The Case Study

By -
  
The current series of blog articles derives from my life-changing 1995 investigation into what at the time had been described as a contemporary 'talking poltergeist' case in Oklahoma.  I eventually decided to candidly relate in a documentary style what had occurred during the expedition by presenting interview transcripts, journals and photographs in a nonfiction book, Testament.  As somebody who has long been an avid reader of paranormal case studies, such a format constituted the type of unadulterated chronicle that I would have found preferable as a prospective reader.

After investigating the bizarre and complicated haunting in Oklahoma centering on the predominant manifesting entity known as 'Michael' and returning home to my condo in the Echo Park neighborhood of my native Los Angeles, the phenomena didn't cease as expected and soon even escalated in scope.  I found myself trying to better understand the strange symbols, synchronicities, occasional visionary occurrences and other phenomena that were happening. 

My decision to continue interviewing people in Southern California required a new approach to daily living.  Although I'd previously considered myself as being somewhat introverted, I began spontaneously and continuously expressing myself verbally with a tape recorder as a means of keeping a record of my experiences.

In retrospect, it seems necessary and hardly surprising that the print version of my 1,094-page book Testament garnered scant media attention upon publication in 1997.  The status quo and superstition are highly profitable commodities throughout the mass media, impacting the reporting of news encompassing metaphysical topics; and influencing storylines of movies, TV shows and novels.  The lack of interest in my work enabled me to devote myself to continuing my metaphysical research without many distractions.  I wanted to more fully understand the topics involving me.  Something I've learned is that the annals of transcendental communication help one to place Earth life in perspective.  Authentic communicators from the ascended realm have consistently brought the message that in the next world there are no secrets.
 
Other people might be living a daily existence without being aware that the spiritual awareness of others may be based on experiences quite different to what are considered commonplace.  Starting with the verbatim Centrahoma interview transcripts and audio journals that comprise the beginning portion of Testament, a chronological account of the unexpected series of events that occurred in my life is offered, simultaneously showing how the published case study developed.

Similar to myself, my collaborators in Oklahoma have described experiences that are unprecedented in some ways. Considering the questions arising from the first Bell Family poltergeist haunting still widely known as the 'Bell Witch' case, it became essential to let everything divulged in the interviews become known in Testament without redaction.

Feedback in Three Steps

By -
© 2003, Coert Visser As a manager you have just led a meeting. John brought forward a proposal to implement a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. He did this convincingly and enthusiastically but seemed to leave very little room for his colleagues Michael and Peter to respond. You want to talk to John about this...but how? Feedback is essential Giving and getting feedback is essential. The fact is, no matter how hard we try, we don’t always automatically perform excellent. We need information from others to know what is expected from us, how others perceive us, what we do well and what we should do better. Sometimes others have more expertise or skills, they look at your behavior from a different angle, and they may have access to different information. When feedback functions well in an organization, people are interested in signals about the effects of their behavior and they constructively correct each other. Fantastic! But now the less rosy daily practice.….. Feedback ca...

Esoteric Aspects of Edgar Cayce's Life

Gladys Davis, Hugh Lynn Cayce (right) and Harmon Hartzell Bro were among the members of this A Search for God study group meeting at A.R.E. Headquarters at Lake Holly in 1950.  This photo is from Edgar Cayce's Photographic Legacy (1978) compiled by David M. Leary. Some of Edgar Cayce's psychic (channeled) readings diagnosed and prescribed for people's physical ailments and disturbances.  These were described by Thomas Sugrue in There Is A River (1942) as presenting "cases, hundreds and hundreds of them, wherein the treatments have been faithfully followed, and the predicted results have been achieved." When information that was sought wasn't successfully forthcoming (such as locations for lost treasure or oil wells), Cayce and his associates were baffled.  These circumstances are chronicled in the book The Outer Limits of Edgar Cayce's Power (1971) by Edgar's sons Edgar Evans Cayce and Hugh Lynn Cayce.  One chapter, "Readings for...

Case Profile: Edgar Cayce

By -

Edgar Cayce (1877-1945) became known as an American mystic and "psychic diagnostician" healer following hypnotic sessions where he would go into a trance and his body would be used as a channel.   The communicating Intelligence would speak in plurality, usually beginning a 'reading' with a statement such as "We have the body . . ." and finishing upon saying "We are through for the present."  I first learned about Cayce through reading Jess Stearn's biographies Edgar Cayce — The Sleeping Prophet (1967) and A Prophet in His Own Country — The Story of the Young Edgar Cayce (1974).  The first biography to be written about Cayce is There Is a River: The Story of Edgar Cayce (1943) by Thomas Sugrue, whose book heightened public understanding about Cayce during the final years of his life.  Sidney Kirkpatrick's Edgar Cayce: An American Prophet was published in 2000. Since 2005, I've occasionally studied portions of the extant 14,306 Cayce...
