Infatti, dalle indagini intraprese, emerge la prova che le copiosissime informazioni conseguite medianicamente intorno all'ambiente e all'esistenza spirituale concordano mirabilmente tra di loro per ciò che si riferisce ai ragguagli d'ordine generale, i quali sono anche i soli che si richiedono onde concludere in favore della genesi estrinseca delle rivelazioni in esame, giacché le apparenti discrepanze d'ordine secondario, quali si rinvengono nelle rivelazioni stesse, derivano palesemente da cause multiple chiaramente discernibili e pienamente giustificabili. Aggiungo in proposito che talune categorie di siffatte presunte discrepanze contribuiscono efficacemente a fornire una chiara visione sintetica intorno alle modalità con cui si estrinseca l'esistenza spirituale, in quanto appaiono determinate dalle condizioni psichiche particolari ad ogni singola personalità di defunto comunicante. Ciò premesso, ritengo necessario insistere sul fatto che se persevero ad occuparmi di un tema condannato all'ostracismo dalla scienza, ciò è dovuto alla circostanza che, in grazia delle mie laboriose ricerche, ho acquisito la certezza che in un non lontano avvenire la sezione metapsichica delle «rivelazioni trascendentali» assurgerà ad un grande valore scientifico e, in conseguenza, costituirà la branca più importante delle discipline metapsichiche. Che vale, dunque, se ora tale branca è ripudiata dai metapsichicisti ad orientamento rigorosamente scientifico, ed è totalmente negletta da una gran parte degli stessi spiriti, tra i quali, alcuni anni or sono, mi trovavo anch'io? Riconosco che non poteva accadere altrimenti, in quanto è conforme all'evoluzione naturale delle ricerche metapsichiche che 5 queste si siano iniziate indagando sulle manifestazioni supernormali a svolgimento prevalentemente fisico, per rivolgersi quindi alle manifestazioni a svolgimento prevalentemente intelligente, in cui erano presenti elementi verificabili, tali da consentire l'identificazione personale dei defunti comunicanti. Ne deriva che solo quando si sarà raggiunta la certezza scientifica in ordine alla genesi estrinseca della parte più interessante della fenomenologia metapsichica, solo allora si comprenderà il grande valore scientifico, morale e sociale delle rivelazioni trascendentali sistematicamente indagate, le quali assurgeranno rapidamente al posto d'onore nella classificazione delle manifestazioni metapsichiche. Comunque, l'alba di un tal giorno non è spuntata ancora; il che non impedisce a un indagatore isolato di precorrere i tempi, in modo da formarsi, sulla base dei fatti, una precisa opinione sull'argomento. Nel qual caso, e per il vantaggio di tutti, questi è tenuto in coscienza ad avere il coraggio della propria opinione, anche se i tempi immaturi lo espongono a critiche più o meno severe. Orbene, io mi sento questo coraggio: ho mutato opinione riguardo al valore tecnico implicito nelle raccolte di «rivelazioni trascendentali», e non esito un istante a dichiararlo. A ciò m'incoraggia l'esempio di eminenti studiosi, i quali non esitarono a pubblicare dichiarazioni analoghe. Così si esprime sull'argomento il professor Oliver Lodge: «Queste sono le cosiddette "rivelazioni inverificabili", giacché non è possibile stabilire indagini per la loro verifica, come avviene per le informazioni concernenti ragguagli personali o vicende mondane... Comunque, io propendo a credere, insieme ad un numero sempre crescente di altri studiosi, che va maturando il tempo per la raccolta sistematica e la discussione del materiale metapsichico di natura "inverificabile": materiale che si presta ad essere indagato e controllato in base alla intrinseca sua consistenza, la quale conferisce al medesimo un grado notevole di probabilità, nello stesso modo in cui le narrazioni degli esploratori africani si prestano ad essere analizzate e controllate in base alle loro concordanze... Rammento che, dal punto di vista filosofico, venne osservato come tutto 6 concorra a far presumere che, in ultima analisi, la vera prova della sopravvivenza dipenderà dallo studio e dalla comparazione di queste "narrazioni di esploratori spirituali", anziché dalle prove derivanti dai ragguagli personali forniti circa eventi del passato, in merito ai quali - fino a quando non si perverrà a sviscerare a fondo la natura della memoria - è sempre possibile congetturare che tutto il passato risulti potenzialmente accessibile alle facoltà supernormali della subcoscienza umana..., per quanto io non ritenga razionale l'ipotesi dell'esistenza di una memoria impersonale...». (Raymond, pagg. 347- 348) (1). - nota - (1) Oliver Lodge, Raymond, or Life after Death, (con esempi sull'evidenza della sopravvivenza della memoria e dell'affetto dopo la morte). Prima ed., London, 1916, pagg. XI-403, in ottavo. - fine nota - Anche il professor Hyslop, a proposito della pubblicazione di due raccolte del genere, osserva: «Nulla vi è d'impossibile nei ragguagli contenuti in questi ricordi... La consuetudine dei più è quella di mettere in ridicolo la concezione di un ambiente spirituale qual è quello che si adombra in simili messaggi; ma questi signori che dispensano il ridicolo con tanta leggerezza non pensano che così facendo presumono di conoscere tutta la verità intorno al mondo spirituale... Io non mi pronuncio né per una parte, né per l'altra, ma dichiaro di non avere obiezioni da opporre all'esistenza di un ambiente spirituale qual è quello descritto, anche quando appare più assurdo del nostro ambiente terreno. Io non so comprendere perché si esiga che il mondo spirituale debba essere più ideale del nostro. Entrambi i mondi sono l'opera del medesimo Autore, si chiami esso la Materia o Dio.

Herr Florizel von Reuter is a musician of European fame, and one of the greatest German virtuosos upon the violin. He is a man of many accomplishments, which seem to include both the· tr psychic temperament and the power of writing a clear and arresting statement. His story speaks for itself. Whether the very remarkable· results obtained were, as would appear, independent messages, or whether they were the products of a dramatisation of his own subconscious powers, presents a problem to the researcher.

  • LA MÉDIUMNITÉ POLYGLOTTE Xénoglossie
    Ernest BOZZANO LA MÉDIUMNITÉ POLYGLOTTE xénoglossie 1 Introduction Le terme xénoglossie a été proposé par le professeur Charles Richet dans le but de distinguer nettement la médiumnité polyglotte proprement dite, dans laquelle les médiums parlent ou écrivent en des langues qu’ils ignorent totalement, et qui sont parfois inconnues même aux assistants, des cas radicalement différents (malgré une ressemblance purement apparente) de glossolalie, dans lesquels les sujets somnambuliques parlent ou écrivent en de pseudo-langues inexistantes, élaborées dans les tréfonds de leurs subconsciences : pseudo- langues qui sont quelquefois organiques, en ce sens qu’elles sont composées conformément à des règles grammaticales. Inutile de nous occuper de cette dernière catégorie de phénomènes, qui sont de nature somnambulique et hypnotique, et n’ont rien de commun avec la médiumnité polyglotte, pas plus qu’avec les manifestations métapsychiques en général, quoique des incidents de glossolalie puissent parfois s’intercaler en des manifestations supra normales authentiques. Ce qui ne doit pas nous étonner, puisque les interpolations subconscientes ne sauraient être évitées dans aucune branche de la métapsychique, tant que l’on ne connaîtra pas mieux les lois psychophysiques qui différencient les états médiumniques de ceux somnambuliques. Au point de vue théorique, la médiumnité polyglotte constitue une des manifestations métapsychiques les plus importantes, parce qu’elle élimine d’un coup toutes les hypothèses qui sont à la disposition de ceux qui se proposeraient de les expliquer sans s’écarter des pouvoirs supranormaux inhérents à la subconscience humaine. L’interprétation des faits s’impose ainsi, dans cette circonstance, d’une manière rationnellement inévitable ; c’est-à-dire que, grâce aux phénomènes de xénoglossie, on doit considérer comme démontrée l’intervention dans les expériences médiumniques d’entités spirituelles étrangères aux médiums et aux assistants.

Die daraus entstandene pansophische Loge, in der Tradition der Rosenkreuzer, ist von den mystischen Erfahrungen einer göttlichen oder absoluten Wirklichkeit nicht zu trennen, denn Tränker war der Meinung, dass die Geschichte der Rosenkreuzer gleichzeitig eine Geschichte der Mystik sei. Diese Sichtweise war für ihn eng verbunden mit den Grundlagen der Alchemie, der er in diesem Zusammenhang stets besondere Aufmerksamkeit schenkte.

  • An Investigation of Music and Paranormal Phenomena
    PARAMUSICOLOGY: AN INVESTIGATION OF MUSIC AND PARANORMAL PHENOMENA Melvyn J. Willin Ph. D. Music Department University of Sheffield February 1999 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, LS23 7BQ www.bl.uk THESIS CONTAINS TAPE CASSETTE PARAMUSICOLOGY: AN INVESTIGATION OF MUSIC AND PARANORMALPBENOMENA Melvyn J. Willin SUMMARY The purpose of this thesis is to explore musical anomalies that are allegedly paranormal in origin. From a wide range of categories available, three areas are investigated: • music and telepathy • music written by mediums professedly contacted by dead composers • music being heard where the physical source of sound is unknown and presumed to be paranormal. In the first part a method of sensory masking (referred to as ganzfeld) is used to study the possibility of the emotional or physical content of music being capable of mind transference. A further experiment presents additional results relating to the highest scoring individuals in the previous trials. No systematic evidence for the telepathic communication of music was found. In the second section a number of mediums and the music they produced are investigated to examine the truthfulness of their claims of spiritual intervention in compositions and performances. Methods of composition are investigated and the music is analysed by experts. For the final part of the thesis locations are specified where reports of anomalous music have been asserted and people claiming to have heard such music are introduced and their statements examined. Literature from a variety of data bases is considered to ascertain whether the evidence for paranormal music consists of genuine material, misconceived perceptions or fraudulent claims.
