From Our Viewpoint

Time for another newsletter. Where should I start? The last three months have passed quickly and it has been a time of sharing, of giving, of asking for patience, understanding, and wisdom. What I have received during this period has far outweighed my own small gifts. Normally, I feel the most miserly about time because I have so little of it and I want so much to answer all requests, the needs, expressed and unexpressed of those who contact me. Understanding doesn’t usually give me a problem. From earliest days I have understood--too well at times--the dynamics behind a particular situation. It is patience I am working on and wisdom, which must at least be considered as a gift of the gods. All too often it remains slightly out of reach.

Peeking into my mailbag, I come up with letters that leave me nonplused occasionally. A month ago, a letter came from Anonymous in Pittsburgh. In his five page xerox typed letter, Anonymous wrote that we should all be “born again” and the surest path to God was to become like an innocent, pure baby. Although I don’t entirely agree with this premise, the thing that gave me the greatest difficulty was that I had to suck my thumb or, better yet, a pacifier. As Anonymous wrote: “...you should purchase an infant’s pacifier for yourself. It’s much better to use one of them than it is to suck one of your thumbs. You probably have teeth. And if you’ve been sucking your thumb right along, you’ve noticed your teeth bite into your thumb when you suck it...” I was to suck on the pacifier while I was watching television, taking a shower, and so on.

Not for a moment am I making fun of the conclusions of Anonymous. Every thought expressed in the five pages was serious and it was clear Anonymous felt he was called upon to lead people back to finding God. He deserves, as everyone deserves, credit for standing up for their beliefs. I’ve done a good deal of ‘standing’ all my life so I know from where Anonymous is coming. I thank him, whoever he might be, for his concern about me. It’s just that I don’t think the best way to find God is through sucking a pacifier.

On the opposite end of the spectrum a letter came that was not unsigned. It was from ‘Joseph’ who requested I remove his name from the mailing list. In defense of Joseph, he had never joined the Association but his membership had been a gift from a colleague. In his note to me, after I had notified him of his gift membership, he wrote: “I am a scientist but keep an open mind.” (Six months and two newsletters later, he decided he’d had enough). I wrote to ‘John,’ the man who had given the membership, “It seems as if he’s not quite as open as he likes to think. Individuals like this are more to be pitied than scorned.”

I wonder if Joseph ever read the comment from E . F. Schumer: “The modern world still tends to be skeptical about everything that makes demands on mean’s higher faculties.  But it is not at all skeptical about skepticism which demands hardly anything.”

Fortunately, not all scientists are like Joseph. The AA-EVP has a good representation of scientists and more have joined since reading Voices of Eternity The fact that Voices is to be found in the ‘New Age’ section of most bookstores, and that a scientist might visit such a section and buy a book of this nature, may surprise some. Their ranks are still slim, but they are growing.

It seems apropos to close my Viewpoint remarks with: “To live rightly in this world we must first become aware of it.  The problem is man’s false assumption that he is already aware, which leaves him no motive for investigation.” From Pathways to Perfect Living, by Vernon Howard.

Harry Borgfund-LIBERANT

Word has come that Harry Borglund, MA AA-EVP member since 1984, died in September. Although I never met Harry, I felt we were old friends. Each August he would promptly renew membership for the coming year, as he did this past August. As I wrote to Vanda, his widow, when she sent me word of Harry’s death, “...lt came as quite a shock, this sort of thing always does, but then I thought of Harry and of his faith that life does not end! I am confident that he now knows that belief was well placed and that he will continue in a busy, happy life just a step away...”

We wish you joy Harry in your return home.

Ethics and Psi

This is a subject about which much has been written. That I am concerned about the matter is clear when I wrote on page 1 of Voices “As a psychical investigator, I have encountered some fraud and a great deal of self—delusion.” There’s not enough room here to say all I want to say, and yet I think we must bring it up front for the few people who need to be reminded that what they do and say, even if their intentions are good, can seriously affect the lives of others.

Many mediums are very charming people. They seem to emit a glow, a charisma, that a number of individuals find irresistible. In many cases, these people later discover that the person they idolized is seriously flawed.

To bring the situation nearer home, since August, in the close to 100 letters that have come to the P.O. Box address given at the end of Voices about a fourth have asked me to try to contact a loved one for them through my tape recorder. Some have offered money, a few a great deal. I deserve no credit for turning these offers down; to do otherwise would be despicable. In the first place, it is impossible to do what they request honestly. In the second place, if I could I would, without charge, and it would give me almost as much joy as the loved one concerned. As I always write back, “...there is no emotional tie, no bonding between your loved one and me to bring him back to speak through my tape recorder. You are the one most likely to succeed in this.” I then give suggestions and urge them to re-read Chapter 17 in Voices which is about taping methods.

Our AA-EVP is an open Association. We have a cross-country list which, I believe, no other organization has. Several people who have worked briefly with me call the list a nightmare in its logistics, and it is. In spite of this, I don’t want to abolish it, for many who are on the list find great pleasure in contacting others near and far. Warm, permanent friendships have evolved. Clearly, I can’t police the almost 150 names on it. I would remind you, though, to exert caution when you write to any unknown person and to always keep your own good judgment if a reply comes. For those of you who may hear from a new pen pal, reply in an honest straight-forward way. Don’t play at being a medium, even if you are trying to lessen the grief of someone. To say you are in contact with a loved one when you’re not is a cruel hoax. Even if you think you are, unless you have had a long, successful history of mediumship, you are ninety-nine chances out of a hundred deluded.

Everyone in the end has to face what he has done with his life and what he has done to others.
 

Up-Date on the Storage of Jürgenson’s Tapes

In our Summer newsletter, I mentioned that Rosalba Harris, PA AA-EVP member, had written that a group in Italy would be storing Friedrich Jürgenson ‘s voice communication tapes. Rosalba has kindly sent additional information about this:

“In the July 1988 issue of “Journal of Mysteries” published in Florence, Italy it was announced that Maria Annel, a close friend of Jürgenson's for many years, expressed the wish made by Jurgenson before death, that all his tapes be kept in Italy, a country he loved.

“His wish was immediately accepted by the President of A.I.S.P. (Association ltaliana Studi Psicofonici). A small museum of the voices will be built in his honor and memory. This museum may be located in the castle of Caldarola, in Fermo, where Count Lorenzo Spinucci held the first Italian conference of paranormal voices...”
 

We are Listed

For several years, the AA-EVP has been listed in the Encyclopedia of Associations found in all libraries and published by Gale Research. Many letters from private individuals as well as the media have come as a result.

Now, I have been informed by R.R. Bowker Company, a division of Reed Publishing, that our newsletter will be listed in the Bowker International Series Database which is used to produce Ulrich ‘s International Periodicals Directory found in libraries’ reference section

Look us up when you visit your library!
 

Washington State Coordinator

After Dennis Taylor of lssaquah, WA read

Voices of Eternity he wrote to say how much he had enjoyed it. He asked for information about the AA-EVP and said if WA did not have a State Coordinator, he would be interested in such a role.

I sent the information and within a few days, Dennis joined. He also became at that time State Coordinator.

Dennis is a Psychical Investigator. He teaches a class called: “Life After Death:

The Emerging Communication System.” In addition, he manages a Spiritual/Metaphysical Book Store.

We are pleased to have Dennis as a member of AA-EVP and appreciate his willingness to help the Association and other members in WA as Stat Coordinator.

Voices on a Bomber

Clara Laughlin, VA State Coordinator sent me an interesting article about taped voices from a RAF bomber located in a museum hanger at Shropshire, England.

The recording reveals muffled voices of the crew, engines droning, Morse code messages, and so on. Experienced pilots who heard the tape, which was made under strict scientific conditions, have said that the sounds are like those of a Lincoln bomber in flight.

The tape recorder was left running in the empty cockpit and the bomber was locked within the hanger. Later, when the tape was played back, it sounded as if the plane was in flight although it hadn’t flown in 30 years.

There have been other unusual phenomena associated with the bomber which has been in the museum for eleven years. When other nearby aircraft are covered with dust, the black bomber often appears to have been polished. Several people have also reported seeing a ghostly airman, dressed in a uniform, inside the hanger.

Experiment Idea

Many psychical investigators feel that voices on tape, spirit photographs, and apparitions are due to psychic imprints left by previous individuals associated with a location, or a specific object such as the bomber, just mentioned. This is often found where there was a strong emotional feeling attached to that particular place.

In my investigations of haunted locations, such as Point Lookout State Park in Southern Maryland, the Westminster church in Baltimore, the Woodrow Wilson House in Washington, and others, messages came through in each place. While some of them might have been psychic imprints, my feeling about most of the voices was that they did not realize they had died.

A number of people live near one or more historical locations. I would like to suggest you take your portable tape recorder to one or more sites and make one or two short recordings. Play t back after returning home, listening to it carefully while wearing headphones if you have them.

Let me know what you tape, giving full details such as location, why it is well-known, time of taping, if you were alone, and so on. I would like to report your findings in a future newsletter.

A Letter From England

A letter has come from Raymond Cass, well-known English taper. Raymond wrote, “Regarding the bit about Maggie (Harsch Fischbach) cruising over the FM band until a transmission blots out the normal broadcast...l experienced this in rudimentary form some years ago. I found a German station on Medium Wave, and nearly every night the transmission would be blotted out for about 10 seconds and a voice or voices inserted. It does now seem that many of my early contacts were in the nature of pilot experiments from the “other side” and that a bad negative period was simply a time when the “transmissions” were inoperative. ...l think there is an even chance that groups in the Beyond are perfecting their technology and we shall have better contacts which will depend more on the activity of the transmitting source than the status of the experimenter.”

Membership Renewals

Starting now, members will receive one notice when their membership is due. It will be sent 4-5 weeks before the end of their due date. In the past, I have sent a second notice to those who had not renewed by the tenth of the month. As a result of increased postage and printing costs, and less time on my part, this will stop. If you want to remain a member of AA-EVP, renew promptly. A second notice shouldn’t be needed. Many thanks to all who renew early, saving me time and money.

Simultaneous Video/Audio Transmission

The above picture was kindly sent to me by Dr. Ernst Senkowski, West German AA-EVP

member. The translation of the message from German to English was done by our good friend Hans Heckmann, PA AA-EVP member. For the first time, a video picture from the next dimension was sent through the TV of Jules and Maggie Harsch-Fischbach of Luxembourg, accompanied by a spoken message. It shows Konstantin Raudive as a young man. Present during the transmission were Jules and Maggie, and Dr. Ralph Determeyer.

“Good evening, dear friends, this is Konstantin Raudive speaking. Dear Maggie, dear Jules, dear colleague Determeyer, I am happy to see that you have found your way here to us again. What you are witnessing at this moment is a historical occasion on your side as well as our side. This is the first time that Video and Audio are simultaneously being transmitted and received. (Pause 12 seconds).

“For the benefit of those who still doubt and those who are of good will but were afraid that I did not belong to group TIMESTREAM anymore, I decided to transmit a picture of myself showing my present appearance on this side at the banks of the River of Eternity. (Pause 6 seconds).

“Dear Colleague Determeyer, happenings such as you are witnessing come about not only through our efforts on this side but also through the willingness and efforts of people on your side. (Pause 7 seconds).

“You have worked yourself in an exemplary manner for the unification...for the purpose of founding a World Organization.”

End of Transmission

Hans gave the following evaluation of the transmission: “...Each segment begins and ends with a clearly audible switching impulse. Reception with a partially defective B/W TV set and no antenna connection. A short distortion in the last segment announced the end. Characteristic decrease of speaking time and proportional reduction of spoken syllables, point to increasing difficulty to maintain contact.”

Since that first video/audio reception on July 1, 1988, the Harsch-Fischbachs have received additional pictures on their B/W TV accompanied by audible messages.

A Word to the Wise

The video reception from other dimensions that Luxembourg and some other European tapers are receiving is very exciting. You should know that in every case those now having such results only did so after years of successful taping through their tape recorder.

Discovery Intercepts

Dan Mckee, IL State Coordinator, called about messages he taped during the first few minutes of the Discovery space shuttle flight on September 29. Dan, a Ham radio buff, had his short wave tuned to the frequency used by the Greenbelt, MD Ham radio club. The club, located near Goddard Space Center, picked up all the conversation going on between Goddard and Houston which were linked together by a direct phone line. At the end, Dan turned his reel to reel tape over to the reverse side and discovered he had many intercepts from unseen entities. We discussed these intercepts and feel that several individuals were discussing the current flight as well as the Challenger flight that ended in disaster after launching. Since our talk, Dan has sent me a copy of his tape and it is excellent. Some of the messages are:

“The earth have her frequency.”

“Look!We used to meter that.”

“You’ve seen at this thing before.”

“Yours I know through thy braveness.”

“Air Force, you assess of.”

“We got confused in the firing.”

“Wasn’t that heat in the short?”

“Stand by to evacuate.”

“Ours will become noticed there--poised there--we got trouble.”

“

“They open to him which actually killed us.”

“Correct. There’s no flight to start beyond this.”

“So we have almost two days to hear you.”

“Hello, they’re to make it.”

‘How we different.
 

CETL Newsletter Review

We are grateful to Hans Heckmann who translated issue 02/88. This excellent newsletter is written in German by Jules and Maggie H arsch-Fischbach, leading European transcommunication experimenters and members of the AA-EVP. In her editorial, Maggie wrote: “We used to share the opinion of many that once we had a breakthrough to clear two-way communication, our goal had been reached. In time, we realized that we are only at the beginning. A new phase in T.C. begins when the door into other dimensions is opened. Not. everyone is suited for T.C. The field of T.C. is much more complicated than most people want to admit! Contacts in the spiritual world indicate‘net’ of positive energy which is slowly spreading over and among like-minded experimenters. Our scientists refer to it as “morphogenetic fields.” Required is the readiness for spiritual development within person. The God principle in our spiritual development should attract us more than the contacts with our loved ones. Prayers and thanksgiving seem to open doors. The less we demand the more we receive. Spiritual communication dealing with the existence of other worlds rarely make the headlines of our daily papers.”

The following is a brief summary about parallel worlds given by Technician, one of the Harsch-Fischbachs’ chief communicators:” Man through his thoughts, wishes, and actions, ‘triggers’ many possibilities which become reality in other worlds. These worlds, just like our world, are material in nature. All beings living in these worlds are people like us who do not pass into a spirit world until their bodily ‘death. Every person on this planet has doubles in other worlds. When you die on earth some of your other selves continue to live in parallel worlds while yet others have already died. Each of these worlds, when compared with each other, show small or large differences, historical or political changes which influence the lives of the entities living there. Our other selves live in these worlds according to the local conditions. Each entity grows and develops in his world. They influence their material universe around them by what they do and do not do. The question: “In what world is the original me?” can only be answered: “There is no original me.” A meeting with our other self in one of the material parallel worlds or on our earth would be disastrous, comparable to a small nuclear explosion and could cause a chain reaction. Every parallel world has different energy pattern and obeys different physical laws.”

Maggie also wrote that their question about the existence of spiritual parallel worlds was• answered in the affirmative and that many discarnate of the third spirit level, where most go at death, are not informed sufficiently and know nothing about parallel worlds.
 

News from Members

Carol Barron, MA State Coordinator, wrote that she has been concentrating on Reverse messages. She has discovered that the unseen use her voice at time to help them speak. Carol and a friend taped at Mystery Hill in N.H. recently. The location is known as American’s Stonehenge and is at least 4,000 years old. Although many messages were taped, Carol felt they were entities who had not been dead for a long time. A few whispers were on the forward side of her tapes but the “reverse side yielded a whole tape’s worth of voices!”

Florence Estwick, France, has written and called several times. Recently, she wrote that she is continuing to have contact through her tape recorder with her husband and others. She said, “...so you see, Sarah, transcommunication is a very alive phenomena for me.”

Monty Hearon, OR State Coordinator, sent me an article first published in the “Christian Science Monitor.” It focused on quantum mechanics. The term has been used for more than 60 years but the public is largely unaware of it. It is one of the most accurate sciences ever developed, making possible everything from transistors to televisions, calculators to computers, fiber optics to fission reactors. The concept is difficult to grasp and physicists use it to talk about such things as particles with no size, 10-dimensional space, a multitude of parallel universes, and a world where probability replaces certainty.

Clara Laughlin wrote that she has held two group meetings lately of members in the Arlington-Alexandria, VA area. Six members attended, two of them new. They discussed electronic communication, and made several recordings. Messages were received, the loudest and clearest on the reverse side of the tape in which one of the members present was called an “angel.” (Perhaps Clara’s efforts and results will encourage other members to form groups).

Warren York is a new member from Texas. He is starting recordings on a regular basis and sent me a copy of the first word he taped which was “Help.” The word was clear and of good quality. Later on, he will set up a computer line for interested members.

The above picture was taken recently at an area Waldenbooks store. The response to Voices has been most gratifying since it reached the bookstores the first week in August. As a result of Voices we have taken in more members the last two months than ever before.

It is impossible to give all of the heart warming comments received after someone has finished reading the book. As a sample: “By far, it’s the finest book about EVP and survival I’ve ever read. I sincerely hope you plan a sequel.” (Richard Busse, IN). “Your book was very honest, beautiful and sincere, as well as awe-inspiring.” (Tina Laurent, Wales). “I have just finished your book. I can’t begin to tell you how astounded and excited I am knowing others believe life exists after death.” (Tammy Matthews-new member, IN). “I congratulate you for this really fine piece of work.” (Ernst Senkowski, West Germany). “I think the thing we (Harold and I) have always honored you most is your dedication to honesty in your research.” (Martha Sherman-AR).

Many individuals have contacted me and said they are having difficulty finding the book. Crown, Dalton, and Waldenbooks are carrying it as well as other national chains. If your local bookstore doesn’t have it, request they order a copy. They are always happy to do this.

In September, I talked to my agent who contacted Fawcett, publishers of Voices They have given me permission to sell it to overseas members as well as U.S. members who have been unable to locate it. If you want a copy, please let me know indicating if you would like it autographed. Cost, which includes postage and handling is: $5 U.S.; $5.50 Canada; $7 overseas.

Nobel Laureate

After lngeborg Frank, N.Y. and West Germany AA-EVP member, read Voices of Eternity she wrote to say how impressed she was. lngeborg ‘s great-grandfather was Justus von Liebig, who is considered the father of organic chemistry, and also discovered photo- synthesis, and many other things. As a result, she has been in contact for the last fifteen years, by letter and phone, with a man who was awarded a Nobel prize for his scientific endeavors. This man was a great admirer of lngeborg’s great-grandfather and has expressed to lngeborg his belief that life ends at death.

Ingeborg hopes to visit the individual and tell him about the discoveries made in the field of electronic communication and at that time, give him a copy of Voices

Communications with Deceased Loved Ones

Valerie Tjaden, N.J. AA-EVP member, wrote that she has had a reasonable response to the above named booklet. As mentioned in the Summer NEWS, the reports were compiled by Valerie and were largely contributed by our members and focused on contacts they felt they had with the deceased, as well as unexplainable psychic experiences. Whether you contributed to the booklet or not, I think you would find it interesting and reassuring. Valerie has some extra copies available. You can contact her at: [address withheld] -$8; Canada-$8.49; overseas-$12.27. U.S. Funds.

Come With US

On March 5, Winnie Peters, MD AA-EVP member and I, expect to leave for a two week trip to Egypt. This is sponsored by North Mt. Artisans who have led many other successful trips to Egypt. They offer an outstanding itinerary for a metaphysical journey and are calling it a “healing odyssey.” Alberto Aguas, world renown healer, will accompany the group and lead us in healing meditations in the Great Pyramid and other temples we’ll visit.

The cost of the trip is only $1859, which is the most reasonable to my knowledge. It includes a four day Nile cruise. There is a week’s extension to Kenya for a safari experience for those interested. I will be helping the members of the group in Egypt who want to try to tape voices.

This will be my third trip to Egypt, a country I love. If you have been thinking about going to Egypt, now is your opportunity.

Odds And Ends

Deadline for the Winter NEWS is January 7. Let me hear from you
Always my best wishes, Sarah Estep
