The Great Encounter

- 15 - I know now that there are so-called scholars that portent to have an answer to explain away this phe- nomenon also. They call it “unconscious telepathy” , meaning that we had tapped into the subconscious of the doctor… On a collision course with school religion Based on my school religion I had a completely different concept of Heaven and hell than I have now. I believe that I share my own concepts with many of my fellow man:  At the beginning I was of the opinion that Heaven was situated very far away from Earth, some- where out there in space, maybe on another star. I thought that the entire hereafter was a part of Heaven and that hell - according to my imagination - also had to be somewhere infinitely far away, if there was actually something akin to hell.  To follow on from there I was also under the impression that the human soul, in case it actually survived the demise of the body, would also be carried away to some inconceivably far away place, in any case as far away from our Earth as possible.  To me, GOD was not a human like being, but only represented an enormous natural force, that is, certain natural laws one had to respect and that controlled all life forms and the movements of the stars. With it came all the latest findings of the natural sciences, biology, technology and a lot of other things as well.  To me the devil simply represented a fairytale figure with three horns and a long tail, the same Punch (from the Punch and Judy Show) was always fighting with. All of this put together resulted in a well rounded world, you might call it a cosmos, a universe -, something that was beyond everything, unfathomable and incomprehensible. Through the automatic writing we mutually controlled, the concepts about the universe, GOD and HIS hereafter gradually changed . We carried out various experiments with inscribed slips of paper, which we mixed up and placed face down on the table, like one does playing cards. Our excellent connection with the hereafter was able to read the text on the slip of paper before we had a chance to look at it. This was something akin to clairvoyance, but has nothing to do with clairvoyance. As time went by I felt obliged not to claim this wonderful connection all to myself, but to convince other people of its validity. I started to invited complete strangers into my flat to give them testimony about life after death, this completely free of charge and out of pure idealism. I even managed to persuade my family doctor. He was a hard and fast materialist equipped with the most intense doubts. He gradually capitulated under the pressure of these extremely impressive messages and turned up more often than I wanted him to, because he found this connection so interesting and was able to ask many scientific questions, which were answered to his complete satisfaction. We discovered time and again that the invisible INTELLIGENCES had all their senses under excellent control, especially the fact that they could hear and see very well impressed us greatly. What an unsuspecting fool I was!
