Faces in the Mist 6: Afterword About Fear

Posted in About Mark Macy, After we die, what then?, Heaven and Earth, Inner exploration, ITC, Other-worldly matters, Our ancient heritage, Spiritual realms, Worldly matters, tagged , , on 2012 May 10 | 7 Comments »

I think that when most people look at my spirit face photos they feel a little fear… a foreboding. Not a big fear, just a pervasive sense that… well, something’s not right.

… me ‘n my late pop :-)

If these really are spirits that are showing up (and I’m certain that they are), most people don’t want to know about it… because there’s something just not right about it.

I’ve come to realize that, indeed, something’s not right with the spirit face photos specifically… and with other such glimpses into the “paranormal” in general—ghost videos, EVPs, investigations into hauntings and spirit possession….

That’s what we’ll explore in this article—what’s not right with our forays into the realms of spirit—but first let’s explore the substance of our fears.

A Word About Fear

Fear can be debilitating. Moderate levels of anxiety can make restlessness and dissatisfaction a way of life.

Read more about the effects of anxiety and fear

In extreme cases, toxic fear can bring out the worst in us humans.

  • Some people become religious zealots who hate the world in the name of God. (example)
  • Others become crusaders who attack the reputations of good people. (example)

In the latter case, the attack is against honest, hard-working researchers who did their best and got exceptional results—George Meek, Adolf Holmes, and Maggy Fischbach. I worked closely with them in the 1990s. Though I never met Holmes personally, we corresponded on various occasions, both directly and through our mutual friend and colleague, physics professor Dr Ernst Senkowski. I considered myself a good friend of Meek and Maggy for a time… until fear entered the picture and eroded the relationships.

A story in itself….

In any case, human fears of all kinds stir up mistrust and mayhem in the world.

So let’s look at the root of fear. Some experts try to boil fears down into several basic types or classifications.

Read more about the types of fear

The Root of Human Fear

I tend to believe that all human fears trace back to our fear of death. As we get caught up in the illusion of material living and forget our eternal nature, we harbor a general sense of insecurity that spins off into all sorts of troubled emotions.

Read more on the fear of death…

In Your Face

I think one reason we humans fear death is the unsavory nature of what I’ve lately been calling the “shadow world” that covers our planet like a dark spiritual cloud… the source of ghosts, hauntings, spirit possession, and other spooky stuff.

The shadow world is the spirit realm closest to us in spiritual vibration, so it can be a little scary when we get a glimpse into it, especially when it’s right there before our eyes in an up-close-and-personal kind of way… like the spirit face photos.

I’ve also called it the “dismal realm” or the “quantum realm,” and it’s long been referred to by others as purgatory or the lower astral planes…

… and it’s that shadow world or dismal realm where things are definitely “not right.”

The shadow world, our fear of death, the illusion of material living… it all goes back to the proverbial fall of man. It happened in Atlantis, when humans were genetically modified into the noble-savage creatures we are today, falling into the cycle of life, death and perpetual conflict here on Earth.

Before Atlantis, our superhuman ancestors were truly noble beings who moved easily among dimensions, lived for many thousands of years, and provided wise stewardship to the planet.

Since Atlantis, humans are short-lived, short-fused, animalistic creatures with dreams of Titans.

So the downfall of Atlantis was caused by the wholesale downgrade of humanity to a demi-savage state… and that was the true fall of man.

Read more about Atlantis

Read more on the fall of man…

After Atlantis, human life on Earth became a difficult marriage of love and fear. We evolved as timeless, finer spiritual beings trapped in short-lived carnal bodies driven largely by our egos and hormones.

Over the millennia, our troubled thought-forms swirled off the Earth… in-beyond… to form the shadow world of spirit that surrounds our planet. It’s a bizarre world woven together from the roller-coaster of human thoughts, emotions, and motivations.

When we get a glimpse of life in the shadow world, it ignites some deep-seated spiritual memories of the fall of man… troubled memories that humanity has tried to forget by trying to forge a noble life in a savage world… constructing lavish civilizations in a vain attempt to carve paradise into a perilous world of predators… predators of human as well as nonhuman persuasion.

The endless human dramas that play out on Earth all become a part of the shadow world—that dark and dynamic spiritual residue of human life on Earth… residue that builds up around our world like an invisible storm cloud.

So that’s the REAL source of human fear: our noble-savage heritage and the spiritual residue that it’s formed across the millennia.

And that’s what feels wrong to us as we glance at the spirit face photos or hear bumps in the night: The ancient engineering of noble humans for life in a savage world, and the resulting spiritual residue.

TRANSCENDING THE FEAR

There’s only one way to really overcome human fear in a lasting, comprehensive way… one way to find deep inner peace and happiness while living on Earth as a human being.

The one and only way to transcend fear on Earth is to return to our spiritual roots—to acknowledge our spiritual composition and to take steps to move our self… from the conscious clutter of our brain, to that place of peace within that has never been disturbed.

There are many practices that can move us in that direction—yoga, prayer, meditation, mind control, breathing exercises….

Heart Meditation

I’ve tried all of these and more… and by far my favorite technique is heart meditation. It’s easy, effective, and energizing, and it transforms my mind to a realm of love and peace. It carries me away from the fear instantly… away from the shadowy residue.

All you do is sit or lie in a comfortable position, relax, and move your awareness from the head to the heart… so that it feels like you’re thinking from the chest. Then miracles happen.

Lately I’ve added a couple of new elements to my heart meditations, which I’ll share in my next article.

Faces in the Mist 5: Visits from Beyond

Posted in About Mark Macy, After we die, what then?, ITC, Other-worldly matters, Our ancient heritage, Our paradise destiny, Society and ethics, Spiritual realms, tagged , , , , , on 2012 May 3 | 6 Comments »

(In this closing article of this series I explain, to the best of my knowledge, where the spirit faces come from when they’re caught on Polaroid film in the presence of the luminator.  MM)

Nearly everyone who dies on Earth resumes life in an astral body, which is a subtle template of their physical body… and that astral body/mind awakens in some kind of astral surroundings:

  • French author Jules Verne awakened in a lavish temple after his death. Read more
  • English explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton woke up in an Arabian community. Read more
  • German soldier Arthur Moos died violently in World War II and was lost and confused for awhile, stuck near Earth, before being “light-modulated” to paradise. Read more
  • German Edith Schoenheid awakened on a tropic isle. Read more (page 12)
  • Jeannette Meek (wife of American ITC pioneer George Meek) and various other people from various eras and cultures awakened in Marduk (Eden) after they died and sent pictures of their new world to ITC researchers on Earth. Read more
  • Scott Joplin got settled into Eden, befriended Jeannette Meek, and participated in a phone call to researchers on Earth. Read more

These are just a few of the many afterlife experiences reported first-hand by spirit friends of ITC researchers in recent years. All of these folks eventually wound up in a conglomerate astral paradise called Marduk, or Eden.

As I’ve stated elsewhere, I’m 100 percent convinced of the legitimacy of those contacts.

After years of contemplation, I’ve come to believe that the spirit world Marduk is an astral template of the physical planet Eden (Marduk) that circled our sun in an orbit between Mars and Jupiter up until some 4 billion years ago, when it erupted in a massive explosion. All that has remained of Eden since the explosion are 1) the countless asteroids and debris that have been ravaging our solar system ever since… and 2) the astral paradise Eden that continues to flourish with life in an astral universe that’s superimposed over our physical universe.

All material things, including planets, have spirit bodies superimposed imperceptibly over their material bodies. During an ITC phone dialog in 1992, our spirit friends told researcher Maggy Fischbach about a “shadow world” of the Earth inhabited by spirits, many of them confused, who interact with our world in strange ways, just beyond the perception of our senses and sciences. Crop circles apparently come from the shadow world of Earth, as do most of the strange spirit phenomena we hear about or see on youtube… including a lot of EVP voices captured with recording devices.

Read more about Earth’s shadow world

Even though our spirit friends told us they don’t consider the shadow world to be a spirit world like Eden, and although they have a difficult time explaining to us exactly what it is, I’ve come to believe that it is indeed an astral template of Earth… just as the astral Eden is an astral template of the late planet Eden.

I’ve come to believe that life experiences in the spirit-world Eden are similar to what life on the physical world Eden was like 4 billion years ago… a veritable paradise.

Likewise, conditions in the shadow world of Earth are much like life on Earth today. For every physical rock or tree or building on Earth there is an astral rock or tree or building in that shadow world. Every one of us living humans has an astral body that’s active, at least part of the time (especially when our physical body is sleeping), in that astral shadow world. Most of our dreams take place there.

As we might surmise from the nature of our dreams, the shadow world of Earth is a rather strange and confused place, reflecting the conscious and unconscious thoughts of people living on Earth, and of those who take their confused thoughts with them either when visiting during dreamtime or moving there after death.

When people die and shed their physical bodies, their astral bodies live on… usually in either the astral Eden or the astral Earth (the shadow world). People generally wake up in Eden if during lifetime they were aware of and comfortable with the reality of an afterlife, and were generally happy and harbored good will toward others. Those people wind up in paradise.

People who believe that death is the end… people who harbor ill will toward others or habitually harm other living things, especially animals and children… most of these people awaken in the shadow world of Earth, often confused and unaware that they’ve died.

When people have near-death experiences of going through a tunnel to a place of light and love, then returning to Earth, I believe it’s Eden they’ve visited. Our spirit friends in Eden have told us they sometimes travel to Earth on ITC projects by moving through a tunnel “with walls that pulse in rainbow colors.”

I suspect the superhuman inhabitants of the material planet Eden long ago traveled to other worlds such as Earth via portals, which would involve going through a doorway in one world, speeding through a multidimensional tunnel, and stepping into a doorway in another world.

I further suspect that the tunnels that people experience during NDEs and after dying, are astral templates of those portals used long ago to travel between Eden and Earth.

The Spirit Face Photos

Regina and me with spirit faces, during spontaneous photo shoots in my ITC lab.

I’ve come to realize that most of the spirit face photos I captured on Polaroid film over the years were the faces of spirits inhabiting the shadow world of Earth… people in spirit who have not moved very far from Earth since their death.

People in the shadow world move in and out of our world frequently… as ghosts, apparitions, and spooks. Some of them were drawn to the photo sessions and showed up on film.

Some of the spirit face photos, however, were from Eden. I’m fairly certain of that.

Our spirit friends have told us that during ITC contacts, they send a team from the Timestream sending station on Marduk (Eden) to travel through a tunnel to Earth, where they work on the equipment of ITC researchers in order get information to us in the form of computer text, computer images, TV images, telephone conversations, long radio messages, and so on.

I’m confident that there were many occasions when my ITC spirit friends visited me (from Eden) either in my lab or during special conferences, in order to show up in the pictures.

So, to conclude this series, I’m comfortable in stating that nearly all of the spirit faces I got on film with the help of the luminator came either from the shadow world of Earth or from Eden.

Most of the spontaneous photo shoots in the lab involving friends or family probably involved interested spirits in the shadow world.

During special events—including meetings of my ITC research group in the lab, visits by television crews, and conferences I attended—I’m sure that my spirit team from Eden was often there helping out.

And for that I am profoundly grateful. They worked extremely hard during the years I was actively involved in various ITC experiments.

Hopefully this series of articles has shed some light on how ITC experiments happen, especially my spirit face photography.

Faces in the Mist 4: Deafening Silence

Posted in About Mark Macy, After we die, what then?, Heaven and Earth, Inner exploration, ITC, Other-worldly matters, tagged , , on 2012 April 15 | 14 Comments »

Sorry it’s taking so long to finish this short series… but I’ve been baffled… trying to figure things out.

These Polaroid photos of spirit faces are some of the most amazing and important phenomena of the past century, yet they seem to draw little interest. They clearly show the faces of invisibles—spirits—intimately enmeshed in our world, in close interaction with us carnal humans. They provide some of the best physical evidence to date of nonphysical existence!… evidence that blows away the spiritual blinders of materialistic science!!… but no one cares.* And that’s baffling.

(* When I say “no one,” of course I mean no one outside a small circle of seekers and supporters who’ve followed the work closely and know it’s legitimate.)

-

Hm, do people really not care… or could there be some other reason why the general reaction to the pictures is… well, dead silence?

That’s what I’ve been ruminating about for more than a decade, especially over the past month… and particularly the past few days as I try to complete this series of articles.

And I’ve come up with some possible reasons why the pictures are generally ignored.

First of all, people who don’t know me and are unfamiliar with my work probably assume these photos are faked… photo-shopped. And that’s understandable. If I were to see these pictures for the first time, with no background knowledge of the research behind them, I’d probably assume it was all a hoax unless I could be convinced otherwise. After all, thousands of hoaxes can be found on the Internet. Why not this?

So let’s zoom in a bit to consider people who are intrigued enough by the pictures to dig a little deeper. They study the vast, serious, and credible results of ITC on our www.worlditc.org website… and their gut feeling begins to tell them that these are genuine Polaroid photos that clearly seem to capture nonphysical human (spirit) faces showing up with physical human faces on film.

I know there are many people like that out there. We’ve had hundreds of thousands of visitors to our website over the years… and it’s inevitable that visitors leave that site, after exploring it in some depth, with the realization that something unusual and something real is going on in ITC.

I’m fairly confident that those people have a sense that there’s a legitimate basis for these spirit face photos, but even from them there’s a complete silence about the pictures.

An acquaintance of mine, Dan Drasin—a bright, serious filmmaker from California—accompanied me to a workshop I hosted at the Wainwright House in New York, and he captured the event on film as I got some excellent results… including the picture at the far right in the above collage… the picture of a woman whose late son was present that night in spirit and showed up with his mom on film.

Even Dan apparently hasn’t figured out how to reconcile the spirit faces. He’s worked on afterlife documentaries since my workshop, but the photos from that evening have not been included.

For me, the spirit face phenomenon is an eye-popper, and it’s hard to understand why people who know it’s for real aren’t shouting it from the rooftops!

Well, I’ve come up with several possible reasons for that.

Or maybe what I’ve come up with is just several different ways of looking at one single reason… one important reason that rests at the core of our being.

In any case, here’s what I think might be happening. (And I’m not talking now about Dan so much as the many other people from various walks of life who have dug into the phenomenon deeply enough to know that something real is going on here… but still they remain quiet.)

First, many of the pictures are indeed vague and blurry, and it’s easy for the skeptical mind to shrug them all off as the result of camera motion… to toss out the pearls (the pictures that clearly have distinct, different faces in them) with the oyster shells, as minds fettered by dogma (be it religious or scientific dogma, or any other form of rigid thinking) tend to do.

Second is the boggle factor. We all have our own unique mental model of reality, forged by the information streaming into our five senses. We take the things we see and hear, and the things we learn from school and church and science and the media… and we patch it all together into an inner roadmap of the world.

It’s a dynamic roadmap, but only to an extent. As new information streams into our mind everyday, we try to redraw the roadmap accordingly. But if certain new information is too radical… if the model would have to be broken and rebuilt to accommodate it, then the mind becomes boggled. The thought of breaking the model is scary, so our mind snaps shut. It rejects all of the new, threatening information, even if it’s accompanied by good, solid evidence… even indisputable proof!

The boggle factor.

Third, the pictures are just plain spooky, and we humans shy away from spooky stuff… especially when it’s up close and personal, like these spirit face photos.

I’m not sure if these are three different reasons why people might ignore strange phenomena like this, or if they’re three different situations relating to the same basic reason… fear.

I suspect the latter.

So I’m going to continue this series to explore the nature of our fear of the unknown, to see if I can uncover the source of that fear and ways to overcome it.

Stay tuned!…

Faces in the Mist 3: Amazement in the Basement

Posted in About Mark Macy, After we die, what then?, ITC, Other-worldly matters, Spiritual realms, tagged , , , on 2012 April 7 | 4 Comments »

As you might imagine, after buying the luminator in 1999 and setting it up in my basement lab, I took so many pictures in the first few months… you’d think I’d gone paparazzi. When friends and relatives visited, I raved about this new gadget and the amazing spirit faces that showed up on film… and invited them down to the lab for photos.

The black, tower-shaped luminator in my lab.

A few of them were intrigued and eager, a few others were creeped out and wanted nothing to do with it… but I’m sure most of them obliged just because of my enthusiasm. Most of those pictures of friends I let them keep, so I don’t have them in my files.

However, wife Regina and I took a lot of pictures of each other, and those are among the pictures I’m posting in this article, again, with a brief comment below each one. (A couple of the pictures of me were taken at The Monroe Institute during one of my workshops there.)

A few of the many spirit face Polaroids my wife and I took after acquiring the luminator in 1999. (click to enlarge)

If you look closely, half of my face (right) is replaced by a spirit face peering out to the side. I think it’s my late father, Blair Macy. He was mostly bald, like the guy in this picture.

Here’s the face looking off to the side… not real clear, but you get the idea. Compare it with the lifetime picture of my dad.

In this picture, my face is completely replaced by someone else.

In this picture there’s a light anomaly at the top of my head, and a face of a spirit (maybe a native American artist I knew in lifetime named Gene Standing Bear) is there with me.

This, I think, is my father’s face offset on the right of my face.

The right-hand face in this picture I believe to be Willis Harman, late president of the Institute of Noetic Science, who our spirit friends told us was working with my ITC group since his death. You can compare with his lifetime picture (inset).

Here’s Regina to compare against the spirit faces in the pictures below.

Regina is the upper face in this picture, while the more prominent face belongs to her late father, John Hoys (compare with John’s lifetime picture, inset).

Again, Regina’s dad, John Hoys, replaced most of her face in this picture.

Regina is the pretty half-face on the left of this picture, and the swarthy fellow making up the right half of the face is unidentified.

Two or three spirit faces showed up in this picture, and we’re not sure which face, if any, is Regina.

The lower part of Regina’s face is replaced by an unidentified fellow.

And this is one of the most bizarre pictures we took. Regina was holding our black-and-white cat Sebastian, and a fellow with extreme puffy cheeks showed up for the picture. You can see the upper portion of Regina’s face, and the lower half of the spirit face, from about the center of his nose to the bottom of his chin. Very strange.

With the next post I plan to wrap up this series with an examination of where these faces most likely come from and how they manifest on film.  MM

Faces in the Mist 2: New York

Posted in About Mark Macy, After we die, what then?, Heaven and Earth, ITC, Other-worldly matters, tagged , on 2012 March 28 | 9 Comments »

Here’s the second batch of spirit face photos pulled from my archives… these from New York. They were taken at the Wainwright House in Rye (events in 2001 and 2002) and at the Edgar Cayce ARE Center in Manhattan (2004).

Again, I’ll start with what I consider some of the best examples of those pictures. You may have seen some of them in my books and websites.

Samples at:

Classic Spirit Face Photos

Debbie Alberti felt that she and her husband John were soulmates. She was a jazz singer in the tri-state area (NY-PA-NJ), and John, a drummer, was leader of the band. When he died of massive heart failure during a tennis match, Debbie was devastated.

I took several pictures of Debbie when she attended my ARE workshop, and John appeared miraculously in one of them… along with a surprise appearance (in the same photo) by who I think is the late Edgar Cayce.

Debbie and John, Lifetime

Debbie at the ARE Center

Debbie with Spirit Face(s)

Highlighted Close-Up

How our spirit friends do things like this—creating a collage of two distinct faces to be caught on film—I still haven’t figured out.

That’s John… the face on the left.

And the face on the right, I believe belongs to the late Edgar Cayce. After all, it was his New York center where we had the workshop.

Edgar Cayce in lifetime (photo courtesy of the Edgar Cayce Foundation)

More about Edgar Cayce:

One of my favorite photo subjects was Meme, a highly sensitive young woman who introduced herself at the same workshop. Her picture became the cover of a book.

Meme at the ARE Center

Meme with two spirit faces replacing hers.

Tianna had recently lost William, the love of her life, to illness. I took several pictures of her during my workshop, and William showed up clearly in one.

Tianna alone (left) and with William’s face replacing hers (right).

William in lifetime.

Here are some of the other interesting photos taken in New York, with a brief comment under each.

Some people, such as Lisa, seemed especially receptive to spiritual influences while I was taking pictures. I didn’t get a clear picture of her because so many spirits were trying to show themselves. In these two, she sees her father’s face in the picture on the left… and the fellow superimposed over her face in the right-hand photo she doesn’t recognize.

Lisa Huston (a different Lisa), a good friend of ours, was videotaping my workshop at the ARE Center. If you look closely you can see a fellow’s face peering out from the left of her face.

“Connie” got an exceptionally clear picture of her son posing with her. Her son had died in an accident, so this picture was especially moving and meaningful to her.

These pictures of Elfie show a most interesting phenomenon that happened fairly often during these photo sessions with the luminator–a bleeding effect of the lights.

The bleeding effect also occurs on shiny silver jewelry, as in this picture of Judy.

Paula also has the light phenomenon, as well as a face trying to form over her face.

I’m hoping that by sharing this cross-section of many photos with diverse results, you’ll get a feeling for how spiritual phenomena manifested in these photos taken with the luminator.

I’ll probably do just one more of these posts of spirit faces, as they don’t seem to attract the interest I thought they might.

Then, back into more grounded topics… well, “grounded” is a relative term, right?  :-)

Faces in the Mist: 1) Colorado Springs

Posted in After we die, what then?, Heaven and Earth, Inner exploration, ITC, Other-worldly matters, Spiritual realms, tagged , , on 2012 March 18 | 8 Comments »

In the coming weeks I plan to publish dozens of strange and intriguing photos I captured over a 12-year period. The pictures were made possible by combining Polaroid (instant photograph) technology with a subtle energy device called a “luminator.”

I bought a luminator from Michigan inventor Patrick Richards in 1999 and took thousands of pictures over the years… until 2010, after Polaroid stopped making its popular 600 film. I had friends, family, and clients pose in my lab, and I hauled the luminator around the country, taking pictures at conferences and seminars.

The luminator is a tower-shaped device that houses two fans, one above and one below a plexiglass cylinder with liquid-filled rings mounted along its internal wall. The counter-rotating fans create a vortex, like a small tornado that swirls through the cylinder. The hardware and the vortex together open a portal that (apparently) allows the subtle realities around us to interact more directly with our dense material reality.

(Note: You can click on any of these pictures to see it larger in greater detail)

The rings in the cylinder contain a water-based liquid that inventor Richards programmed with intention as he designed each luminator… the way one can program a crystal.

Read more about programming crystals

The photos hint at the illusory nature of our physical world, which seems so solid and real to us… trapped as we are in the five senses. Somehow the luminator helps to break down the illusion, to give us a glimpse of the subtle realms that flourish beneath the surface of our dense reality.

Basically I would photograph a subject while the luminator was whirring nearby, and as the picture developed over several minutes, strange anomalies would usually begin to appear.

Sometimes the photos were “normal,” showing the subject clearly. But more often than not, the developed picture would be hazy, with strange light streaks and other anomalies. Sometimes unusual faces emerged from the mist… and those were the pictures of greatest interest to me, as an afterlife researcher.

My all-time favorite shows the spirit of late singer John Denver clearly in the picture.

I was invited to share my ITC research at the Celebration Metaphysical Fair on April 20, 2002, in Colorado Springs, and it was a good opportunity for something miraculous to happen because there would be two luminators present.

My friend and colleague Jack Stucki was a therapist who used a luminator in his practice in Colorado Springs. In fact, it was the spirit faces caught on Polaroid film in the course of Jack’s therapy sessions with clients that first grabbed my attention and compelled me to acquire a luminator for my own use back in 1999.

Jack joined me during the workshop that chilly day in 2002, and we put both luminators on stage, creating a powerful field of subtle energy. We took pictures of all the participants… and those are the focus of this opening article.

Joy Schilling owned the Celebration Bookstore next door to Jack Stucki’s therapy practice. When Jack and I took a picture of Joy, the face of John Denver was superimposed clearly over Joy’s face.

Also at the Celebration Fair we took a picture of Missy Rhodes, a pretty woman who (along with husband Terry) raises horses in Colorado, and whose hobbies include decorating eggs (think Fabergé eggs, not Easter eggs). When Missy’s picture developed we could only see the edge of her face (on the right), The left side was replaced by a face that I think, after a decade of pondering on that picture, belongs to the famous opera singer Marian Anderson.

MissyRhodes… with Marian Anderson?

Here are some of the other photos taken during the Fair in 2002. I decided the best way to present them is post them with a very brief description. I’m including a cropped portion of each original Polaroid, along with a light-enhanced version. As you study them you might be compelled to offer your thoughts and insights in the Comments section below. A discussion about these photos would be by far the best way to present them.

When the series is complete, my plan is to assemble them into another e-book, along with readers’ comments.

Jewelie’s picture clearly has 2 or 3 faces…

Lisa seems to have a man with her, peering off to our right.

Regina clearly has a spirit friend looking off to our left… and something interesting on the right as well.

This is Tana…

… and this is apparently a spirit fellow ‘visiting’ her during the Fair.

There were other pictures taken at the Fair that day in Colorado Springs, but these were among the most interesting.

What do you think? Spooky? Intriguing? Ho-hum? Insightful? Mind-boggling? Unbelievable?

- – -

(A big THANK YOU…  

… to all of my photo subjects who took part in these experiments and were glad to share the results through my research.

… to the spirit team working with me through the years  to build a communication bridge between our worlds… especially those later years (1999-2010) as we produced many hundreds of these photos.    - – MM)

Over the years, using the “luminator,” I photographed hundreds of people who had spirit faces “posing” with them… some of those faces seeming content and friendly, others dark and troubled… some appearing solid and “real,” others light and wispy… some posing side by side with the human face as though the two blend together, others replacing the subject altogether.

There are lots of interpretations that could be (and have been) made about the faces, most of them emerging from people’s spiritual beliefs and expectations. What a religious fundamentalist might call a demon, an agnostic or parapsychologist might call an anomaly caused perhaps by camera blur. Grieving widows might see their late husbands in the pictures, while UFO enthusiasts might see ETs.

One thing’s for certain: The human face and the other face are sharing the same space… insofar as we understand the nature of “space.”

I have my own interpretations, based on my spirit-world model (click here)… which you’re welcome to explore and consider.

Meanwhile, I’ll share some of the pictures here, along with brief comments, and you can come to your own conclusions. (Some names have been changed for matters of privacy.) First, some pictures of me. The first four were taken in my lab.

So, feel free to draw your own conclusions about the pictures. My own conclusion is that there are many invisible but strong influence exerted on us from the astral worlds… some beneficial… others harmful… and we’ll never find true peace within us nor throughout our world until we have come to understand them… which is one aim of this blog.

Learning From Past Masters

Dr Carl Wickland, wife Anna, and their Wimhurst generator.

Dr. Carl Wickland (1861-1945) was a Swedish-American physician, psychiatrist, and avid spiritualist married to a gifted medium (Anna Anderson). He was head psychiatrist at the National Psychopathic Institute in Chicago, and he worked with a small team of “abnormal psychology” specialists, including his wife Anna.

Wickland used a static electricity device called a wimhurst generator (see the picture to the left showing the Wicklands and their machine, and watch the video below of a modern wimhurst generator in action).

While treating a mentally ill (spiritually possessed) patient, Wickland held a short wand attached to the machine. With the wand, he administered a series of low-voltage electric shocks along the patient’s neck and spine.

Each shock, while uncomfortable to the patient, was excruciating to the spirit or spirits attached to the patient. Usually after a few shocks the spirit would bolt quickly from the patient’s body and be attracted to the spiritual light of Anna, who sat in the next room, in trance, and served as medium for the spirit and the treatment.  (The body of a gifted medium like Anna is like a big “Welcome” sign to a confused spirit with nowhere to go.) The spirit would come to Anna and complain of the horrible pain he’d experienced. Anna would converse with the spirit, calm him down, explain his situation (the fact that he’d died and was stuck in a lower spiritual vibration near the Earth), and eventually show him how to relax into a finer vibration in order to move out of his dark, dismal surroundings and into one of the many light paradise worlds where he (and all other deceased human spirits) belong.

In his groundbreaking book, Thirty Years Among the Dead, Wickland writes…

“Humanity is surrounded by the thought influence of millions of discarnate beings…. A recognition of this fact accounts for a great portion of unbidden thoughts, emotions, strange forebodings, gloomy moods, irritabilities, unreasonable impulses, irrational outbursts of temper, uncontrollable infatuations and countless other mental vagaries….”

Wickland learned through his research what I’ve learned through mine… that we humans are subject on a daily basis to many spiritual influences, better understanding of which can bring greater peace to our lives at all levels, from personal to global.

If you’re suffering symptoms of what could be the result of harmful spiritual influences, especially mental illness, and you want some relief, my advice is to call on the ethereals, first and foremost. They can provide comfort from the storm. These are the subtle, loving, extremely powerful beings who can make miracles happen in our world… and they can be accessed at quiet times through prayer, meditation, contemplation… even daydreams. The light they stream into our lives can facilitate the efforts of supportive astral spirits who have our best interests at heart, and they can help to protect us from the dark and dismal spirits that move, confused and troubled, in and out of our world.

The ethereals, though powerful, have their limitations, however. When our INIT members were subject to disruptive influences from both sides of the veil, the ethereals told us in 1996:

“Even if we cannot avoid the plague, we can control the gravity.”

So, the ultimate solution to the more troublesome spiritual influences on our world rests with us, on Earth. It’s our own troubled thoughts, stirred up over the millennia largely by human egos and hormones, that spin away from the Earth to create and sustain the dark and dismal pockets in the astral realm… what our spirit friends have sometimes called “shadow worlds” of the Earth.

Again, solving the problem will include an acknowledgement of the many varied spiritual influences on our world. Mental health professionals, in particular, should be aware of those invisible forces.
