Theos-Talk Archives (May 1996 Message tl00148)

Dear Dan,

I printed out those whole 14pp, because I thought it would be an important
historical document, & I wanted to read it carefully. It was really
disappointing. What was your purpose in sending that much misinformation
about the (to us) rather unimportant subject of mediums and "Phenomena"?
skimming through, it said mesmerism is evil. I was aware that stuff like
that was frowned upon in the past. It's being used today by therapists,
(even though I would never allow anyone to mesmerize me) & people are quite
curious as to how it works. The article says that spiritism was being
welcomed by those who pioneered socialism. How is that supposed to jive?
What do politics have to do with mediumship? That's like witches fly on a
brooom. Nobody can prove it logically. It says people who use it are
immoral. Well, I'd say the're amoral rathr than immoral. I think lots of
mediums cheat, but they mostly think they're helping people, so it's not
intentional. I find this whole article rather of the caliber of those who
described witches & non-believers in the Middle Ages. Flapdoodle!
They don't know very much what they're talking about. Just reminded me - the
very important topic of live people communicating via ESP is completely left
out. Probaby quite unknown to the writers of this article. I wish you'd
explain to me why you took the trouble to put that on theos-l.
