"Transcommunication (EVP) is not a hobby for people who can't cope with the realities of life."

The Beginners Guide to Electronic Spirit Communication

Welcome to the exciting and challenging world of Electronic Mediumship. 

Electronic Voice Phenomena - EVP – refers to that process by which humans who have transitioned the physical plane - use sound and image to communicate again with those on this plane - through the static and 'white noise' of modern electronic devices.

By modern estimates, there are nearly seven billion audio and video devices in homes around the world ... and every one of them is a potential portal to the afterlife!

For over two decades now, an expanding worldwide movement has been gaining momentum among a growing number of people who believe in EVP and who themselves have captured extraordinary messages from the realms of unseen worlds.  

These transmissions, often recorded using the background noise of simple household devices, force us to question our basic notions about life and death and seem to confirm what many of us have dared to believe: we now have the means for the dead and other entities to communicate directly with us.

You are now a few simple steps from becoming a fully fledged electronic medium! 

Soon you will be recording and communicating with the dynamic multidimensional world of spirit – a world that permeates and interpenetrates this physical reality.

And you will no longer need to spend time or money seeking out ‘mediums’ and ‘psychics’ to claim ‘otherworldly’ contact with your Uncle Joe or Auntie Nellie for you will be able to communicate directly with your spirit friends.

First, you will need to buy, beg or borrow an Audio Cassette or IC recorder.

In preference to using mini audiocassette recorders - which often have high levels of background noise - I recommend a Sony IC Recorder ICD-B16 or Sony ICD-B100 Recorder - for they offer a low background noise factor and a excellent recording quality which helps to lessen the distortion factor.
These days, having an established ethereal liaison group, I record directly by microphone into my laptop.

I suggest you record for about 2 to 3 minutes per session.

Do not be alarmed if you discover an increased amplification of entity input at the beginning and end of the recorded voices session.

A recommended and proven audio software for simple audio editing is GOLDWAVE http://www.goldwave.com/ which is currently $A49.95 and can be downloaded as shareware.

How to record audio files into your computer ?

Your recording device needs to have an inbuilt headphone or Line Out jack.

This Line Out jack will need to be connected to your computer’s Line In jack with an audio patch cord with a 1/8th inch stereo jack for the computer and whatever size required for your recorder.    The IC recorders usually use a 1/32 inch mono jack.

After attaching the 1/8th inch stereo lead from your IC recorder earpiece outlet directly into the Line In / Microphone input on your computer – you can proceed to transfer your recorded session to Gold Wave.

Once you have completed a forward replay run, save the file under ‘date’ and ‘time’ - then reverse the file, listen again, and save - as often entities will use the full recording opportunity offered in the recorded session. 

You also require a software program called DENOISER  http://www.speechpro.com/  which can be downloaded as a free Demo with a limited 30’ second editing capacity.  This is used if background noise levels in your initial recording are unacceptably high after removing initial noise with Gold Wave.
That is all the Computer software you will require to begin your excursion into the multidimensional communication.

Now you are nearly ready for your first EVP recording session – but first a discussion about ATTITUDE.

Attitude is everything.

Attitude reflects the way we express our worldview to others, and it is our worldview that we use to build our personal reality.

People ask about the dangers in seeking to communicate with our friends on the other side.      
   
Some have expressed great concern that they might leave themselves open for attack from angry entities or that they might inadvertently invite a disruptive force into their home.

The words, “demon” and “low levels” have come up more than once.

A better term might simply be “less spiritually evolved entities,” as this is what they are, however, “low level” seems to be the term that is most used and understood.

Harold Sherman, in an article written for Psychic Observer & Chimes, recounted a friend’s distressing experience in trying to reach his wife and running into what he called a “low grade discarnate.”     

When the man lost his temper and told them to go away, it only seemed to increase their interference.
Sherman listened to some of the recordings and called it pure drivel.

Sherman came to the conclusion that the mental attitude of the experimenter played an important part in what was recorded.

He wrote,

“It is as though low grade intelligences come in on the emotionally disturbed ‘wave length’ of the operator. Unless the mind is prepared through prayer or a spiritually motivated meditative period, one is apt to invite the wrong kind of communicants.”

Some researchers, who have occasion to address the public about these phenomena, will include a strong warning that there are potential dangers and that the prospective EVP and ITC experimenter should use caution.

 Others seem to wonder what all of the fuss is about because they have never had a problem.

In the summer 1988 AA-EVP News Journal, Sarah Estep ran a brief review of the CETL newsletter written by Jules and Maggie Harsch-Fischbach in Luxembourg.

The couple believed that experimenters could attract positive as well as negative contacts.
They quoted a comment made by pioneer researcher Dr. Konstantin Raudive.
Raudive said,

“Transcommunication is not a hobby for people who can’t cope with the realities of life.”

I believe that working with EVP and ITC is fundamentally safe.

It is difficult to find a single example in which an individual has been harmed because of their communication across the veil.

Yes, people have occasionally been “bothered.”

It is known that the time we spend carefully listening too hard to hear EVP examples seems to enhance our clairvoyant and clairaudient senses.

For many people, this is exciting and something they want.

To others, it can be disturbing.

This enhanced sensing has been reported to fade if one takes a break from EVP or other development work.

In the heyday of Spiritualism, people sat in groups trying to communicate with the other side. One of the important benefits of these groups was that they provided a safe place for mediums to develop. When people were working on, say for instance trance development, they could feel open and safe, in that they had an experienced medium to assist them if they should run into some sort of trouble.

By the way, many Spiritualist churches still have development groups and classes and we would recommend these or any other good development groups or classes to EVP/ITC experimenters.
Many EVP experimenters work alone and do not have the benefit of a group of more experienced EVP researchers. We wish that everyone who experimented with EVP had a strong metaphysical or spiritual background, because it is important to have some basic knowledge about the other side and its workings.

Since the experimenter is part of the bridge between those on the other side and the EVP or ITC equipment, it is important for the experimenter to have a strong sense of self, accompanied by a positive attitude and spiritual outlook on life.

In the AAEVP 1989 newsletter, Sarah Estep, Founder of the American Association of Electronic Voice Phenomena, wrote,

 “Obviously, no one starts taping, automatic writing or playing with the Ouija board, thinking they will become possessed or obsessed. But it can happen. As I wrote on page 196 of Voices of Eternity, The difficulty is in ascertaining who is susceptible… I am not trying to frighten people who are thinking about beginning to tape…”

 Working in the field can bring some of the most rewarding, enriching experiences of your life.

It would be amiss of me, however, not to caution you about the darker side of psi. Experienced tapers will tell you not to believe everything that comes through. You have your liars and exaggerators on the other side, as you have here. The more they realize they are getting you upset, the more they will continue. Human nature being what it is, we may imagine certain messages are there, when in fact there is nothing.

The important thing though is, if a person believes a message is on tape, that person will respond to it for better or worse.

“If you, at anytime, think you are in contact with low level entities, leave your tape recorder. Remain in control at all times.

Anyone can sit down to tape. It takes much more inner strength to pull the plug and walk away.”
Negative thoughts, such as fear or hate, are powerful forms of energy, and this energy can accumulate and do harm.

It is as if this negative energy is an anti-particle that neutralizes positive energy and dissipates it from our use.

We also believe that negative energy is not as sustainable as positive energy because it is not consistent with the fundamentally positive nature of reality.

Thus, as entities grow towards spiritual maturity, they become less able to sustain fear or hate.
I would advise people who are fearful of the unknown or who might have trouble keeping the voices in perspective, or have a history of delusional behaviour or schizophrenic tendencies - to pass on EVP.

My concern is that a person's fear might tend to be amplified by a close encounter with an entity. The entity could be perfectly friendly, but because of fear and because the encounter is so fleeting, a fearful person might see the encounter as a reason to be more fearful.

Experimenters are responsible for creating a positive contact field for the other side.

This includes one’s expectations.

We are ultimately responsible for our own life, and who and what we let into our environment and consciousness. Protect your personal environment and maintain a field of positive energy around your home and all that you do. 

We want to make sure that people do not feel that something is wrong with them if they do encounter one of these less spiritually educated entities. Many researchers have had this happen. If you are one of them, you are not alone.

Discarnate entities are attracted to people who seem to be supportive of them in some way; someone who might be sympathetic about their plight.

So, if you have attracted an angry entity, you are not necessarily an angry person.
For example, if the angry entity is afraid to go on because of some dastardly deed committed in a past lifetime, and you are knowledgeable about why the entity should not be afraid, then it may very well be attracted to you as a potential source of guidance and support. (i.e. Mary Ann Winkowski – the  Ghost Whisperer)

It has been made clear, via just about all of the forms of spirit communication that Spirit entities are always with us.

They may be in our home at any time, whether we sense them or not.

A group Tom and Lisa Butler have communicated with; the Imperator Group has told them that they do not watch us, and that they only come to us when we call on them or when we need help. We are certain that this group is not earthbound.

It may be that earthbound entities do watch us. With that said, we believe that EVP researchers can request privacy and can tell earthbound entities to go away if they are being bothersome.

An entity certainly does not have to be in your home to initiate EVP!

It is common for an EVP experimenter to ask for help from the other side to improve communications. To our friends on the other side, this is probably equivalent to asking them into our house for a visit. If you are seeking phenomena—and you are if you work with EVP—then we would think that you would greet these visitations as a new form of communication. What a wonderful proof!

These entities are people!  In time, they could be you!

How would you like to be treated?

They deserve to be treated with respect.

If you are not living in a haunted house and if you find that you have entities in your home, odds are this is because you have called them in some way, or they have a need to communicate with you.
After all, many of us have come to EVP out of a need to communicate with one of them.

Can you imagine how frustrating it might be if entities in your house believe you can help them communicate with a loved one (perhaps with you) and all you do is request that they leave?
You have the right to tell them to go, but you also have an opportunity to greet them and find a way to communicate.

Now YOU are ready for your first session:

The below may be useful at the outset for those whose mindset involves a Higher power or Religious background:

A MEDITATION/PRAYER OF PROTECTION:

Universal Presence – I request the guidance and support of all spiritually advanced energies that have my eternal interests at heart.
 
I seek the support of those souls who will positively inform me within this activity and support my growth toward enlightenment.

Now acknowledging their support - I open my mindto those entities who seek to communicate with me.

Turn on your recorder in an area with little distraction - with a fan or water noise in the background - and with an attitude of possibility and openness - and it will begin to happen!
By doing this you are beginning to open your mind possibilities (like mediation) within your brain’s limiting rationality. 

Speak clearly - and articulate your words out loud - when you begin to record.  
Ask brief questions – and be prepared to be surprised on replay to hear your words modified - and meanings altered - by your discarnate contacts.

When you like to use the computer to record voices DIRECTLY using a microphone, the following facts may be useful.

The better the recorded quality of the voices, the more disk space required.
 
Gold Wave allows you to make the following adjustments before recording.
 

So welcome to the dynamic personal world of inter-dimensional contact - and the exciting world of possibility and opportunity known as EVP.

May the Guiding Angels of the Higher Realms support you in your work so that you become a positive and guiding source to all those whom you communicate with – both in this world and the next!

Blessings and Peace,
