The Direct Voice

The direct voice is most certainly one of the most impressive forms of mediumship
whereby the people present at a sitting, the sitters, are able to very clearly hear Spirits
speak aloud in their normal voices, exactly the same voices as they were known by in
physical life, and to engage in long conversations with them. This was particularly
reassuring for the relatives of the deceased ones as they then knew beyond any doubts
whatsoever from the accent, style of speaking, phraseology, words used and information
received that they really were in direct communication with their loved ones speaking to
them in person from the beyond.
As with materialisation, the direct voice involves the use of ectoplasm. Spirits draw
ectoplasm from the throat chakra of the medium and to a lesser extent the sitters, and then
form the ectoplasm into an theric voice box through which they are able speak from
the Spirit side of the channel, manifesting in the physical world as a Spirit voice. This
theric voice box functioned by making use of the ectoplasm to reduce the higher thought
vibrations of the Spirits communicating through the voice box to a much lower rate of
vibration that could translate to physically audible sound.
These Spirit voices were very often so clear and loud it was exactly as if speaking to a
physical person in the same room. Although direct voice sittings needed to take place in
darkness as with materialisation sittings due to the sensitivity to light of ectoplasm, the
sitters could sometimes easily observe the whitish coloured ectoplasm exuding from the
throat chakra area of the medium. The ectoplasm could also be very clearly observed and
photographed by means of infrared viewing e!uipment that did not affect it.
"rom the Spirit side of the channel the ectoplasmic voice portal could be seen as a large
glowing disk of nergy into which they would speak. #t should be noted that Spirits do
not actually physically speak in the absence of a physical body, but rather communicate
by means of a pro$ection by the %ind of thought towards the voice portal which then
translates the resultant thought vibrations into a clearly audible voice by means of the
theric ectoplasmic voice box created from the ectoplasm of the medium and sitters.
&ne of the most extraordinary direct voice mediums was 'eslie "lint, ()((*())+ whose
permanent sitters recorded literally thousands of voices of discarnate Spirits on tape over
the course of many years. ,hen these discarnate Spirit voices first started appearing to
'eslie "lint he was often expelled from cinemas and theatres as the voices were disturbing
the !uietness of the surroundings, and of course people had absolutely no idea of who the
voices were or where they were originating from.
The voices channelled by 'eslie "lint during his numerous and usually recorded sittings
ranged from the Souls of the deceased relatives of the sitters, through to people who were
once famous on arth who came to deliver important messages, usually involving
evidence for the continuity of life after physical death.
&f course there were the usual groups of sceptics who believed 'eslie "lint was a fraud.
'eslie "lint often therefore agreed to conduct sittings in the presence of researchers who
had carte blanche to carry out more or less whatever experiments they needed to in order
to prove or disprove that 'eslie "lint and the Spirit voices were indeed genuine or
otherwise. #n one such particular experiment as reported in the -sychic .ews edition of (+
"ebruary ()+/, 'eslie "lint was physically tied to a chair with sticking plaster stuck over
his lips thus sealing them together completely, and with bandages placed over his mouth
over the sticking plaster. The researchers observed the Spirit voices still arriving with their
usual volume and clarity. There were twelve people present during that particular sitting
and all agreed the voices were most definitely not those of 'eslie "lint but were in fact
rather those of the Spirits who had arrived in order to communicate with the sitters. At the
end of the sitting everything previously applied by the researchers, including the ropes,
the bandages and sticking plaster were all still totally intact and completely untouched,
$ust as they were when originally applied by the researchers.
The information received directly from Spirits by means of the direct voice mediumship
of 'eslie "lint was not simple vague information of the type that could easily apply to
anyone, but was rather extremely specific and accurate as you would expect to be the case
coming directly from the Spirits who were in possession of and conveying the
information. &ne such typical example involved an airman who was killed in action
during the second world war. This airman originally appeared at a sitting being attended
by 'ord 0owding, giving his name as -eter ,illiam 1andford 2ite. The Spirit asked if
his parents could be contacted at an address he supplied, and be invited to attend a sitting
where he would be present for them.
The parents duly accepted the invitation to attend the sitting with 'eslie "lint and for
nearly forty minutes the airman communicated with his parents in his own clearly
recognisable and normal voice. 1is parents were able to confirm everything he had said
was totally true and accurate in every respect. Among the things he spoke of to his parents
during the sitting was a $oke about buying an Alsatian dog, that his mother had put
photographs of his grave in .orway in her bag that very morning, that he liked the cherry
tree in the memorial garden they had planted for him, that his bedroom had not been
changed in the six years since he had died, that he had not liked the wallpaper in his
bedroom and that his father was still driving his car although it was too small for him.
3nfortunately, sceptics still tried absolutely everything possible in order to attempt to
discredit 'eslie "lint, $ust as they had previously tried to discredit many other well*known
and totally genuine mediums. #n ()4( 'eslie "lint had this to say about this situation5
,hen # first began to allow myself to be tested # was naive enough to believe that if the
tests were successful the scientists and researchers who had carried them out under their
own conditions would proclaim to all the world the truth of life after death. All too soon #
learned the hard way that many of those who call themselves researchers have immutable
values of their own which preclude belief of a meaning or purpose in man6s existence or
the possibility of a life after death. Their concern was to disprove the reality of my voices
and they would postulate any alternative, however far*fetched or absurd, sooner than
admit the implication of their own successful experiment.
Some of the more ludicrous explanations put forward by some of these so called
researchers included suggestions the voices were not real but rather the result of some
hypnotic power accompanied by mass hallucinations. This was later disproved when a
throat microphone was attached to the throat of 'eslie "lint during a sitting such that the
slightest sound made through his larynx would be magnified enormously, while the
researchers continuously observed him at the same time through an infra*red telescope.
,hen 'eslie "lint proved them wrong yet again, the best suggestion the researchers could
come up with is that he must have the ability to talk through his stomach.
&ne impartial, open*%inded expert who did investigate 'eslie "lint very thoroughly
indeed was -rofessor ,illiam 7. 8ennett, professor of electrical engineering at 9olumbia
3niversity in .ew :ork 9ity. As engineers are usually regarded as highly practical and
level*headed people, his evidence was widely regarded to be of particular value. -rofessor
8ennett had this to say of his own personal experience during a 'eslie "lint sitting5
%y experience with %r. "lint is first hand; # have heard the independent voices.
"urthermore, modern investigation techni!ues, not available in earlier tests corroborate
previous conclusions by indicating the voices are not his. 8ut to be thorough, one should
consider the possibility of live accomplices. This suggestion became untenable to me
during his visit to .ew :ork in September ()4<, when, in an impromptu s=ance at my
apartment, the same voices not only appeared, but took part in conversations with the
guests.
The direct voice Spirit voices channelled by 'eslie "lint are still available as recordings
available on the #nternet website established in his name and for his work, and anyone can
$udge for themselves both the authenticity of the voices and the value of the information
received.
