From Our Viewpoint

There is an old Buddhist prayer that I like: “I will become enlightened for the sake of all living things.”

There is only one problem with this prayer—what is enlightenment? Webster’s Dictionary defines it as: “to instruct; to give information to; to make clear; to free from superstition.” Ah, yes, this sounds good, but enlightenment is a personal matter which has been an important part of my own enlightenment. This is something that has been constantly reinforced to me the last fourteen years. Truth (enlightenment) that so many like to think is unimpeachable is, in fact, a philosophical concept, a mental picture of what we think is, or should be.

There are some societies that think it is good to eat their captives. We shudder at the notion and are unanimous, I believe, in loathing the idea. Try to convince these groups though, that their way is wrong and they are unenlightened to continue such practices.

This, admittedly, is an extreme example. Let us bring it closer to home and consider something that many of us have experienced--the fundamentalist. These individuals think that what we do—talking to the unseen through our tape recorders, or even having an interest in the phenomena, or any psychic phenomena--is wrong. Over the years I have had a number of contacts with such people and they have never been pleasant.

A dentist from Atlanta called one evening on a ‘mission’ to save me. I had never heard of him, and how he’d heard of me is unknown, but that is unimportant. He told me his wife was out for the evening, so perhaps that is why he felt free to rant for half an hour, quoting passages from the Bible, to prove I was headed for fire and brimstone. The entire time he talked, I could hear a baby screaming in the background. “Charity” I couldn’t help but think, “should begin at home.” He was so busy ‘saving’ me that he couldn’t comfort his own child who was in distress.

Truth is often subjective. In eight years only two members have asked to have their names removed from the mailing list before their membership expired. One, a man in California, wrote I was “too religious, so don’t send me any more newsletters.” The other, a woman, asked to have her membership discontinued because “you’re not religious enough.” Interestingly, this woman used the I Ching system of divination which is not based on religion. In any case, the system told her she was having “dealings with an evil person,” so she decided I was it! Was I upset at their withdrawals? Not really. How could I decide what direction was right for either of them? I couldn’t, and accepted their decision to leave us as the right one, the enlightened one, for them at that point in their lives.

Must we stumble around then in a morass of confusion searching for truth? Must we look under every rock trying to learn what truth is, only to discover that very little light (or beauty) exists in such places? Are we, in the end, little better than children crying for the light in enlightenment that never comes our way?

I think not. If we are searchers, then we soon learn that the search is an intensely personal one. A familiarity with the great philosophies of many religions and cultures needs to be thoughtfully considered. Much we will discard but here and there we will find grains of gold that will shine brightly and help light our way throughout all the years to come. We learn that we cannot, should not, judge others by our own belief system. Everyone must have the freedom to choose his own truth. We need to find the time to sit quietly, to search within ourselves, to listen to the voice of our inner being guide us to what is right for us. Enlightenment should be a personal odyssey that never ends.

Jeannette Meek-Liberant

In the Spring issue of Unlimited Horizons, George Meek, President of the Metascience Foundation, wrote about the transition of his wife Jeannette, April 25, after a long illness.

Jeannette worked tirelessly beside George, actively participating in and supporting his business interests for the last 40 years. She was a real part in the life of the Foundation from the beginning of its conception eight years ago, encouraging George every step of the way in his efforts.

Upon two occasions, Jeannette and George were guests in our home and I came to know her as a warm, loving and understanding person. She had no doubt that life continued after death, and eventually she would move on to live in one of her Father’s Many Mansions.

Those of us who knew and loved Jeannette are convinced her new Mansion is a beautiful one filled with light, love, and laughter.

Evidence for Survival

In the last two issues of the Newsletter, AA-EVP members have shared with us heart warming stories of how loved ones have contacted them after death. Many of you have written about how much you enjoy this feature and I hope we can continue it in future NEWS as other members share their experiences.

Edelgard John of West Germany has been a member of our Association since 1983. Over the years, we have exchanged many letters. In a recent letter she wrote about her husband Walter, who made his transition a number of years ago. Quoting from Edelgard’s letter she wrote: “I did see my dear husband several times, but only in the first year. (One time) I went home from the graveyard when a young man about twenty years old, came and took the same step and smiled at me. I found this strange because I did not know him. He tried to take my arm like my husband did and I said, ‘Go away, you are not my husband!’ The young man did not go away, he just vanished.

“Some weeks later a cousin of my husband wrote to me: ‘I found a picture of your Walter, as he looked when he was nineteen. As you married late, I think you do not have it, so I am sending it to you!’ I looked at the picture and it showed the young man who took my arm!”

“Peak in Dairen”

Tina Laurent, Wales wrote: “Concerning your series on survival evidence, the Peak in Dairen cases are the most convincing from an objective point of view.”

To me, also, these are extremely convincing. As I wrote about them on pages 17 & 18 in my book: Voices of Eternity “In this situation a dying individual describes seeing a deceased relative or friend whom he did not know had died. In some instances the people in the room with the dying person also did not know that the “take-away” entity had died. This must rule out the possibility of telepathic thought being picked up by the dying.”

Animal Survival

Do animals survive death? Many believe they do and that you will find animals of every kind living beside you in the world after death. There have been many reports of beloved pets, especially dogs and cats, returning to visit for a short time with those they loved. In my own work, I have asked if we will be reunited with pets we loved after our own transition, and have been reassured in a Class A voice on tape that this does happen.

Ann, a grieving young woman in her thirties, called me recently. She was experiencing extreme grief over the loss of her cat and wondered if she was going ‘crazy.’ Ann had nothing else in her life. She lived alone, was handicapped and rarely left her house. Her cat had died a week earlier, and several days later, Ann, while lying awake in bed, heard her cat purr. The cat then walked across her bed and Ann felt the covers go down. Then Kitty snuggled up beside Ann, as she did before her death, and gave her a kiss. This continued for three nights and Ann said she hugged Kitty, who felt just as solid after death as before.

Edelgard John also believes animals not only survive death but are reincarnated, at times coming back in new physical bodies to their previous owners who loved them so much. Rolf, a dog whom Edelgard had for seven years died, and Edelgard missed him to such an extent she felt she would never get another dog again. Two years later, Edelgard read about a man who was giving away some dogs so she went to see him. Two dogs appealed to her so much she came home with both. She called one of them Wanda, and according to Edelgard, she knew amazing thipgs: She knew Edelgard’s car, the streets she had walked with Rolf; the neighbors he had loved—and the ones he didn’t. Edelgard took both dogs to Fulda to attend the VTF conference about the electronic voice. Even though both dogs were shy, as soon as Edelgard entered the room where there were 200 people, Wanda immediately ran across the room where Branton de Geus sat, who had been a good friend of Rolf’s. She crawled up onto his lap and licked his face. Edelgard wrote that Branton also believed Wanda had once been Rolf.

A new member, Denise Riccardo of Berwyn, IL ‘wrote about the experience she had when she was five or six. She had a black cat and liked playing with him. She would pull a string on the floor while he would chase after it. The cat became very ill and her parents had it put to sleep, her mother telling her it had gone to “kitty heaven.” Denise wrote that she was not really sure what this was and she had never heard about ghosts.

One evening she was thinking about her pet and missing him. She saw an old string with the cat toy tied on one end in the corner. She picked it up and began to walk around dragging the string. Quoting from Denise’s letter, she wrote: “I knew that he was gone and my mother had said he would not be back, so I was merely pantomiming my playing with him. All at once, and to my surprise, he darted out from under the dining room table. He batted at the string, green eyes shining in the dark and then softly touched my bare instep. I can remember the velvety feel of his cat paw. It all happened very quick, and to my dismay he disappeared as quickly as he had appeared.”

Was it a Dream?

Jane, a woman in her fifties, called me one day in May. Her husband had died a month earlier after a long illness, and a friend suggested she contact me. As we talked, Jane said she wasn’t at all sure she wanted to continue living now that Joe was gone. I asked if she would like to come and see me so we could talk about this further. Jane came the next afternoon with her daughter Sue.

As Jane shared her grief and despair with me and we talked about life, death and transition she said, “If I could only be sure Joe was O.K., I’d be able to get on with my own life. We knew for a long time he was dying and he always promised he’d let me know after he died that he was all right.”

We talked about different ways loved ones let us know after death that they are still living and can be with us. I asked if she had experienced a ‘psychic theft’ (mentioned in the Spring News), or had she had any unusual, vivid dreams?

“Yes!” Jane said. “My husband came through several nights in my dreams and kept saying, ‘The pencil mug! The pencil mug!’ Jane explained her husband kept a large mug on his desk that always held three sharpened pencils. After having this dream, Jane looked in the mug and saw just two pencils. She knows she didn’t take a pencil from it, and since she was alone, no one else did either.

Before they left, we made a five minute recording. A male voice gave two messages:

“Yes, I’m going down,” and “I hear you.” Jane and Sue are convinced it was Joe.

From My Mailbag

Gilbert Bonner, England, wrote that a video tape of his work was made by students of London University. He has corresponded with Barbara Ivanova, a well known parapsychologist from Russia. She is interested in the taped voice but said there is no official view of EVP in the USSR. Normally the view has been negative to all para-events but it is hoped this will now change.

Jutta Liebmann, of West Germany, wrote that although she has moved to a new house, the voices quickly let her know they were aware of this. She feels it is necessary to caution new tapers who might try any means to get voices on tape, which could be a mistake. Jutta wrote, “Some new tapers think that all deceased have become ‘angels’ in the spirit world and this is really not true. They remain the same personalities as they had been on earth for some time over there.”

Help For You!

Bill Weisensale, CA AA-EVP member has sent me an excellent 30 page booklet titled:

“Transcommunication For The Voices (and others).” In it, Bill discusses many aspects of the phenomena and gives practical ideas how you may become a successful taper. In his letter he wrote: “This is primarily for new people who have not yet attempted to tape and for those who may have tried but gave up because they simply did not realize the difficulties involved. But it may also be of interest to others who are more experienced.” Although Bill will send it free on request, he will accept donations up to $2 to help defray the cost of printing and mailing.

Garage Sale Successful

Our garage sale of three used reel to reel Sony tape recorders, announced in the Spring News, was a sell out! All three, plus one other that came into our possession later, were sold to AA-EVP members who are now happily taping away. Perhaps later on we will have additional recorders.

Video Pictures

At the international Basel conference last November, I shared a workshop with Mme. Monique Simonet of Reims, France. My focus was taping voices around the world, as well as recording experiments I have done. Mme. Simonet focused on her contacts with the invisibles, especially through her television. Since the conference we have exchanged several letters and I think you will find the above excellent video pictures that she sent me in June very interesting.

VTF Review

Hans Heckmann, PA AA-EVP member, translated a recent German VTF Journal for me. Fidelio Koberle, the President of VTF and Editor of the Journal discussed various taping methods, most of which are familiar to our members. A new one, however, may be of some interest to you. This is called the Synthesized Speech Method. Koberle wrote: “Experience has taught us that paranormal voices can form more easily when acoustic ‘raw material we offer resembles more closely the human voice. Less energy is needed by the other side to form their words. A method that offers ‘chopped’ synthesized speech and could be combined to a multitude of combinations is currently being developed. We hope to be able to demonstrate this method and appropriate equipment at our meeting in Fulda this June.”

An Interesting Observation

David Lothamer,CA State Coordinator said in a recent letter/tape that although we are trying everything we know in order to have successful communication with Spirit through our tape recorders, we forget that a recorder is not a natural “medium” for our Spirit friends. In effect, we are asking them to leave their world of different frequencies and vibrations, to speak to us through equipment adapted to our world.

My thought (Estep) is if we could somehow get a better idea of frequencies and the vibrations in other dimensions, and then design equipment compatible with them, we could reasonably hope that communications would improve tremendously. Impossible? Perhaps, but let’s think about it. Let me know if you have any ideas.

Who’s Who

The publication board of Marquis Who’s Who has notified me that I will be listed in their next book: Who’s Who in the East This will appear in libraries this September. Look me up!

Transmitting Signals

In a recent letter from Dr. Ernst Senkowski, physicist and AA-EVP member from West Germany, he wrote: “Several observations clearly show ‘carrier’ signals apparently produced from the other side, sometimes following a remarkable reduction of the volume/noise coming from the radio receiver and starting with a sharp click like switching on. Afterwards, the receivers may be ‘dead’ for some time. So, in our system and with our words, we suppose someone transmitting signals which supermodulate our electromagnetic-acoustic field. In my view this is a clear sign for a special ‘field’ not yet to be measured by our instruments but overlaying and manipulating our space-time ‘reality’ which is tightly bound to certain functions of our mind-brain systems.”

MTFD

The MTFD is a transcommunication group founded in Frankfurt, W. Germany, in Oct. 1987. They publish a newsletter in German and I have received their last several news letters from Peter Kllmke, the President of the group. We are indebted to Hans Heckmann and his willingness to translate their news letters so we can share the highlights with our AA-EVP members. Some of the members of the group are having outstanding results through their tape recorders, telephones, TV and computers. The video contacts include sound which hasn’t always been the case in the past with other experimenters.

The newsletter reported about a woman’s voice which spoke over the phone. It is felt the voice was Flanna Buschbeck, founder of the German VTF, who died some years ago. She said:

“You will have eternal life after you pass over. You will be given the opportunity to LEARN to SEE and your BEING will get CLOSER TO THE TRUTH. Do not be afraid of dying, for there is no death. Do not make the mistake of considering your reality as the only real one. It will make your later learning process more difficult...”

In January, a video experiment was tried. The setup consisted of 2 TV sets and 4 older radio sets. All equipment was tuned to idle TV channels and radio frequencies for the purpose of offering R.F. energy and inter-channel hash to our friends. A black/white image of a man’s face appeared on the screen. A male voice heard by us and Dr. Senkowski spoke: ‘The whole consists of good and bad. Your existence is made up of every type of feeling. Every feeling is reality and you are responsible for everything. This is how your being (life) gains purpose.. .By your own energies you create good and evil.’

“Christmas 1989, brought the following tape recorded message: ‘Love and Forgive. Every thing that ever lived, lives now, this very second. Abraham and Jesus Christ therefore live among you, today, spiritually. Your present being is changeable as you will change after your physical death until somewhere you will experience the cosmos that is infinite to you. Nothing ever gets lost and all your personalities from past lives now also live within you.’

There are many computer contacts reported by the MTFD Association. Some of them are:

Q.: How many planes do you know?

A.: Very many ... and many we do not know.

Q.: What should be our concept of God?

A.: God is spirit which interpenetrates All that is. God is in Everything. All that is.

Q.: Can we contact our departed loved ones?

A.: That is possible if you wish

Q.: Does the person crossing over go directly to the third level?

A.: It differs and depends on karma.

Q.: What happens with us next?

A.: We cannot answer that as your future can be shaped by you and we are not all knowing.

Computer Contacts

In the letter that Hans Heckmann included, along with his translation of the MTFD news letter, he wrote: “A most fascinating time phenomena takes place in all computer contacts. There is a distinct time delay between questions and the type-out of the answers.. .My guess is that it has to do with the shift.from “No-Time” dimensions to our dimension of Space/Time. Only physical manifestations seem to be subject to this delay such as the appearance of a computer type-out or the appearance/disappearance of physical objects (Apports)...Direct or indirect (recorded) spirit voice does not seem to be limited by time. They are direct manipulations (modulations) of already existing electron magnetic fields or even psychic energy fields in our physical world. I am not sure in what category TV images belong. The entire subject of TIME-LINES, TIME-SLIDES, and TIME-WARPS is still a closed book to us. A most fascinating subject indeed, about which we are greatly ignorant!” 

Computer Experiments

Many AA-EVP members have computers. Let’s try some experiments and attempt to have contacts with the invisibles through our home computers. All objective contact with the unseen, whether it be through recorders, TV. or computers, is valid.

Game Plan: Type one question on your computer screen. Leave it. Go back every so often to see if there is an answer. The time delay that Hans mentioned in his letter is very real. Those that are having successful computer contacts find that answers can take from several hours to several days to be returned. If after three or four days nothing has been received, clear your screen and type another question. If you are taping tell the other side during a recording what you are going to do and ask their help in bringing computer messages to you. If you are not taping, verbally ask during a quiet time for computer contact. Let me know your results!

News From and About Members

Benata Barbarigo, a new member from FL, has had communication through her recorder from her seven year old daughter who died in 1950. More recently, her husband died and she grieved deeply. Benata kept hearing him speaking to her clairaudiently and wondered if she was “sick in my mind.” Then in March 1989, still speaking clairaudiently, he told her to focus her camera on a clear TV channel and take a picture. Benata did, and her husband came through. She enclosed a picture showing this, and a male image from the shoulders up can be seen in the “snow.’

Carol Barron, MA State Coordinator, wrote that her father made his transition the end of January. At her family’s request she taped during the funeral. She received: “We can help you Carol” and “Ed Monize (her father’s name)is come!” Carol said she later played the funeral tape and another demonstration tape for the minister who had officiated and he could hear most of it.

Dale Kaczmarek, IL, sent me a flyer that announces the publication of the book: True Tales of the Unknown published by Bantam. Dale’s article: “Bachelor’s Grove: Most Haunted Cemetery” is one of the thirteen true stories in the book. You can order the book directly from Dale for $5.75 which includes first class postage and handling. Write: [Address withheld]

Clara Laughlin, VA State Coordinator wrote that soon after the death of her neighbor of 21 years, the neighbor came through and asked for “forgiveness.” Clara assured her there was nothing to forgive, but suspects this request was made because during her life she had appeared skeptical about the voices.

Jean Lodge, N.Y. wrote that she has several “mirror” messages as some of the rest of us have taped. One of them is, “I want a mirror.”  Jean hoped to meet me at Lily Dale the end of July when I am lecturing and teaching a two day workshop.

Irene Maletsky, N.J., sent an interesting tape that has some excellent voices. She uses an old Emerson cassette recorder with a built in mike. Irene turns her recorder on while working in the kitchen. The invisibles use the background sounds in the kitchen, such as running water and the rattle of pots and pans, to help them speak.

Norman Marsh, England, sent me a recent issue of Psychic News, a British weekly spiritualist newspaper. The English Tourist Board is preparing a directory that will list haunted locations to visit where super-normal happenings can be expected.

Switzerland-England

From the enclosed flyer, you can see we have been busy planning a wonderful trip to Switzerland and England this November.

In the last two months I have called Basel three times and dealt with three travel agencies. The first two couldn’t give us the kind of week in England I wanted and their rates were too high. Finally I found a good agency, not far from home, who can give us exactly what I want for an excellent price (over $150 less than I had estimated in the Spring NEWS). Gina, the owner of the agency, said the itinerary I’ve planned sounds so wonderful, if she can possibly get away, she wants to go along. Need anymore be said?!

The topic for the Basel conference is:

Power Sites and Life Energies. This will appeal to everyone as we examine special power sites around the world that have unique energies such as the Pyramids, Glastonbury, Stonehenge, ley lines, and so on.

Look the flyer over. Decide to go with us. Don’t delay. I will be advertising the tour to metaphysical MD-D.C.-VA groups (over 20,000 people). I don’t believe in large tour groups so if you wait, you may be too late!

Odds and Ends

Deadline for the Autumn NEWS is Sept. 22nd.

Always my best wishes, Sarah Estep
