from my experience have been invaluable. Thank you all for coming.
