Otherworldly experiences by the departed

13 “We ask you almighty God to send us good spirits to assist us and to remove those that do not serve you and that might lead us astray. Lend us the necessary light so that we can distinguish between the truth and lies. Also remove malevolent spirits that might cause disunity amongst us by awakening envy, pride and jealousy in us. When some should try to creep in here, we beseech them to withdraw in God’s name. Good spirits, you that serve God and Christ, come to us and instruct us. Make us receptive for your doctrines. Make all personal feeling yield to thoughts for the common good. We specifically ask our guardian angels to give us their support. Amen!” This is followed by a prayer to Christ in whose name these meetings take place in conjunction with a plea for his specific protection against attacks from God’s antagonists on our otherworldly helpers and us here on this Earth. Christ is asked for help for all the needy spirit entities and for truth, clarity and protection in regards to all deceptions. If we succeed, it then takes about 10 to 30 minutes before both mediums enter a state of semi-trance and until the control spirits Stanislaus and Nepomuk announce their presence. They greet those present and then announce the planned program of the evening. Spirit beings in need of help make themselves noticeable after a more or less short period of time, mostly with a catch in their mouth, battling with language difficulties. We then try to facilitate an exchange of words with them. When this has come to an end after quite some time, the control spirits announce their presence once again to give us their assessment of the evening’s proceedings and to say good-bye. This is followed by the final prayer as a thanksgiving prayer and an invocation in conjunction with a thank-you for the protection this evening and a plea for help for those in need in the world of the here and now and the hereafter, for the sick and the hungry, for world peace and the strength to serve God. Finally: “May your sacred angels be with us so that the evil enemy cannot get a hold on us.” A jointly spoken Lord’s Prayer forms the end. Spiritual music from a record brings the proceedings to a close. 10. The dangers of communicating with the hereafter Many of our readers might possibly feel the desire, depending on their inner attitude, to also make contact with the world of the hereafter. It has to be said that such a step is not without risks . Taking no precautions is akin to opening one’s front door at night and calling out: “All of you, come inside!” Those that then enter could turn out to be very disagreeable and under certain circumstances might not want to leave of their own accord. Many have been robbed or murdered when indiscriminately inviting people into their homes.
