Hey, don't blame me if this conference drives me crazy! I mean,
first you guys sent that channeler to my house...
Lord knows what y'all will send next. A poltergeist would be fitting,
as the house is 100 years old. ;-)
RE: .3
You could be right. Howe'er, two people have been kind enough to
send me their channeled info. Where the heck are the rest of you?
You too, Pandy!

If the Rosicrucians (sp?) are a secret society, how do we know who
does or does not belong?

RE: .7 (Frederick)
"Negative ego?" Did you think that phrase up yourself or did you pay
for it?
I am sorry that you feel the experiment is some kind of manipulation.
I suggest that your unease about it is a result of your own fear that
your particular omniscient entity would be wrong. If you don't want to
"play," fine. But I resent the implication that anyone who wishes to
take part (including myself) is being a "child or adolescent." Looks
like you have a prodigious dearth of positive ego yourself, chum.
If these supposed entities do have knowledge of events beyond our
scope, then all the predictions should be the same. I think this is
the right place to test that thesis. As I mentioned in the base note, I
will keep the predictions secret and then post them all at once.
However, it may interest you to know that the two messages received so
far coincide.

| I removed .7 after I reread the base note...I had read it
with a different tone until I read .8's reaction.
If I read it more "innocently", then I suppose the premise
is okay. I had read it as more malicious. Sorry, John, I guess
I just want to have it in for you, somehow.
Sorry I can't comply...it's too hard to get to talk directly
with Lazaris for ME to do anything about your game. On reflection,
I recognize that I have asked questions at least as stupid several
times (of Lazaris, I mean.) No question should be deemed too stupid.
The intent is a different matter, however.

What exactly are we trying to prove with this "scientific" study.
If not all replies agree does it prove that "all psychic phenomenon
is fraud" ( except ufo's, right John;-) or that the non-consistent
answers are from specific charlatans? Can one right answer be
considered sufficient proof (of what?)?

489.15 | Its not scientific at all. | PBSVAX::COOPER | Topher Cooper | Mon Sep 21 1987 18:27 | 13 |
| RE: .13
I hope no one considers this in any real sense a "scientific
experiment." The only conclusion which *might* be reached is that
not all the participating channeled personalities are omniscient.
This is a very weak conclusion since, to the best of my knowledge,
*none* are claiming omniscience.
This "experiment" can give us something to think about but it will
not allow us to *conclude* anything at all, unless it comes out
just right.

| John, the teachings of the Rosicrucians are "secret" only in the
sense that they are not available to public scrutiny, but anyone
who applies for membership and IS ACCEPTED by the Order, may have
access to the teachings. I am certainly not in a position to be
a spokesman for the Order...they do mention some of their past members
in their preliminary literature...if you have any more questions
about the Order please direct them to
AMORC
Rosicrusian Park
San Jose, CA 95114
I will say that the proof you are looking for will
not come from any of us...just the same as we each had to find it
for ourselves...you will either find the proof you are looking for
through your own experience, or you will not; but I don't think
you will find it anywhere but inside your own head and heart.
Good luck! I really do admire your style of thinking...

489.26 | I know why he hasn't responded!! | MASTER::EPETERSON | | Fri Sep 25 1987 12:49 | 10 |
| Perhaps all the notes he has on the experiment have been captured
by some alien race. NO - even better - he has been taken aboard
their space ship and his mind has been altered so that he now thinks
he is Topher Kallis and has gone off to live with a cloistered
meditation group who channel Pandy from their retreat at Crystal
mountain and ... and ...
uh - yeah, that's the ticket! That's why he hasn't responded

Hi John:
I decided, just for the fun of it to take up your challenge. I
"channeled" a personality using a pendulum (a long "key-chain" or
"light-pull" chain and my car key). While I don't take the results
seriously, I was careful to treat the process seriously. This is
not a complete transcript because I asked a bunch of additional
"consistency checking" questions, which resulted in consistent answers.
You'll have to take my word for it that these answers were not a simple
result of expectancy -- some of the answers were not at all what I
anticipated.
The four possible answers to a question are: YES, NO, WON'T ANSWER and
CAN'T ANSWER. I got one WON'T ANSWER when I asked a constancy
question in a rather muddled way.
Do you understand the challenge? YES
Are you willing and able to participate? YES
Is there a conventional explanation for the event? YES
Was the event due to deliberate fraud? NO
Can the cause of the event be said to be due to neurosis or other
psychopathology on the part of some individual? NO
Is the cause of the event human error? YES
Is a single individual's error the primary cause of the event? NO
Error by several individuals contributed to the creation of the event,
then? YES
The known cast of characters consists of the 2 owners, the police
investigators, the lab technician(s) and the reporter(s). Were the
significant errors which created this event all on the part of these
people? NO
Were any of the significant errors due to any of these people? NO
Is the substance in the house human blood? NO
Was it blood at all: YES
But it is true that the technician who made the tests did not
mistakenly identify it as human blood? YES
Did the technician identify human blood? NO
So the technician's results were misreported? YES
At this point the time I had allotted to this was up, so that's what
we have.

Hi John,
I asked my spirit contact,Jim,about the house.He didnt have much to say
but,here is what he said:
"Supernatural?Mike,if you did not talk to me,no answers to dum questions.
This is a possible happening.Seems i did hear ofa woman in Europe who
would bleed as Jesus on the cross.I will ask of this house.A lot happens
in your world".
I added the punctuation for clarity.Thats it.I will be talking with him and
another spirit from a higher plane,tonight so i will ask if they have any
other imformation on it.
