- 55 - December 1923 and the other two in January 1924.16 They are exemplary in regards to a whole series of private meetings that stretched across a whole year. During the December meeting, my rapporteur spoke in a slow, measured tone of voice that didn’t have a trace of an accent. His lecture was impressive and even though I didn’t see him, I had the impression that the man that spoke to me was cultured and educated and had a dignified manner. Sloan was, as always on these occasions, in a deep trance, I held his hands and his head had slumped onto his chest and, apart from the occasional twitches, he sat motionless. I sat opposite him, Miss Miller, my stenographer sat at the table to my right writing down notes. Apart from the three of us, nobody from this world was in the room or as it were in the whole house, because Sloane lived by himself in those days. As a precaution I had locked the door of the room and put the key in my pocket. Besides, Miss Miller is psychically extremely gifted and this circumstance had quite a bearing on the success of this private sitting, because the amalgamation of her psychic abilities and those of Sloane made the prerequisites almost perfect. The first session that I am now talking about took place on the 4th of December 1923 at 5pm. A few minutes after we has taken to our seats, this male voice said the following to me: “Mr. Findlay, the last time you were with my medium you expressed the wish to gain information about our world. I am one of those that bears the responsibility for the processes here and I have been asked to come here this evening in order to help you in any way I can. If you want to ask me about what you want to know, I will do my best to answer you.” This voice spoke from a location high above my head. I sat across from Sloane, my hands held his and my feet touched his. As the voice spoke, I leaned forward in order to ascertain that it didn’t come from his lips, but no sound and no whisper was audible. Ventriloquism could not be an explanation, because every ventriloquist will confirm that this form of deception is impossible in darkness. I thanked the speaker for being kind enough to come here and the conversation continued in the form of questions and answers, whereby every answer followed the question instantly. Question : Here on Earth, we can only appreciate what is physical, like the earth, the sun and the stars. What is the content of what we call space? Answer : I can only answer to the degree my knowledge allows me to. Your world is pervaded by another world made of a substance with a higher rate of vibration than the one you perceive. The universe is a giant whole. But you only allow the things you see, hear and feel to have validity. Believe me when I say that there is another world made of a more ethereal substance than physical matter and the life that exists there is beyond your imagination. Connected to your world is the world that I entered after what you call death. Various densities surround your world and these turn with the rotation of the Earth.17 Question : Is your world therefore a real, tangible world? Answer : Yes, it is very real to us, but the conditions we find ourselves in depend on the state of our mind. If it is our desire, we can be surrounded by a beautiful environment. Our spirit plays a major part in our life here. The way we live in our environment that is adapted to our spiritual development; we also attract spirits that are of the same type as ourselves. Like attracts like in regards to our world and your world. The evil ones here are attracted by the evil ones of your world and the good ones by the good ones with you. We can willingly adapt ourselves to your terrestrial circumstances by reducing our vibrations. Our body becomes heavier and it turns perceptible to the human eye and 16 Only the report of one meeting is actually presented here. 17 This rotation must not necessarily affect the whole world of the hereafter, it correlates to the region the otherworld speaker resides in, according to his opinion.
