Spirit Photographs/Thoughtographs

Spirit Photo of Tommy Haldane & his parents (who were physically present) and a picture of Tommy and his dog before he passed to Spirit.



Another question, the answer to which may be of interest to many of you. Lionel

Question: Were the thoughtographs taken using Kirlian photography principles and/or techniques?


Thoughtographs were taken using a normal camera and film and although the Japanese are convinced the forms on the photograph result from the action of the mind of the medium, I take issue with them on this, as did William Hope, the English photographic medium. When the leading exponent of thoughtographs in Japan met Britain’s leading Psychic Photographer (William Hope) in London in 1948 both parties accepted their respective terms described an identical process. It is impossible for me to accept that spirit photographs are produced solely by the medium’s mind. In most cases the photographic medium has no knowledge of any of the people whose faces appeared as ‘extras’ on his photographs. I am satisfied the soul or spirit of the person whose image appears as the extra, is actually present at the photographic session. His spirit body or ‘aura’ as Boddington describes it, is draped with ectoplasm/psychoplasm by the spirit people controlling the session, light is produced (invisible to the human eye but not to photographic emulsion) and this illuminates the figure that is made solid enough by the ectoplasm to reflect the light.

As I tried to explain in my extracts from “Please God,” the mind is the vital factor in all psychic phenomena; the mind, not just of the medium but also of the spirit operator(s). Particle physicists have, I understand, noticed how certain sub-atomic particles behave differently depending upon who is observing them. Also some particles seem to disappear and then re-appear, inexplicably.

A) Is the mind changing the particle’s behaviour?

B) Is the particle being used in both dimensions (physical & spirit) similar to the description from spirit that Dark Matter is subject to gravity in both dimensions?

The mind emanates energy, of that there can be no doubt. The Russians have measured noticeable changes in brainwave patterns when a telepath receives or sends telepathic messages, for instance. I believe the mind is THE most powerful instrument for good and ill, in creation. Not only do we understand a mere fraction of its capabilities, but we refuse to seriously investigate them. The fear of ridicule is paramount amongst the Western scientific establishment (and only slightly less so in the East!) and anything that can be construed as even vaguely connected with ‘the occult’ or ‘new age’ is avoided like the plague. As investigating the mind properly involves accepting the hypothesis that it is not a physical instrument, (it and the brain are not synonymous) it smacks of occultism to the average scientist brought up to believe the brain and the mind are one. For similar reasons, Kirlian’s great invention has been ignored by most scientists, particularly in the West. The Russians had the good sense to investigate it and other paranormal activities under pseudo-titles in order to confuse the politicians and their own reactionaries. Would that more Western scientists were so brave!!
