I am continually amazed at how much stuff I haven't heard of. I've read so much about EVP and similar goings-on, but have never heard of the depth of experiences with ITC described in your article. I'll be exploring those links intensely. Thanks for bringing this to me!

This is a video that's been on YouTube for a while, but never fails to impress. It documents a paranormal phenomenon that occurred during the filming of this car commercial in Europe. Be sure to turn up your speakers for the ITC effect.

This is great. Thankyou.

Today I was wondering - "What has become of the ghosts?"

I'm not sure how well known or obvious this is in EVP/ITC circles - but a few years back a friend turned me on to The Scole Experiment in which groups of researchers communicated with the beyond, the afterlife, spirits, people and so forth using such things as undeveloped film. Placing the undeveloped film in sealed containers, they would contact the otherside and the otherside would reply. Usually in the form of messages, images or writing appearing on the film.

Thanks so much for sharing all of this John. I have an incident in question for you concerning an event I encountered with a friend of mine many years ago which might be related. Wondered what input you might have on this one.
  
My friend and I were chatting one evening in our shared apartment––sometime around 1975 or so. We were discussing something to the effect of who's who in regard to who's running things around the globe. Just as our conversation got to an interesting point, a very loud deep guttural voice shot across the speakers of my stereo (which had previously shut off the turntable, while leaving the amp still on) yelling, "Shut up!" Not a word before or after. It was very eerie and disturbing to say the least. The event and its synchronisity were astounding.

Have to say, I've never met one I felt I could trust with the map.

 

Is ITC the modern day equivalent of the Ouija board?

...would seem to be a similar phenomenon, where technology is used to uncover messages which the conscious mind was perhaps unaware of. With "reverse speech" the unconscious modulates our vocal patterns to smuggle other meanings out to the listener. This raises the interesting possibility that we may be having two conversations at the same time, consciously and unconsciously, communicating emotional truths about ourselves whether we want to or not.

 

Obviously this is not good for mendacious politicians - some of the more interesting examples on the following website come from US President Bush...

Have fun!

 

 

One, I was on my way to answer your opening question ("Can we use our technology to talk to spirits and send messages back in time?") thusly: NO! without even reading your article. Man, I'm glad I didn't. 
However (two), if consciousness creates all form, as "Friedel" communicated -- which seems right to me -- then consciousness is creating ITC. It's ALL a big quantum stew, isn't it? So we just can't get around being a part of what we observe. What I do think your amazing piece suggests, however, is that reality is indeed a sandwich, or perhaps a wish. I've had quite inexplicable experiences all by myself, so I wonder why one needs a radio (unless that's what you believe). Fascinating, of course, and it would blow my mind to experience something like that. I would like to learn how these experiments were conducted. No doubt there's more info at the links...

Wow! This was FUN!!!

Sure, the entire article was fantastic, but what was REALLY cool was when I got to the “Technician”. Pins-and-needles moved up my spine and settled onto the back of my neck and head. I said to myself “Okay, noted. Now lets just read on like nothing occured and observe what happens.” The ‘energy’ pulsed evenly in two or three second intervals until I reached the bottom of the quote. The effect disappeared entirely as I continued to the end of the article.

“Interesting” I thought. “Now let’s see what happens if I scroll up and read it again.” I re-read the quote and the text below until the effect dissipated.

Then I read the comments below, and visited the reverse speech web site, as a distraction, and casually came back to the Technician.

Although the effect dissipated sooner each time I read it, the waves of energy consistently began with “When asked for a name”, and dissipated with “I was never human”. The strongest wave of energy occurred while reading “"who are you?” the response was: "We are what we are”". I have now repeatedly gone back eight or more times with consistent effect. My body is telling me that there’s something there… But what???

I listened to the audio clips linked to above. Are you people having a laugh? 

Is this whole thing a kind of ironic joke?

The air has been packed full of radio broadcasts for the best part of the last 100 years. What you are hearing are snippets of radio signals. But I don't have to tell you that's what they are. You know that, right? Right??

Dna.

There are ghosts, and spirits, and images of our beloved dead. But they're not OUT THERE. They're IN HERE.

 

Humans are intensely social creatures. The most important thing to a human is other human beings. We are exquisitely tuned to human voices, and human faces. I have no doubt that John Topp sincerely believes that he is receiving extradimensional communications. But shortwave radio is a continuous overloaded hash of information and communication. At least enclose the equipment in a grounded faraday cage. I guarantee that you'll be disappointed with the results.

 

Even after you screen out short wave broadcasts that actually contain human voices, you will still be able to discern voices in random noise, and see faces in random shapes. Humans are WIRED for it. I have a relatively large collection of images of faces that I have seen from the vantage point of a weather satellite in the water vapor content of the eastern pacific ocean.

 

The evidence and proof required to establish the existence of unknown extradimensional beings that were trying to communicate with us is probably unobtainable. The claim is so extraordinary that the proof would have to be equally extraordinary, and RF leakage into electonic circuits or human perception at the noise floor of said circuits is just not extraordinary enough.

I'm not going to try to convince John that I'm right. His evidence is not strong enough to convince me that he's right. And we both have better things to do than argue about it.

Another thing that comes to mind here is CMB or Cosmic Microwave Background

"...refered to it as "cosmic" because the only known source of this radiation is the early universe. It can now be firmly concluded that the CMB is the cooled remnant of the hot Big Bang itself.

Can I see the CMB for myself?

In fact you can! If you tune your TV set between channels, a few percent of the "snow" that you see on your screen is noise caused by the background of microwaves."

Of course now we're rarely able turn a TV set or any digital equipment "between channels". EVP/ITC et al seems to be a way to get between channels. A way to hear/experience the cosmic noise leading to a great cosmic party. Where the Technician is pouring drinks.

Then there's another potentially related phenomenon of hearing voices within forms of white noise such as fans. I know many people, including myself, that hear voices, sometimes music, nestled in but distinguished from the overall background noise made by the device. I've heard others share their experiences with me, as well as having had it occur at the same time when there is another person in the same room with me and corraborating what I'm hearing. It's always just barely below the volume level or clarity that I can make out exactly what they're saying--but consistently does sound like people talking. It usually sounds like someone's speaking or broadcasting from another room and we just can't quite make out what they're saying. But this phenomenon happens often––and it's evident enough to be distracting when all esle is quiet and one's trying to drop off to sleep.

The day Allen Ginsberg died my friend Scott and I were doing a noise guitar jam. For some strange reason, on that day alone my amp was picking up a radio station. After an intense noise freak out, we stopped. And then we heard Allen Ginsberg say, "The government controls everything." After that my amp never picked up a radio signal again.

Hi John,

I took a look at the spirit faces in 'Contact!'.

They are unconvincing.

I am open to the idea that consciousness is independent of body and of time but this all seems a bit crude to me.

Best wishes,

 

Jeremy Narby befriended and recorded conversations with Carlos Perez Shuma, a 45 year old Ashaninca man and experienced Tabaquero-Ayahuasquero.

From The Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby.

"...And these souls, what are they like?"

" I know that any living soul, or any dead one, is like those radio waves flying around in the air."

"Where?"

"In the air, that means they are there, but you cannot see them, but they are there, like radio waves. It's like that with souls; with ayahuasca and tobacco you can see and hear them."

In other words, with the proper technology, one can see into world's beyond. Jeremy Narby made his numerous and wondrous discoveries and connections for the most part by suspending disbelief. Any doubters here might try and do the same.

Definitely interesting and leading me to even deeper questions about how my thoughts affect the oneness and how can I have only helpful thoughts and feelings... Also thinking about making a trip to Fairplay, Colorado to write some kind of book based on its history and the Fairplay Hotel ghosts...this information can help me. I've always been fascinated but scared of ghosts and recently felt this calling to write about the Fairplay ghosts in a historical context, but also feeling a bit of a 6th sense vibe, that perhaps I can be of some service to them, especially Julia who apparently feels unworthy to move on. But another part thinks dont even get involved in that creepiness!

i "hear voices" with increacing regularity. it's pretty interesting. i have not found it in any way disruptive, thus far, but it is yet another example of an important matter of personal experience that i am unable to communicate effectively about to the people around me, in this case, becuase "hearing voices" is a trigger phrase indicating severe mental illness. (blah, blah, blah). in general, my personal experience is very much divorced from the way people see me, which i feel i am pretty in touch with. i feel pretty confident to say that people generally find me cool, relaxed, intellegent, and charismatic. actually, it is a considerable effort to convince strangers that "something major is wrong with me," (most notably my FUckED UP spine that finds me in perpentual sleepless agony). if i make the effort, i ususually get some combination of alarm, disbelief, and lack of understanding, and so i usually don't.

anyway, i want to share the two most interesting "transmissions" i have picked up on radio "me." waking up from a nap in a farmhouse in washington state but before i get up, i hear abruptly, in a sort of high pitched "alien" voice, some highly unexpected comment about (if i remember right) "the filing system." the overiding sence i got from it was something one might overhear easedropping on an office meeting. the exact content of that message was dramatically overshadowed by and immediatly forgotten upon the next thing i heard, also in an extremely high pitched voice, "should one of us take over his world?" immediatly, my rational mind pounces: "what? what the fuck? what just happened? what's going on?" this is what i consider "my" voice, my usual inner voice that normally maintains a pretty consistant inner monologue in my head. the other voice was very likely still there, but now totally drowned out by my inner monologue (now in totaly alert mode). i might well be picking up other voices all the time if it wern't for my own incecent voice (which in an egoless sort of way i don't identify with either).

that was about a year ago. a few weeks ago i was camping alone in a national forest. it is night, i am just lying down, and once again i am semi-conscoius bordering on full consciousness. there is a lull in my inner monologue, "er, uh, we could pretty much pick you up at any time," in a voice DEFINATLY not my own (my usual voice that is; i will not hazard an opinion about what voices belong to who. this phenomenon is not the first thing to make me question). this time i tried to shout a message back, "if you happened to have a pretty masage therapist with you, yes! please pick me up immediatly!" but i don't think it could have been heard. "my" voice is one frequency, and the other voices are on different freqencies (which i think i may well be communicating on unconsiously, perhaps at all times). only when my mind is able to wander do i "accidently" tune in to other voices.

less extreme examples are starting to happen to me pretty often, but most slip out of memory like dreams. these two examples were the most memorable and the most conducive to interpretation as "transmissions on an alternate frequency." noteably, they were both self-referential ("we," "us"). anyway, i figure if it can happen to me, it can happen on a radio.

one final note. fuck you Hoopes! that utube car commercial tape put a Bad Spirit into me, and i do not at this time have adaquate cannabis to purge it. thanks a bunch.

ps. help me.

one night
i was zoning out and a fan was behind me
and i eventually got to the point where
i could hear my unconscious in it,
and voices started talking,
like everyone i know a cacophony of them
and so i cued in on them,
and then i started using my emotion
anger, against them
and it was like a teeth clenched
snarling will power
and as it grew, the voices were screaming
bloody murder
almost as if they we're pleasing my to stay
like them screaming NO!
(in my head) and all kinda of violence
and it intensified and I used my anger
and love of certain people, against them
it kept growing, it seemed like i was torturing them
and then it shifted and they said something like
a taunting,
yea maybe we are the anti-christ,
and then i leaned back in chair,
still tranced and my whole consciousness was situated
in my third eye, and i felt i could almost climb
out through it, and i felt the disconnection
like my arms moving beyond my body,
astral almost. but i didn't try to take it any further
and later on,
this girl that i used against those voice
told me that she had felt my heart beating
and it was saying i love you i love you,
and that's what I was using against the voices.
i guess eventually i'll resolve the voices
into control and utilize each, as beings to contact? but another time,
i sat down in my creek, and just lay down listening
to the lapping water, and it started again
and the struggle ensued, but this time
i ended up using the water as my voice
and slowly, i fused my voice with it.
don't remember what i said, i think just some sounds
rhythms, hums,
and maybe other stuff, against the unruly voices.
I have many different aspects to my subconscious,
demons and other -- personalities, i guess you could say..
but my ego keeps from contact, sometimes. Also, in a dream I met my protective, dragon. the memories of that are kind of hazy, th0. but also was stabbed, 6 times, in my right side, after the protective "spirit" disappeard. definitely interested in these entities we contact.
