In the weeks following William’s death,Tianna heard his voice and was comforted,despite a skeptical part of her that insistedthat his presence was simply part of hergrieving and desire for him to still be alive.Then she got a photo of William from the af-terlife and her own life changed forever.

SPIRIT FACES

Continued from Page 34and dramatic results. The variables may boildown to subtle factors of consciousness andvibrational, environmental conditions thatpresently are beyond our immediate ken andability to control. But that’s one of the goalsof Macy’s work—to discover how conscious-ness can have deliberate effect on the mate-rial and on the intersections of dimensions.“The ethereals want us to learn about subtleenergy and how to manipulate equipmentwith our thoughts,” said Macy.

Macy has had his own results: his de-ceased father, Blair, has appeared on severaloccasions. Some famous dead have made ap-pearances, he says, as well as departed lovedones known only to the subjects. Amongthem are Albert Einstein, Edgar Cayce andWillis Harman, former president of the Insti-tute of Noetic Sciences (IONS).

Part of a Big PictureSpirit face photography is a subset of ITC,

which in turn is an outgrowth of electronicvoice phenomena (EVP). In EVP, voices arerecorded on tape or digital recorders; theyare heard only during playback, not duringrecording. ITC involves more high-techequipment, such as television sets, com-puters, faxes, telephones and more. ITC re-search has gone on around the world sincethe 1950s. It gained more public attention inthe 1980s and 1990s, along with near-deathexperiences and after-death communica-tions.

ITC is a partnership of worlds. Higher be-ings, who Macy calls “ethereals,” collaboratewith deceased people, such as scientists, toform communication bridges with the living.Different spirit groups have been at work.

The ethereals are beings of a higher con-sciousness who are beyond form, said Macy.Some might use the term “angel” to describethem, though that label is far too limitingand also has religious associations. ITC, it isclaimed, transcends the boundaries ofreligion.

Overall, the ITC road has not been easy.The “bridges” cannot survive, says Macy, ifhuman harmony is absent, for then there isno resonance with the higher realms. Reso-nance among researchers creates the rightcontact field. In recent years, he laments, in-fighting among researchers has caused someof the bridges to collapse.

The importance of consciousness makesITC a modern alchemy—what some wouldcall the Great Work. By this way of thinking,spiritual alchemy concerns enlightenment,the achievement of a fully integrated andpurified human being. It emphasizes thatsuccess in this endeavor depends upon thespiritual consciousness of the individual.“It’s attitude, attitude, attitude,” agreed Macyabout ITC. It is said that those drawn to ITCresearch seem to have innate skills for it.Macy’s spirit contacts, he says, have told him

he does. “The ethereals can see our thoughtsand read our intentions,” he claims. He hashad to work on his own purification as he haspursued the work.

A Life Turning PointMacy entered ITC work as a way of con-

fronting his own mortality. In 1988 he wasdiagnosed with colon cancer and found thathis faith in the afterlife was not sufficient toconvince him of survival. He needed more—he needed proof. His research led him tomeet leading experts, such as George Meek,an engineer who invented the “Spiricom,” adevice that purportedly facilitated two-wayconversations with the dead. Macy learnedabout electronic voice phenomena (EVP), themysterious imprinting of voices on recordingdevices, which are heard only on playback; heachieved remarkable success with it. He alsomet international leaders in ITC, amongthem Maggy Harsch-Fischbach and JulesHarsch, a Luxembourg couple at the fore-front of research. Most of the best resultswere coming out of Europe and were docu-mented in German.

Macy helped to form the InternationalNetwork for Instrumental Transcommunica-tion (INIT) in 1995, heading up the NorthAmerica chapter. When INIT lapsed into dor-mancy—due in part to internal disagree-ments—Macy formed his own groups,Worlditc.org in 1998. He has worked closelywith ITC researchers, such as Rolf Erhardt ofRatingen, Germany, who in turn has helpedto get ITC data translated into English.

In the course of his work, Macy’s cancerwent into remission and he lost his fear ofdeath. “ITC opened me up to a vast world—the world of spirit—that I didn’t know ex-isted,” he said. “I’m not so immersed in theworld of the material.”

Macy was introduced to the luminatorthrough therapist, Jack Stucki, of ColoradoSprings, who uses it in his practice. Stucki’sPolaroid photos, taken in therapy sessions,sometimes caught spirit faces as an added

The new 40-minute VHSprogram pulls together powerful evi-dence linking Stonehenge, Avebury,Glastonbury and many other Englishlocations with an advanced ancientorder now lost to history. Written andnarrated by Atlantis Rising editor DougKenyon, the video is based primarilyupon the discoveries of Cambridge-trained scholar and author John Mi-chell. The program demonstrates howa mysterious network of perfectlystraight tracks, laid out for hundredsof miles across the English landscape,proves the great advancement of pre-historic science. Michell’s deep insightinto the origins of English culture illu-minates a startling new vision of theroots of civilization.

Beautiful on-location footage inter-spersed with spectacular 3-D anima-tion and a great original music scoremake English Sacred Sites not onlymoving and persuasive but enter-taining as well.

bonus. Macy saw immediate applications forITC and knew he had to acquire one. He con-siders his luminator a gift from “the powersthat be,” the spiritual forces who guide him.He was led to the luminator with the under-standing that he would not use it for para-normal displays and entertainment, but as atool to serve TheProject: to buildsolid evidenceproving the realmsof spirit and to edu-cate others.

Real or Fake?People have been

trying to capturespirit faces on filmsince the mid-19thcentury. Photogra-pher WilliamMumler of Boston iscredited with takingthe first spiritphoto—accidentally—whenhe sat for a self-portrait in 1861.Upon developing thephotographic plate,he noticed what ap-peared to be theimage of a deadperson next to his. Atthe time, Spiritu-alism and communi-cation with the dead were in vogue and spiritphotography shot up in popularity.

But in order not to disappoint clients, un-scrupulous photographers superimposed “ex-tras” or created ghostly effects throughdouble exposures. Many fraudulent photo-graphs were accepted as real by an audienceeager to communicate with dead loved onesor their spirit guides. Sometimes the extrasturned out to be individuals very much alive.

More recently, thanks to the popularity ofghost-hunting books, television shows andfilms such as the 2005 Michael Keaton movieWhite Noise, the swelling ranks of para-normal investigators constantly attempt tocapture images of ghosts at haunted sites.Most images have natural explanations, butsome are anomalous.

The luminator, spirit-face photos havetheir critics. The blurring, they say, is causedby Macy moving the Polaroid camera. Seeingfaces in the photos is wish fulfillment andthe human tendency to search for mean-ingful patterns.

Macy states that all of his spirit-facephotos are genuine, untouched and unal-tered. “Nothing is contrived or faked,” hesaid. He considers the photos proof of otherrealms but leaves others to their own assess-ments, knowing that some will cling to skep-

ticism no matter what. Everyone has theirown “boggle point” past which they cannotgo. However, boggle points do change aspeople are exposed more and more to newideas and data.

For many of Macy’s subjects, the proof ispersonal; they feel no need to convert theskeptical. Debbie Alberti, a professionalsinger in the Philadelphia area who lost herhusband, John, attended one of Macy’s work-shops in the hope of getting a spirit-facephoto, but she was skeptical that John wouldindeed come through. The results were unde-

niable, she said,erasing all doubt.Like others, Albertibecame inspired towork for the ITCcause. “My innerworld has opened upten-fold in my un-derstanding of otherplanes and worlds,”she said. “I have cutout a lot of fear. Mypurpose is to helphumanity under-stand the same.”

Personal proof isimportant, but isnonetheless subjec-tive and thus is dis-regarded by science.Macy seeks to ac-complish is thebuilding of a stablemodel of spiritualreality that will in-fluence the emer-gence of a newscience.

The Destiny AheadIn Spirit Faces, Macy outlines his views

on the different dimensional realms and theafterlife, our spiritual history, our commonpurpose and our intended spiritual destiny.“The soul is a piece of God,” he says, “theSource and Center of everything. Ourcommon purpose is to unite our conscious-ness and God-self through prayer and medi-tation, to bring God’s love and light into theworld through us. Thus we restore ourselvesto Paradise.”

But if humans learn how to use theirpowers of mind, will they resist the tempta-tion to wreak harm? In his book The PKMan: A True Story of Mind Over Matter(2000), Jeffrey Mishlove tells of his experi-ences with Ted Owens (d.1987), who claimedto be able to manipulate the material worldwith his mind. He allowed his anger to affecthis actions and claimed to cause hurricanes,floods and even airplane crashes. Owens saidhe learned his skills from ETs.

Hopefully, the dark side of human naturewill be transmuted and advances in spiritualconsciousness will be accompanied by a col-lective desire to use power for good. Macy isfirmly confident that the spiritual will winout in the end. “Maybe it won’t happen in mylifetime,” he said, “but I can plant seeds.”

NAZI NUKES

Continued from Page 39

How about “Bomb damage,” as in EMP (elec-tromagnetic pulse)?

This startling suggestion rests upon mul-tiple witnesses and evidence. Let’s start,though, with the sworn affidavit of HansZinsser, pilot and rocket expert, interviewedby Allied Intelligence after the War. Quotingfrom the online version of Joseph Farrell’s(Giza Death Star, etc.) astounding Reich ofthe Black Sun: Nazi Secret Weapons & TheCold War Allied Legend, pages 17-18 (http://missilegate.com/rfz/swaz/chapter1.htm):

“His affidavit is contained in a military in-telligence report of August 19, 1945, rollnumber A1007, filmed in 1973 at Maxwell AirForce Base in Alabama. Zinsser’s statement isfound on the last page of the report (Farrell’sexcerpts are renumbered to make his points,but the last one was left in the original):

1. A man named ZINSSER, a Flak rocketexpert, mentioned what he noticed one day:“In the beginning of October, 1944 I flewfrom Ludwigslust (south of Lubeck), about12 to 15 km from an atomic bomb test sta-tion, when I noticed a strong, bright illumi-nation of the whole atmosphere, lastingabout 2 seconds.”

2. The clearly visible, pressure wave es-caped the approaching and following cloudformed by the explosion. This wave had a di-ameter of about 1 km when it became visibleand the color of the cloud changed fre-quently. It became dotted after a short periodof darkness with all sorts of light spots,which were, in contrast to normal explo-sions, of a pale blue color.

3. After about 10 seconds the sharp out-lines of the explosion cloud disappeared, thenthe cloud began to take on a lighter coloragainst the sky covered with a gray overcast.The diameter of the still visible pressurewave was at least 9000 meters while re-maining visible for at least 15 seconds.

4. Personal observations of the colors ofthe explosion cloud found an almost blue-violet shade. During this manifestation red-dish-colored rims were to be seen, changingto a dirty-like shade in very rapid succession.

5. The combustion was lightly felt frommy observation plane in the form of pullingand pushing.

6. About one hour later, I started with anHe 111 from the A/D (probably means “aero-drome,” Ed.) at Ludwigslust and flew in aneasterly direction. Shortly after the start Ipassed through the almost complete overcast(between 3000 and 4000 meter altitude). Acloud shaped like a mushroom with turbu-lent, billowing sections (at about 7000 meteraltitude) stood, without any seeming connec-tions, over the spot where the explosion tookplace. Strong electrical disturbances and theimpossibility to continue radio communica-tion as by lightning, turned up.
