Scholar of the inexplicable and curator of the bizarre. The Exorcism of Gottliebin Dittus: The True Story of the Most Extreme Demonic Possession in History Greetings karyn, In 1840, Gottliebin Dittus moved into a small apartment in Möttlingen, Germany. What followed has been described as the most extreme, most gruesome, and most chilling demonic possession in all history. Mysterious happenings, apparitions, black magic, and horrific physical phenomena of the worst variety, it led to the involvement of Johann Christoph Blumhardt, a Lutheran pastor who not merely documented the case, but performed an exorcism on Gottliebin. Today, his writings are remembered as The Black Forest Exorcism. Our thanks to The Paranormal Scholar

"The whole purpose of earthly life is to awaken dormant, slumbering souls to the reality of their existence. Your world is full of living sleepwalkers who go through the day’s activities in a dream. They are not awake, and they are dead to all reality. If you can touch one of these souls and kindle the divine ember so that gradually it is fanned into a living flame, there is no service comparable to that.” Guidance From Silver Birch p.65 This week's Friday Afterlife Report is now online at https://victorzammit.com/October28th2022

I would love to think that the lass running GlobalGreybooks is getting some money to keep her head well above water. To be so dedicated to literary knowledge and setting the price as a donation if you can is truly uplifting for me spiritually. In my communications with her she is always cordial and I would like to think she is scouring the books of the world in areas of interest to us all. Truly a cornucopia. Bless her.

Is “Speaking in Tongues” Evidence of a Spirit World? Michael Tymn 24 October 2022, 7:03 There are some stories so mindboggling, so weird, so utterly out of the norm, that people just shrug them off and give them no heed, seemingly assuming that they are pranks of some kind. The rational mind wants nothing to do with them. Parapsychologists apparently fear that even mentioning them will ruin their reputations. Such is the case with medium George Valiantine, (below) a direct-voice medium during the 1920s and early ‘30s. He may have produced the greatest mediumship ever, but he has gone down in history as nothing more than a fraud. One of the three books written by H. Dennis Bradley about Valiantine, Wisdom of the Gods, was recently reproduced by White Crow Books. As I was asked to write a Foreword and Afterword to the reproduction, I reread it after many years and am still scratching my head. Valiantine has been discussed in prior blogs here, in those of April 22, 2013, May 24, 2021 and June 7, 2021, all in archives at the left of this post. The most memorable and mindboggling phenomenon was produced during October 1926 when a “voice” came through in a Chinese dialect giving the name K’ung-fu-tzu, while saying that men called him Fu-Tzu, the names now given to Confucius, the renowned Chinese philosopher. The “voice” went on to dialogue with Professor Neville Whymant, a Chinese scholar who is said to have spoken 30 languages and was fluent in that Chinese dialect. The story rates no more than a scoff or a smirk with most people, but those willing to hear the complete story and fully consider the credentials and background of Whymant must certainly have some reservations about completely dismissing it as fraud. Consider also that Whymant attended 11 additional sittings, dialoguing with “voices” in 13 other languages, including Hindi, Persian, Basque, Sanskrit, Arabic, Portuguese, Italian, Yiddish, German and modern Greek.” They all took place at the New York City home of Judge William Cannon, one of the officers of the American Society for Psychical Research. Whymant also recorded that he observed Valiantine, who was not a trance medium, carrying on a conversation in “American English” with the person next to him while foreign languages were coming through the trumpet. “I am assured, too, that it is impossible for anyone to ‘throw his voice,’ this being merely an illusion of the ventriloquist,” he wrote. It is even more difficult to believe that Valiantine was a charlatan after reading Wisdom of the Gods and Bradley’s earlier book, Toward the Stars, as well as his last one, And After. The “Confucius voice” was not the first time a Chinese dialect had come through the trumpets in Valiantine’s direct-voice mediumship. As Bradley, a British businessman and playwright, told in Wisdom of the Gods, on February 25, 1925, Madame Wellington Koo, the first lady of China, was one of seven sitters with Valiantine. He identified her as “Countess Oeitiongham” (sic) apparently her name before her marriage to the president of China and her prior marriage to a British consular agent. Her father, Oei Tiong Ham, was a Chinese-Indonesian business tycoon, and she had become an international socialite, a very interesting one for many years according to my internet search. “When we had sat at least one hour, one of the trumpets was lifted close to the face [of the countess], and a ‘voice’ addressed her in a foreign language,” Bradley wrote, adding that the voice was initially very indistinct and the trumpet fell to the floor. Although the countess recognized the initial voice as a Chinese dialect, it took three more tries before it was loud enough for her to fully understand and carry on a conversation with the “voice.” The countess later explained to Bradley that the “voice” spoke to her with two dialects mixed, in a way in which no European – even if he were able to speak Chinese – could do. As the countess further explained, one of the dialects was that which her father, who had died the prior year, spoke to her when she was a child, while the other dialect was one he used after she had grown up. The message was said to be one for the countess’s mother and too personal for her to reveal to Bradley. Two of the guests on March 10, 1925 were Countess Ingegard Ahlefeldt-Laurvig, daughter of the Danish minster to England, and Gonnoske Komai, a famous Japanese poet and artist. Bradley states that Valiantine had never met them before and was not given their names. According to Bradley, a voice said to be the countess’s deceased brother came through in Russian, but she replied in Danish. However, the brother requested that she speak in Russian, and they continued to converse in that language. Another voice came through in Japanese and spoke with Komai, who later told Bradley that the identification of the communicator was uncertain, but he gave certain names and places that were meaningful to Komai and also said that he died by committing hari-kari. Based on that information, Komai had some idea as to who it was. On March 18, Komai returned for another sitting. After a failed attempt at rising, the “spirits” were able to materialize the voice of Komai’s elder brother, who carried on a conversation with him in Japanese. Komai was told that his mother was also there, but she was unable to communicate. Apparently, the conversation with the brother had mostly to do with his children. Dr. Barnett, one of Valiantine’s guides, broke in and said Japan was preparing for a great war in the air. Komai replied that American is a far greater country than Japan, but Barnett then said that such was true but Japan’s preparation was far greater and more advanced than that of America. Countess Ahlefeldt-Laurvig returned on April 18 for an individual sitting with Valiantine. “The Countess and Valiantine sat in my study in the daylight, and almost immediately the voice of Oscar (brother of the Countess) came through and spoke to her. The first part of the conversation was carried on in Russian, and then the Countess suggested that it should be continued in French,” Bradley wrote, adding that they spoke for about a quarter of an hour. The countess referred to it as a “marvellous” sitting. On April 8, 1925, with the very skeptical researcher Harry Price present, Bradley reported that the gramophone which was used to play music and establish harmonious conditions would not work and therefore Miss Lilian Walbrook, one of the sitters, was asked to sing. She sang a number of songs, including “Il Bacio.” Price was taking notes and recorded that at the conclusion of the song, one of the two trumpets rose into the air, approached Miss Walbrook and thanked her in Italian. The “voice” identified himself as Luidi Arditi, an Italian composer who had died in 1903. There was a further exchange of words in Italian between Arditi and Walbrook. In Bradley’s 1924 book, Toward the Stars, he provided a detailed report on his first sittings with Valiantine at the New Jersey country home of Joseph De Wyckoff, an American lawyer. As a guest of De Wyckoff, Bradley was invited to attend a séance with Valiantine. While very skeptical, he saw it as a means of entertainment and accepted the invitation. Nothing happened for the first 20 minutes and Bradley considered it a very dull show. However, he soon heard a soft and gentle woman’s voice call his name, addressing him as Herbert, his given name, rather than Dennis, the name most people knew him by. It was his deceased sister, Annie. They talked for 15 minutes about family matters and there was no doubt in Bradley’s mind that he was talking with his sister. On the following night, they again sat for a séance. De Wyckoff’s cook and butler were invited to join the small group. After Dr. Barnett spoke to the group in a loud Scottish accent, Bradley’s sister again spoke. “Her tones were clear and bell-like, her notes were sympathetic and understanding, and were radiant,” Bradley recorded. “How can I describe the indescribable?” Bradley pointed out that his sister mentioned things that nobody else knew about or could have known about. After his sister left, the trumpet floated in front of De Wyckoff’s cook. “Anita! Anita!” the ‘voice’ said. “Si! Si!” Anita Ripoll excitedly responded. “It is Jose! Jose!” the “voice” said. It was the cook’s deceased husband. They carried on a conversation in Spanish which Bradley could not understand. “I could not follow it, but nobody could fail to understand the feeling. Words tumbled over one another. Sentences joined and overlapped in Latin excitement Neither husband nor wife, apparently, marvelled at their supernatural meeting. These two souls, who had loved each other and probably had never questioned the certainty of an after-life, accepted it as entirely normal.” As De Wyckoff understood the language, he told Bradley that Jose drifted into a dialect that was a mixture of Basque and corrupt Spanish, the dialect of their native home in southern Spain. When Jose was alive in the flesh, he spoke no English and communicated with De Wyckoff in proper Spanish. Bradley called it the “most staggering event of my life,” causing him to change his whole philosophy of life. “Doubt took flight when faced by an unchallengeable fact and the mind understood in a flash that what had hitherto appeared to be impossible was possible.” Back in England, Bradley attended a séance at the British College of Psychic Science on February 19, 1924, with Valiantine being the medium. Among other things, he observed a voice address itself to an Australian lady, saying that it was her grandmother. The conversation opened in English and “drifted into German.” Later, the Australian lady’s mother came and also conversed with her in German. The following week, Bradley sat in again and this time heard a conversation between a deceased father and his son in a strange Welsh tongue. Valiantine was described by Whymant as “a typical example of the simpler kind of country American citizen” and claimed to know none of the languages spoken. Can anyone believe that he secretly learned all those languages, even different dialects and was able to carry on conversations about family matters with different sitters, at the same time being seen speaking in English to someone next to him? In the Confucius case, he would have had to anticipate that Whymant was going to quiz the “voice” about two poems of Confucius and then memorize 15 verses of one of the poems in a Chinese dialect, as well as explain a misinterpretation of another poem – a misinterpretation that had escaped scholars for centuries. And he would have had to be able to speak with an ancient dialect of Chinese to begin with, before switching to a more modern dialect, one Whymant could better understand. Is it possible that Bradley, Professor Whymant, Judge Cannon, renowned physicist Sir Oliver Lodge, popular journalist Hannen Swaffer, and dozens of other famous people mentioned in Bradley’s books just imagined it all or were hypnotized? Or that they all conspired in a giant hoax? Is there some subconscious factor involved, or a “computer in the cosmos,” that science does not yet understand, one that records voices on earth and somehow feeds them back in a dialogue form at the proper time? Although the original copy of Wisdom of the Gods was written before the fraud charges against Valiantine, none of which involved the voices, the reproduction by White Crow Books has additions that explore those charges. In the end, however, it all leads one to believe that absolute proof is beyond our reach and probably not in our best interest. We need some doubt if we are to effectively carry out the divine plan.

"To be sure, attitudes often influence the physical conditions of the body."  ECRL 4021-1

THE PHYSICAL MEDIUMSHIP OF EINER NIELSEN ( 1894-1965) Einer Nielson who in 1922 had the wolves from the people of Christian church in Christiania, Oslo at his heels baying for his blood trying to denounce him as being a fraud. Einer Nielson was so incensed by the accusations. In 1924 he put himself through all sorts of rigorous tests in Reykjavik and sat many times in front of the researchers from the Physical Research Society of Iceland, who had many trusted, eminent, high ranking people of that society and many scientists belonging to that society. The documented happenings were recorded by the writer Einar H Kvaran, there were many plainly seen levitations and telekinetic phenomena also materialisation which amazed the audiences as sometimes there appeared two at a time near Einer, and this was a when he was in full view of the sitters. Baron Schrenck Notzing also brought the Medium to the attention of the general public. In 1932 the unfortunate Einer who lived in Copenhagen at the time was again accused of fraud by the Johs leader of his Circle, a well off Johs Carstensen published a damming pamphlet [probably jealousy]. Einer Nielsen took Johs Carstensen to court for slandering his name but unfortunately lost his case in the same year. He continued to sit for the Spirit World but never again for the public only sitting with trusted friends. Einer Nielsen was born In Copenhagen, Denmark In 1894. Trained as a physiotherapist and followed the profession throughout his life. He past to the higher life in 1965. His first physical mediumship seance took place when he was just a young man of 17. He sat in test conditions for psychical mediumship many times and in many places in Europe. He worked in the light as well as in the dark. Einer's guide was called Mica. She controlled Einer during his seances and in most of his Circles where he demonstrated full materialisation, independent voice and trance work. Einer travelled all over the Nordic country's delivering his message and took part in many demonstrations of Psychical mediumship. In the winter of 1915, Einer was put into prison after a demonstration of physical mediumship, He was incarcerated for a short time. Einer's criminal activities were of his demonstrations of physical mediumship and serving the Spirit World. One gentleman who was at his seance was very angry, and after the materialisation, he called the police. His anger was a result of him being given a piece of material as an apport. Einer was suddenly brought back from his trance state when the man became angry and demanded Einer to get down on his knees, asking God to forgive him for demonstrating the intelligent forces from the etheric world. The man was very religious Christian person and he blamed Einer for bringing Spirit through. He got Einer arrested for producing a materialization of a false Spirit. Einer had to spend a little time in a prison cell, but was later released. There was NO conviction, and NO evidence that he had done anything wrong. The obsessively religious Christian man felt he had to do Gods work and accuse Einer Nielsen for being non Christian. Einer sat successfully sat many times for physical research scientists, in many countries, all sittings to our knowledge were successful and he was given the green light that his mediumship was authentic. Einer then gave him self completely to development his psychical mediumship. He Started a Danish Spiritualist Church in Copenhagen in 1930 and today this is going strong. In 1965 he became an honoured guest at the International Spiritualist Federation in London. They gave him an honour in recognition of the work he hade done for Spirit and people around the world. Einer spend a great deal of time travelling in the Nordic countries giving demonstrations. Many photographs were taken of him with ectoplasm being shown, and he developed Spirit materialisations in low light. He was never afraid to demonstrate or to be tested. Einer's love for music and ballet brought him frequently to the Royal Copenhagen Theatre, were he spent a lot of time listening to the music, and watching the Ballet. Einer loved Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake performed by the Royal Danish Ballet. One wonderful evening at the Royal Copenhagen Theatre, Einer was happy, sitting in the balcony watching the show, during the second act, Einer passed in to his higher life. He had been told by Mica, his Guide, that one day, when he was happy and his time was over, he would cross over into the Spirit World very quickly. My thanks to Karen Richards for the information on Einer.

At worst this video is an entertaining and relaxing movie to calm your nerves via a voyage taken from UBI-Soft's open world video game "Assassin's Creed - Odyssey" and it demonstrates just how far Video Games have come. Via this game you enter a whole world of ancient Greece which you can explore at your leisure, and of course take videos and photos as I did. At best you may be able to utilize it as a tool to induce Lucid Dreams, but, as the title suggests, this is just an experiment, not a guaranty. I would nevertheless like to hear any of your responses. So this video is an experiment based on the "Wake Back To Bed" Lucid Dreaming Technique and is intended to induce a lucid dream. The Idea is to watch the video early in the morning, after a good night's sleep. Then, after falling asleep, hopefully the dreams will be infused with imagery from the video, including the subtle verbal prompts which appear throughout. Whenever a prompt appears in your dream, such as "Are You Dreaming?" it is hoped that this will trigger lucidity. You may drop off to sleep towards the end. That is OK. Keep listening to the sound and you may pick up the scene again in your dream. Hopefully the prompts still playing will still be heard and trigger lucidity in your dream. When this happens, make sure you focus on your hands until full lucidity kicks in. Then take over and control your dream in your own virtual reality. Jurgen's books provide many graphic and vividly told first-hand accounts of his journeys into the Afterlife Worlds. They go into much greater depth and detail than it is possible in these short videos: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/jurgenz Please visit the website for more information: http://www.multidimensionalman.com

Cabrerizo, Sheila Lowe, who coordinates our Zammit Zoom groups on Forensic, Automatic writing and mediumship, has written several books similar to what yours sounds to be like. Our Zoom groups are free, and Christine or I update the weekly calendar with the details. I am sure, but I would need to check that it is on the second Thursday of the month. I am sure if she was approached she would assist you. There are quite a few resources to help. I would think she would be happy to share with you. Here are some of the topics https://www.amazon.com.au/s?k=sheila+lowe+books&crid=INO3PL259ND7&sprefix=Sheila+Lowe%2Caps%2C272&ref=nb_sb_ss_pltr-ranker-20mins_3_11 As Kevin says, a fantastic body of work by Marc Macey is readily available. I have been slowly bringing his work with his permission over to varanormal, and if you look for his section in the Forum, you will find much to assist you. I was blessed to be in a seance when Konstantin Raudive came through. Another source is the Leslie Flint Educational Trust. Leslie was a direct voice medium. I know he has had some of those questions come through in response to sitters' questions. We also have some of his works on the Forum under the Leslie Flint section. I entirely agree with you. Although it is a work of fiction, if we want to advance knowledge, it should be validated knowledge - not only for our reputation but also as a respectable "tool of learning". Finally, Riley Hegearty (there is a zoom talk on here) has deeply researched this area and has written some excellent books on mediums, particularly physical mediumship. I realise that all of the above relates to physical mediumship, which will give you a base to understand communication outputs through ITC. Anabella Cardoso also has books on ITC - run a search here, and you will find her. Also, Randall Keller has written a book called "Voices from Forever ", which is about his journey through the paranormal by way of EVP. You may also gain some answers by listening to the Big Circle, which this link can access. This group do EVPs. http://welcometoeternity.com/2022/10/19/thursday-october-20th-big-circle-recording-session-reminder/ Finally, there is a film called Calling Earth by Dan Drasin, accessible from here. https://www.varanormal.com/forums/topic/558-calling-earth-dan-drasin-documentary-communicating-via-evp-with-deceased/#comment-1885

Great news Andres, yes it is very easy to become overwhelmed, and you have such a supportive, caring, sharing nature. I hope that this arrangement may take some of the burden away from you, so that you may also continue to your own work of developing communication "into the next room." Thank you also to our VA member in Canada who has stepped up to help out. Please know that we appreciate that you are supporting Andres and wish to thank you very much for your commitment.
