Alexander Murray has made his home in New York City for over thirty years. Born in Oakland , CA , he came east in pursuit of a musical career and, since that time, has called New York his home and himself, a New Yorker. Alexander Murray was aware of his psychic gifts at a very early age but did not think much about them until others made him aware that they were something special. He felt comfortable with communicating with the world of spirits which most people found strange.

His mother was exceedingly intuitive and encouraged him in every way to be more empathetic and sensitive to people. His father was demanding and self-centered and Alex perfected his abilities to anticipate through telepathy whatever pleased his father most as a means of trying to get his father's approval. His interest in both art and music also contributed to his unfolding sensitivity.

Having first intended to pursue an art career he then switched to music as a more practical means of sustaining himself outside of his family. It was his pursuit of a musical career that brought him to New York City as a very young man. During his early days in New York he encountered a number of people who were themselves involved in psychic things. One of whom sent him to a man by the name of Clifford Bias (who was later to become his teacher and mentor) for a psychic reading during which Bias told him many true things as well as saying that Alex would one day be doing the work that he was doing. Alex did not fully comprehend the meaning of these words at the time and continued his musical career as a professional bass player freelancing in New York City

Later, he met a friend who told him about a teacher whose name was Agatha Wojiechowsky, simply known as Agatha by her many students. Agatha recognized his talents from their first meeting telling him “You're a medium” to which he replied to himself, “I wonder if she says that to everyone…” However, a part of him responded in a knowing recognition of the truth within her words. And so he returned, over and over, to her psychic development group where she also sat as a medium (or channel as they're now known.) After a while, Alex began to feel as though the spirit forces were trying to work through him and Agatha assured him that they were. From that time on, she adopted him as her protégé. He spent a number of years with Agatha who sent him to Clifford Bias for classes as well so that he was studying with both of these older, wonderful teachers who were famous for their abilities. Bias also made him a protégé and oversaw his development as a public psychic and speaker.

His teachers, both being older persons, wanted him to take over for them in their work, but Alex still held the notion that he was going to spend his life in the music profession. They urged him to consider the possibility that a life of service and spiritual work was not only more significant but more satisfying as a life work. So, Alex said, “Well, if the force wishes me to do this work, I'm ready. But I need to see in real terms that it is a work that can sustain me in all ways materially as well as spiritually for at least three months. And if I see that, then I will accept the challenge and do it.”

From that moment, work began to come to Alex. People called for private readings. Others asked him to teach classes. He was asked to lecture and, altogether, he saw the path opening before him which he willingly followed. After the three months elapsed he had had his demonstration from the Universe that this was the ‘way-to-go.' And, simultaneously, all of his musical work evaporated!

As Bias and Agatha grew older, he continued his studies, turning to other teachers as well. He studied Numerology with the famed author and teacher Vera Scott Johnson as well as tarot with the well-known lecturer and reader Burtram “Burt” Heckel. He also studied Astrology with Charles House.

Agatha also taught him how to be a healing channel for which she was internationally famous. From that time on, Alex let his career be guided by the forces that worked with him both on earth and on the other side. Without any plan or strategy, his career proceeded to unfold, growing in many directions simultaneously.

During that time, he was sought by many kinds of persons for a variety of reasons. Some sought private information of a personal nature through readings. Others sought to grow spiritually through the channeling of spiritual masters and teachers, which he did for groups on a weekly basis (and still continues to do.) Others sought to learn through his workshops and seminars while there were those who sought information on larger issues and global matters including political leaders, news paper and television reporters, and authors.

His channelings conducted at the United Nations for the Parapsychology Society drew large international audiences. As a result of his teaching, Alex was invited to go to different places around the country, which he did from the very beginning of his career. He gave workshops and seminars in many of the large cities in the United States . From these appearances, Alex received invitations to lecture and teach abroad. He began traveling overseas to Europe and to Scandinavia and eventually to South America, particularly to Peru and Brazil as a guest lecturer and psychic consultant. These appearances were quickly followed by invitations to be a teacher on a regular basis. And so, each year, he made a number of visits abroad, sometimes working with interpreters, but always making himself very well understood. Even doing channeling for non-English speaking persons.

At this time Alex made a number of famous predictions. One of which was the election of an unknown candidate as president of Brazil , Fernando Collor De Mello, which happened as he predicted.

This and other predictions drew the attention of the press and news media and since that time, he has been frequently interviewed by both concerning psychic events and, from time to time, asked to make psychic predictions.

Alex has always been a rather quiet and private person (though he enjoys people greatly). He has not sought to be a celebrity though he is very well known within his field. Some of his clients have been with him for over 25 years. However, he does find his way into books and magazines. An entire chapter is devoted to Alex in the book, Channelers, A New Age Directory (The Putnam Publishing Group). Brother Lion by Jeanne Livingston (Health Communications, Inc.) is a collection of teachings channeled by Alex during his regular group trance sessions in New York .

Alex is featured in Psychic New York by Particia Collins (City and Company, New York ). Most recently, an extensive, channeled communication done via automatic writing can be found in the book, The Haunting of the Presidents by Martin and Birnes (Signet) as well as innumerable periodicals both here and abroad, in English and in foreign languages.
