The reliability of psychic transmissions and the testing of the spirits

- 12 - from the enemy of Christ, you heard that it would come and now it is here in the world already. But you belong to God my children and have defeated the false prophets, because the spirit that is in you is more powerful than the spirit in those who belong to the world. Those false prophets speak about matters of the world and the world listens to them, because they belong to the world. But we belong to God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever does not belong to God does not listen. This then is how we can tell the difference between the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.” The apostle Paul, who reports quite extensively about contact with the world of the hereafter in his letter to the Corinthians, writes amongst other things (1. Corinthian 12, 3): “I want you to know that no one who is led by God’s spirit can say ‘A curse on Jesus!’ and no one can confess “Jesus is Lord’ unless he is guided by the Holy Spirit.” One could now assume that these indoctrinations would place a secure aid and means to recognise things into our hands, ergo help us distinguish between unclassified, malicious or hostile spirits and spirits from God’s world during our communications with the hereafter. One simply has to ask the spirit to swear that he comes under God’s orders and that Jesus Christ is his master. If the spirit cannot or is unwilling to do so, one knows that one is dealing with a lying spirit, a spiritually dead spirit, one that one should stay well clear off. Experience unfortunately tell us that evil spirits often (but not always) make such an oath, however often with a suspicious intonation (rattle off) that allows one to recognise the perjury. Furthermore, the world does not only consist of people siding with God or with his antagonist, but there exist in a sense a large grey-zone between the two camps, a large no-man’s land. It is populated by people that can not necessarily be apportioned to either party. Most of them do not know or do not believe that God and his antagonist exit. 3. Psychic communications here on Earth When people on this Earth begin to establish psychic communications they very often make contact with these unclassified and ignorant beings. • What sort of an oath should these beings swear if they are encouraged to do so? – They are not aware of the meaning of an oath and they swear to anything one demands from them. They are only interested in maintaining the psychic communication, because it provides a change in their dreary existence or because helping makes them feel important. They adopt analogically sounding titles in order to enhance their posture, pretend to be some important deceased personality or laud themselves as eminent spirit beings. It is not extraordinary for these beings to pretend to be Jesus Christ or even God. And it is also not extraordinary that such information is believed by people here on Earth without ever asking for solid evidence for their assertions. The otherworldly beings from the grey-zone and particularly Lucifer’s followers feel that they are not duty bound to tell the truth and are therefore quite on par with the people here on Earth. One askes oneself these days why these experiences are not already mentioned in the New Testament? How did the first Christians deal with the deception practices during their psychic communications? This question was put to a spirit being by the name of Josef in Zurich on the 9 th of February 1977, a spirit being that had spoken to a large community through the medium Beatrice Brunner (1910-1983) for over 30 years. This Josef answered (13, P. 88): “I would like to say the following to this: Parishes in those days had a bishop as the spiritual leader of their
