Photo from "Phenomena of materialisation" by Baron von Shrenck Notzing 1923. Ectoplasm coming from mediums mouth. Despite it is known that the work is a fake, some photo from it is really creepy, dont you agree?

Let us not forget that we here have to deal with a science of to-day and yesterday, which is still groping for its utensils, ways, methods, and aims, and that in the midst of a night which is darker than the earthly night... Maeterlinck, "On Life after Death" #quote #literature #history #science

"Why should we bear with an hour of torture, a
moment of pain,
If every man die for ever, if all his griefs are in vain,
And the homeless planet at length will be wheel'd thro'
the silence of space,
Motherless evermore of an ever-vanishing race..."

"O we poor orphans of nothing—alone on that lonely
shore —
Born of the brainless Nature who knew not that which
she bore !" - Alfred Lord Tennyson poem "Despair"

Besides the obvious economical reasons, there is the decline in the value set upon existence and the doubt whether it is well to
summon new beings as sensitive as ourselves into a world which to each fresh generation seems to loom more awful in the obscurity of its meaning and of its end.- F. Myers

Seabrook wrote about an interesting experiment that he made with Aleister Crowley - limit for a week all his verbal communications between them with only one word "wow". After a short training they realized that a lot of information could be passed without proper words.

Турлыгин сообщил в докладе «Об излучении нервной системы человека» о своих опытах по изучению излучения, которое наблюдалось при сеансах бессловесного гипноза у гипнотизера. Детекторами этого излучения служили натренированные субъекты, которые должны были падать при воздействии гипнотизера. #СССР

It is really difficult to find works of one of the pioneers of soviet telepathy school Turligin in the internet, same as any links to Moscow biophysics lab, where he was working. The only trace available is pdf copy of 1940-s biophysics scientific magazine with some of Turlugins experiments #history

The existence of telepathy was proved by such scientists like Behterev, Vasiliev, Kazhinsky 1000 of times. However, for public it does not exist. The reason for it lies in the society. We rely on the wall of our ego. If it falls - poor people could transfer their pain directly to the wealthy.

Time for some art. I always liked this art of a simple token mtg card called "citizen". With city ruins on the background It has such an ominous vibe.) Artist Michael Phillippi 2018

It is tolerably certain that after a few more centuries the number of first-rate discoveries must constantly lessen, while the number of men equipped and eager for discovery will constantly increase. - F. Mayers Science and future life

It is occasionally possible for an experimenter to produce by
effort of will a hallucinatory image of himself in the perception of a friend at a distance, without any previous suggestion or anticipation that such an image would appear. - Mayers, Science and future life. #quote #literature #bizzare

"Телепатическую способность можно воспитывать, тренировать и развивать. Я присоединяюсь к мнению Циолковского о том, что такая способность нужна для прогресса человечества уже теперь. Она будет полезна в наступающий век коммунизма на Земле, в век развития путешествий человека на другие планеты"

Первый постом на bluesky хочу напомнить о поистине замечательном советском ученом Леониде Васильеве. Леонид Васильев – родоначальник советской парапсихологии, чьи эксперименты по телепатии по своему качеству и описанию по-прежнему являются недостижимым образцом чистоты и искренности
