KELVIN CRUICKSHANK TV’S SENSING MURDER MEDIUM For the medium however, this work can often be filled with frustration and more ridicule as society expects final resolution, often failing to see beyond this the difference this work does make.

To bring about a

resolution or arrest is not the responsibility of the medium as many would think, but rather to bring about more healing and understanding to a very difficult and painful set of circumstances.

Kelvin shares with us more insight into this area of mediumship, as he speaks with inSpirit’s Kerrie Wearing.

Currently living in Auckland New Zealand, Kelvin grew up in Waikatu seeing Spirit as a child. Knowing that this wasn’t quite normal, it wasn’t until later in life that Kelvin decided to pay more attention to these experiences. iS:What was the turning point in your life for you to start focusing on your abilities?

The difference between memory and knowing is the pain we feel.

A memory of someone who has passed into spirit is a memory because you feel the pain of loss. If you were too small to remember, then told of someone who had passed into spirit it becomes a knowing, (without felt pain.).

Both can be seen, heard and felt.. A knowing makes it easier, it is clearer than a memory because there is no felt pain.

Much of their communication comes from very clear and vivid dreams that they seem to remember when they awake. Messages from loved ones and guides can be relayed in this dream mode because our minds shut down and allow this to happen.

THE HISTORY OF SPIRITUALISM –PART ONE

BY ANDREA KALDY

Sitting in one of my classes last year listening to the speaker talking about the history of Spiritualism in general, I realised, there is very little information available on this movement that is relevant to Australia.

While we are bombarded with all sorts of media from all over the world, I find that they have very little relevance to the lives of Australians in general.

Just look at movies, tv shows that are the carbon copies of British or American based concepts, pushed by the media on all levels of society.

If I asked people today what they know about the dawn of Spiritualism in this country, would they be able to tell me anything else, other than it came from Europe-mainly England-in the 19th century. While this is true, to better understand who we are today, I feel we need to acknowledge those who came before us and ploughed the way towards where Spiritualism is in Australia today.

their own devices to find spiritual comfort. With mainstream religions no longer able to satisfy the spiritual needs of the people, they were beginning to look for alternatives.

This provided an opportunity for an amalgamation of different cultures and faiths.

The spiritual movement now in full swing in the States and in the UK, the wave finally reached this country and took a hold. Surprisingly enough we can list some very public figures of the time as its supporters, including members of parliament. By the late eighteen hundreds several societies were formed in different states with swelling memberships and a diverse interest. Some were investigating spiritual phenomena, others were educating the public about it and some were a platform for practising mediums. Public support for the movement and the awareness of its purpose was growing. With members of high society heavily involved, it was

gaining credibility as well. It is somewhat unfortunate that it seems as if today we have taken several steps back in this aspect.

There are very few public figures that will put their support behind a spiritual cause due to fear of ridicule by their professional peers and the public alike. That is only one of the reasons though. With political correctness being taken to a new height every day, for someone being in the public eye it is very dangerous to voice an opinion on such a controversial subject and only few are brave enough to do so. Who can blame them? The public is quick to crucify anyone that steps out of line and dares to take a road less travelled.

Watch this space to learn more about the history of Spiritualism in Australia in upcoming issues of this magazine.

It could not have been easy, given the fact that organised religions brought from the continent were still very popular and ingrained in society.

Although Spiritualism was ever present throughout history, it was subdued due to the church’s iron hand, especially during the dark ages.

Although that grip has since loosened, centuries of social conditioning means that spiritualist practices are still frowned upon by a lot of people.

With the formation of the federation growing closer, Australia was taking in more migrants than ever, meaning that the cultural make up of the country was changing at a rapid rate.

The gold rush was drawing masses in not just in America but in Australia as well. People were coming here with new dreams, to start new lives and a beginning of a new age was imminent. With remote communities hardly accessible, the church’s grip had broken and people were left to Page 18

PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR—ATTILA KALDY

BY ANDRE A KALD Y

Attila Kaldy is the director and founder of UFO-PRSA - UFO and Paranormal Research Society of Australia. He has been running this organisation for the past 8 years. He has extensive field research experience and has published many articles on the paranormal in Australia and overseas. He has produced a number of documentaries on UFOs and the paranormal and is the co-ordinator of two research divisions.

How does somebody become a paranormal investigator?

Anybody who wants to invest time into research should become familiar with the basic methodologies used by orthodox investigators. By that I mean reading reports, books, internet articles written by respected researchers who have spent significant amount of time in the field. Some of the more reputable organisations such as the Society of Psychical Research (primary members include para-psychologists) can provide you with a lot of basic information to get you started. Obviously there has to be a level of motivation and interest, commitment and the ability to be critical with one’s work. If you are looking at establishing a team environment good leadership skills are an important element to run a successful group.

Is there a minimum knowledge base that you should have to do your own research?

A basic interest and understanding in science and psychology is a good foundation. I found that my interest in physics is very helpful when it

comes to some aspects of an investigation.

When you are researching you should be able to differentiate between what may be psychological, natural and paranormal phenomena.

Attila Kaldy

What aspects of research are there?

www.ufosociety.com.au

paranormal

First of all, we must understand the meaning of paranormal. Anything that falls under the category of “paranormal” means that science cannot give a measurable understanding of a certain event.

Because the list of such phenomena is extensive, I’ll only give a few examples. UFOs, ESP, alleged ET contact, poltergeist activity, cryptozoology, levels of hauntings, possessions EVP, just to name a few.

What equipment do you use the most?

The most popular equipment is the video camera. These cameras are at times modified to improve visibility on some levels of the visual spectrum. Also an integrated circuit recorder (IC recorder) is frequently used together with passive infrared sensors and anything that can measure temperature variations.

What sort of results are you looking for?

We aim to collect physical evidence that we consider to be irrefutable, such as video footage of phenomena, where all other natural explanations can be discounted. Also to be able to categorise detailed descriptions of the astral sphere and to pinpoint an appropriate audible frequency range where direct communication with the other side would be possible.

How do you ensure that your research is unbiased and based on facts?

The benefit of having a group of individual people is that anything one would consider to be suspicious in nature can be scrutinised by the team members. Only when all “rational” explanations are exhausted do we assume that we are

President of Paranormal Research 2nd Division

http:// www.paranormalinvestigators.com.au

dealing with something that science considers to be unnatural. Unless we have irrefutable evidence of what we are dealing with, we can only assume and theorise but not declare.

How do you source your locations?

Through word of mouth, reports directed to our organisation or sometimes research.

What sort of preparations do you do before an investigation?

If we are investigating a reported case, we assess the data that is given to us to establish the category of possible haunting. The reportee is then interviewed. The team is assembled and visit the sight prior to any investigation. The witness is then interviewed again in person, so we can examine body language and to establish credibility of witness. The surrounding area is then examined externally and internally, including a base-line reading of all areas affected. Once the base-line and all other surveys are complete and if we feel that the situation warrants further investigation then we assemble our equipment and begin monitoring. The operation of all equipment is thoroughly checked before each investigation to ensure reliability and accuracy.

Do you follow a certain routine or you just take things as they come?

Because most cases are unique the approach will also vary as such. The setting up of the equipment is pretty much standard procedure with positioning of motion sensors, locked Page 19

on cameras and IC recorders. Once the investigation is under way, we just take it as it comes. We have to react to the circumstances that we are presented with.

We also use profile reconstructions and attempt to identify the character reported to be seen, whether missing or deceased.

Paranormal Investigators Course

How is basebase-line testing important?

One of the most important parts of the investigation is to be able to rule out or identify any form of natural influence.

Base-line testing is usually done at lease 3-4 times before an investigation. The reason for that is to confirm whether or not specific areas are electronically quiet or loud during specific times of the day.

That is then compared to the times of any events that are reported by the witnesses or any occurrences during an investigation. Base-lining is not exclusive to electromagneti interference, it can also be thermal variations or infrasound.

An Introduction to Paranormal Investigations: This course will provide participants with a basic to intermediate understanding of paranormal research.

The course will cover a broad range of studies in the paranormal field and how to distinguish between natural phenomena and potentially paranormal phenomena. Participants will be shown several methods of approach and an opportunity will be available to conduct an investigation at a haunted location (limited numbers). Please note that the investigation is only available for those who complete the initial course.

The course will run for a full day on 30th August 2008, and the investigation will be conducted on the same night.

Is there a simple exercise you can suggest for someone who hasn’t done an investigation before and wants to have a taste?

A good starting point is to obtain some basic equipment such as an IC recorder or a dictaphone and a digital still camera or even a cheap laser thermometer. Some of these items can even be purchased from Ebay. A good beginning would be to sit in your lounge room alone in total darkness and attempt to records Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP). Don’t be disappointed if you record nothing for the first few attempts. Generally with EVP patience is a virtue. If you feel that you are ready to spend some money on a ticket for a ghost tour, take your equipment with you and rotate them as much as you can. When you come home and analyse your data be sure to a critical approach and don’t be quick to jump into conclusions. If in doubt, have the data assessed by an experienced paranormal investigator.

Why is it important to document your findings?

You want to able to go back to your previous findings and filing and categorising the information collected will give you more knowledge and understanding of what you are dealing with from hind sight. You can also compare your information with other researchers and the more information you collect of a single case, the more you will be prepared for your next investigations.

BERRIMA’S JOHN LYNCH & ACOM PART TWO

BY KYLI E BAXTER & KERRIE W EARING

The time John has spent with us has been filled with learning for all of us, as well as fun. With many moments of laughter, hearing from a spirit with attitude is not what is usually expected. He is quite adept at trancing, so the transfiguration energies for students to experience is quite amazing. There have also been those moments of sadness when real healing has taken place for John, times when he has felt comfortable enough to share his pain and life which was filled with a lack of love, only to have him experience love when we’ve helped him reconnect with his grandmother in Spirit.

allowing this so-called “low-level entity” into our midst. How was this for our highest and best would be the question. And yes, I was concerned in how John would behave. How unpredictable would he be? So, I was cautious until we got to know him a little better. My job was to trust in what my team of Spirit Guides were unfolding, knowing they would have the best intentions for our spiritual development.

YOU TOO ARE A MEDIUM.

Unravel the mysteries behind your ow n p s y ch i c & m ed i u m sh i p d evel opmen t a s Mediu m a n d Founder of The Australian College of Mediumship, Kerrie Wearing steps you through it each issue and answers your questions.

Un derstanding Energy Basics When sta r ti ng to understanding the workings of your psychic abilities, it is important to first start with understanding Universal Energy.

It is through this energy that all psychic communication transpires and emits from one soul to another, being in this world or beyond.

Let’s cast our mind back to our high school science lessons and what we were taught about energy.

We were taught that every object is made up of atoms and molecules (groups of atoms linked together). It is the structure and density of these molecules which determine whether that object is gas, liquid or solid. This includes the chair I’m sitting on while writing this for you, the coffee I’m also drinking too; in fact, each and every one of us, including our souls and our bodies. We were also taught that energy doesn’t die, it just changes form. Hence, water (liquid) becomes ice when its environment is changed to freezing temperatures (solid) or it evaporates through the air in water vapour (gas) before building in clouds to become water again, as rain.

As I like to keep things plain and simple, this is about as scientific as I will get. For those interested in more detail of a scientific nature balanced with the Spiritual, may I recommend Hands of Light, by Barbara Ann Brennan.

Bearing this in mind, it means that you and I are composed of atoms and molecules of varying structures and densities.

Scientifically, we

already know that our body contain water, and can even rejuvenate and heal itself. Now extend that belief to the existence of the Human Energy Field, otherwise known as the Aura.

This aura, or as I like to call it, your soul, comprises of more atoms and molecules which vibrate at a rate so fast that most people are not able to see that part of ourselves.

This is the part of you that you are now learning to connect to and communicate with. Your Aura, simply put, holds all your feelings, emotions, experiences and infinite wisdom built up throughout your journey. When using your psychic abilities, a two way communication process is happening between the two parties involved; soul to soul communication or Aura to Aura.

You as the Psychic extend your ener gy fi eld, making a connection to the soul of the sitter (your client). It is then that the information exchange begins. For those who are highly sensitive, this exchange can happen even without you realising it.

This leads me to explain the use of energetic protection. As a sensitive, you will encounter many times when you will come across energetic conditions which may not feel appropriate for you.

It can happen when you’re out shopping; when you’re at a friend’s house; when you are reading clients; it could even happen with this development circle.

this course.

May I suggest the following prayer “Divine Spirit, as I seek to raise my vibration in an effort to better understand myself and those around me, I ask for your loving protection so that only love and understanding permeate my being.”

To enhance this prayer visualise some loving Angel wings being wrapped around you.

Exercise to feel Energy This exercise is very simple and designed for those of you who are not experienced with working with the universal energies. For me, this exercise always validates the existence of these unseen energies.

Have fun with it and enjoy.

•

Sit somewhere quiet where you will have a few minutes of undisturbed peace.

It is good practice to become aware of this and to develop an understanding that sometimes after working psychically, in whatever form, you may feel tired, drained or emotionally depleted. This happens for a variety of reasons, and you will learn to ascertain when it is appropriate to allow this to happen and when it is not.

Energetic protection is a very personal issue, and should you find that you wish to use this type of protection, then you should start develop to an appropriate prayer and visualisation to assist with this. I do r ec om me n d u si n g e n er g eti c protection during your attendance of

Close your eyes and imagine a brilliant ray of sunshine pouring over you. So powerful, it warms you right through.

•

Once you feel warm, bring your two hands together in front of you, about 15cm apart.

Until next issue, with love

Imagine this ray of sunshine pouring out of each hand filling the space between your hands like a brilliant round ball of energy; a miniature sun, if you will.

•

You may find varying forms of reactions in your hands to the energy. Feelings such as warmth, tingles, cool breezes, heaviness or pressure, are some of the different ways each one of us feel the energy.

I, myself, most commonly feel tingles.

•

Once you have the yellow energy working in your hands, please spend a few minutes playing with your sun.

Move your hands around to feel the difference when you manipulate the energy. Can you move them closer?

What happens when you try to turn one in a clockwise direction and the other anti-clockwise?

After spending a few minutes doing this, we are now going to change the colour of the energy ball.

To do this, imagine that the brilliant sunshine has given way to a crisp blue day with a waterfall flowing over you.

As this waterfall makes its way through you hands and into your ball of energy, pay attention to the subtle changes your ball will make. Does it change temperature? Does it feel heavier or lighter? Are you now feeling warmth, tingles, cool breezes, heaviness or pressure and is this different to before?
