Breakthrough: an amazing experiment in electronic communication with the dead

by Konstantin Raudive

In 2021, the 50th anniversary of the first publication of Breakthrough , "What happens after physical death?" is still the big question concerning the nature of existence.In his groundbreaking work, psychologist Konstantin Raudive experimented using a communication method known as Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), whereby deceased communicators appear to send messages and images via computers, radios, televisions and other electronic devices.In 1959 Swedish artist and filmmaker Friedrich Jurgenson was making a tape recording and during playback he discovered what sounded like a human voice on the tape. He put it down to faulty equipment but when he searched other tapes, he found more voices, which seemed to be messages from his dead mother. Jurgenson recounted the experience in a book titled Voices from Space. The book impressed Raudive and subsequently he and Jurgenson collaborated for a time and encountered more voices.Later, Raudive undertook his own research amassing a collection of thousands of voice recordings and in 1968 his work was published in German under the title, Unhörbares Wird Hörbar (The Inaudible Becomes Audible).In 1969 after being approached at the Frankfurt Book Fair, British publisher Colin Smythe asked his colleague Peter Bander to assess Raudive's book with a view to publishing it in English, and, unbeknown to Bander, did his own experiments with positive results.Since that time Jurgenson and Raudive's experiments have been replicated thousands of times by researchers and enthusiasts all over the world and Breakthrough remains a classic in the genre.The communicators overriding message? "We are not dead!"

Latvialainen psykologi Konstantin Raudive innostui ruotsalaisen Friedrich Jürgensonin keksimästä menetelmästä kuunnella aaveiden ääniä nauhoilla olevasta kohinasta ja raportoi tässä kirjassaan laajoja kokeita, joita hän teki 1960-luvulla. Kirjassa on jonkin verran sekavahkoa teoretisointia ilmiön taustoista, mutta suurin osa kirjasta on kohinasta löydettyjen viestien kuvauksia. Viestejä on tullut moninaisilta hahmoilta aina Raudiven äidistä Adolf Hitleriin. Viestit ovat lyhyitä ja usein absurdeja, joten niitä ei jaksa kovin tarkasti lukea ainakaan useita satoja sivuja. Kirja on todella uuvuttava luettava, mutta samalla kiinnostava historiallinen kuriositeetti menetelmästä, joka on nykyisten kummitusten metsästäjien ghostbox-laitteen taustalla.

This is a fantastic book dealing with the phenomenon of recording voices 'from beyond' on audio tape. Raudive is the authority on this subject, having conducted numerous scientific experiments. Whatever you believe with regards to 'the voices', this is a compelling book that will most definitely get you thinking. This book most definitely needs to be back in print!
