A Paranormal Query


art from the original testament.org website
 
 
Over the years, I've occasionally mentioned having observed the mentality of so-called 'skeptics' and 'denialists' in relation to a variety of 'transcendental communication' cases among the gamut of documented 'paranormal phenomena.'  The 'assumed imperative' seems to be protecting one's individual orientation arising from agnostic/atheist philosophies that became relevant with the rise of the 'scientific method.'  Such a frame of reference has allowed practitioners to enunciate any iconoclastic philosophy whatsoever with the intention of aggrandizing the point-of-view of the researcher (whatever that happens to be at the time).  The rebellion against hoary superstitions clearly has resulted with a religion of science that is equally dogmatic.
 
Another undiscriminating orientation often noticeable today is manifested by the plethora of news headlines continuously showing careless assumed imperatives of journalists — 'one country is doing this' and 'another country is doing that' . . . actually it is a few government officials who've made some decision that has engendered what is being reported.  Political and corporate decisions never reflect any intrinsic objective shared by all the people living in a particular country; therefore, one might well ask what actually is being accomplished by such tactics as international sanctions.

So what about 'one nation under God' (or one world under God for that matter)?  I've commented about perspectives of 'God' in blog articles, including these following observations:

May 3, 2009

It seems evident that 'God' or a Superconsciousness/Oneness doesn't so much rule over our Earth society (where humans have freedom of choice in many aspects of their lives) as much as foster the evolution of our spiritual awareness.  I've commented in the past about equating our good thoughts and 'conscience' with 'Superconsciousness' or 'Christ Consciousness' and my books chronicle how this perspective evolved.  I wonder if this perspective of God as "ruler of the universe" is one of the main quandaries for people who have no belief in these concepts.

. . . scientists err when interpreting findings under the assumption that such a Being as 'God' doesn't exist when instead they should consider that familiar concepts of God are inadequate.

March 5, 2017

A person might profess a belief in 'God' (according to how one perceives the meaning of the word); however, experiencing anomalous events and failing to consider God in the equation suggests the term is regarded in a limited way.  A lesson of manifold case studies of so-called 'unexplained phenomena' is that God/Oneness should be understood in an unlimited way.

Some years ago, links to articles I'd written about historical 'talking poltergeist' cases were removed from Wikipedia because an individual editor had decided that they somehow were inappropriate.  Nevertheless, dozens of articles on the topic of developing a perspective concerning so-called 'poltergeist phenomena' remain available at this blog, including "List of 'Talking Poltergeist' Accounts" and "'Gef: A Modern Sphinx as an Esoteric Lesson about Oneness".  
 
I remember once listening to the author of a new book about 'poltergeist' phenomena being interviewed by George Noory on "Coast to Coast AM."  The author didn't seem to know about my writings on this topic and his perspectives were merely theoretical.  During the interview, the casual conversation led to the author mentioning that he was being medicated for boredom.

Apparently the self-appointed Wikipedia editor is among the people uncomfortable with the 'common sense' perspective of spiritual experience I've attempted to articulate.  In the New Age, perhaps one should consider metaphysical reality beyond the limiting factor of certain words that bring about manifold emotional associations dependent upon individual perceptions.  For example, the name 'God' may have numerous connotations depending upon one's experience of life at any present moment beyond the word representing in part an omnipresent Cosmic Life Force.  There can be the 'knee-jerk' reaction for anyone to the 'God' that is a metaphor for the sum total of all our worldly interactions.  The latter 'God' is always to blame.  



Something perhaps even sadder than the nonintellectual 'skeptics'/'denialists' are countless people living today who will readily admit to rarely if ever even giving their attention to books or to any form of written articles.  Sources of distraction for people include the dull spectacle of TV shows (including the tedious pastime of professional sports) and fictitious narrative movies.  
 
One of the teachings about God and Love found in transcendental communication transcripts is: "And if you perceive God as love, this is the master you will serve." 
 
Prior to the origination of this blog on April 26, 2009, I'd been writing an autobiography — now entitled My Unexpected Path of Spiritual Discovery.  While blogging I continued working on the manuscript with the initial drafts of Part 1 and Part 2 completed in 2011.  Perhaps I'll choose to publish some of this material among future articles.  My longtime readers should be well aware of how it was never any personal ambition of my own to witness my path in life diverge into realms associated by the uninitiated public with such expressions as 'over-the-top.'  It is the experiencer of expanded spiritual knowledge (something quite different from emphatic 'belief' and 'faith') who realizes there is no choice other than sharing with others the realization of the life-changing discoveries that were bestowed. 

At this introspective juncture I'm interested in considering suggestions and advice from readers as to what paranormal subjects are favored for metaphysical contemplation.  The following are some possible topics being considered for blog articles:

Paranormal initiations to expanded consciousness

Further articles about reincarnation

Prophetic pop songs

'The Michael Pattern' summarized

Overlooked dangers for humanity mentioned in transcendental communication cases

Further articles about extensively documented contemporary channeling cases

Andrew Jackson Davis

John Dee

Further articles about the overlooked flying saucer 'contactees' cases of UFOlogy

What is your own desired subject of metaphysical zeitgeist at the current moment?  Each comment or Email that I receive is appreciated.

Holistic Realizations

Having become 62 on August 8, 2018, there are many ways that I still feel like a young person intent on experiencing new opportunities in life.  Following the confessions made in the blog article of last week, I'm reflecting about an individual's physical and mental predicament during Earth life and sharing some of the insights imparted over the course of 23 years of metaphysical contemplation and research.  My appointment with my HMO doctor on Friday preceded an appointment with a local holistic doctor on Monday, August 13.  After a friend had told me about Michael, I booked an appointment for an opening several weeks later as his services are in considerable demand.  His naturopathy practices include iridiology.  I learned that he, himself is the son of a naturopath, which explains how he has achieved so many credentials at the age of 25.

During my session, Michael used the latest technology in iridiology, taking a photo of an eye and then a photo of the other eye after I repositioned my head on the apparatus.  The computerized program soon gave the results of what was signified by the color and formations seen in the irises of my eyes.  He told me that my eyes show the 'blue iris' associated with the 'lymphatic iris' and 'lymphatic congestion.'  The internal fibre structure can be described as presenting a 'neuro lymphatic pattern.'  While suggesting some possible treatments, Michael mentioned 'GAPS' (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) and Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride.  I've since gone on to learn that Natasha developed a protocol "designed for patients suffering from learning disabilities, psychiatric and psychological disorders, immune system problems and digestive problems."

Below are some of the printed results of the iridiology analysis (showing my eyes), which correlate with what my HMO doctor diagnosed three days earlier. 


Information about Toni Miller is available at iridiologyonline.com.

Something that I've learned is that being spiritually aware can have life-changing consequences.  There are documented cases where dreams and other oracles (such as synchronicities) have warned people of danger and in response a change of plans helped them avoid being at the wrong place at the wrong time.  However, I know from a few of my own experiences that there may be times when an action taken as a precaution to heed a warning may not be enough to avoid some manner of mishap.

Driving to the Monday early evening appointment with the holistic doctor, I noticed a license plate abbreviating the words 'love my doctor' and then a few minutes later sighted a commercial company truck with the same last name as my naturopath.  During my conference with Michael, he suggested some alternatives to treating my 'gut brain.'  His first recommendation was Glutamine Complex (a powder taken daily in water), which I decided to start taking the very next day along with a 'liposome spray.'  Some other potential treatments were mentioned.  Intuitive moments can be felt in many ways and two of the tincture products mentioned as possibly helpful I knew wouldn't help me.

The following day my HMO doctor called me with lab testing results and it was learned that he was prescribing the medication ciprofloxacin for a bacterial urinary tract infection which I hadn't even recognized having — perhaps due to the abdominal discomfort I've been experiencing.

On Wednesday I began taking the antibiotic and will resume the 'complimentary and alternative medicine' treatments upon finishing taking the medication after seven days.

The 'generalized anxiety disorder' diagnosis related to me by HMO doctor Kenny has I think contributed to a reduction in my level of 'anxiety' as there is finally a definite documented area of human experience for me to consider.  'Anxiety' is a word that I've never given much reflection until now and after reading some definitions, in fact I don't think the word has any relevance befitting my complicated mental orientation to 'reality.'  'Anxiety' is a word expressing a general condition and I'm cognizant of the conditions that upset me.
 
A new physical symptom this week has been my experiencing something for the first time that I've heard about yet never dreamed could be something occurring in my own life — 'vertigo,' giving a 'spinning sensation' that occurs when my head is tilted in a certain position.  Each night I've been using the 'Epley Maneuver' to try alleviating the malady.  Kenny told me during our phone conversation that if the vertigo doesn't go away, he'll have to perform another physical maneuver on me — an unnerving prospect.
 
At both appointments with my new doctors, their questions resulted with my telling them about some of my unusual metaphysical experiences including how I first observed the phenomena of 'channeling.'  Kenny had asked me the reason I'd once undergone 'psychotherapy' so I simply explained.  It all must sound extraordinary when someone hears me casually stating a synopsis of what happened yet that's just what did occur —
 
Well I'd come back from investigating a 'talking poltergeist' haunting in Oklahoma (in 1995) only to find that paranormal phenomena was still occurring around me.  I realized that the haunting presence was, in fact, an Angelic Force that became comprehensible as a result of the unique sequence of events.  One afternoon I'd been telling my friends who they were the reincarnations of and suddenly it felt as if someone stepped out from inside of me.  I immediately realized that all of the things I'd been saying didn't at all reflect my usual personality and my reaction was to then become afraid that I could be experiencing so-called 'possession.'  I called my twin brother and one of the things I said was, "I want to die," although I didn't really mean that.  So my brother and two friends arranged an intervention and I agreed to take a vacation.  Suddenly there was an ambulance for me outside my condo and I was taken to a local psychiatric hospital, where I agreed to voluntarily check myself in on the basis that no medication be given to me.  That request was completely ignored as I soon felt odd and eventually realized that apparently hospital staff members were drugging the water given to me (so from then on I would only drink from the electric water fountain).  The doctors somehow had assumed that I was hallucinating and 'hearing voices.'  They knew that I was a writer whose current project was a "book on Poltergeist."  During my stay at the hospital, it was the patients around me and one visiting relative of another patient who suddenly began 'channeling' in proximity to me.  The channeled entities seemed to include my guardian Angel (or 'control'/'guide') and an extraterrestrial who mentioned crop harvests on some other planet.  

After several days, I returned home after one of the hospital staff members arranged for me to begin psychotherapy with a psychiatrist known to be experienced with cases involving psychic phenomena.  Reflecting about my life, my predicament has been so very different from what I'd expected upon becoming a metaphysical author.  Questioning what aspect of our Earthly reality would cause me to worry, my answer is there is something blatantly evident about the mentality of most human beings — a lack of spiritual discernment that has been hard for me to accept.  If one compares the data presented in the articles at this blog with mainstream media news topics, there should be some idea given of what I'm trying to convey.  However, I know that many of my metaphysical experiences must be highly uncommon.  For example, something that has reduced some 'anxiety' for me  over the years is that whenever I would mentally begin to formulate some potentially limiting hypothesis about the nature of 'God,' this would be followed by my ever-present 'Angel' (or 'control'/'guide' spirit) operating through the innate and subconscious aspect of myself to cause me to bite my tongue.  Literally.  In recent years, this has been a small symbolic nip but the first occurrences were quite emphatic eye-openers yet without noticeably drawing any blood or causing any significant lasting pain, of course.

This week I realized it would be a good idea to have a new photo taken of me along with a photo of the healing rose quartz crystals I've been using.  During my lunch break on Friday, I found a co-worker (C.V.) willing to spend a minute or so to take the photos at the garden patio outside the office where I work (the crystals were placed on a wooden bench).  The photographically harsh noon hour light reminds me that this summer seems the hottest one ever and, in fact, July was California's hottest month ever recorded.     


Yesterday while driving home after getting my groceries, it was recognizable that I felt much calmer than usual.  Unlike the week before, there was no 'death synchronicity' heard when I checked to see what songs were being played on pop music stations.

News headlines this week reported the passing of an American $717B defense spending bill that seems to me to be little more than a potential impetus for terrorism.  Wouldn't it be an expression of worldwide brotherhood for government leaders to focus on the shocking pollution problems gaining greater momentum in our world, where so much of people's attention is wasted on mindless entertainment and escapism.  Among the transcendental communicators who've offered environmental advice are 'The Nine,' 'The Seven,' 'Lazaris,' 'Paul,' 'Ramtha' and 'Seth.' 

A lesson that I've learned is the great significance of each individual's free will in contributing to bring about a more ideal and benevolent world.  The importance of this cannot be diminished when considering the gamut of aspects of life circumstances that so enormously find variation among the millions of people living on Earth at the present time.  This lesson is stated in many different ways throughout the annals of 'channeled' transcendental communication; so too may be read a variety of holistic perspectives relating to health. 

The renewal of transcendental communication spiritual dispensations of such phenomena known as 'channeling' and 'Instrumental Transcommunication' remind that spiritually aware human beings working together may help our society advance beyond any perceived limitations of earthly international cooperation and unsustainable religious orientations of the past.  The 'New Age'/'Age of Aquarius' is a recurring topic in transcripts documenting transcendental communication. 

Among the topics I haven't found time to write about are Numerology and Astrology as well as my own discovery of finding prophetic words and anagrams upon analysis of people's names.  My life path number is 1 and my astrological sign of the Zodiac is Leo.

Among the authors known as 'channelers' is Marjorie Livingston (1, 2, 3) who transcribed and published several books of transcendental communication.  The following excerpts are from the tenth chapter of Harmony of the Spheres (1931) and presents the perspective of 'Arcazaiel.'  The chapter is entitled "The Planetary Rays and the Esotericism of Colour."
  
When we teach, we do not give you data from without, but give you rather, the key to that which is within, in order that it may reach a point of contact within the human mind and be translated into terrestrial terms.

As it is not possible to demonstrate in the broad light of day the iridescence of the phosphorous which glints in tropic seas, so it is impossible to manifest in the physical the subtle wisdom of the Spirit.  Deep within the crevice of his own self a man may apprehend it dimly, but language cannot encompass it.  We use your earth similes, but they are but shadows.

Therefore, had not the ego all knowledge within its own integral Soul, then could no one give it to him from without.  His teaching would be words, words, and their continuity would be meaningless unless they had affinity with the truth which is within.


. . . the incarnating ego does not embark upon an earthly incarnation with his course uncharted.

His map, did he but know it, is in the stars.


So the ship, which is the body of incarnation, sails out into the sea of planetary life.  Her course is charted, her ports of call are written upon the instruction sheet, and the harbour of return is pre-ordained.  This is Destiny.

But he who is at the helm steers his own ship.

The living ego has charge of his carnate body.  Of his own freewill he may work in harmony with the Master of the ship, or he may work his own will upon the vessel, and go whither he listeth.  He cannot contest the currents, the winds or the storms, he cannot change the light of the stars that are set above him, but his sails and his rudder are his to do with as he will.

I have stressed this point, even to the length of  repeating myself, for it is one that has aroused much controversy.  Also it is not good that man should believe on the one hand, that he must, willy-nilly, obey his destiny, for then is all human endeavour become nullified, and all achievement robbed of its honour.  Neither is it well he should believe that his life lies before him unbounded by aught except his own purpose and intention, and that he Lord God has left him without guidance and without a definite purpose to be achieved.

An incarnating spirit, born into the world, is considered to be confined to the world, and even to a certain section of it, geographically.  But his true position in the Cosmos is that which he bears in relation to the other planetary and astral bodies.

According as he himself is placed, so the vibrations reach him which are impinged upon his aura by the projections of astral rays.


The immortal Soul shall respond to the immortal Elements.  Those stars which have affinity with his Being shall herald his entry into the world, and their function shall be not so much to form his character as to proclaim it.  The influences of the stars are known, and their course is set that they may produce such experience as is necessary to the ego upon his earthly incarnation and establish and confirm that within his nature which is essential to his progression.


The heavens are an open map, accessible for your study, and each carnate being may discover the planetary ray which lies in affinity with his own vibrations.  A name should be given him of which the numerical value is in correspondence and harmony.  He himself should seek to maintain true harmonics throughout the term of his earthly existence, for they will outlast the discarnation of his flesh and continue throughout the planes of earth's celestial boundaries.

There is a Song of Life, a harmony you may cull from dates and numbers which are the outer forms in which the eternal Mysteries are enshrouded by the flesh.

You, who shall be All-in-One in Nirvana, are units upon earth, even fractions of a unit.  Within you there vibrates one colour in the spectrum, one note in the scale of music, one number vibrates in harmony, one jewel is your affinity.  See that your Note of Life is sounded in harmony that its echoes may soar above the confines of earth and find response in Heaven.

Messages from the Spiritual World & My Strange Disclosure


Some of the messages heard by Instrumental Transcommunication researcher Hans Otto Konig and quoted in his autobiography Listen!  New Discoveries about the Afterlife (2017/ coauthored by Anna Maria Wauters) are presented in this article.  The messages offer metaphysical perspectives concerning life in the ascended realm of human existence.  As an introduction to these passages, here are some of the comments of Hans about 'Who is calling?'

Who is sending the messages?  An inevitable question!

"It is the Invisible World of Spirit," the researcher affirms, "with its multiple information fields.  In some cases, through historical investigation, I could verify the identity of the sender.  They were always people unknown to me, but who had actually lived on the Earth plane.  In other cases, they were people I had known personally.  Or they were people who knew the person who began making contact with me."


"Many messages often give the name they had during their lifetime on the Earth plane, very often first and surname.  They assure the researcher that they are still alive despite their physical death . . ."

The following ITC messages are presented in chronological order as they appear throughout the book, beginning in the Second Part.

"We must learn to speak here."


"Have understanding of the difficulty of the communication with us."


"Contact with the Afterlife."


"Listen: We want to say to the humans.  We know all your thoughts.  All your thoughts are known to us."


"We will communicate to you all terms and definitions according to your comprehension."


"The dead speak; it's us."


"Do you hear me Otto; do you hear Josef Konig?"  [the father of Hans]


"We have great concern with what is happening on your Earth."


"We know that extraterrestrial life will come to get in touch with you."


"Does a face really exist or a face may be an accumulation of infinite masks."


"Everything you learn here, you can use in the afterlife.  Nothing is lost to you."


"The Earth shall now be placed in a new state of consciousness."

"Its power of consciousness will be raised."

"Listen!"


[To the researcher's question "What is the third level?" came the reply:]

"Where humans and animals live peacefully together."


"Listen: death does not exist; everything is designed for eternity."


(H.O. Konig: "Since what time have you been linked to me?")

"I have been with you since your birth."


"Everyone must understand that here you play a supporting role, going infinitely far beyond earthly life."


"We are all a unity of life, even animals and plants."


"Love is life forever."


"Listen: The knowledge will be decisive, in what life plane you will be incarnate."


"A beautiful, supernatural world it is, in what we are living."




From Mark Russell Bell:

I've never taken the time to minutely describe my 'paranormal' experiences of recent years because I'm familiar with how difficult to accept many people find things like this.  I'll state at this time that the amount of 'synchronicity' in my daily life is probably beyond anyone's conception of what is possible (as earlier in my life it would have been beyond mine).  My recognition of this phenomena developed with the strange initiation chronicled in the case study book about the life-changing revelations I experienced: Testament (1997).  I can definitively testify that for me 'God' makes Their Presence known every day.  The main challenge that I've faced as a metaphysical author is that people project their own beliefs into what information I present instead of concentrating on discerning what is new that can be learned.  Concerning the subject of 'synchronicity,' suddenly this past week I'd begun noticing a plethora of death symbols manifesting around me so my expectation became that I could possibly soon be finding myself in the Afterlife.  
 
Last June 2017, I experienced a health crisis after contracting two viruses in a matter of several months.  The second virus brought a widespread rash, which sent me to my doctor who prescribed an antibiotic.  Days later I awoke during the night with bodily discomfort that was so pronounced that dying seemed a distinct possibility.  An incident that occurred shortly before my illness is that one afternoon as I went into the bathroom a small hand mirror suddenly toppled from atop the cabinet and broke.  (As a result of this occurrence and some others, in my case I don't give much credence to any strictly literal interpretation of the channeled perspectives relating to disease that I've studied.)  For several weeks after my health crisis, there was so much gas coming up out of me with internal bloating that hemorrhaging while sleeping became a constant fear.  At night I needed to continuously change sleeping positions or else the discomfort would increase and there were occasions when I found it necessary to sleep in a sitting position on a chair.  Researching my symptoms experienced during the crisis, I conducted an Internet search and found the closest matches were diverticulosis and sciatica (simultaneously) although the ultrasound, intravenous CAT scan and colonoscopy testing produced no obvious indications of the precise cause for my condition.  Ever since then, the level of discomfort has fluctuated but it has never returned to being as bad as it was at the onset.  By the end of July I'd lost more than 20 pounds after only having missed a few meals.  I wasn't overweight before, having maintained an average weight of 185 for the preceding two decades.  My current weight is 165.  Having promptly been placed on the Low FODMAP Diet was beneficial.  Following some unsuccessful attempts to bring back some other foods into my diet, I'm not currently able to plan a new attempt.  In particular, almost all processed foods have been problematic for me.  This past Wednesday, I became extremely nauseated while eating my usual foods at lunch and therefore called my medical office to make an appointment.  A Friday afternoon visit was scheduled.  This was when the upsetting synchronicity seemed to become more pronounced.  For example, on Friday morning I was driving to work and decided to change the channel from the classical station to a pop music station.  The song that came on was "Pictures of You" by The Cure with the lyrics "Crying for the death of your heart."  Soon after that—thank God—it was consoling to see on the car in front of me a Jesus fish symbol along with a bumper sticker showing a depiction of Jesus.
 
At the office of my medical care provider, I met with a new doctor who actually discussed my situation in a coherent fashion, unlike all the previous doctors I've consulted.  Kenny is a young 'physician assistant' yet he actually listened to what I had to say and carefully took notes.  We're waiting for test results.  I was at the office for two hours.  A previous uncertain diagnosis is 'IBS' (irritable bowel syndrome) which is a disease that doctors seem to only vaguely understand. I asked Kenny what diagnosis he would make and he replied 'generalized anxiety disorder,' which is something I hadn't heard of before.  Posing a conundrum, it's obvious that a lot of my present anxiety is from having a long-term illness after being in good health with no major surgery all my life (and prior to turning 60).  It's difficult for me to evaluate the 'generalized anxiety disorder' diagnosis but considering the 'physical signs' mentioned at the Mayo Clinic website, the one that applies to me is IBS.  On the way home from the medical appointment I began declaring aloud that I will no longer feel anxiety for the problems of the world around me.  I'm bewildered about how some part of myself could be internalizing my fears, anxieties and concerns for troubling conditions throughout society.  Any personal notions of 'happiness' and 'joy' were relinquished years ago; however, when one becomes ill, one realizes just how many blessings in life one has taken for granted.  I can honestly say that I like my life and wouldn't trade places with anyone else.  I've always been honest with readers about the strange lessons manifesting in my life and my health predicament over the last year has been perhaps the most difficult sequence of events that I've experienced.
 
On Saturday while doing my grocery shopping the death synchronicity was again noticeable with songs on the pop music station being Kelly Clarkson with "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" and Wings with "Live and Let Die."  There was a previous brief interlude of a flurry of death imagery for me back in September just after my first gastroenterologist prescribed two more weeks of a potent antiobiotic, which I didn't think was a good idea to use anyway although I desperately wanted to feel better. 
 
Today my Sunday schedule also required a short drive and I ended up making precise notes about manifesting 'synchronicity.'  I turned on the radio with the channel selection still being KRTH and the song playing was the one that is definitely my No. 1 regularly heard song since I started thinking about such matters in 1995: "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds.  I changed the channel to KLOS and was shocked to hear playing the George Harrison song "All Things Must Pass."  Commercials then started (which I never listen to) so I changed the channel and the song was another familiar song: "Hotel California" by the Eagles (which is actually the subject of a previous blog article).  Keeping a lookout for traffic symbols, I saw at different times two number sequences on license plates that for many years I've been interpreted as each offering coded instructions from my unseen omnipresent 'editor' regarding how to improve the latest blog article: one sequence meaning 'take something out' and another meaning 'clarify something.' (I believe I found and made the appropriate revisions.)  Today I'd planned to begin rereading the book The Magic Staff (1867) by Andrew Jackson Davis; however, I realized I was in no state to read anything.  In fact, I found myself becoming extremely angry and confused.  After all, I'm only human.  Well, I've already run the gamut of emotions this bizarre week so I soon became calmer as obviously whatever is happening is something beyond my control.  All day today, I've been in no condition to talk with anyone.  Upon beginning the drive home, I first decided to leave the radio off but then changed my mind.  On the selected channel, the Rick Springfield song "Jessie's Girl" was playing and never have I been so happy to hear such a stupid song.  The station selected is one that doesn't have DJs and instead plays prerecorded funny comments between songs.  I wasn't closely listening until the wry comment being said ended with the words " . . . you're one day closer to your death."  Then began the song "Rock You Like a Hurricane" by Scorpion (something unlistenable) so I changed the station to KOST and heard "It Must Have Been Love" by Roxette.  Then the female radio DJ began talking about Karen Sharpe and her nightly "Love Songs" show and I was astonished to learn that she's still on the air because I well remember that the only song dedication ever made by me was on her show in the autumn of 1999.  And now I'm reflecting about what an historically unprecedented 'pop culture' society we've all been experiencing for such a long time.
 
I plan to investigate therapeutic techniques for reducing anxiety and have been reminding myself about all the wonderful things that have happened to me throughout my life.  As long as I'm alive and in good health, I'll be publishing new articles to help others expand their spiritual and metaphysical awareness.  This is blog article #429 of Metaphysical Articles: Interesting Articles, Links and Other Media.

Autobiography of an ITC Researcher


"Hans Otto König, 1982 in his lab"
  

Listen!  New Discoveries about the Afterlife (2017) is the autobiography of Hans Otto Konig (written with Anna Maria Wauters).  The book is subtitled "Scientific Research on Contact with the Invisible.  Experiences of Instrumental TransCommunication."  Hans has been researching and studying ITC for nearly 45 years.  "Listen!" is the word that has often punctuated the "live connections with another world" during his research.

The name Konig means 'king' in German.  Hans Otto Konig was born in Düsseldorf-Ratingen, Germany.  His mother was an opera singer and actress while his father was an engineer, violinist and owner of the only 'radio-and-television shop' in the district located not far from the banks of the Rhine.  Hans's wife Margaret is a well known hypnoanalyst.

At age six, he built his first radio, by himself, with only the information he found in books he borrowed from the library.  His love for crafting radios never ceased, and at age 18, he even obtained his amateur radio operator license.  Often he stayed up all night exchanging messages with people from all over the world.

Young Hans was interested in technology, physics and metaphysics while questioning the religious instruction that he heard at church.  At 18 he began studying physics, specializing in technical-high-frequencies, at the RWTH University of Aachen in Germany.  Upon graduation, he began working for several large companies.  He started his own business in 1970.  A 1974 television documentary about Friedrich Jurgenson excited Hans about the new "electronic voices" phenomena.  He later met with Jurgenson on several occasions and also became familiar with the work of Konstantin Raudive.  Another prominent researcher, George Meek, visited Konig in his laboratory in 1987. 
  
To acquire a well-founded knowledge about a topic and to form a judgement about it, it is necessary to study it thoroughly and then experience it yourself.  To learn more, H. O. Konig extensively acquainted himself with the existing recording materials — the simple radio method, with background noise like trickling water, or the procedure using a simple microphone — and furnished himself with the necessary technical equipment to run multiple trials.

He went on to meet other experimenters, intensively studying their methods of work, their thoughts, and their results.  

His first experimental laboratory was established in Ratingen and his own breakthrough is described in the Second Part of the book.  His first experience audibly recognizing an electronic voice occurred a year and half after he began devoting his Tuesday nights to experimentation.  After that, he increased the time devoted to research and began experimenting with different radio waves.
 
The contact itself was recorded on a magnetic tape or a cassette, later replayed.  Using this technique, he received very short messages, and often only a few scraps of conversation, not exceeding 14 syllables.

The sound quality was highly variable.  Some recordings were clear and audible, but most only came through like a faint breath, a whisper or an exhale, like a sigh.  Sometimes they were spoken quickly or, conversely, the vowels were drawn out slowly, which required a tape recorder that he could accelerate or slow down while listening.  Sometimes the diction was a little robotic.

A term used for the contacts with communicators of unseen worlds is 'contact bridge.'  Here are some of the ITC messages received by Hans and translated to English as they appear in the beginning chapters of the book —
 
"Tell all humans that we are alive!"


"Many people live with the thought of the absolute loss of a loved one.  But this is not a loss in the true reality.  Nobody ceases to exist; every life is forever!"


"Contact is of divine vibration."


"Listen: Sensation and Superstition do exist in human beings.  They don't know reality."


"Mamma, we're all fine."

Semantics can be a question for anyone expressing perspectives relating to spiritual 'Oneness' in relation to the nature of transcendental communication.  Hans stated that "Superconsciousness . . . is always connected with the Invisible Worlds."  Among many conceptions of the subconscious human mind articulated by Hans, something left unstated in a literal way is the concept of each individual subconscious mind being interlinked as they ultimately have the same omnipresent Source Mind.  
  
Hans and his wife were on a spiritual path with the ITC research, which became their primary focus.  Occasionally personal sacrifices were made relating to material comforts with financially lucrative proposals being turned down at times when it was realized these could have an adverse effect on their ITC work.

. . . just at the moment the couple was about to buy a beautiful home, the experimenter's research reached a critical point where he needed significant funds to continue developing the Multi-Oscillation System.  If  he couldn't find the money, all his research would have to stop.  He needed a huge investment, but with no certainty of success. 


His wife gave him the answer: "Well, so we won't buy the house.  We'll use the money for your research!"

The book includes comments about Konig's sensational demonstration of ITC during a live television broadcast hosted by Rainer Holbe, the first of many live experiments on Holbe's show and other radio and TV shows featuring Konig.  The European broadcast at Radio Luxembourg during "Unglaubliche Geschichten" ("Incredible Stories") was witnessed by an audience of millions.  Prior to the broadcast, he was considering how to achieve "a spectrum of frequencies large enough for different entities to come through? . . . He searched for months but could not find an ideal solution.  Then for several nights in a row, he had the same dream . . . An elderly man showed him a schematic image, 'A Block Wiring Diagram.'  He began to comprehend it . . ."

The system devised by Hans consisted of six oscillators incorporating six pieces of quartz crystal.  The following is the book's English translation of the ITC responses witnessed on Holbe's TV show: 
  
HOK: "Can I try to get in touch with you?"

R: "Try."

HOK: "Can you hear me?  I think I have the right frequency."

R: "We hear your voice."

H. O. Konig is now addressing a deceased friend named Helmut.

R: "I come to Fulda."

(Fulda was, at that time, the conference venue.)

Then another voice said, "Otto Konig speaks with the dead (Totenfunk)"

Totenfunk is a German neologism, which literally translated means "dead-radioing."  This sentence, which does not lack humor,  was broadcast throughout the day on all German radio channels in diction typical to the Multi-Oscillation System, somewhat technical and choppy, like on a computer.

Thanks to this new system, Hans Otto Konig made the acquaintance of people who would accompany him throughout his research: the Central (die Zentrale).

During one of their first contacts, the researcher asked:

HOK: "Who are you?"

"We have no names."

HOK: "Do you have an important function, Zentrale?"

"Yes."

Since then, Hans Otto and Margaret Konig have used the name "Die Zentrale" for these Spiritual Entities still manifesting themselves in the first person plural . . . 

During the 1980s, Hans learned that ITC experiencer Klaus Schreiber had received phenomenal television images of deceased family members: his daughter, wife and grandmother.  Hans visited him at Aix-la-Chapelle.  After closely observing and studying Klaus Schreiber's technique, H. O. Koenig reflected and remembered the many messages he himself had received to the question 'Do you still have other options for transmitting yourself to us?'
  
"Contacts with us in television."

or

"We have the ability to transmit our life with the contacts by television."

The meeting with Schrieber became the catalyst for Hans developing a new dual modulation system enabling contacts of synchronized audio and video messages.

Some messages that were received drew his attention to the importance of crystals in the facilitation of ITC contacts with a resulting 'HRS-System Based on Crystals (The Hyperspace System).'
  
"Crystals are the key for the connection."

"The path by the crystals."

"We will come by crystals."

"Take the crystals as support for the contacting."

When Hans asked what kind of quartz should be used, the response came: "Rock Crystal."  He then "began constructing a system with transistors, photos, and diodes, allowing him to observe how and on what frequencies the crystals reacted . . . One night he received a message from his spiritual friends directing him to use ultraviolet light."
   
. . . all variations of the system demonstrated that the crystals were a fundamental aid in establishing contact with other life planes.


The researcher's wife, Margaret Konig, dubbed the new system the "Hyper-Space System" because it allows us to transcend our world of space-time to connect with other existences far from our terrestrial universe.

Through the crystalline beings, entities came to meet us to establish a real dialogue with voices of incredible clarity.  After so many years of exciting adventures and hard work, finally Hans Otto Konig had reached his goal: considerably improving the sound quality and the length of messages.  But for many people who had not closely followed his progress with contacting, confronting these voices so similar to the human voice far surpassed their understanding.  They could not believe that these voices came from other worlds.  It was too difficult for them to comprehend this phenomenon; the leap into the unknown was too huge.  The researcher realized the profound truth of the words transmitted by the Zentrale:

"Listen!  We know your questions.  Only a few do it understand."

"In fact," the researcher explains, "it is like trying to explain higher mathematics to a child of six who has learned only simple arithmetic until now — except that openness to this phenomenon does not depend on the intellect but on the maturity of the mind.  It is, therefore, obvious that the child turns away from it."

The latest device invented by Hans is the UDS-System (the System at Universal Direction).
  
We could say, basically, that this unique system brings together two others that preceded it: the Generator and HRS-System.  For this technique, the Invisible World transmitted six new frequencies to him.

Several changes have already occurred along the way: the "crystal-mother" has been changed and the rock crystal have been replaced by six Herkimer diamonds, quartz-mono-crystals, the only crystals that are not born in colonies.

With this system, the researcher tries, for example, to better understand the influence of crystals to identify how the selection with the Invisible World is made and to create a broader frequency spectrum so that multiple entities can get in touch and communicate longer.

Experiments with this extremely sensitive system are done only in the presence of people who show a profound interest in the Spirit World and who are ready to prepare themselves for this exchange.  By this system, it is no longer the spheres where the consciousnesses of the deceased are transmitted, but other supra-terrestrial spheres populated by various energy forms who have never lived on our planet Earth.  We are grateful for what we can still discover, live through technical systems, of other dimensions that surround us and with which we are intimately connected, whether we are conscious of them or not.

Interview recordings of Hans Otto König were made during a visit to his laboratory by fellow prominent ITC researchers George Meek and Ernst Senkowski.
  

The following comment in Listen!  New Discoveries about the After Life is from a part of the book entitled "Meeting the World of Science":
 
It seems that in the last 14 years many ITC experimenters came into the spotlight, like Anabela Cardoso in Spain, Marcello Bacci in Italy, and Sonia Rinaldi and Carlos Nunez in Brazil, surrounded by teams of scientists.  The researcher followed with interest the scientific developments and the quantum physicists who arrived at amazing research conclusions . . .
