In the service of science - Part 2
no inkling of the truth, but assume that the truth is offered to them in this fashion. – This situation, in its one-sidedness, is disgraceful! – To wildly rattle on about this without giving consideration to international research results and to present everything as being imagination, deceit or absolute superstitious nonsense, represents an abuse of titles and professional pride . We already protested against this method 10 years ago and we show here a letter we received from the Institute for Psycho-science, Psychology and Psycho-hygiene , Freiburg/Breisgau, Eichhalde 12. Its superintendent, Professor Dr. Hans Bender answered: Dear Mister Speer! Thank you for your letter from the 14 th of May 1955 that contained a, for me interesting communication that Professor Dr. Haseloff , Berlin, gave a completely negative lecture in regards to para-psychology at the DGB. I would be grateful if you could inform me who Professor Haseloff is, what subject matter he teaches and where he teaches. Your criticism is absolutely justified. – Those that lecture about para-psychology must convey an overview of international research results. I am interested in hearing more about your own experiences. Could you give me a short exposé when you find the time? Kind regards H. Bender This is what mankind lacks. The average citizens have no idea what is actually investigated in this field of knowledge. They are even less aware of what has already been investigated . If they turn to the Church in order to receive information from its “expert”, it replies with words like demons, purgatory, mortal sin and with threats that spiritualism was forbidden . – Truly, primitive tribes are way ahead of us in this respect. They made their own experiences. They found affirmation in their own experiences, even though they do not know what to do with them. Spiritualism is an incredibly worthwhile field of knowledge and it is part of any insight into nature. It is important that academic science is interested in this and is also mobilised. Whole worlds of insights are revealed to those that seriously deal with this without getting involved in blatant atheism. But one has to listen to those with experience! The Psychic Peace Circle continues to report its experiences December 1965 After a few enterprising people dared to introduce the public to occultism , a number of scientists felt called upon to publicise their own opinion. Their opinion is however, due to the lack of positive experiences, negative . One does now admit that this phenomenon exists. Spiritual or occult phenomena were abnegated in the past. One is well aware these days that obstinate denials only make one look ridiculous and illogical. One does however not want to run as a converted to the camp of the converted. This is asking a little too much after so many years of denials. One gives in by no longer denying that these phenomena exist. But one would not like to look for the cause of these phenomena with proscribed ghosts or spirits. They prefer that human beings are
