- 33 - our medium. Such spirits often complained that one had chased them away. They had no idea that they had died and that they had possessed and tormented people as spirits. If one now experiences on the one hand that the possessing spirit, when it expresses itself through the medium, behaves exactly like it did when inside the patient and when on the other hand his expulsion from the patient gives the latter relief from his complaints, this would surely verify without doubt that this spirit was the originator of the pathological disturbance. We could also without doubt ascertain in many cases, the kind of human personality we had in the deceased inside the medium in front of us! With such a ‘transference’ into the medium and the permanent eviction of the spirit, the state of health of the patient improved. But it happens often enough that a whole number of spirits have to be evicted from the patient! Some might now ask why the more advanced spirits do not take charge of these earthbound souls and guide them onto the correct path instead of bringing them to a medium first? Quite simply because many of these ignorant souls are not reachable for the more advanced spirits before they have once again been brought in intimate and fully conscious contact with the terrestrial-physical world of the body. Only once they have become aware through the rough facts that a great change must have taken place within them, will they come to their senses in regards to their situation and will allow themselves to be guided onto the path of higher development! When an ignorant spirit gains the opportunity to express itself through our circle’s medium, you’ll find that this process serves a number of purposes. The spirit it usually brought to recognise its situation and the teaching researcher gains an enrichment of his experience with every new case. But whole hordes of other spirits, those that still live in the darkness of their lack of insight, are assembled around us at the same time and this in order to learn from the behaviour of their comrades that share their fate and the indoctrinations that they receive. Many spirits however behave as if there are not quite right in the head and it is difficult to have a sensible conversation with them. This is due to their stubborn beliefs, preconceived ideas and irrational concepts that they have absorbed or formed during their life on Earth. They are often unruly and if one finds it necessary to hold the hands of the medium in order to keep them under control, they vehemently object to this. But once they have grasped their true situation, many of them are overcome with the feeling of dying and this makes them lose their control over the medium. Other spirit on the other hand are dull and drowsy and express no other wish than to be left alone. They require some very severe talking-to to wake them up, something that will become apparent in the following accounts. They often mention the word ‘dungeon’ wherein unruly spirits can be accommodated; these spirits sometimes complain when they talk through the medium to us, that they have been in prison! According to the laws of spirit, spirits actually gain the ability, with their accumulation of insights and knowledge, to create an environment for ignorant, reluctant souls that feels like a prison to them, ergo an impenetrable cell-like room from whence there is no escape. They must remain in there until they come to their senses and until they show to good will to take their changed life situation into account and submit to the laws of spiritual development! In the meantime, they will see nothing but the mistakes and shortcomings of their own personality that is presented to them in the form of thousands of mirror images as well as the things they did or omitted to do during the life on Earth that they left behind! When my wife acts as a medium and when she allows disembodied spirit beings to use her body, it is always in a state of a so-called deep trance. During this process, her eyes are closed, her own consciousness completely switched off and she is in a deep sleep. She has no memory after of what has eventuated or what has been announced during that time. Outside of these trance states, ergo during the time between our meetings, she does not suffer from any impairments. She is always master of her consciousness, has a clear mind and her presence is determined and sure. After 30 years of our research her health had not been weakened or damaged in any way. She is under constant otherworldly protection that a company of powerful spirits supervises. They call themselves the ‘Covenant of Mercy’ and they are the ones that guide the work that we do,
