Channeling Princess Diana, Mother Teresa and Julius Caesar

This chick, say she channels Princess Diana amongst others.

Quote:
Marcia is a gifted intuitive channel for Diana and Mother Teresa, as well as having served professionally as an art teacher for almost 25 years. Marcia is listed in Who's Who in America (2003, 2004) and also Who's Who in the World (2004) for her professional accomplishments including her lovely watercolors of Princess Diana. Marcia has taught art at many colleges and K-12 schools, and currently teaches art history for a small mid western college. Marcia’s work with Diana is having an impact on the peace process for Israel and Palestine, amongst those diplomats who knew Diana in life! Her work as a confirmed channel for Princess Diana is corroborated from many famous psychics, and she is developing an international presence on behalf of Princess Diana’s intervention in world affairs. Marcia does radio and TV interviews and speaks for organizations.
Who exactly confirms that she is channeling Princess Diana? And why is Julius Caesar speaking to her in English?

Princess Di must be busy. Diane Tessman claims to channel her, too. I've been to this woman's house, I can tell you stories, man.

Do tell.

I always love it when "successful" psychics are hawking their junk and have ads all over their websites to help pay for it. If they can't afford a website, how successful are they???

I corrected your typos Lisa.

Well, for starters her desktop was a medievil portrait of hell, complete with demons biting people in half and everything. There seemed to be only one outlet in the whole house that had power and everything ran off of long orange extension cords from there. Some rooms were gated off for dogs and one of these rooms was open to an outside pen, humans obviously didn't go into these rooms. House was very secluded, couldn't be seen from the road and looked deserted when you actually cleared the tree line. It was the files on the computer that really, and I mean, really freaked me out. Oh, the things we computer nerds see on occasion. To my credit, I removed the most viruses I've ever seen from that computer without any loss of data to the user, but those pictures were of horrors best left unsaid. Nothing illegal, reportable, or sexual, but things no normal person should be looking at.

Along what lines? Violence? Torture? Disco? Nun/goat porn?

What's wrong with nun/goat porn ? Or....do you mean like when they're together ? You can't understand love until you've experienced it at the hands of a nun or been sweet-talked by bleeting sheep.

You do realise now that we all want to know what the pictures were?

The surreal part was when I had to show her that you couldn't have 300 icons on your desktop so I showed her how to make folders to organize things, nazi atrocities in this folder, crime scene photos in this folder, etc., made even worse by the hell desktop photo. So she sat there as I looked at many of these pictures and it just seemed normal to her. I'm pretty open and don't judge anyone, but this sweet, nice lady must have a whole 'nother side. I got the impression that she's one of these psychics that truly believe that they channel and speak to spirits. I can see where people like this must have deep underlying psychological problems that may manifest when the "voices" tell them to do things. These weren't from a night of downloading, it must have taken years and I'm sure many were from private sources and couldn't be found on the internet. Yes, I walked away from there not only feeling sorry for her but saw the very worst things people could do to other poeple. To see nazis shoveling babies and heads into mass graves is something you think you can stand but, well, I really can't put it into words, and to see not one, but hundreds of pictures like this will stick with you for years.

That's why I've privately kept tabs on Ms. Tessman and drop in on her various web pages every once in while to see what direction she is going in. I even try her e-mails once in a while but rarely get a reply. I've often thought about writing a book about this whole experience so if there's any publishers out there and you'd like to know all the details, just let me know, I've only touched the tip of this iceberg.

Are you sure there's nothing to interest the authorities?

Just had a peek at her site and this worries me

Did you check the cellar?

Not sure what household that would be. Her house here in Iowa was a ranch style on a cement slab. With the dogs taking over some rooms that left one bedroom, a living room, bathroom, and kitchen. There were some outbuildings, however... Last time I checked, she still lived there.
