In the service of science - Part 2

We can see from these explanations that the empirical sciences and the psycho-sciences have come to the wrong conclusions. The absolute parallel between body and soul can easily produce fallacies. A change within the physical brain must naturally also bring about a parallel change in the behaviourism of the soul (brain of the soul), as long as the vital contact between body and soul still exists. To do research in this direction should be the sacred duty of the empirical sciences. Psychosomatics will thereby gain importance. The Psychic Peace Circle continues to report its experiences February 1963 In order to recognise scientific phenomena, academic science demands the potential repetition of all experiments at any time . One demands the same in regards to spiritual phenomena. Based on our experience, it might be worthwhile to analyse whether this demand is actually grantable. During well over 1,000 séances we were able to repeat experiments. However with the difference that it is not possible to repeat these experiments at any given time. All of our séances (meetings) are prearranged with the GUIDE of the otherworldly group. The otherworldly group therefore has about two weeks to prepare itself for a séance. Success cannot be guaranteed if we are unable to adhere to the prearranged time. Scientific tests in laboratories do not take these conditions into consideration. One makes no appointments with otherworldly spirits whatsoever, but demands evidence without considering the required PROTECTION and without a spiritual ORGANIZATION. But when no real contact can be established in this way, one feeds doubt and this research literally comes to a standstill. • The main provisos for every positive contact with the hereafter are LOVE, trust and harmony. The question is whether these important provisos can actually be fulfilled in a laboratory test? Let’s take a chemical or physical experiment as a comparison: In order to repeat a scientifically acknowledged experiment one must naturally accurately observe all requirements. The slightest mistake leads to a negative result. One abides by predetermined formulas. Spiritual contact also demands the accurate observations of requirements. But even if one believes to have fulfilled all requirements, there is no guarantee that one of the most important factors is not missing. Repeated spiritual experiments are always different, because the medium is always in a different frame of mind, or because the participants might mentally react completely different from what was the case during a previous experiment. • This is why spiritualism requires its own sphere. It needs it own devotional room – its tried and trusted participants – its specially selected music – and many more important demands. The whole progress of the séance immediately changes, if one deviates even in the slightest from this. It therefore comes as no surprise that home grown circles show better results than attempts in laboratories equipped with all kinds of apparatuses.
