Caution

 

What follows is for mature and mentally stable adults. If you become interested in EVP and ITC, please be aware that you should confer with those experienced in such techniques at the American and Australian EVP forums.

If you decide to try this on your own, be aware that conditions discussed in Operators and Things, by Barbara O'Brien, and in The Presence of Other Worlds, by Wilson Van Dusen, discuss situations that may be involved in receiving communications from the other side of the veil.

With this in mind, read on:

 

For those of you who may have an interest in The Afterlife and the Spirit World, I have a personal experience that is interesting.

This is rather detailed. It will explain some extraordinary recent events that concern my good friend and webmaster Martin Simmonds (aka "Seth")

The first encounter:

I met Mr. Simmonds a dozen or so years back on the Dr. Courtney Brown's Farsight chat. As you may recall, Dr. Brown trained in remote viewing under Ed Dames, and later formed the Farsight Institute in Atlanta, GA for training others in the art which he called "Scientific Remote Viewing." Many people who were interested in remote viewing came to the website, all eager to discuss remote viewing. I was regularly there as "T" and met many people who also wanted to learn the technique.

In my book, MMM, you will read about how I met three individuals: Martin, Gail and Dee. It was during a chat session that an interloper chimed to explain a question that Martin (using the screen name "SETH") posed:

SETH: "If a bird was sitting on the limb of a tree, and decided to fly
away, would the bird fly up, down, or horizontally off the limb?

Suddenly, "FOX" (Joni Dourif of Ed Dames' Psi Tech), who had been lurking, appeared on screen to explain that this was known as ARV (Alternative Remote Viewing), a way to play the stock market. What serendipity! This let to my cancelling a training slot with Dr. Courtney Brown (which was taken by my friend Dick Allgire of KITV4 News in Honolulu). As it was written, I soon found myself training with Major Ed Dames and later, Martin received similar training in Technical Remote Viewing.
For the next decade, Martin and I were in daily contact by Internet Messenger, email, phone and, on a few occasions, in person as he traveled to Hilo to visit.

On one of those trips, he decided to learn about the philosophy of Mokichi Okada. He received his o-hikari amulet which he wore on a neck chain from that day forth. He was interested in healing and helping others.

To mention part of a previous post, Martin agreed to be the webmaster for promotion of my book, Medicine, Miracles and Manifestations. In August 2009, we began working on the site, taking many weeks to tune it up properly. Now you see the result: a very professional Internet site.

As time progressed, on November 25th I received the previously-mentioned email from Mr. Rob Smith in Australia.  I was invited to join the Australasian forum on EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) and ITC (Instrumental Trans-Communication). Prior to this, I had little, if any, interest in EVP and knew little or nothing about it. Then things began to happen and, as a result, I am involved with the study of The Afterlife in a most interesting way, and it has become a part of my second book project on energy healing and consciousness.

I now post a December 31, 2008 IM chat to Martin in which I say:

 

"Get some sleep tonight man as tomorrow is your birthday and may this be the beginning of a peaceful series of years for you.

Trust me, it will get better! May I now explain why?

It has to do with EVP.

I am looking deeply into this for 2009 and the new book. Knowing your technical bent, what do you think?

This is how it began for me, the interest in the afterlife.

Around this time, Martin began to complain of increasing pain in his abdomen. At first, physicians in the U.K. diagnosed it as GERD and put him on proton-pump inhibitors which did not stop his pain. Although the diagnosis was correct (upper GI endoscopy revealed a hiatal hernia), it was not the cause of his pain.

The pain increased.

Unfortunately, in January, after further blood studies and an abdominal CT, the terrible diagnosis was delivered to Martin: colon cancer with metastasis to his liver.

Marten underwent surgery, a resection of the colon tumor, but developed increasing jaundice, ascites and severe pain. I traveled to London, hoping to help. Unfortunately again, his condition progressed rapidly. One day before he died, I asked him if in the future, he would maintain an interest in engaging in EVP research with me?

 

Then, unbeknownst to me at the time, he requested that his wife Svetlana give me his o-hikari amulet after his death. He asked her to keep the chain, but insisted that I be given the amulet.

Those of you who have read my blog posts on healing and/or my book, will remember this amulet as a locket that holds the Japanese kanji for light, "Hikari" and wearers of this amulet become linked to Mokichi Okada (1882 - 1955) who currently resides in the spiritual world. Through this, they channel the spiritual light that was given to Okada when he became enlightened.

 

 

 

 

At first, I was a bit perplexed by Martin's wish for me to have his amulet. The reason came to me later: Martin wanted this to act as a "homing signal" as he knew, and correctly so, that I would have it attached to my neck chain and it would be adjacent to my o-hikari amulet!

 

So here we go:

EVP (electronic voice phenomenon) are recording made with a device such as a tape recorder (explained in Dr. Raudive's tome Breakthrough, or in modern times, a recording is made using a digital IC recorder such as the Olympus DS-4000, the Sony SX models and many others. The integrated chip provides a bit of the random noise that is needed as a carrier for such "voice transmissions" that are felt to come from beyond the veil. Other sources of "white noise" can be helpful, the best of which may be that generated by a waterfall.

Before I could give EVP a try, at the Australian and American EVP forums, I came across another method called Radio Sweep. This interested me. I was put in contact with Ingrid, Jeff and Rob who had extensive experience with this technique.

Steve Hultay, president of Keyport Paranormal, wrote on his website about the "Radio Shack" hack. Jeff (Australasian forum) provided the links. This is a simple method of clipping a wire leading to the circuit board of an inexpensive armband AM/FM radio. This makes the device rapidly scan the broadcast frequencies at a rate that is too fast to really catch words or phrases. This technique, it is thought, allows "voices" to come through from the "other side."

Well, this seemed simple enough. Last week I purchased the radio and a small set of folding speakers from the local RadioShack store and made the modification.

The hack information is HERE

A youtube video of it in action is HERE (Steve Hultay speaking in the video)

It was an easy job. You will need small wire cutters and a small Phillips-head screwdriver:

 

TOOLS

 

 

Next step is to remove four tiny screws and open up the radio.

NB: The fourth screw is under the cover of the battery compartment.

 

It is the bundle on the LEFT that needs your attention now.

 

 

Separate the third gray wire to the left of the red wire and carefully cut it.

 

 

 

 

Ok, I put it back together, hooked it to the folding speakers that I also picked up at radio shack, turned on the digital recorder and held it near the speakers. I wanted to see how it would work and I thought, 'What the heck, let me just record this first attempt.'

I asked a question:

"Hey Martin, is that you?"

This was the question and the almost immediate response followed: (this portion of the recorded audio shown here in GoldWave, a program for audio analysis. This is unaltered (not filtered or changed in any way):

 

 

 

 

There was a definite and clear "Hello!" as a response to this query.

Now I now Martin's voice very well, as does my wife. In addition, I asked three others: Dee, and Martin's wife Svetlana and Gail.

Comments on "Hello"

Jack -
I heard Martin say, "hello" around the 28 second mark. Definitely Martin.
Dee

 

 

 

Hi Jack,

It is very amazing... It is really sound like Martin (where he said Hello)! It is weird!

Best wishes,
Svetlana.

 

 

Dear Jack,

I listened to it twice. I don't know anything about gold wave theory/technique, just what you'd mentioned in a previous email, so I'd no expectations. I've not used the links to find out more so as not to influence my response to the recording.

The first pass through I was startled and shocked to hear Martin's voice and intonation exactly as I knew it say, "Hello." On the second pass I listened quite carefully and believe that the "Hello" was the only instance during the recording where I heard his voice clearly sounding like him. I didn't expect it, so was quite shocked to hear him.
Amazing.

Gail

     As many of you know, I am planning to move ahead with another manuscript. The tentative title will be Beyond Medicine, Miracles and Manifestations: Understanding Universal Energy, Energy Healing, Consciousness, and The Afterlife.

      How this came about may interest you. I happened like this:
On November 25th, 2008, a very interesting email appeared in my Inbox:

 

 

Hi John,

My name is rob smith and I have been on my own remarkable journey over the last 5 years of my life.

My website is http://www.evp-itc-australia.org and you will see that I have had to drastically change my world view preconceptions in light of challenging life experiences that have caused me to re-question my basic assumptions about life.

If you may become interested in pursuing research into EVP/ITC, I would like to advise that a forum has now been officially launched in Australia.

 

    I contacted Mr. Smith and told him that I would be interested in learning more about EVP. I remembered the movie, Frequency. That was over eight years ago, before I developed any interest in the afterlife. I was engaged in a study of the spiritual world at the time, which dovetails a bit with the afterlife, but not enough to generate an interest in EVP.

     After reading at Rob's web site and posts at the Australian EVP Society, a strange series of events unfolded:

1.) I watched White Noise 1 and White Noise 2. For the first movie, I learned in the special features discussions that Mr. Smith had provided an audio EVP clip: "Survival!"

 2.) At this same time in late November, my friend and brother, Clem Willis, was considering a gift for me. An Olympus IC digital recorder which fits in with current EVP recording techniques which now utilize IC recorders as these devices have an inherent chip noise. By this, I am commenting on the fact that some sort of a noise carrier is needed to pick up EVP. Some use crowd babble, others use waterfall noise which may be the purest of all types of white noise.

 When I found out that Clem had the idea to send such a recorder to me, I asked "Why?" I thought it amazing that this was just what I needed for EVP experimentation but I had not informed Clem of my new-found interest in EVP. He said the idea just came to him in November that I would need such a unit as "You have just finished your book and you will be meeting new people and you will need to jot down your thoughts."

I had a Sony IC recorder at the time but the Olympus is far superior.

3.) Also in November, my friend and webmaster Martin Simmonds in London, noticed an increase in a nagging abdominal pain that had bothered him for a few weeks. I shared with him the information on EVP and he too was interested in experimentation with EVP recordings.

4.) I obtained books on EVP  such as EVP and New Dimensions by Alexander MacRae, and the classic book Breakthrough: An Amazing Experiment in Electronic Communication with the Dead by Konstantin Raudive, Ph.D.

5.) In mid January of this year, Martin was given the terrible the diagnosis of a terminal medical condition. I traveled to London to see him.

A day before his death on February 7th, he repeated his intention to continue with EVP experimentation . . . from the other side of the veil.

 

     Now look, there is an interesting and possible relationship between the hearing of schizophrenic voices and EVP recordings. This has led me to once again review Julian Jaynes' theory discussed in his book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Did early humans hear voices in the head which led to conscious awareness?

Are EVP voices part of our consciousness or truly from another dimension called The Afterlife?

     Other writings of interest in this regard are The Presence of Other Worlds: The Psychological/Spiritual Findings of Emanuel Swedenborg by Wilson Miles Van Dusen, and Operators and Things by Barbara O'Brien.

     As my study progresses, I will add more information of interest regarding EVP and I will keep you posted about my experimentation with Martin. A few psychic friends have made contact with him and report he is eager to begin experimentation with EVP.
