    A Case of the Possession Type in India with Evidence of Paranormal Knowledge

Printed in the USA. 01989 Society for Scientific Exploration A Case of the Possession Type in India With Evidence of Paranormal Knowledge Department of Behavioral Medicine and Psychiatry, University of Virginia, Charlottesvill~:VA 22908 Department of Clinical Psychology, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS), Bangalore, India 5epartment of Behavioral Medicine and Psychiatry, Universily of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22908 Abstract-A young married woman, Sumitra, in a village of northern India, apparently died and then revived. After a period of confusion she stated that she was one Shiva who had been murdered in another village. She gave enough details to permit verification of her statements, which corresponded to facts in the life of another young married woman called Shiva. Shiva had lived in a place about 100 km away, and she had died violently there-either by suicide or murder-about two months before Sumitra's apparent death and revival. Subsequently, Sumitra recognized 23 persons (in person or in photographs) known to Shiva. She also showed in several respects new behavior that accorded with Shiva's personality and attainments. For example, Shiva's family were Brahmins (high caste), whereas Sumitra's were Thakurs (second caste); after the change in her personality Sumitra showed Brahmin habits that were strange in her fam- ily. Extensive interviews with 53 informants satisfied the investigators that the families concerned had been, as they claimed, completely unknown to each other before the case developed and that Sumitra had had no normal knowledge of the people and events in Shiva's life.

    ANNUAL CONFERENCE IN SEATTLE The International Association for Near-Death Studies, Inc. Vol. XX, No. 3, 2001 $5.00 THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE AT THE SEATTLE CONFERENCE: NDES IN THE Dreaming in Seattle MEDICAL PROFESSION Bill Taylor by Pam Kircher, M.D. r. Bob Brumblay, an emergency room hile attending the IANDS Annual Conference physician from Hawaii, told this year’s in Seattle I had a wonderful dream. I was being IANDS conference how his attempts Dto understand his wife’s near-death experience revived on an operating table in the hospital and had just Wreturned to my body from somewhere out in the universe. As I looked up at eventually led him to a new theory of human the doctor who had revived me, I felt afraid to tell him of this very personal perception. And Seattle pediatrician Dr. Melvin event. To my surprise he asked me if anything unusual happened while I was Morse confessed to having been skeptical initially practically dead. I cautiously described what had happened to me and how I when children resuscitated by him described their had floated above my body and traveled far away, met a light being and later NDEs—but by now Morse has heard so many returned to my body. He said he had studied this phenomenon in medical such stories from his young patients that research- school, and that he knew of other patients with similar experiences. He in- ing the NDE has become a major focus of his troduced me to a nurse who provided me with information, resources, and career, and has fundamentally altered his locations of support groups where I could meet and talk about this if I wanted worldview.

Alvarado [email protected] Submitted March 11, 2020; Accepted July 5, 2020; Published December 15, 2020 DOI: 10.31275/20201785 Creative Commons License CC-BY-NC Abstract—Some early reference works about psychic phenomena have included bibliographies, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and general over- view books. A particularly useful one, and the focus of the present article, is Nandor Fodor’s Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science (Fodor, n.d., circa 1933 or 1934). The encyclopedia has more than 900 alphabetically arranged entries. These cover such phenomena as apparitions, auras, automatic writing, clairvoyance, hauntings, materialization, poltergeists, premoni- tions, psychometry, and telepathy, but also mediums and psychics, re- searchers and writers, magazines and journals, organizations, theoretical ideas, and other topics. In addition to the content of this work, and some information about its author, it is argued that the Encyclopaedia is a good reference work for the study of developments from before 1933, even though it has some omissions and bibliographical problems. Keywords: Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science; Nandor Fodor; psychical re- search reference works; history of psychical research INTRODUCTION The work discussed in this article, Nandor Fodor’s Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science (Fodor, n.d., circa 1933 or 1934), is a unique compilation of information about psychical research and related topics up to around 1933. Widely used by writers interested in overviews of the literature, Fodor’s work is part of a reference literature developed over the years to facilitate the acquisition of knowledge about the early publications of the field by students of psychic phenomena.

William James Center for Consciousness Studies Institute of Transpersonal Psychology Palo Alto, California, 94303 USA Psychomanteum Research 2 Abstract A Psychomanteum Process involving mirror-gazing was conducted in a research setting to explore apparent facilitated contact with deceased friends and relatives, and to collect data on the phenomena, experiences, and effects on bereavement. A pilot study with 5 participants resulted in strong experiences and 4 apparent contacts. The main study took 27 participants through a three stage process: remembering a deceased friend or relative, sitting in a darkened room gazing into a mirror while thinking of the person, and finally discussing and reflecting on the experience. Data were collected with pre- and post- questionnaires, a follow-up questionnaire at least 4 weeks after the session, interviews by the facilitators, and two personality measures, the Tellegen Absorption Scale and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Contacts with the sought person were reported by 13 participants. Participants reported that a variety of imagery appeared in the mirror, as well as experiences of dialogue, sounds, light, body sensations, and smell. Several specific messages were reported by participants who believed that they were from the sought persons. Twenty-one self report items relating to bereavement were analyzed for changes between pre- and follow-up questionnaires. Statistically significant reductions in bereavement responses occurred over the entire group using a Wilcoxon signed ranks analysis (p = .05 to .0008).
  • The Third Secret of Fatima

    The Third Secret of Fatima

    Fatima Apparitional Experiences Dr James Paul Pandarakalam An apparition may provide evidence of the authenticity of its manifestation at a physical site by offering predictions that are to be fulfilled at a later date. One of the distinctive features of the events at Fatima in Portugal in 1917 is the fulfilment in our own time of the predictions made. Ever since the occurrence of these famous visionary experiences, among observers and believers there has been an exponential interest in the third secret. Voice phenomena observed during Marian apparitions such as those at Fatima have analogies with externally controlled recurrent spontaneous psychokinetic (RSPK) activity, and visionary experiences involving RSPK or RSPK-like activity may be instances of apparitions at a physical site. The voice extinction and sensory disconnection demonstrated in the Fatima percipients could be explained as psychokinetic-like activity on the part of the apparition. True apparitional experiences prove the existence of psi-like phenomena and discarnate survival. In general, paranormal phenomena involve non-physical, physical and social events. Only physical events are accessible to scientific study. Marian apparitional experiences may be subjected to scientific analysis, but Marian apparition is beyond the scientific realm. The Fatima apparitional events inform research into post-mortem existence and offer a complementary insight into our current knowledge of the discarnate realm. Marian apparitions may be regarded as an antidote to the afflictions of the present century. Introduction Several hundreds of apparitional experiences have been claimed to have occurred in the twentieth century. Marian apparitional experiences have been reported in nearly all the continents of the world in the later half of that century.

LTD. THE UNIVERSITY PRESS GLASGOW ; PKEFACE The Society's Library has been completely re-organised during the past year. The books have been arranged on the shelves by subject and date, many useless ones having been turned out ; the important collection of pamphlets has been classified and boimd, as have been several hundred books •"^w bookcases have been fitted and, finally, the present ; catalogue has been compiled on a detailed and luiiform plan. During the next few years the Library can anticipate a further and considerable increase in usefulness : the result of a generous grant of £250 a year for four years made by the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust for the purchase of books and the Uke. At the end of this period those borrowing works, or consulting them in the Society's Rooms, wiU have at their disposal a thoroughly representative collection of books, pamphlets and periodicals on psychical research and on the neighbouring departments of psychology and philosophy. This development wiU involve, for some time, a great many changes in the disposition of the books on the shelves. For this reason the press-marks have not been printed in the present catalogue, and it is therefore at present impos- sible, without reference to the Library itself, to distinguish those books which are available for reference only, and not for borrowing. Such books are kept in cases 11 and 12 and on shelves i.

THE IMPACT OF POST DEATH COMMUNICATION [PDC] ON BEREAVEMENT Brigid McCormick, B.A. Thesis completed to fulfill the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS MASSEY UNIVERSITY May 2014. “There are universal reports of these post-mortem phenomena . They are based in the main on psychic facts which cannot be dismissed out of hand. Very often the fear of superstition, which strangely enough, is the concomitant of universal enlightenment, is responsible for the hasty suppression of extremely interesting reports which are then lost to science” (Jung, 1964b, p. 316). ii Abstract Post Death Communication (i.e. perceived communication from someone who has died), has been part of the human experience since the earliest recorded history, and it is now known to be highly beneficial to almost all bereaved individuals who experience it. Despite the fact that PDC appears to be common to all cultures and is usually very welcome and very healing, it has been judged by Western society in a negative way and as a result, fear of negative judgment has meant that experients are hesitant to discuss it. Using Thematic Analysis, this study conducted a small qualitative investigation into the experience of PDC among New Zealand and North American populations. In a semi-structured interview, conducted face to face where possible, and by Skype where necessary, 14 participants aged between 52 and 80 years were asked about the nature of their PDC experience, how they felt about it, and how it impacted their bereavement.

De directe aanleiding tot deze uitgave is de vraag van de afdeling Utrecht naar een dergelijk boekje, gedaan in de jaarvergadering van 1936 . Het bleek me, dat meerderen mijn behoefte aan een klein naslaboekje deelden, en daardoor ben ik aan het werk getogen en met de samenstelling be- gonnen . Hierbij hebben mij vooral veel dienst bewezen de volgende werken : ,Okkultistisches Lexikon" von Prof . Nagel ; de : „Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science" van Nandor Fodor ; de : ,Beknopte handleiding der Psychical Research" van Dr . Tenhaeff ; ,Der Okkultismus" van Dr. F . Moser ; ,Het on- verklaarbare in het Leven na den Dood" van Dr . H . C . A . Mul- ler en ook het : ,Philosophisches Worterbuch" van Prof . H. Schmidt. Naast dit werkje blijft het gebruik van een goed woorden- boekje, als b .v .: ,Kramers Woordentolk" nodig . Ik heb ge- meend, me to moeten bepalen tot datgene, wat daar niet, of onvoldoende werd behandeld, daar anders de uitgave to kostbaar zou worden . Zo is ook de tekst steeds zo beknopt mogelijk gehouden, daar ik het boekje door een lage prijs onder ieders bereik wil brengen . Men beschouwe dit boekje als een eerste poging, om to komen tot een woordenboek of kleine encyclopedie, waar- in speciaal het spiritisme wordt belicht . Daarom ook roep ik de medewerking in van alle bevoegde, belangstellende lezers, om mij hun op- en aanmerkingen to doen toekomen in de vorm van een opbouwende critiek, opdat een even- tuele tweede druk moge worden een : veel verbeterde, zeer vermeerderde druk!
