The British Astrological and Psychic Society

The Society was founded in 1976 by Russell Grant, now President Emeritus, and it exists to provide a means of bringing together those actively working in, or interested in, the many different aspects of esoteric, spiritual and "New Age" teachings, such as Psychic Perception, Astrology, Palmistry, Tarot, Numerology and Healing. 

The aspect of sharing knowledge across many different disciplines is the quality which has made the Society  a strong force for the dissemination of esoteric teachings. 

In this context the Society's Consultants and B.A.P.S. 'stands' have become a regular and well known feature at many of the festivals around this country and abroad. 

This has also resulted in a core of Professionals at the heart of the Society, who enjoy an excellent reputation for the breadth and quality of their work. 

Many of the Society's Consultants also undertake lecture engagements at the various education institutes, organizations and B.A.P.S. Branches, as well as running training workshops in their particular discipline (s). Enquiries from organizations who are interested in any of the Society's activities are always welcomed and should be directed, in the first instance, to the National Executive Secretary. Every effort will be made to assist organizations seeking speakers in their area. The Society's aim is to set up Schools running courses in specialized subjects such as Astrology, Palmistry, Mediumship etc. for those who wish to go deeper into subjects without necessarily wishing to practice professionally, but also allowing this possibility to be covered if required. The Society is a member of the Advisory Panel for Astrological Education.

Membership of B.A.P.S. is open to all those interested in learning about the many disciplines embraced by the Society, and to those who work professionally in these fields. Only those who have been a member of the Society for at least six months can apply to become a Consultant Member; all applicants are examined with regard to their competency and professionalism before Consultancy status can be granted. The Society's Consultant Members are required to conform and be a signature to a Code of Ethics and Conduct*. By the act of taking out membership, a member agrees to conform to the Terms and Conditions of the Society as stated within the Society's Constitution which also includes a formal complaints procedure

The Society's aim in presenting this information, is to advise prospective clients of the Society's Consultants and the public at large of what they may expect of a competent professional in these fields, as well as informing applicants for consultancy status what is required of them.

 National Ghost Hunters Society

 

The National Ghost Hunters Society believes that this life is not our only life.©

May the Dead show you what the living cannot see.

We cleanse homes, cleanse battlefields and grounds, release spirits, converse with the dead, find out what they want to know or need ot have done, assist them in crossing over and numerous other things that other groups are still learning to do. We are in contact with the higher planes and those who cross on a daily basis. Scott and I am willing and able to assist and will do so in any way we can; however we both work and have no funding so our works must revolve around our schedule and appropriate planetary alignments.

 World Instrument TransCommunication

I found this site to very interesting, well worth a look at the experimenting done in the past and perhaps try yourself.

Claus Schreiber began to receive spirit images on his TV set in 1985, including the faces of scientist Albert Einstein, Austrian actress Romy Schneider, and various departed family members, especially his two deceased wives and daughter Karin, with whom he was particularly close. His technique, set up by his colleague Martin Wenzel, involved aiming a video camera at the television and feeding the output of the camera back into the TV, in order to achieve a feedback loop. The result was a churning mist on the screen out of which the spirit faces would slowly form over a period of many frames. Schreiber’s spectacular results were the subject of a TV documentary and book by popular radio-television commentator Rainer Holbe in nearby Luxembourg, in 1985. (Information from ITC - History and future)
Claus Schreiber got the advice from his contact partner in beyond via EVP to make experiments with video.

 Morris Pratt Institute

Known during its years as the "spooks' temple," the Pratt Institute soon earned the respect of local citizens and eventually gained national fame after it was constructed by Morris Pratt in 1889. For those interested in Spiritualism all over America, Whitewater became known as the "Mecca of Modern Spiritualism."
 

There is little written concerning the life of Morris Pratt. However, it is well known that after his visit to the Lake Mills Spiritualist Center in 1851, he became very interested in psychic phenomena and the Religion of Spiritualism. Being well educated, he frequently argued with ministers who criticized Spiritualism and on several occasions was evicted from their churches. At one time, he was fined for his controversial actions. Being dedicated to the promotion of Spiritualism, he fully recognized the need for educated workers to present the religion to the intellect of the times.

It is said that "one day his Red Indian guide told him of certain mineral deposits unknown to any white man." He made an investment in a company which later became the profitable Ashland Mine of Ironwood, Michigan. Pratt always said, "If I am made rich, I will give part of it to Spiritualism."

Within a few month's time, he made over $200,000. He did not hesitate in fulfilling his promise by using part of the monies for the benefit of the cause of Spiritualism. In 1889, the Temple was dedicated. When opened, it consisted of lecture rooms, office, a chapel and dormitories. The land and original building at Whitewater, Wisconsin, was deeded to the Morris Pratt Institute.

 Tom Butler's Metaphysical Concepts

 http://ethericreality.aaevp.com/

The Purpose of the Web Site

When Tom and Lisa Butler assumed leadership of the American Association of Electronic Voice Phenomena (AA-EVP) in May, 2000, Tom had written the Handbook of Metaphysics and several novels. Because of Tom's predisposition to discuss metaphysical concepts in great detail, the Butlers made the decision that the AA-EVP would not become a forum for Tom's philosophical musings. As a compromise, Tom has opened this web site so that he can openly discuss his concepts without making them official Policy for the AA-EVP.

Please understand that the statements, essays and articles contained in the Etheric Reality pages are opinions which are always open for discussion. No cosmology or philosophical view can stand as fact without a solid foundation of rigorously evaluated evidence.

 EVP ZONE USA

 

Welcome to evpzone.com/

EVP - Electronic Voice Phenomena/Phenomenon are spirit voices that are said to manifest themselves on audio recordings (from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

We are Larry and Brenda Sides, husband and wife EVP researchers from Southwestern Indiana. The movie, White Noise, intrigued us when we saw it.  And we thought, "Why not do a little investigating of our own?"  So, we began in earnest in the spring of 2006 to record EVP's.  We'll have to admit that we both were skeptics at first, but there is nothing like experiencing it for yourself to make you into a believer!

The majority of our EVP's have been recorded in our bedroom. We've been in our house about two years now.  The first thing that happened, not long after we moved in, was entering our kitchen to find our breadmaker moved away from the wall by about a foot and with the lid up (this occured overnight).  While Brenda was doing dishes, a plastic cup on the sink moved about four inches towards the dishwater.  And one night,  Brenda awoke and the bedroom was pitch black.  Her first thought was that the bulb had burned out in the nightlight, and she quickly got out of bed to turn the ceiling light on.  And as she was about to reach for the light switch, the nightlight came back on.

Where we previously lived, the lights would go off in the bathroom.  And our television would sometimes come on and go off by itself.  This would happen to our stereo, too.  After retiring one night, Brenda was still awake when she felt like someone had punched the side of the mattress near her head. We weren't into EVP's at the other house, or we may have picked some up.

We haven't seen any ghosts or supernatural beings in our present house that appears to be haunted...yet.

Thank you for visiting our website.  Unlike similar sites on the Internet, we will never ask you to pay to view any part of our website.  If you wish to help us with the bandwidth, maintenance costs, etc...we do accept donations of any amount.  Contact us by email. 

Larry and I would like to share with you some of our best EVP collection of  spirit voice recordings from the Other Side.   Listen to our samples- evps.

 Mystical Blaze

 

Welcome to Mystical Blaze! 

The purpose of this site is to examine and explain the facts and fiction of paranormal phenomena and provide resources for experimentation and individual research. 

In our scientifically-oriented society, many tend to dismiss the strange and often spiritual phenomena that occur virtually every day somewhere on the planet.  Admittedly, the unknown can be quite frightening, but dismissing it outright definitely does not make it disappear.  The fact remains that we are spiritual beings, and nobody can dispute the assertion that there are ways to come by knowledge and experience without the rigors of scientific research.  Meditation is a classic example, to name just one.  Unexplainable things also happen every day to normal, intelligent people - they see things, hear things, feel presences, observe phenomena, move objects without touching them, and even sometimes become aware of what the future holds.  None of these things can be explained scientifically, but there is a huge amount of anecdotal evidence that suggests that there is indeed some basis of truth to many of the stories, even some that are quite bizarre at first glance.

Having said that, these pages will cover some very intriguing subjects, from monsters to ghosts, to the power of the mind, so get comfortable, as you are in for a fascinating journey into the strange, unusual, and bizarre.  This is an ongoing project, so please excuse our "Under Construction" pages and be sure to Bookmark, as we add new material almost daily. 

Lastly, and especially with topics here related to the mind and controlling your environment, consider the implications and your own motives before attempting to take  on  such responsibilities.   Most of us are in the middle and do not extend auras 25 feet or control the actions of others.

Kagyu Samye Ling Monastery and Tibetan Centre.

The first Tibetan Buddhist Centre in the West.

     

A place to visit if you are in the area, or just passing. It has grown very much since I last visited on my way to Scotland. I always try to stop off when travelling north. Fantastic atmosphere all around the area of the monastery. They have accommodation if you would like to stay a while, it a very tranquil place that has a magic of its own. When there you, will find it you become a natural blend into the whole ambiance of the place, call in and experience peace, try to get away from the rat race for a while.

Located in a peaceful valley on the banks of the river Esk in Scotland, Kagyu Samye Ling was the first Tibetan Buddhist Centre to have been established in the West. It is a centre for wisdom and learning within the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and is open to people of all faiths and none. You are welcome to come for day visits, short stays or to participate in our meditation retreats and courses available throughout the year.

Founded in 1967 and currently under the guidance of Abbot Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche, Samye Ling is part of Rokpa Trust, a registered charity which has three main areas of activity: spiritual, humanitarian aid, and Tibetan medicine and therapy. Our activity extends around the world through an international network of Dharma centres.

Please visit our courses and retreats pages to get a full picture of the activities available at Samye Ling, where we are open all year round for visits and other activities. We have plentiful accommodation for overnight and longer stays, and a wide ranging programme of activities and instruction. We will make you welcome.

Samye Ling is a monastery and international centre of Buddhist training, known for the authenticity of its teachings and tradition. It offers instruction in Buddhist philosophy and meditation within the Karma Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism. It is also a centre for the preservation of Tibetan religion, culture, medicine, art, architecture and handicrafts.

Founded in 1967 by two spiritual masters, Dr. Akong Tulku Rinpoche and Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, Samye Ling was the first Tibetan Buddhist Centre to be established in the West and was named after Samye, the very first monastery to be established in Tibet.

Samye Ling is home to a residential community of over 60 people, made up of both monastic and lay volunteers. It is not a requirement to be a Buddhist to live here, but residents are expected to live according to the Five Golden Rules. For information about living and working at Samye Ling as a volunteer,

Samye Ling Garden Project
The Samye Ling Garden has gone from strength to strength over the years, and now includes a medicinal herb garden, over an acre of vegetable beds, cold frames and two green houses, complete with flourishing grape vine and fruit trees. Not forgetting our cosy shed built with recycled railway sleepers. At 700 feet above sea level and with reputedly the highest rainfall in the country, the thriving garden effectively demonstrates what can be achieved under such challenging conditions.
All this is relies on help of volunteers and visitors are welcome to participate with all the usual seasonal activities, whether it is mowing the lawns, stacking compost or simply a spot of weeding. If you are interested in learning more about horticulture in depth, follow the links below for information on courses.  You can also contact us at gardenproject@samyeling.org


The Tara Healing garden

The Tara Healing Garden is dedicated to the 21 emanations of Tara and will preserve and propagate medicinal herbs native to Tibet that can be cultivated in the climate of the Scottish Borders. Each of the 21 emanations of Tara has the power and the qualities to overcome 21 different kinds of physical and mental disease. Therefore 21 different herbs connected with these different aspects will be planted in separate petal shaped beds around the central statue of Tara. This statue was consecrated at 7 o' clock in the morning on the seventh day of the seventh month of 2007.

The completed garden will be 40 yards in diameter and will be designed as a twenty one petalled lotus, each petal consisting of a raised bed built in stone, with broad paths radiating from the central statue in each of the four directions. Each lotus petal will be planted with medicinal herbs whose colour corresponds to the mandala of Green Tara; and the remaining meadow planted with trees, shrubs and an orchard of native fruit trees.
 

Fruit and Vegetables

The Samye Ling Garden produces organically grown food for the Centre, the local community and visitors. We try to keep the garden a pleasant place to work and relax but the plot is based on maximizing yields and a wide selection of fruit, and vegetables are grown. The main crop vegetables are potatoes, leeks, beans and peas, turnips, beetroot, salads, chard and marrows. Inside the large green house there is an established grape vine that trails over the arches of the roof and reliably produces 500 bunches of black desert grapes each year. Underneath are beds of tomatoes and cucumbers, peppers, garlic and herbs. There is also a fig tree, a nectarine and an apricot. In the peach house is a ten year old tree trained along the roof trusses which produces beautiful blossom and dozens of fruits each year. This greenhouse also has beds of parsley and basil, and will eventually lead into the new workshop which is under construction.


Herbal Produce

For years the gardens have provided fresh herbs for the kitchen and medicinal plants for use in traditional preparations. These include apple mint, peppermint, marjoram, lemon balm, sage, thyme, vervain, elecampane, valerian, sweet cicely, lavender, borage, St John's wort, yarrow, comfrey, chives, sorrel, chamomile and calendula.

Our herbs are hand-picked and dried each summer under the supervision of qualified herbalists and there is a range of teas, ointments and lotions available in the shop.

New Developments

New Workshop Greenhouse

The workshop has been modelled on the old shed and has a simple eco-design, i.e. green oak post and beam, and reclaimed slate roof construction. Construction of the external frame is nearing completion thanks to the hard labour of committed volunteers donating time and expertise, and to grants from the EU funded Leader Programme, the Big Lottery Fund, the MacRobert Trust and private donors.


The Green Tara Medicinal Herb Garden

The Green Tara Garden for medicinal herbs has been designed by Dr. Akong Tulku Rinpoche and is located in the meadow towards the old farm. Viewed from above this will be a 20 petal lotus flower built in mortared stone with a diameter of some 30 yards. The magnificent 15 feet high statue of Green Tara at the centre of the garden has been finished and the first quarter section is being conditioned to be made into beds for herbs.

Courses

Our courses are lead by Tony Freck, an experienced and knowledgeable tutor with over twenty years experience in production horticulture. Courses consist largely of practical work to give you the hands-on experience of traditional organic methods, with time to go over the theory, and handouts to take home.


We offer a variety of courses:
