The fifth edition of the psychiatrists’ bible—the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)— is coming out this month. The changes involve minor tweaking of terms and definitions that have always been rather elusive and malleable… pertaining to the diagnosis of mental disorders—depression, autism, bipolar, and so on.

-books

Read more about the DSM updates….

One complaint about the DSM has always been that disorders have been defined more by consensus among psychiatrists than by objective measurement of symptoms under laboratory conditions.

So… many people—patients as well as health professionals—yearn for a new and transformative DSM that would get more to the neurological, chemical and biological bedrock of symptoms and causes of mental disorders.

With that in mind, this is an excellent opportunity to begin to introduce spiritual influences into psychology and psychiatry—specifically, the presence of many invisible spirits flourishing among us physical humans and their effects on our thoughts and feelings.

Read more about those spiritual influences….

It’s just a matter of time before spiritual realities are tossed into the omelet we call modern science, and this could be an opportunity to start cracking the egg.

Congratulations to California filmmaker Dan Drasin, who’s produced (imho) the best technical documentary to date on spirit communication and the afterlife.

The title: Calling Earth.

Dan explores the phenomenal history of technical spirit communication (from the work of Friedrich Juergenson and Konstantin Raudive) to the awe-insipring results of contemporary researchers including Marcello Bacci (Italy), Ernst Senkowski (Germany),  and Maggy Fischbach in Luxembourg.

Maggy isn’t shown in the film, even though I’m convinced that her results are unequivocally the best in the world. Having worked closely with her for a number of years, I’m sure that the miraculous contact field that opened up for Maggy (and which was used by our spirit friends to place phone calls to me and to various other researchers on both sides of the Atlantic) was made possible largely by the fact that she’s a very private, highly sensitive woman. She’s learned over the years that opening oneself up to the noble-savage soup of human emotions, especially the contempt of crusading skeptics, fouls-up the contact field and weakens the resulting communications from beyond. So… in case you’re wondering why “the Luxembourg group” doesn’t show up, even in good films like this one… that’s why.

The film also looks closely, here in the States, at the Butlers, Sarah Estep, and the EVP moms collaborating as “The Big Circle,” a name coined by their departed children.

This is a great film!… and it lasts about an hour.

This, by the way, is a not-quite-finished “rough cut” of Dan’s film. I’ll try to follow Dan’s progress, and then report when the completed film is ready for release. I hope to buy one of the first DVDs!

Happy viewing!… and, again, thanks Dan!

Here’s another wonderful afterlife movie from Brazil, currently viewable on youtube, with English subtitles:  the life of the Portuguese medium Chico Xavier.

View the subtitled Chico Xavier movie here…

Or watch below (click the [  ]  symbol at bottom right to view fullscreen)….

 

 

Like the other Spiritist movie I explored recently, Nosso Lar (The Astral City), the Xavier film can be seen freely at the moment… perhaps with a small window of opportunity. (It was just posted in the past few days, and it may or may not be removed soon from this link by the rights-holders.)

If removed from the free youtube site, the movie can be streamed from various other websites, for example…

(here…  here…  here…  and here…)

Not available on DVD

Be careful buying a DVD. Make sure it’s engineered for Region 1. The only DVDs of the Chico Xavier movie that I could find for sale online are in a format unsuitable for North America. (see international DVD format details)

In any case, if you haven’t seen the two-hour movie yet, you’re missing out on a moving, insightful experience!

About the movie

The film is an intimate portrait of the famous medium Chico Xavier, from his difficult childhood to his “disembodiment” at age 92… who wrote (through automatic writing) more than 400 books… all proceeds going to charitable causes.

Despite being taunted as a child as possessed, crazy, and a liar… being physically abused by his stepmother… and being assailed as a young man by a skeptical media and self-righteous Catholic priesthood, Chico Xavier led a life of love and enlightenment. His countless channeled messages from departed loved ones and healings of people suffering physically, emotionally, and spiritually were performed freely.

This all comes to light in the moving film, a poignant drama suffused with spiritual insights that Chico received through an intimate rapport with his spirit guide, Emmanuel.

Unlike the movie Nosso Lar, Chico Xavier has few special effects, other than a glimpse of ethereal impressions spinning in his head. It’s a down-to-earth film with an other-worldly backdrop.

Scientists are still dancing around the afterlife… trying to make sense of it in Newtonian terms.

Yet another study of near-death experiences (NDEs)—based on interviews with people who’ve died briefly and recovered—explores neurochemical explanations for the tunnels, doorways, glowing light, departed loved ones, and other lucid experiences… and notes that the crystalline afterlife memories are often much more profound and transformative than our normal, day-to-day memories.

Read that Plos One report….

RainbowTunnel

This is one one many pictures you can see by googling “rainbow tunnel,” suggesting that many artists are inspired by an afterlife knowledge deep within. This photo was taken by TravelPod member misocutlet of Kuwana, Japan.
More here:
http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/nabana-no-sato-tunnel-japan

In a nutshell, the study published in Plos One concludes that about 5 percent of the general population and 10 percent of heart-attack victims report near-death experiences, yet no one really knows what they are… other than “flashbulb memories of really perceived hallucinations.”  Adding complications to the study is the fact that healthy people sometimes have similar experiences during meditation and when taking certain serotonin-mimicking hallucinogenic drugs.

Read a short history of hallucinogens….

Well, you and I know what NDEs really are. If you follow this blog you know that afterlife and the finer realms of spirit are the greater reality, while life on Earth is maya… illusion. That’s why, when our earthly blinders come down momentarily during an NDE or meditation, our glimpse of the other side is so lucid, so profound, and so life-changing.

Once we experience the greater afterlife reality and process it through our physical senses, our noble motivations take the steering wheel, guided by the finer spirit within, while our savage inclinations—fueled by hormones, ego, and our carnal composition—move to the back seat.

Editor’s note: In the landmark book Breakthroughs in Technical Spirit Communication, co-author Maggy Harsch-Fishbach of Luxembourg recalls in detail her miraculous rapport with spirit group Timestream… especially the spirit of late scientist Swejen Salter and ethereal being Technician. Maggy’s frank and inspiring recollections give some of the greatest understanding available in today’s world about the nature of the afterlife and the qualities necessary to foster a sustainable connection between this world and that… as indicated by this adaptation of Part 2 of her book about ITC (instrumental transcommunication), the use to technology to get in touch with the other side.

Read Part 2 of Maggy’s book in its entirety

Background. Swejen Salter was a scientist on planet Varid, one of Earth’s parallel physical worlds… each of which follow similar evolutionary paths with some variations. Societies on Varid, for example, evolved in a Dickensian way in which children were nurtured in large institutions by professional caregivers rather than in families… so that the noble-savage inconsistencies among parents didn’t pose the widespread problems that they do on Earth… where “sins of the father” are passed on from generation to generation to generation….

Read more about parallel worlds

Science on Varid was deeply involved in multidimensional research, especially ITC, unlike Newtonian science on modern Earth, which has blindfolded itself from the vast spiritual worlds that flourish with life all around us. Terrestrial science today is immersed completely in the illusory material world, whereas Varidian science was more integrated with spiritual reality.

This sci-fi-like scenario of many parallel worlds evolving separately like cages of lab animals under controlled conditions is just one of many mind-boggling insights into reality gleaned by Maggy Harsch-Fischbach through her other-worldly communications using ITC systems… and it provides the basis for her historic research.

Dr Swejen Salter died in an explosion on Varid in 1987 and was recruited in the afterlife to help Earth advance its multidimensional understanding. In Luxembourg at the same time, schoolteacher Maggy Harsch-Fischbach was attracted to ITC research while watching the TV show Unbelievable Stories being broadcast by RTL (Radio-Television Luxembourg).

A group of ethereal beings calling themselves “The Seven” were closely observing all of these scenarios. Like superhuman lab scientists, they were controlling some of the conditions in this multidimensional experiment involving many parallel physical worlds and their corresponding spiritual worlds. They put Swejen Salter in charge of Timestream spirit group, and they selected Maggy harsch-Fischbach as the first full-fledged ITC researcher on Earth, for whom a communication bridge would be opened, sustained, and protected by the ethereals.

The job of Swejen Salter at Timestream sending station would be to share information with Maggy Harsch-Fischbach in Luxembourg through the high-tech communication bridge being monitored and facilitated by The Seven,  especially the one calling himself “Technician.”

Maggy and Swejen often chatted on the phone like girlfriends, as Swejen coordinated the work of hundreds of people-in-spirit who all shared the desire to foster a connection with their loved ones back home on Planet Earth. Swejen and her spirit colleagues also talked through Maggy’s radio sounds, sent video images from the afterlife through her TV set, and planted files on her computer containing long messages and bit-mapped images. They even sent Maggy some FAXes!

In short, the doors were open wide, thanks largely to Technician, who described his assigned role as gatekeeper between heaven and earth.

Friendly, Insightful Dialogs

In one of her early computer messages to Maggy in the late 1980s, Swejen wrote:

I died at the age of 38 as the result of an accident. Death came suddenly and unexpectedly. I was totally unprepared and cannot remember my passing over. I awoke on a recliner in a cheerfully decorated room that I had never seen before. Before I could have a closer look around, a tall, imposing man entered the room and identified himself as Richard Francis Burton. He welcomed me and started showing me the world in which he had lived since the year 1890 of your Earth time. I felt happy and safe here. Everybody was friendly and helpful. Still, the change was difficult. It is not easy to adapt to a new life when one is torn away from a daily routine.

On one occasion, Swejen told Maggy:

Unfortunately I cannot and may not answer all your questions. Do not forget that I have to get permission for some of this information from higher beings.

On another occasion, Technician added:

Swejen Salter is being granted much freedom of information!

As Swejen got acclimated to her new afterlife surroundings, she reported to Maggy:

If you harbor bad intentions and thoughts you will not be here very long.

She explained that people who carry with them to the afterlife a lot of emotional baggage (earthly resentments, suspicions, fears, cravings…), and are unable to detach from the troubled thinking, might suddenly find themselves in darker, more confused surroundings for awhile, or reincarnate to Earth to try to work out the problems in another lifetime.

Spirit communication pioneer Konstantin Raudive, a Latvian psychologist, died in 1974 and also joined Timestream spirit group. In July 1986 he told Maggy:

On the third level of consciousness each of us individually will find ourself closer to our own true self. While on Earth I tried to be something other than my true self. Most people try to paint a picture of themselves other than what they really are. Today, on this world, I acknowledge my own true self more.

Swejen reported to Maggy that various deceased scientists were being drawn to ITC projects, including psychologist Karl Jung, Nikola Tesla, Guglielmo Marconi, Marie Curie and Albert Einstein.

When scientist Konrad Lorenz died in 1989, Swejen Salter reported his arrival at Timestream:

He (Lorenz) was transported to us in a magnificent ship surrounded by people. Imagine a Viking ship in which his (astral) body was brought to his destination. He is still in a state of sleep. But it can already be observed that his features and his body are changing and becoming more youthful. Lorenz will probably remain in this regenerative sleep for only a short time. The sleep duration varies from one individual to another. It is generally about six weeks of earth time. Some people need considerably less.

Maggy was told that she and Swejen Salter shared a certain spiritual resonance, and so did Konrad Lorenz, which enabled him also to communicate without too much trouble through Maggy’s ITC bridge.

Maggy recalled her contact with Konrad Lorenz, “Compared to others, who could no longer express themselves in their lifetime speech pattern, Lorenz seemed to have no problems putting his thoughts through a spirit apparatus and forming them into human language. As he spoke to me, his voice gradually lost the monotony of synthetic speech. Dialog became possible and I forgot that I was speaking to a “dead” one. I noticed that Lorenz rolled his “r” and spoke with an Austrian accent. He was very friendly, advised me to take notes, and spoke slowly and distinctly. He thanked me for the nice report I had written about him.”

Maggy was told on various occasions, by Swejen, Technician, and others, that the laws and principles in the spirit world were quite different from Earth, and information sent to our world had to be translated or polished into a context that could be understood by us terrestrial humans. If the information were delivered straight to our world in unfiltered form, it would seem bizarre and incomprehensible. Pictures from the astral worlds, for example, could be sent to us only if the images were earth-like enough for us to recognize.

That seems to be one of the main obstacles facing modern ITC research: the very limited understanding of us on Earth. Our multidimensional insensitivity filters out much of the information that could come into our world from beyond.

Another obstacle is our tendency to fall into negative thinking. A protected ITC bridge to finer realms can remain open only as long as there is a harmony of good feelings on both sides. Fears and animosities harbored by earth experimenters can attract troubled spirits into the situation. This is a problem our spirit friends have to contend with. Swejen Salter told Maggy in 1989:

Recently I have been very busy trying to avert negative influences. I am therefore avoiding contacts at present which could contribute to interference.

Successful ITC rests on the harmonic cooperation of the people involved. That harmony sets up a “contact field” of life energy conducive to close interaction by a spirit group. Then, when the factors of good will come together, miracles can unfold.

Around the year 1990, two annual conferences were to be held—a small ITC conference in Bad Muenstereifel, Germany, and a much larger PSI Days conference in Basel, Switzerland. Swejen Salter said the conditions (group harmony) at the smaller conference would be much more conducive for a live ITC contact. Swejen:

I do not know yet if a contact attempt is possible in Basel. It is too early to tell. At present the timelines are not favorable…. Conditions are especially good for a contact in Bad Muenstereifel. At the moment they are better than for Basel. Many good and serious researchers will be going to Bad Muenstereifel. The participants are able to build a favorable contact field with which we can work. There is a general feeling of responsibility.

I shall try to adjust through you to the light bridge. Ask your co-workers for video pictures of the equipment! I shall attempt to enjoin the participants positively in their thoughts. At the time of contact seven higher beings will be present in the hall. One of them is in contact with the medium Mr Zoennchen. Another being is guiding the contacts of the Group Homes/Malkhoff in Rivenich… The Technician is one of the seven entities. They are depending on the harmonic cooperation of all humans. Their main technical sources of help will be the Light.

While you make the introduction I shall try to orient to you by your voice. During the experiment all doors should remain closed. Ask the audience not to use any photo flashes. There is a danger that the energy field may collapse. Regular picture taking or audio and video recording are allowed.

After a successful spirit contact at the Bad Muenstereifel conference, Swejen reported to Maggy by phone:

We made the same efforts that you made in your cooperation…. The harmony was great and contributed very much to accomplishing the contact. There was joy and satisfaction but also confusion. There was tension and stress while operating the equipment. A total of 57 transmission attempts through space and time were made! Only two arrived, one of them distorted, the other one was clearer. We do not know the exact outcome and hope at least a few sentences could be understood.

Heli Schaefer on our side tried to harmonize the spirit groups involved. We had a few complaints about some technical steps on your side which proved more of a handicap than a help. Do not forget the people here have only one advantage that you don’t have: They have crossed the threshold of eternity, while otherwise they are still very much like they were on earth. Some of them feel too much is expected of them during this period of bridge-building. Of course we do not suffer from exhaustion as you do, but we know the feeling of not getting any rest because so much remains to be done.

Interesting article in the NY Times this past week… about science, zombies, and consciousness, written by a  philosophy professor at Notre Dame university.

It’s more a philosophical essay than a scientific analysis, but it explains the dilemma involved in trying to fit mind and spirit into the modern scientific model.

Read here “Mary and the Zombies: Can Science Explain Consciousness?”

The essay, like science, looks at consciousness from the eyes of an objective outside observer… which could present an obstacle to understanding the mind.

I think we can get a much clearer understanding of consciousness through more subjective, more personal experiences such as meditation.

The more we learn through inner exploration, the more we move toward the Eastern  philosophy (and I’m talking way east of Notre Dame) that what really exists within consciousness (what people like me call “spirit” or “soul”) is the true reality… and that the material reality that we experience through the five physical senses here on Earth is the illusion, the “maya.”

Modern science, then, becomes little more than a concerted effort to measure maya… and to spin modern-day epicycles while trying to fit the grander picture of consciousness (spirit) into the constrained Newtonian model.

Hope that make sense!

(Politics and the Human Spirit – Installment 13)

You may have noticed that here in the USA there have been no wars between the states since 1865, when the Civil War came to an end and locked us firmly into a Union. There’s still plenty of bickering among states… and grumpy little groups threaten to secede from time to time… (dissatisfaction is part of the noble-savage character) but we no longer go to war over states’ rights. A strong federal government provides a reasonably stable umbrella of apprehensive peace among us Americans.

A lasting peace of this kind—semi-stable, semi-strained—is about the best we can ever hope to achieve as carnal humans here on Earth… given our egos, our hormones, and our fight-or-flight neurochemistries.

Our steadfast soul shines brightly at the center of our being, working nonstop… anchoring us solidly in love and good will. But our physical body is hard-wired for fear, suspicion, and conflict… and yanks endlessly at the anchor chain like an angry dog.

Because of the noble-savage battle raging endlessly inside us, a “shocks-n-springs” sort of peace is about the best that any “peaceful” nation can hope to sustain.

Our noble-savage human nature is like the shocks-and-springs assemblies on modern cars and motorcycles. The springs let the vehicle bounce over rough roads without getting jostled to pieces, while the shock absorbers keep the vehicle from springing out of control. Our savage concoctions of hormones and fists and weapons help us survive the rough rides of Planet Earth (like springs), and our noble side—the finer spirit within—keeps us from churning out of control (like shock absorbers).

Our noble-savage human nature is like the shocks-and-springs assemblies on modern cars and motorcycles. The springs let the vehicle bounce over rough roads without getting jostled to pieces, while the shock absorbers keep the vehicle from springing out of control. Our savage concoctions of hormones and fists and weapons help us survive the rough rides of Planet Earth (like springs), and our noble side—the finer spirit within—keeps us from churning out of control (like shock absorbers).

That same sort of “shocks-n-springs” peace that sustains itself in peaceful modern nations… will not prevail worldwide… among all nations and races and religions and multinational corporations… until humanity has forged a union of mankind under the umbrella of a strong world government… probably an empowered United Nations.

Once Planet Earth has an umbrella of a stable world government… only then will humanity achieve any measure of world peace. Only then will wars among nations become a thing of the past.

Meanwhile, there are things we can do in the short term (measured in years and decades) to keep world society from springing out of control… and there are things we can do in the long term to make life on Earth a smoother ride… to make the world and human beings safer and more peaceful… as we guide our evolution toward a paradise destiny.

Short-Term Solutions

This Politics and the Human Spirit series has explored a few of the things we can do in the short term to make the world a safer, happier place:

The Most Critical Situation Today

I’d like to add one item to the list… a critical situation that could darken the fate of the United States in the near future… which could then shift the world onto a more savage course.

There’s a small but powerful, wealthy, and egocentric contingent here in the States associated with the Koch brothers, Karl Rove, and Fox News… who seem to want  political power at any cost. The groups involved seem to be motivated largely by fear, mistrust, misinformation, and xenophobia… obsessing over a strong military, gun ownership, immigration policy, and other paranoia-related issues.

To manifest their savage agenda, a network of fraud-prone, computerized voting machines has been put in place in several key states to flip national elections in favor of the conspirators. Those cheat-easy voting machines brought the Bush Administration into power, leading to the current upheaval in the Middle East. If they’re not disabled, they could usher America and the world much deeper into a dark and troubled era.

Read more about the amazing election-fraud drama unfolding in the USA…

So… I’d add this bullet item to the list:

  • Ensure honesty and integrity in the way we humans choose our leaders. If elections are used to select leaders (as opposed to managerial consensus as in places like China), control election integrity at the appropriate level, within the framework set up by higher levels. Most important in this case:  National elections need to be managed, monitored, and guaranteed at the national level… NOT at the state or provincial level… where there is much greater opportunity for cheating.

Those cheat-easy voting machines sitting ominously in Ohio, Virginia, Florida, and other key states… waiting to steal the next US presidential election… comprise (imho) the most critical and potentially destructive condition in the world today. If unstopped they will lead America and the world down a very dark, savage road this century… beginning as early as 2016.

Foster Nobility!

One theme runs through this series of articles like a thread, pulling everything together… and that is the fact that we’re noble-savage creatures on a noble mission to spread peace, love, and good will on Earth… but our savage side keeps getting in the way.

That has to be the closing note for this series: To fulfill our mission, we have to foster our noble qualities and to tame our savage side… and we have to do it at all levels of human affairs.

Fostering nobility at the personal level can move us toward inner peace and happy relationships.

Fostering nobility at the planetary level can move us toward contented societies and world peace.

Separating the Noble from the Savage

First we need a good understanding of our noble-savage nature… what it means to be noble… what it means to be savage.

“Noble,” as defined in my work, refers to the finer spiritual part of us that’s driven by love, trust, good will, and the desire to serve others selflessly.

“Savage” refers to carnal human qualities that help us survive in a rather savage world where life kills life to survive. Our worst savage qualities compel us to be fearful, suspicious, contemptuous, and aggressive.

We also have a lot of benign savage qualities that give us basic survival skills in a carnal world. Breathing, eating, procreating (sex), and healing from sickness and injury… these are all savage human qualities.

The best way to distinguish between the noble and the savage is to answer a simple question:

What qualities are present in the afterlife paradise worlds of light?

Those are noble human qualities: Love, trust, good will, desire to serve others selflessly…. Those qualities form our noble core as human beings.

Most of our other qualities were hard-wired into our carnal compositions long, long ago so that we could survive through hostile eras on Earth. List all of those qualities that help us survive the rigors of life on Earth, and you’ve got a snapshot of our savage side.

No Such Thing as a Noble War

There can’t be a “noble war” because conflict of any kind is savage… period. No exceptions. Even a debate or difference of opinion is savage.

Noble thoughts, noble words, and noble actions resonate in human affairs.

Savage thoughts, words, and actions cause dissonance.

Because of the savage qualities of life on Earth, war might sometimes be justifiable… even necessary… but it’s never noble.  War is always savage.

We need to stop romanticizing savage human behavior if it blurs the lines between noble and savage. Know savage behavior for what it is and accept it as part of our carnal make-up… but don’t think there’s anything noble or highly spiritual associated with it. There isn’t.

Basically, we have to do savage things to survive in a savage world… but the more we do that, the more difficulties we’ll have later on… as we try to get settled into a light afterlife paradise after we die and leave the Earth. If we attach ourselves too heavily to our savage qualities during our lifetime, our spirit will migrate to darker, more troubled realms after we die… where it will feel more “at home.”

It’s always best for us humans to exhibit our noble side as much as possible in our day-to-day lives. Better for those around us… better for ourselves… better for our destiny.

With that in mind, every human life and every human institution should center itself around a strong core of noble values… and those values should be manifested in the world through noble behavior.

People should know about the savage qualities of the world and the savage compulsions within them, and that education should probably begin in adolescence, when hormones start to rage.

People should understand the savage side of our human nature and know what kind and degree of savage behavior is appropriate.

Everyone and every group should maximize noble choices and noble living in the course of a day or a lifetime… resorting to savage behavior only when necessary.

I was lucky to enjoy a seven-year friendship and collaboration with Hans Heckmann. With the guidance and support of Metascience founder George Meek, Hans and I got immersed in the miraculous ITC research underway in Europe in the 1990s. All three of us received phone calls from the late Konstantin Raudive, the famous EVP pioneer who had died in 1974… and we were present on various occasions when Raudive and his spirit friends of Timestream delivered messages and images through radios, TVs, computers, and other equipment of European researchers, especially Maggy Fischbach of Luxembourg.

Hans died quietly a couple of days ago (Friday, 2013 February 15), a month before his 89th birthday.

Hans had been a German soldier during World War II, when he met and fell in love with an American nurse stationed in Europe. After the war they got married and settled in Pennsylvania. Hans would play a crucial role in world ITC in the coming years, doing much of the engineering on George’s spirit communication systems developed throughout the 1980s.

In the 1990s, the most spectacular reports of researchers in Europe were being published in German, and Hans would soon begin translating them with tremendous care and clarity into English, and in so doing would be instrumental in the spread of ITC knowledge to the Americas.

In 1992 George arranged a research trip for Hans and me. We flew to Europe to meet most of the main ITC researchers at a conference in Dusseldorf… and afterward drove through Germany and Luxembourg to visit researchers in their homes and labs.

On May 4, as we entered the Cercle d’Etudes sur la Transcommunication – Luxembourg (CETL) lab in downtown Luxembourg we were greeted by a text message on a computer screen that had been received the previous day:

STATION FEEDBACK. GROUP OF SCIENTISTS. THIS IS HENRI SAINTE CLAIRE DEVILLE. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO JOIN COMMON EFFORTS OF (spirit groups) TIMESTREAM AND CENTRAL TO MAKE SUCCESSFUL CONTACT ON SATURDAY. PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THIS ADDRESS. IT IS MERELY A PROBLEM OF ENERGY AND FREQUENCY. YOU WILL HAVE TO CHANGE A SMALL PART OF YOUR DEVICE. WE WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED OF THE APPARATUS NEEDED.

MY SPECIAL GREETINGS TO HANS HECKMANN AND MARK MACY.

I LEFT PROJECT LIFELINE A FEW YEARS AGO AND AM NOW A MEMBER OF THIS NEW GROUP OF SCIENTISTS. WE ARE WORKING UNDER THE DIRECTION OF MARIE CURIE. GIVE OUR GREETINGS TO GEORGE (Meek). MAY 3, 1992.

Hans and I also visited with experimenter Friedrich Malkhoff at his home in Schweich, Germany… who shared with us the results of various German ITC researchers, including Adolf Homes and Hans-Otto Koenig.

I took this picture of Hans (left) taking a picture of a TV transcontact during our trip to Europe. It’s an image of Doc Mueller (the spirit who had spoken through the Spiricom device of George Meek and Bill O’Neil, circa 1980, but who now was resonant with German researcher Adolf Homes, who had captured this image on his TV set). Homes’ colleague Fritz Malkhoff is in the yellow shirt, sharing the picture with us at his home in Schweich.

Read Hans’s trip report here, starting on p18.

A couple of years later I was again visiting the Luxembourg researchers when Konstantin Raudive delivered a long message through the radio sounds, in which the Timestream spirit group acknowledged Hans for his good work in ITC.

Listen to an excerpt of that radio contact while reading the following transcript:

Finally, last but not least, Mark Macy. My dear friend, we bring our greetings to Colleague Meek and the Uphoffs. Also to Hans Heckmann with whom he realizes a beautiful job to spread ITC information. You know by experience, Mark, how dangerous drugs of all kinds can be. Try to warn humanity that they not only alter their present lives on your side, but also influence in a negative way their future lives. Go on with your experiences and you will see that the bridge to the States will soon be strengthened. Regina as your twin soul can help you a lot. Listen to her inner voice and you will be in the right way.

Hans’s background (adapted from a Carlson Center bio given to me by his granddaughter Tanya Dapkey). Hans Josef Heckmann was born an only child in Heidelberg, Germany, on March 26, 1924. He enjoyed swimming in the Neckar River, hiking in the Black Forest, and dropping by the grocery store owned by his grandparents, who always gave him a treat.

At age 14 he joined the compulsory Hitler Youth Movement, and was later drafted into the German army during World War II. He was seriously wounded and captured at the Russian front, and spent two years in a prison camp.

After the war, the US government hired Hans as a teletype operator in Heidelberg, where he met his wife, Rita, a US Army nurse. Hans was studying English, Rita was learning German, and their language teacher arranged for them to meet. They married in Heidelberg in September, 1950, and honeymooned in Austria.

They settled in Philadelphia, had four daughters, and moved to East Lansdowne in 1959. Hans became a naturalized US citizen and took a job as a professional studio photographer. Then he worked until retirement as a teletype operator on the Pennsylvania Railroad, which later became Conrail.

His pastimes included photography, electronics, and listening to classical music. In his later years, he was drawn to spiritual research and translated German documents into English for various afterlife projects.

It was during those later years when his path crossed with mine, and we became immersed together in ITC research… which is slowly changing the world in a most wonderful way… as indicated by the rich archives of ITC Gems published on this site… most of which were translated carefully from German by my trusted friend and dedicated colleague Hans Heckmann.

I’m going to write a series of articles about the movie Nosso Lar that was subject of my last article. I’d like to explore in more detail some of the movie’s many vital truths, and a few items that may need some clarification, starting with the overall structure of the spirit worlds as depicted in the movie.

(I still plan to write a closing article for the politics series, but this one seems a bit more important, and maybe more urgent.)

The stark dichotomy portrayed in the movie—the dark, hellish place and the light paradise place—shows just a glimpse of a tiny portion of the spirit worlds that involve humanity… and it could be troubling and frightening to many people who view the movie… that when they die they’ll end up either in paradise or sludgeland. Doesn’t leave many options.

In reality it’s a lot more complicated than that. I know from my research and personal experiences (especially my many memorable, often strange dreams) that between the dark, hellish worlds and the bright and beautiful paradise worlds there are many worlds in shades of gray and subdued colors… worlds or communities much like the Earth communities where people’s emotional imbalances are rampant but fairly harmless. Most people in these mid-level astral worlds live in homes with joys and sorrows… clarity and confusion similar to what we have here on Earth. They haven’t found the inner peace and bliss of “Nosso Lar,” nor are they trapped in misery. I’ve visited many such communities in my dreams.

Spirit bodies are free of injury and disease, just as they are in paradise… although they can become a little decrepit looking from the confusion, anxieties, and fears of the people inhabiting those grayish realms. People in those grayish realms just don’t look as happy and at peace as they do in the paradise worlds. Nor are they as tortured and lost as they are in those dark, dismal places depicted in the Nosso Lar movie.

Sometimes I feel welcome during my visits to those mid-level regions, and sometimes people are a little wary of my presence, aware than I’m just passing through from an Earth-dream… and therefore liable to be a little unpredictable in my thoughts and actions.

I’ve visited those realms often in my dreams… suggesting to me that my service work once I cross over may have something to do with helping out in those places. That’s certainly not the afterlife I’d choose for myself—I’d much rather move far away from the troubles of Earth into brilliant realms of light—but I doubt if I’ll be so lucky. I think those brilliant afterlife getaways are earmarked for the gentle souls whose lifetimes have spread a lot of love and gratitude and generosity around society without causing very many problems by harboring fears and animosities and jealousies and lusts toward other people.

Looking over my lifetime, I’ve been a decent guy as a rule, but I’ve also harbored unsettling emotions toward various types of people who annoy me or frighten me or arouse me sexually or, most of all, outrage me. It’s those emotions that’ll probably keep me caught up in the cycle of earthly living for awhile.

I will probably … hopefully… settle into a paradise setting after I die, but I’ll have to do some kind of service work to help compensate for the troubles I inadvertently stirred up on Earth during this lifetime. I may have to reincarnate again to see if I can live a cleaner, gentler life next go-around. I definitely don’t want to go through any more lifetimes on Earth… not consciously… but maybe at some spiritual level I’ll see the need after I’ve gotten settled in on the other side.

Anyway, this is all speculation, and, as our spirit friends at Timestream told us on various occasions in various ways, any expectations we have about our own personal afterlife destiny are bound to fall far short of reality.

So I’ll take this opportunity to explain, according to what I’ve learned from my research, how the two Nosso Lar realms probably fit into the bigger picture of spiritual reality.

This is what I know to be true, based on ITC messages from The Seven ethereals: There was once a physical world Marduk (Eden) that was destroyed long, long ago by super technologies of its superhuman inhabitants. We on Earth are descended from those superhumans. Hence the ancient religious stories that we came from Eden. There is also a spirit-world Marduk (Eden) where many people on Earth awaken after they die. Hence the religious afterlife stories about heaven and hell and purgatory.

I also know from my research that many material things have spiritual templates, and those templates exist in spiritual realms that are templates of the material realm we live in. Our physical bodies have spirit-body templates that flourish in spiritual realms. Rocks, trees, and buildings in this earthly realm also have spiritual templates that exist in spirit realms. Entire planets have spiritual templates… which is why the spirit world Marduk (Eden) continues to exist since the destruction of the physical planet.

Our material planet Earth also has spiritual templates that exist in spirit realms, superimposed over the physical world… and those, I believe, are what the Nosso Lar movie is trying to depict. I’m sure there are dark, sludgy places among the earth templates that are similar to the one shown in the movie. But there also a lot of the earth-like spirit communities I described above… grayish with subdued colors… not real heavenly and not real hellish… and these mid-level communities were not shown in the movie.

Most intriguing to me is the idea of paradise outposts scattered here and there around the Earth, in subtle realms superimposed over our physical realm… like the actual Nosso Lar  community which was the subject of the movie.

It makes sense to me that such paradise outposts would be maintained and protected by ethereal beings who are involved in a project to help lift humanity out of its darkness. It makes sense that many people arrive in those outposts after they die, and they find it their calling to do mission work into the darkest places to help “redeem” those lost souls who are ready to find the light… all of which is portrayed beautifully in the movie

I’m just saying… Nosso Lar is a wonderful, beautiful movie… but it just shows a small part of the bigger picture… and it’s that bigger picture that I hope to start piecing together with this new series of articles based on the movie.

Stay tuned….
