What do you think about the Scole Experiment?

I think that,s a really valid point Jim (admin) telekinesis could well explain some phenomena. Who is to differentiate? I've just sent Tom Harrison's extended book on his mum's physical mediumship to Jim LB. Definitely real phenomena I'd venture but some of it I reckon was telekinetic. Not all but possibly more than they realised at the time especially the movement of brass bells and other heavy items. I do think circles are good but not necessarily home based as the homeowner or medium tends to own the show no matter how chummy everyone is. Circles meeting regularly in neutral venues are possibly easier to sit in and perhaps more likely to succeed sooner. There's the human nature facet with home circles. Just say that someone emerges as a powerful physical medium who isn't the original medium of the home owner.
There's always the chance of jealousy rearing it's ugly head, that can happen in church based physical circles too but possibly the more 'democratic' neutral venue is a more effective forum to encourage development within the group. I'm watching our new church based physical circle with great interest.

Good point, Peter!

Have we, liked the Scole Experiment, opened the door to a dangerous dimension?

Jim

I must say, as re Jo Bradley, that she's published some photos indicative of ectoplasm and transfiguration, not just telekinesis.

Mac, you'd sent me that via a PM on Spiritual Forum. I'm just-now reading your and Peter's conversation here. I'm sure I still have the message with the URL in it. It's getting late here, so I'll check on that tomorrow, and post it here.

Let's hope this works:

It's been spirited away.
Might this be our first apport on here?

Asport! Apport's when it's brought to you: asport's when it's taken away.

You remember: "The Lord giveth, . . . .", and all that!

I remember asportation from the old, common law definition of larceny: "The unathorized taking and asportation of the personal property of another, with the intent to permanently deprive the lawful owner of its use and possession."

Jim

Well I never knew that. Some toe rag at Heathrow baggage handling once asported a big pack of duty free tobacco from my luggage.

Classic example of larceny: meets all aspects of the definition.

So it was asported as in (above quote) "It's been spirited away."

So much stuff went missing from baggage that the airport came to be known as Thiefrow. They cracked down and discovered some baggage handlers were living like Ottoman potentates. Porsches,Yachts, villas in Spain, private schools for their kiddies. And these were minimum wage jobs. Big splash in newspapers a few years ago but all sorted now one hopes.

Isn't it amazing what people can accomplish by working hard, living thriftily, and investing wisely?

Just a quick note'
Do you know that customs have a certain tool to use on baggage they wish to check?
No doubt baggage have the same accessory.
A long narrow tool with a tiny hook on the end.
The hook is inserted into the zip of the suitcase and there you go!
Baggage is open.
Told to me by an ex customs officer.

They say thieves never prosper but I do wonder sometimes...

The NAS dealt with this subject at the time.

There was little if any survival evidence and I had extensive correspondence with Montague Keen about it
