Seance Materialization Phenomena (with Photos) — Ten Evidentiary Books

logo for Metaphysical Articles blog index of subjects and titles of articles with links;
below is shown Plate XXI from Clairvoyance and Materialisation (1927), English translation of L'Ectoplasmie et la Clairvoyance (1924) by Dr. Gustave Geley (1868-1924)
 
This blog article identifies ten books presenting descriptions and photographic evidence of the materialization phenomena associated with the 'divine dispensations' of Spiritualism as profiled in previous Metaphysical Articles blog posts.  Eight of the ten books may be read online and links are provided with each title.  It is a travesty of journalistic ethics and practices that today this data is completely ignored, overlooked or misunderstood by contemporary news media favoring corporatocracy reporting agendas.

Careful study of the photograph indicates the density and transparency of the 'ectoplasm.'  The texture of this substance appears to consist of millions of minute particles suspended in space . . . The tube-like protuberance from the side of the head is the umbilical link with the medium from whom the ectoplasm is drawn. The medium was in trance behind a black curtain."

I decided to write this article following the 'tremendous shock' that I experienced and reported in my latest journal blog entry, as follows.
 
Friday (October 21)

I've been having dreams every night as perhaps what is usual for me.  Most of them have been experiences in the 'dream state' that seem like strange amalgamations of memories reconfigured into bizarre new scenarios.  Last night something occurred that has never happened to me before.  I quickly scrawled a note at around 1:30 a.m. when it took place because I'm accustomed to past dreams completely fading from my memory if there's nothing to remind me about them later.  I wrote:

Comedian grabbed my throat

The shock that occurred is that when this happened I actually felt as if I was being choked hard by a hand firmly squeezing my throat.  I immediately became awake, grabbed at the hand and noted the time while contemplating possible rationales of making sense of this otherwise unthinkable incident that conflicts with nearly everything I've ever read or experienced involving 'psychic' or 'supernatural phenomena.'  And I know the extent (and simultaneous brevity of communicated 'messages') of my experiences encompassing psychic manifestations, solar plexus vocalizations and 'super conspicuous Synchronicity' might well be unique as I've never read about anything closely similar to them.

I mentioned:

At this moment I'm recalling all the black and white photographic plates of plaster casts made utilizing 'Paraffin [wax] Moulds of Human Limbs (especially numerous hands) that materialized during trance seances of Polish medium Franek Kluski in Clairvoyance and Materialisation (1927), 'A Record of Experiments' English translation of L'Ectoplasmie et la Clairvoyance (1924) by Dr. Gustave Geley (1868-1924).

This summer I changed the description for this journal blog to the following:
 
These journal entries are intended to chronicle daily interactions with my personal 'guide/s in Oneness'/'Guardian Angel' as representing the 'God Force' ('Michael' or 'M') manifesting continuously around me in diverse and unlimited ways.  When I began writing journal entries in early 2021, I had no idea that this was going to provide a personal documentary account of the shocking emergence of the 'God Alter Ego' usually called 'The Devil.'  Each living organism is an individual aspect of 'M.'
 
Some of the insights that may be gained from reading the journal blog is (1) that it may be detrimental to draw simple conclusions as one learns about specific case chronologies involving 'paranormal,' 'supernatural' or 'miraculous' phenomena; and (2) there is a 'Higher Self' involved with oneself at every moment.  Every conscious living organism is a unit or iota of the omnipresent spiritual Oneness that has been described in transcendental communication case chronologies with such terms as:
 
The God Force
All That Is
The Only One
Universal Source / Source of all Life
Akashic Records
Spirit
Universal Mind
Divine Principle
Creative Power
Cosmic I Am

Any human being who isn't aware of these metaphysical aspects of life is 'insane' from a spiritual point of view and therefore the consequences of this ignorance are manifested as the horrors and miseries occurring on our physical Earth plane of existence.
