In the service of science - Part 2

This goal cannot be achieved with run-of-the-mill spiritualists and also not with average mediums. Besides, a spiritual meeting can not just be moved to a university or to a scientific institute. • According to otherworldly LAWS, not just spook is restricted to location, but to some high degree – even if not absolutely – communication with HIGHER SPIRIT BEINGS also. Inexperienced academics unfortunately managed, at least attempted to, to relocate spiritistic contacts to the courtroom. But when the evidence stayed away, something that should not really come as a surprise, the whole affair was interpreted as deception. The pleasure amongst journalists and atheists was great in these cases, because they were able to release a credible article that derided all occultism most severely. – One does not consult an experienced spiritualist, because he is one of the “con artists” one would like to nab. The Psychic Peace Circle continues to report its experiences September 1965 If we look at one of Baerwald’s 3 explanations we see that Baerwald talks about a battlefield, a battle between occultism and the other sciences. The battle that takes place on this battlefield is fought with the same exacerbation and passion as political parties deal with their differences of opinion. When Baerwald says that such a scientific battle exists, every normal sentient person would have to admit that one would certainly not fight about a phantasm in such a way. The fact that one is dealing with a real problem can therefore not be denied. • The sciences can never invalidate spiritualism. Spiritualism is and remains a fact, one that only requires the correct interpretation, respectively the correct acknowledgment. In regards to experience, spiritualists are far superior to the sciences in this respect. They deal with this subject matter completely differently, namely by delving into otherworldly, respectively spiritual LAWS. Academic science on the other hand tries to apply a kind of mental acrobatic, something that indeed bedazzles the layman, but does in no way serve the truth. The innovative names invented for occult phenomena are nothing short of ridiculous. They are for instance: The capping of hyperesthesia 4 as well as hypermnesia 5 , the hypermnesic subconscious . Spiritualist would not find it difficult to also invent such highfalutin denotations. The experienced spiritualist is however aware of his responsibilities. He knows that this would not serve the truth. Let’s return to Baerwald who wrote a book about all of occultism without having an inkling of what he’s talking about. He explained the “hypermnesic subconscious” as follows: “The subconscious of the circle participants mentally formulates whole sentences that are indeed of a completely unconscious nature, but enable the table to turn.” (Turning of tables) There is also another “plausible” explanation: “The medium clicks his toes or cracks his joints, thereby producing an alphabetical Morse code.” 3 Baerwald, Richard; (1867-1929), German psychologist, tried to explain that all paranormal experiences take place within a telepathic net. Literature:” Occultism and spiritualism and their philosophical conclusions.” 4 Hyperesthesia [gr. –nlat.]: Hypersensitivity, particularly in regards to sensory and emotive nerves. 5 Hypermnesia [gr. –nlat.]: Abnormal enhancement of memory, for instance under hypnosis.
