In the service of science - Part 2

The Psychic Peace Circle continues to report its experiences July 1963 Just how disinterested the sciences ignore spiritualism’s genuine evidence is incomprehensible. This interest was a lot more pronounced about 100 years ago. Thousands of people were asked to give their opinion in regards to the supernatural. The result was astonishing: Most of them verified supernatural phenomenon in all its varieties. With the interest of peace and development in mind, it is an imperative aspiration to create clarity in this respect. The sciences either fail because they’re incapable of creating clarity or shy away from creating clarity. • The major Churches are not inclined to acknowledge spiritualism because they would then have to declare that it is the only world-religion. This is however never their intention. It is unimportant to delve into their reasons, because they are all too obvious. As Churches and sects eliminated themselves, the spiritual demands must therefore be brought to the attention of the academic sciences. • Academic science cannot escape the criticism that it in particular commits a crime against the spiritual progress of mankind. Ignoring or sneering academic colleges that have decided to proclaim the truth is not a dignified way to treat exact research into the truth. This accusation may sound harsh. – It is however still expressed too mildly! We had an opportunity to talk to various students. When taking the economical and technical progress into account, their view of spiritualism is incredible. Where does this blaspheming rejection come from, the like we see expressed by students at universities? It is impossible for this blasphemy to be based on their own conclusions. On the contrary – it is accordingly influenced by their educators and teachers , which in turn verifies that they also have no idea of this august reality. • This is one misguidance of youth and a maldevelopment that will lead mankind into an abyss. Above everything else, it is necessary for academic science to at least deal with this subject, to orientate itself and to sort this subject. But as academics themselves have no inkling about spiritual phenomena, they naturally have to turn to experienced spiritualists and to mediums and ask for their assistance. To be instructed by non-academics probably doesn’t suit them. It doesn’t fit in with academics fabulous dignity to have to admit that it is absolutely inexperienced in this respect and that is knows nothing about it. Knowledge in this direction could quickly spread with just a little goodwill. There is no shortage of applicable textbooks. Besides, this field of knowledge is so extremely interesting and multilateral that one can assume that young students will soon take a genuinely enthusiastic interest in this subject.
