On this page a few subjects which bear relationship to either parapsychology or New Age:
PARANORMAL VOICES
Independent direct voice phenomenon (click for further info)
All through history there have been reports of voices and sounds heard at a distance from the person(s) who heard them. St.Paul on his way to Damascus heard a voice "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?...And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no man."(Acts 9:4-7). But also in less dramatic circumstances were voices heard, often in the vicinity of children - the so-called poltergeist phenomena.
Finally such voices have been heard in the seance room of mediums in the past 150 years in the wake of modern spiritism.
These voices should not be confused with taperecorder-, or Raudive registrations on tape. These are very short and require a trained ear to detect and interpret. Direct voices can be heard as any other sound and recorded. The Woods/Greene collection contains such recordings of direct voices. A few are provided as sound-clips.

A fiction as the scientists say by lack of hard evidence? Which are the convergent arguments in favour of personal survival after death? Out-of the-body-, near-death- experiences, deathbed visions, apparitions, poltergeist-manifestations and mediumistic communications are amongst them, recorded all through history. In fact hardly ever did a culture exist that denied the idea of personal survival after death. For many, the Chinese for instance, ancestor worship was part of daily life.

OCCULTISM IN THE WEST
The New Age is hardly novel! It is rooted in age-old traditions and mystical experiences. In 1875 Mme. Blavatsky founded the Theosophical Society to explore these ancient truths. However, it all worked out differently. For further reading on the pioneers of the New Age:
