FAQ Frequently Asked Questions Concepts Part 2
Question: How do we know who is speaking? We recorded three messages in the same male voice. We could not recognize the voice, or what the messages might mean. Why would he be contacting us? How can we find out who he is? And why are the messages so ominous...?
Answer: We like to see people test these phenomena for themselves. While it is relatively easy to record an EVP, it is quite another problem to understand who is speaking and why. First I should say that the examples at atransc.org have been selected from hundreds of recordings members have made. Even the Butlers might record many times before finding an utterance which is suitable for sharing with others.
Most EVP are words spoken by strangers. Tom Butler compares a recording session to calling a distant telephone booth. Someone may answer, but when they do, you have only what they say to tell you who it might be. Sometimes a friend answers, but most often it seems that a passing stranger picks up the phone.
We think we look like energy to our etheric communicators. Rather than the imagined ghost looking into our room as if through a window, we think a better model is a field of energy in which each of us is a nexus of brightness. Others probably "look" at us by turning their attention to us, and when they do, they probably see us as we see ourselves. Right now, I am sitting in my office typing on the computer keyboard. I am dressed to go shopping and the day is exceptionally cool for this time of year. I see myself as this. We think my "light" tells others my self-image, and it is through my personally visualized reality that others can know who I am. When we are perceived, we can also perceive the perceiver if we would take the time to learn and do so. So this is a personality-to-personality exchange of information in the etheric. The physical exists as our local construct and has little to do with the communicators. That is the model that seems to explain what we are learning via our etheric studies.
When you record, you express a desire for communication, but when communication occurs, you or an interested observer must transform the information into a physical form. We think that the actual voice formation occurs in the recorder as the transformation of available audio-frequency energy under the influence of a weak telekinetic signal. This is initiated by the communicator but actually implemented by an etheric personality in a physical body.
The communicator may have a memory of a language from a previous physical lifetime, but it could be one from anywhere in reality and is not restricted to a person who once lived in the physical. Because it is brought into the physical as a concept that must be translated into physical words via your personality, it is expressed in a language we understand and in terms which agree with our expectations. That is why we think EVP are virtually always in a language we or an interested observer understands, and why people who think the entities must be stuck in haunted houses record messages that confirms their expectation. The actual communication may come as a concept such as "I would like to talk to you" but be recorded as "help me." The Butlers would probably record the message as "communicate with me" because they do not think the entity is stuck anywhere.
So in answer to your questions, The communicator may be simply responding to your call for communication. You could ask who he is but like the distant public telephone, he may not be passing by again. The message is in the eyes of the perceiver. What you quoted does not sound ominous to me. The communicators do not at first always understand who we are or where we are. They are also in a larger community. No telling what the personality experienced on his end of the circuit, but it is possible that "It's mine" was directed at another personality as "I will respond." We see a lot of "They can see us" messages that are clearly directed at other etheric personalities. And don't forget that, when you transition, you will probably continue to construct a local reality. The etheric personality might actually answer a telephone because that would be a familiar act.
Question: Can my friend on the other side help me make money at the horse races?
Answer: One of the ways skeptics dismiss any form of communication across the veil is by asking why mediums are not all rich by winning the lottery or picking the right horse in a race? We believe the answer is that the communicators live in a world that is much more conceptual than ours. While they experience life as senses, feelings and comprehension, we experience life as interaction with things and learning to distinguish kinds of objects. The concept expressed as an impression of color and beauty might come to us as a flower. In fact, what flower we sense as a medium would depend on what we pull out of our personal library of images. The communicator tries to covey the essence of flower because we think that is how they experience reality. We turn that essence into a specific yellow rose.
The communicator also senses our physical world through our senses. We are pretty sure we are just energy to them, and that all of the communication is our etheric Self communicating with their etheric Self as thought balls or gestalt packets of energy containing what we or they intend. If we see ourselves wearing a red shirt in a room with a recorder in front of us, they will be able to reflect that information back to us in an EVP message, but not because they see us; it will be because they see through our etheric Self how we see ourselves.
So our impression at this time is that they see potential futures as energy, but probably through our senses. Your friend may be able to pick the right horse because he may be able to "sense" the potential to win from the handler, but if the probable winning horse is named "Lone Gambler," the EVP might say "bad habit." The habit is one of the concepts associated with gambling. So in other words, your friend would talk to you via impressions and images that are conceptual and your mind would turn them into concrete terms. It could happen, but it would be a long shot for you to pull up the right translation for the right horse.
Question: Is there such a thing as an "earthbound" or "stuck" ghost?
Answer:
It is clear that our time and distance has little to do with our communicators. They can contact us anywhere, and the next moment contact someone in a different part of the world. From this it is necessary to consider that "hauntings" experiences in one location do not necessarily tell us anything about a "local ghost." One factor here is that expecting to contact the local ghost makes it more likely that an entity with some association with the location will make contact. (if you are looking for "Uncle John, you are more apt to contact him than you are to contact a person who lived on the other side of the world.)
Trans-etheric influence is dependent on available energy of a form often referred to as the energy of the biofield or auric field. This is a subtle energy that seems to be an intermediate form between the etheric and the physical, but on "this side" of the interface. We do not know a lot about this energy from a "factual" view, but it is clear that it is necessary for communication, it accumulates and remains in places and is produced in abundance by the expression of extreme emotion. Psi function research conducted by parapsychologists also gives us information about this energy.
Haunted locations appear to be haunted because they are places of long-time human occupancy and/or the expression of extreme emotion and have accumulated this energy. The locations are haunted, not because there is a local ghost, but because they are a place that is easier for discarnate people to cause an influence into the physical.
People are the conduit for this influence, and we tend to allow "through us" what we expect to experience. Thus, the influence is real, but how it is experienced is often how the person expects, so that a fearful person will tend to have a fearful experience.
There is some evidence of non-responsive ghosts, which may be a form of imprinted residual energy. What these are is not clear, but we expect them to eventually fit into the hypothesis, or in turn help us refine it.
It is true that many reports suggest people may be confused and refuse to finish their transition, but we think this may be more our not understanding the dynamics of transition. Part of the process of transition appears to be to move from the physical to an energetically "near-physical" aspect of reality to allow a process of becoming accustomed to not having a physical body. We think that virtually all trans-etheric influences including EVP and hauntings effects occur from this energy state. After this process is completed, the personality apparently moves on to a new venue for learning which is like reincarnation into the physical, but more probably into a different aspect of reality. All of this is speculation fueled by comments from the other side such as, "I have to move one," and then the cessation of contact.
Based on the Survival Hypothesis, trance-channel (also known as trance-mediumship) communication is thought to be a process of the personality associated with the trance-channel stepping aside so that a new personality can temporarily assume control of the voice (sometimes the entire body). The communication in this case is usually not as "local" and we think it is from an entity who is "outside" of our normal path of education.
The important point in all of this is that these movements are probably better thought of as changes in attitude, rather than actual changes in place. The Cosmology of Imaginary Space might give you a sense of this. We know that some of the EVP are actually the thought of physically living people. It may be possible that a personality could be experiencing a lifetime, such as in this physical aspect of reality, communicate via EVP to someone else, and communicate as a "wise old spirit" via a trance-channel--all at the same time and unaware of doing so. The operative influence here is where the personality's viewpoint is at the time.
So the answer is that suicide is a local taboo, we judge ourselves and not going on does not avoid this and there is no "here" or "there," but rather, a change in agreement with energy which is accomplished with a change in viewpoint. We do not know with any certainty that this means we have stuck people hanging around.
Question: Is it possible I recorded Apache?
Answer: ATransC does not have translation support. One of the reasons is that virtually all of the reports thus far have shown that the EVP depends on the practitioner or an interested observer to translate the etheric intended message into a physical utterance. This would be similar to how a mental medium must "embody" a message by telling the sitter what he or she senses in terms of the medium's worldview (using his or her mental library of language and images). So the bottom line is that, at least statistically, EVP is expected to be in terms of what the practitioner (or an interested observer) understand. So in principle, if a person only speaks English, Geronimo would speak to that person in English, albeit with the kind of accent the person would expect. Current speculation is that physical mediumship and deep-trance mediumship depend on basically the same trans-etheric processes thought to be in EVP formation. Yet, there are well-documented instances of messages being spoken in an unknown but later understood language. This would suggest that there is more to the story and the language rule for EVP should be considered a guideline and not a "rule." A possible explanation as to why a medium might bring in a personality speaking an unknown language and an EVP practitioner statistically will not, might be that a deep-trance mediumship is trained to mentally "step aside" so that the communicating entity can use the medium's physical faculty to communicate. An EVP practitioner or an interested observer who are the mediums in EVP, are seldom in a mode of consciousness in which their personality has stepped aside in any meaningful way. However, some people are able to reach a deep state of meditation even as they are doing something physically active, and it may be that one of your team is a strong channel for communication, thus simulating the situation seen in séances. So after all of this explanation, I will have to say that no, ATransC does not have the ability to translate the utterance, statistically it is more likely English poorly spoken with a heavy accent, and yes, it possibly could be Apache. It would be good to learn what you decide, and if you determine that you have recorded Apache while none of your team speaks Apache. The statistical rule of thumb can only be evolved with input from practitioners such as yourself.
