Invisible truth

17 To ponder this takes a lot of practice and a certain period of time. The exploration into the spiritual realm (By Herbert Viktor Speer, from the year 1965) We give you the observations and experiences our working group has acquired during its communications with the spiritual realm, next. We hope on the one hand that we can provide support for the media and the circles and on the other side, we hope to provide more insight into SPIRITUALISM for those that have doubts and those that have no opportunity for any practical experience. During well over a thousand circle meetings, respectively séances, we have collected a copious amount of experiences. We dealt with the exploration of the other side very intensively, in as far as it stayed within the boundaries of the SPIRITUALISM of revelation and as far as our finances allowed it. We can rightly claim that we have taken a leading role in this sector. We hope that our experiences can break the ice barrier build up by academics burdened by prejudice. We reported about television in our November issue of the Menetekel periodical from 1964. Let’s go back to these experiments for a moment:  We never believed that it would be possible to record an authentic séance on television film. All the circumstances were against it. In spite of that, a genuine, non-staged contact was established. It lasted for about 30 minutes. We now know what’s important: It is certainly not any external circumstances that could prevent such an experiment, as assumed, but manly the KEY VIBRATIONS, that is to say, the overall mood of the participants and technical staff also. The television team was extraordinarily calm and collected. The medium naturally played the leading role. It didn’t allow itself to be influenced in any way by all the action around it, but placed itself at the disposal of the other side uncommonly calm and relaxed. We were mainly concerned to serve the TRUTH! The medium mentioned after the séance, that it never ever managed such serenity and that it was completely uninvolved, therefore completely passive. If the medium had displayed just the slightest interest in personally playing a part on television, it would have been enough to bring the whole house of cards tumbling down. We didn’t change our routine.  We lighted the candles  We played our usual music  We made our introductory appeal (prayer)  And on the table in front of the medium, there is always a dish with fresh water. The religious aspect was not over emphasised, but the necessary devotional mood wasn’t lacking either. The question of space is probably very important and this is why we hardly changed anything. Everything ran within the same parameters, the way we have tried and tested it a thousand times before.
