I totally understand that what I do is controversial. Many of them have been candid and even called you a fraud. I have to be hyper-aware of all the changes that go on in my body and really be able to figure out what that means, if it’s relevant, and extract the message from the sensation, which is the difficult part. I think the sixth sense uses the other five senses to communicate. It brings up a lot more questions than answers.īut do you feel a sensation running through your body? Do you feel drained afterward? Enlivened? What?Īll the above. Human beings are limited to understand things so huge. It lives in the same world as we do, but it wouldn’t be able to know through its limited perspective. I liken it to … if you were to take a cockroach and try to explain arithmetic to it, the cockroach would not understand. I found that we are limited in our perception of the big-picture idea. I had my own questions in wanting to understand the other side and what comes next and our role in the universe. If we understood what it really entailed, it would reflect our purpose here. Well, I think “What’s on the other side?” is really humanity’s greatest question. What is it about the other side, or beyond death, that you find so intriguing? It got overwhelming because people began coming to my door at, like, eight in the morning, because they knew where I lived.īoth of those arenas - hospice work and being a medium - involve dealing with life and death in unique ways. I had to make a decision at 16 when I was trying to become a hospice nurse - stick with school or to expand the readings. But she was really insistent about it and it really took my life in a whole other direction. The idea of being a “Hollywood” medium seemed really strange. ![]() I wanted to share my ability privately and work through hospice. At the time, it wasn’t on my agenda list. I did see a psychic and she told me that I would share my ability on stage. In your wildest dreams, did you ever think you would go from that to being a Hollywood medium on E!? You were originally going to be a hospice nurse. And it was a big lesson and we all became closer as a result. But I think when my family knew better, they did better. It required some explanation and some demonstration for him to “get” it. Initially, he did not understand what any of that was. I waited six years to tell my father about my ability. They knew I was having experiences but they didn’t give it much thought in terms of what it could mean. ![]() What was it like coming out to your family as a medium? Coming out as gay was really something that … well, it was not one coming out. That really was the catalyst that brought me down this path. For me, my work as a medium began when I was 10 years old when I got a premonition about my grandmother’s death. I was in a religious household and we never talked about spirituality or mediums, or anything like that. I came from a really conservative Christian community in Central California. You have had two unique coming-out experiences - one as a gay man, the other as a medium. Here, Henry opens up about his unconventional life path and all that it entails.
