- 11 - The deficiency in a terrestrial sense, is in many cases the fact that one doesn’t know from whom in the hereafter a report is actually from and this naturally brings a certain uncertainty to the matter. But this is made even worse because one doesn’t know whether the otherworldly reporter is actually accurately informed himself or whether he only disseminates hearsay or out and out lies. Furthermore, messages from the hereafter can also be influenced by the subconscious or hidden desires of the transmitting medium. One has to know all of this and take it into consideration in order to separate the chaff from the wheat as carefully as possible. Otherworldly entities try in some cases to embellish their messages with specific authority and credibility by adorning themselves with impressive sounding names and titles, even though their massages do not have the corresponding spiritual importance. This happened quite often in the last but one century, namely that “Goethe”, “Schiller” or “Napoleon” announced themselves. The names of deceased film stars and pop singers are used these days. Furthermore, I know mediums that claim that “God” or “Christ” personally speaks through them and they utilise a lot of public advertising. The greatest of care is advised here! In 1983 I received a book titled “Gespräche mit dem Jenseits” from an author from Cologne who introduced herself in an accompanying letter as a “hereafter researcher, writing medium and a lot more”. She wrote in her letter: “I do not believe that you have ever come across a medium of my calibre before – excuse my boastfulness. You will be able to ascertain this after you have read my book.” She furthermore informed me that she could provide evidence of her research into the hereafter at any time of day and asked me to provide her with a certificate for a fee because it would be beneficial for her personally and for the book. I read her book and found that it contained interviews with “famous” deceased personalities that an attentive reader of glossy magazines and television viewer would be familiar with. Amongst them were for instance “Ingrid Bergmann”, “Marilyn Monroe”, “Adolf Hitler”, “Hermann Göring”, “Konrad Adenauer”, “Albert Einstein” etc. – She started an interview with “Mosche Dajan” as follows: Question: I truly no longer remember your name, but I hope that you know that I mean you.” Answer: Kindest regards dear M., yes, I am Mosche Dajan. You have been racking your brain about my name for days. Question: Are you in the Jewish Quarters? Answer: You are indeed well informed. Etc. I wrote to the author Mrs. M. on the 31th of October 1983 that I couldn’t find anything in her book that indicated to me that the personalities she mentioned by name were in fact those people. The things written in the various chapters could have come from anyone and did not constitute evidence of the asserted originators. The style on the other hand actually verified the opposite. The psychic author made one significant mistake in regards to her “otherworldly informant” Jakob Lorber. She introduced him as a Catholic priest and writer and asked him: Question: You were a Catholic priest and you wrote books and edification booklets about religion? Answer: Yes, I was a Catholic priest and I wrote a lot of these books, books I would no longer write these days, because their content can no longer be sustained. Jakob Lorber (1800 – 1864) had indeed been a Catholic, but never a priest. He was a musician and from 1840 onwards a writing medium for religious themes. Amongst other things, he wrote an eleven volume work he called “Das Grosse Evangelium Johannes”.
