What Some Earlier Scientists And Pioneers Discovered About Spirit Communication

The etheric waves or vibrations which permeate material creation far exceed this physical universe in their speed of vibration and number of vibrations. The physical universe is in a world of etheric vibrations, which again is in a World of vibrations which cease to function according to any human measurements, namely, the Spiritual World.

The physical universe itself is made up of molecules which are suspended, as it were, within certain parameters of etheric vibrations. These etheric waves which contain these material atoms vibrate between 400 to 700 billion times a second; and there are between 35,000 to 65,000 waves to a square inch. The parameters described here for the physical world only constitute a relatively insignificant part of the complete etheric world.

Etheric waves continue to increase in vibration far beyond the physical, and only the eyes which belong to the spiritual body are able to see the life which is beyond the perception of the physical senses, i.e. sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch. The spiritual body also has a much more sensitized system for experiencing. When the senses of the spiritual body are never used they become insensitive.

Many previously sceptical scientists have studied the phenomena of communication between physical life and intelligent life which exists in the etheric world, and also that World which transcends and encompasses both the physical and the etheric worlds, namely, the Spiritual World. They have made studies and investigations into the existence of unseen inhabitants of the World beyond the material, and also into the communication between non-physical life and those in the flesh; and these investigators have made positive statements to confirm that they must admit to the existence of the phenomena.

Dr. R.J. Tillyard, F.R.S., Entomologist-in-Chief to the Commonwealth of Australia writes in a letter to Sir Oliver Lodge, dated 11th August 1928, concerning his investigation into the communication between people or beings in "Spirit-life" (spirits or souls) and beings bound by the flesh (humans):

"...It seems to me quite impossible to find a single flaw in this wonderful result...but my object is to record scientifically that they do occur (communications between this world and another), that they are part of the phenomena of Nature, and that Science, which is the search of Truth and for knowledge, can only ignore them at the deadly peril of its own future existence as a guiding force for the world...

"...These findings are, for me, the culminating point of all my psychical research. I can now say, if I so desire, 'Nunc Dimittis', and go on with my own legitimate entomological work..."

Arthur Findlay, a shrewd financier, Scottish Magistrate, and part-time physicist writes after 14 years of scientifically investigating communication between the two worlds...

"...I have required a knowledge of economics and mathematics in my business life, and, outside of this, my special interest has been in physics. I have therefore approached this subject in a matter of fact way, and have obtained information which makes the phenomena (of Spirit-communication), to any unbiased person, both reasonable and natural..."

"Time and Tide" writes concerning a study of Mr. Findlay's research...

"...Difficult though the acceptance of the evidence may be, Mr Findlay's temperate and solid research smashes the standard objections with all the destructive finality of the Nasmyth Hammer of his native city of Glasgow. Mr Findlay is a notable witness, a leading man in a city of no small renown for hard-headedness and sound sense, a witness not to be denied..."

Edward C. Randall (an attorney and businessman from Buffalo) writes:

"...I say with all the strength and force at my command that there is continuity of life; from this source has come great knowledge, facts beyond the learning of men, nor found in any books, and it is my privilege to give them to you..."

Similar positive results concerning the phenomena of intelligent and sentient spirit-communication have been found and claimed by: Sir Oliver Lodge, Sir William Barrett, Lord Raleigh, Sir Archibald Geikie, Sir J.J. Thompson, Professor Gilbert Murray, Professor William James, Dr. Hyslop, the French physiologist Richet (who devoted 30 years of his life to study the phenomena), and Professor Henri Bergman.

Acknowledgement of the phenomena by some from other walks of life is given by: W.E. Gladstone, the Earl of Balfour, Bishop Boyd Carpenter, Archdeacon Colley, Rev. G. Vale Owen, Sir E. Marshall Hall, Lord Tennyson, W.T. Stead, R.L. Stevenson, Andrew Lang, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Florizel Von Reuter.

The phenomena cannot be denied from an uninformed position, and judgement must be suspended by those who have not sought to make this truth their own with genuine and sincere investigation, unless, by the same method of judgement, one who has never studied the inspired works of Shakespeare should say that he did not write the words...

"Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to Heaven."
