Introduction to Dunfermline A.S.K.
Welcome to Dunfermline Association of Spiritualists and Kindred Spirits, also known as Dunfermline A.S.K.
Dunfermline A.S.K. is a non denominational organisation, which promotes Spiritualism through Divine Services every Sunday, Demonstrations of Mediumship, Spiritual Healing, Private Consultations,(readings), Workshops and Open Days for the public.
Dunfermline A.S.K. is a Registered Charity in Scotland (SC 035437) and was formed in April 2004 for the purpose of bringing Spiritualism and a wider knowledge of the spirit, to those that wish to further develop their own awareness of their spiritual path or may indeed just be curious. Our founding member, Jock McArthur sadly for us, made his transition back into the world of spirit in February 2012. Jock has made his presence known in many ways for many people around the country and world, leaving no doubt for those that have seen, heard and felt him, that there is indeed a place out of sight and just a breath away that we go to when we shed the physical body. If you receive contact from Jock that you are in no doubt about, please let us know we would be delighted to know.
As Dunfermline A.S.K. is non denominational, we welcome people of any faith or religion to join us for any of the activities provided.
Many of our events are held in the Community Centre at Mercer Place, Touch in Dunfermline, however Dunfermline ASK is represented through events and seminars throughout Fife; Scotland and also abroad.
As with many Spiritualist Organisations we have adopted the seven principles of Emma Britten.

Psychics and Mediums
Most people think that a psychic is also a medium or vice versa. However, these two terms are totally different from one another. If you want to get the services of a psychic or a medium, you have to know their different capabilities in order to get accurate insights into the spiritual world.
First of all, a medium has psychic abilities but not all psychics work as mediums.
A medium can directly communicate with the spirits in the afterlife. This special ability can not be performed by someone working psychically.
A medium serves as a channel between the physical world and the world of the non-physical, the sole purpose of this exchange is to prove survival, give spiritual healing and give hope eternal to the bereaved, this is beyond the abilities of any psychic.
On the other hand, a psychic might foretell the future by using several ways. For example, a psychic might provide insights for you concerning relationships, career, money, or love by reading your own aura or energy.
A medium can foresee these things or future events, however will not normally pass it on to a recipient, except on very general terms. It is not the Medium or the spirit world’s job to direct a recipient’s life in any way shape or form
A medium reads the messages from the spirits in the afterlife. This means the reader will just transmit to the sitter the messages or signals from the spiritual world.
In contrast, a psychic reads your aura and the presence that could influence your future. This means that a psychic directly interacts with the sitter and will not be able to contact the spirits at all.
In most cases, a psychic can commercialise his or her abilities.
This is rarely seen among mediums because they can lose their ability to communicate with the spirits if they commercialise their services beyond what is necessary for their well being.
A psychic and a medium are different from each other. Just remember that a psychic reads your aura to foretell your future while a medium works with the messages from the spirit world.
Guidelines for Divine Service
Dunfermline A.S.K. is aware that mediums offer their own time and effort to work with the spirit world, to provide support and prove of life after physical death to patrons.
However we also acknowledge that this work must be delivered in a dignified, honest, professional manner with integrity.
We therefore respectively request that any medium working within Dunfermline A.S.K. on Sunday’s be dressed suitably, with men wearing shirt and ties.
If a visiting medium wishes to bring a trainee or new medium, please call to advise so that we can make the necessary arrangements.
The order of service is as follows:
First Hymn
Opening Prayer,
Healing Minute
Second Hymn
Address and Philosophy
Short Meditation
Short demonstration of Mediumship
Closing Prayer
