From My Viewpoint

Greetings fellow AA-EVP members! We are on our way! Memberships are coming in weekly and ten states and Canada are now represented. I am confident that as others learn about our Association the membership will grow and additional states will be added.

This is Your Association. I believe that strongly. All of us who sit in front of a tape recorder and ask other dimensions to communicate know that it takes the active help of unseen entities to make our efforts succeed. I feel we are in partnership with those In other realities. We can’t do it alone. They have their reasons, as we do, for wanting contact so it takes our combined efforts to make inter-dimension communication work.

It is the same for the AA-EVP. I am not the Association. You alone are not the Association. We, together, are the Association. My role, as I see it, is to try and bring us together, to give our individual efforts some cohesiveness. Great discoveries may be made singly or in a group, but however they are made, they should be shared. Look upon me as a conduit for your discoveries. Pass them on to me and I will pass them on to others through our newsletter. Together we will do great things!

Since one of our reasons for being is, “...to provide evidence of survival and to share results with all,” I feel this means all. Those of us who work extensively in EVP are forced, somewhat by circumstances, to travel alone into un uncharted dimensions of reality. What we discover on our journeys, especially as it relates to survival, is meant to be shared. My personal belief is that although a very small number, comparatively speaking, will ever try to record paranormal voices, those who do should share what they learn with everyone. The good news of survival and the evidence we have accumulated over the years belongs to all. This is why I look upon AA-EVP as a group, not just to help other EVP experimenters but as an out-reach organization to let others know what we have learned. I believe if man can know he survives death in an individual conscious state and that he takes with him the person he was in his physical life, then he will try to live a fuller, more meaningful and useful life on the physical plane.

Reverse Voices

In the spirit of sharing, let me share with you something that was first shared with me by Dan McKee, an AA-EVP member from Illinois, and which has become an important part of my recordings—the reverse voices.

Some experimenters have discovered that they have paranormal voices on the wrong side of recorded tapes. A recording is made in the usual way and upon the conclusion the tape is turned over and played in reverse. If you have recorded from 0-100, you play it back from 100-0. It is at this point that the voices are heard. They are not heard on the forward side of the tape. Take the following steps, one by one.

First: Take both reels off your tape recorder. Turn both reels to the other side. If you have completed a recording on Side 1, you will turn both reels to Side 2. If you have completed a recording on Side 2, turn the two reels back to Side 1.

Second: Put the right reel on the left reel holder and the left on the right.

Third: Give one twist to the tape on the left side, just before it starts to play back. In most tapes the shiny side is now up.

Fourth: Push the play button and the tape will start to play in reverse. When you hear your voice speaking gibberish you will know you have completed the transaction correctly. The EVP voice will be clear.

The reverse voices need sounds just as the forward voices do. I prefer the air-band on the radio tuned to 125-131 MHz.

Reverse voices are not an occasional phenomena. It is rare for me not to have several at the end of a day’s recording. Some experimenters express concern that by playing their tape in reverse their tape will be wrong side out. This is not the case. When you have finished playing the tape on the wrong side, take the two reels off and return them to their original position. Because you have twisted the tape one time, in returning the reels to the way they were the twist is no longer there and your tape is ready for you to begin another recording.

One time when I asked my unseen contacts if they found any difference between one side of the tape to the other, someone replied, “We use either side.” Try turning your tapes over! I have heard many messages of significance there, and it adds more insight and depth to the whole area of taped voices. Let me know your results, and I will pass them on to others. Incidentally, the reverse voices confound our skeptics. Only paranormal entities to whom space, time, and matter itself, have different meanings, from us, would be capable of such a feat!

Air Florida Crash

Mercedes Shepanek, Virginia state coordinator for AA-EVP has taped excellent voices on the reverse side of tapes. She recently sent me a duplicate tape of a recording she made on January the day following the crash of the Air Florida plane into the Potomac River. Mercedes had asked if those on the other side were aware of the crash. At once a babble of voices, some confused, others comforting, responded. There isn’t room to report all of the messages, but some were: “…on that airliner...” “We got a loser.” “Redeem.” “Will you come with me now, you come?” “I’ll do it right away … right in the snow.” “Reach down ...now reach down … I don’t want ‘em all killed.”

The tape is one of the most “chilling” I have listened to, as well as moving. All of the voices are tonal and you can hear the anguish some of those felt who evidently had just died. It was clear, however, that there were helpers standing by to assist the newly dead, as well as others who seemed to be in charge of what was going on. The messages were all received on the reverse side of the tape.

Spiricom

On April 6, George Meek, a retired engineer, inventor and president of Metascience Foundation, announced at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. the development of SPIRICOM. Those attending the press conference were told, “An elementary start has been made toward the eventual perfection of an electromagnetic-etheric communications system which will someday permit those living on earth to have telephone-like conversations with persons very much alive on higher levels of consciousness.”

SPIRICOM is the result of twelve years of research carried out by Mr. Meek and other scientists at Metascience. Using SPIRICOM during the last four years, many hours of conversation were held with some of the “so-called dead.” The most extensive were with Dr. George Mueller, a deceased engineering and mathematics college professor. Dr. Mueller, who gave suggestions for the development of the present SPIRICOM system which is based on multi-frequency audio tones, supplied personal information, such as his social security number, that was later verified.

With the release of the news about SPIRICOM, Mr. Meek also made available to the public a 100 page technical manual which will allow anyone who is electronically inclined to build a similar instrument. There is a ninety minute tape which contains, among other things, some of the conversations held with Dr. Mueller, from beyond the grave, and William O’Neil, a consultant to Metascience.

I have the manual and also the tape which is amazing in the loudness, clarity, and the ability of the spirit communicator to carry on extended conversations with the experimenter of this side. Mr. Meek has released this information at this time primarily in the hope that it will encourage other experimenters to try to duplicate the results in which so far only Mr. O’Neil has been successful, and to further research in communications with other levels of human consciousness.

Maryland State Coordinator Reports

Arabella Roberts, who is the Maryland coordinator for AA-EVP, has been recording paranormal voices since 1970. It was not until 1974, that she read about Konstantin Raudive and knew other individuals were receiving voices through their tape recorders. She writes, “Before I started recording voices, quite often I would hear my name being called and at other times I would hear a whispery, “Hello.” On two occasions my name was called on the clock radio right before the program came on.”

When Arabella decided to try to record these voices, they were at first soft and low, but they spoke clearly enough to tell her she needed another tape recorder. The voices also told her what else she needed in the way of recording equipment. She followed these suggestions and finally a voice said, “Your set’s complete.”

In the twelve years that Arabella has been recording, she has taped many messages that were meaningful to her as well as several friends.

Mirror, Mirror On The Wall

Three AA-EVP members independent and unknown to each other at the time have recorded messages about mirrors. Dan McKee, Mercedes Shepanek, and I have been recipients of this type of message. In my own case, they started sixteen months ago, and since then over a dozen such messages have come through. Last November when I asked what I could do to help them answer more of my questions, a clear voice said, “Try and talking into the mirror.” Several days later, I placed on top of my equalizer, less than a foot away, a small mirror. Many excellent messages came through that day about the mirror. When I asked if this would help them, a Class A voice said, on the reverse side of the tape, “If you use that mode can help you.”

Have any of you received messages about mirrors? If so, please write and tell me. It is significant when researchers working independently receive similar messages, especially if they don’t know anyone else has received them. This type of communication shows a coordination of efforts in another reality, in their attempts to have contact with us.

A Recent Book

From time to time, I will recommend a book I have read and feel you would enjoy and find helpful. Harold Sherman, an AA-EVP member, has written such a book: The Dead Are Alive. Harold, a distinguished psychic, sensitive, author, and founder of ESP Research Associates Foundation, needs no introduction to most of us. In The Dead Are Alive, he describes different ways that show how the dead try to prove to us that they survive death in a conscious state. Several chapters are devoted to electronic communication with the discarnate through a tape recorder.

Odds and Ends

A few words about mailing lists, group meetings, letters to the editor, and so on...

In each AA-EVP NEWS you will receive an updated list of all those in your state who are AA-EVP members. If there is no mailing list included with your NEWS that means you are the only person in your state who is a member of AA-EVP. This might be considered a singular honor, but it is one that I hope will be of short duration. In some of the states, where there is more than one member, there is a state coordinator. This individual has indicated a willingness to help others in his state with advice about EVP if contacted, and to organize area meetings where feasible. It is hoped that there will be meetings on a local and state basis where information can be shared and ideas for future EVP research can be implemented. All of this will be passed on to me by the coordinators and I will publish it in future AA-EVP NEWS. By working together in small core groups your efforts will become more productive. By giving me the opportunity of sharing it with everyone else, the Association and the entire field of EVP will benefit.

I will cherish each of your letters. Please let me know what you are doing, your personal thoughts about EVP, and any ideas you have about future EVP research. Time being what it is, I will not be able to answer your letters individually, but they will be carefully read and considered. Unless you ask me not to, I will feel free to share at least parts of your letters in future issues of AA-EVP NEWS. Since the next NEWS will go to the printer on July 30, the closing date for this type of information will be July 23.

With each NEWS you will receive a yellow flyer. Pass this on to someone who is interested in the Association. We will only be successful, if we are active. Right now we are a seedling. Let us grow to be a mighty oak with many branches stretching out to everyone. Again, together we will do great things!

Always, my best wishes,    Sara Estep
