The Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts: A Riveting Investigation Into Channeling and Spirit GuidesCosimo, Inc., 1. jan. 2001 - 313 sider Mediumship dates back to the Greek Oracles and beyond, but millennia later nobody yet knows for certain what transpires when a medium enters a deep trance. Today, the practice of channeling spirit guides through hypnotized mediums is hotly debated. This strange phenomenon is either dismissed as a dubious parlor trick, or regarded as a form of communication between this world and the next. Many view "the guides" as a source of love and wisdom...but are they? For five years, Joe Fisher painstakingly investigated the claims of channelers and the mysterious voices that speak through them. The Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts is his gripping journey into a realm of darkness and deception. |

Side 17 - tis strange : And oftentimes, to win us to our harm, The instruments of darkness tell us truths : Win -us with honest trifles, to betray us In deepest consequence.
Side 103 - I felt my fingers forcibly contracted and moved to write those words in page ninety, of the first book of warnings; under this influence my body was removed ten or eleven feet, as in page sixty-five of the second part, without any concurrent mixture of my agency; under this influence the respiration of my breath hath, for sundry days, beat various tunes of the drum, sometimes six hours in a day, without my voluntary operation, or thinking of it—nay, sometimes without being able to stifle it.
Side 94 - presence" was strong and friendly. In its company I could not feel lonely, neither could I come to any harm. It was always there to sustain me on my solitary climb up the snow-covered slabs. Now, as I halted and extracted some mint cake from my pocket, it was so near and so strong that instinctively I divided the mint into two halves and turned round with one half in my hand to offer it to my "companion".
Side 275 - It has been shown me to the life, in vvhnt manner spirits flow in with man ; when they come to him, they put on all things of his memory, thus all things which the man has learned and imbibed from- infancy, and the spirits suppose these things to be their own, thus they act as it were the part of man with...
Side 273 - ... are still lingering on the astral plane, and still in close touch with earthly affairs, as (probably) in the above-mentioned case of the mother who saved her children from falling down a well. But it will readily be seen that the amount of such help available must naturally be exceedingly limited. The more unselfish and helpful a person is, the less likely is he to be found after death lingering in full consciousness on the lower levels of the astral plane, from which the earth is most readily...
Side 294 - ... of intelligence and morality. The danger lies, in my opinion, not only in the loss of spiritual stamina, but in the possible deprivation of that birthright we each are given to cherish, our individuality or true selfhood; just as in another way this may be 'imperiled by sensuality, opium or alcohol.
Side 97 - ... to remind us that we are not altogether unwatched, and so encourage us to our highest endeavor, and especially is this true when we most need help, which is almost the same as saying when we most need assurance that our lives are not valueless? At worst, it is true, we fear it might be the devil. But if beneficent, if not diabolic, then what is it, if it is not God, or of God, this eye that hears, this voice that thinks, this heart that speaks, this embodied hallucination that foresees, with...
Side 269 - Veridical communications are received, some of which, there is good reason to believe come from the dead, and therefore imply a genuine communicator in the background" (p. 204). Here it is well to note the meaning attached to the words "control
Side 291 - He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skills. Our antagonist is our helper.
