The power of the mind to create spirits: The “Phillip” experiment

Have you ever wondered how far your mind reaches ? Have you thought that maybe you could be underestimating your abilities? Without a doubt, one of the greatest enigmas of our world revolves around the mind, that mysterious universe hidden in each of us that infers knowledge and data, which we have not always been able to distinguish completely.Experiments on the behaviors of the human being have been several, however, none like the one you are about to know, I can demonstrate in a reliable way the power of the suggestion .

Curiosity about the paranormal world

In 1972, the Society for Psychological Research of Toronto (Canada) had I've been machining an amazing theory related to the power of the mind to create portals that will communicate the world of the alive with that of the dead. It explained that the so-called “ ghostly perception ” could happen for two things: the first contemplated that it was due to the typical idea that the dead communicated with the world of the alive and the second, argued that it could have a somewhat more scientific explanation, eradicating the ideas of supernatural beings and replacing them with hypotheses about possible hallucinations or mental images, that were able to manifest due to something that was hidden in the deepest of the unconscious.

Under the Address of the Dr.Alan Robert George Owen , a mathematical expert in paranormal phenomena, the Society for Psychological Research brought together a group of eight common people (with no history of any kind).sible kind of psychic or unusual mental ability) within which Dr.Owen's wife was, among other members of society interested in this issue, such was the case of Dr.Joel Whitton, psychologist who served only as an observer.

Phillip Aylesford and the spiritualist sessions

To begin the experiment, the group of researchers devised a plan so that all the participants could synchronize their thoughts and direct them towards the same character .So they decided to invent a man of 17th-century English royalty who lived in love with a young gypsy woman.Upon hearing this, the wife of that man they called " Phillip Aylesford " was responsible for spreading rumors about the gypsy girl, saying that she performed rituals of black magic and the people decided to capture her and that marla at the stake.Before this conflict Phillip was unable to save her, due to the shame that this had brought her.After the gypsy's death, Phillip decides to throw herself from one of the castle towers, tormented by the culpa.

During the sessions , which lasted for almost a However, the group had completely defined Phillip's character, they had even managed to draw it .However, while trying to make it manifest, they were unsuccessful.

The power of the mind to create spirits: The “Phillip” experiment

It was not until one of the Owen group members suggested that the sessions be held with the lights off , each sitting in a circle illuminated by the light of the candles , with pictures and decorations belonging to the era in which Phillip lived, stating that this was how the spiritualism sessions were actually practiced, that the invocations of the ghost they started to have repercussions. They felt knocking on the table, it was even said that the ghost whispered , in the ear of someone from the group, the answers that the other members formulated.

As the sessions progressed, the presence of Phillip's supposed ghost was increasingly strong , some lights went out as requested by the group to manipulate them, the table crawled back and forth, etc.; when the group tried to record these events in front of an audience of 50 people, when there was an important movement apparently caused by Phillip, casually The lights failed and the video only managed to capture darkness.

The main objective of Owen's group had been to achieve the manifestation clear of the spirit in front of an audience.However, this purpose was never fulfilled and, despite the success obtained with those physical manifestations, the Society for Psychic research lost interest .Other attempts were resumed by the Owen group when, along with Phillip's existence, they tried to create other characters a those who called "Lilith" (A Canadian spy), "Sebastian" (a medieval alchemist) and "Axel" (A man of the future) c on identities equally fictitious and with those who also managed to communicate successfully .

The power of the mind to create spirits: The “Phillip” experiment

If we think about it, the objective of the experiment gave a fundamental key for the study of the suggestion and influence of the collective unconscious: as long as you have a particular idea among a group of people, unexplained events can happen What does this premise tell us? Could it be that the union of the minds of each of the group members could move things without anyone touching them? Could the Owen group have been able to demonstrate that there is a etheric energy that can be manipulated only with the force of thought? Or would the results have been a product of the quackery? Let's think that the participants of the experiment were so focused and committed with their main objective that in the end they themselves produced supernatural events , influenced by the power of suggestion.

Dr.Owen's wife, Iris, wrote a book called “ Conjuring up Phillip ” in 1976 where he narrates his experience and the phases of the experiment in detail.

Another reference about this experiment can be found in the movie “ The quiet Ones ”(2014) by John Pogue.The story is not the same, but it reflects what the Owen group tried to prove: How far does the power of the mind go ?
