title: Windows Without Walls: Insights of a Psychic Medium
author: Robert E. Hansen
description: ROBERT E. HANSEN was born in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New York into an Irish Catholic and law enforcement family. Shortly after, he and his family moved to Long Island where he attended Cure of Ars Catholic School. Later, he attended Mepham High School, excelling in football, wrestling and track. He earned a degree in Education (Elementary and Psychology) from CW Post College. Robert has studied martial arts since he was 11. At age 21 the Department of Treasury hired him to be their defensive tactics teacher. In this capacity he would soon find himself working with the Nassau County Police Department, NYPD, the FBI and the Secret Service. In 1972 he opened his first martial arts school in Baldwin NY. Some years later, his prowess was honored by Black Belt Magazine with three consecutive National Instructor of the Year awards. Robert studied Zen Buddhism at the New York Zendo Shobo-Ji in Manhattan and Dai Bosatsu Zendo Kongo-Ji monastery in the Catskill Mountains. In addition, he spearheaded the largest program on Long Island for children with special needs. This program ran from 1987 until he retired from it in 2005. The program helped thousands of children with multiple physical disabilities, as well as autism and cerebral palsy. Around 1993 Roberts gift of mediumship materialized quite unexpectedly. He meditates daily, which has been a catalyst in nurturing his psychic abilities. Robert is married with four children and recently became a grandfather. He is a huge sports fan (especially hockey and football).

  The transference of emotion is a phenomenon so common, so
  
  
  constantly witnessed, that mankind in general have long ceased to be
  
  
  conscious of its existence, as a thing worth our wonder or
  
  
  consideration, regarding it as being as natural and commonplace as the
  
  
  transference of things that act by the ascertained laws of matter.
  
  
  Nobody, for instance, is surprised, if when the room is too hot, the
  
  
  opening of a window causes the cold fresh air of outside to be
  
  
  transferred into the room, and in the same way no one is surprised
  
  
  when into the same room, perhaps, which we will imagine as being
  
  
  peopled with dull and gloomy persons, there enters some one of fresh
  
  
  and sunny mind, who instantly brings into the stuffy mental atmosphere
  
  
  a change analogous to that of the opened wi
