Waldis Jirgens I
was born in 1940 in Latvia, grew up and went to school in
Nürtingen, West Germany, got a degree in Mathematics at the University of
Tübingen, became a computer expert, married and migrated with my family to
Australia in 1980. Here we settled in Sydney. Until my retirement in April 1996 I had been working for the John Fairfax Organisation. Now that I am retired and have moved with my wife and youngest son to Canberra, I can pursue my various hobbies with renewed vigour.
My hobbies are: The Paranormal Amateur Radio in General Amateur Radio Digital Modes LINUX

An unholy alliance of pseudo-sceptics and leaders of the various churches has largely had the effect that people are reluctant to acknowledge their own and their friends' and relatives' paranormal experiences.
For the "sceptics" it is a matter of their materialist faith that "Nothing paranormal can exist", therefore any evidence collected "must be fraudulent" and any personal experiences must be either imagination or a sign of mental illness. They try to bully the rest of society to agree with them, with some success, since nobody wants to seem crazy or a gullible simpleton.
For the church leaders it is a matter of faith that their particular form of religion is THE true one. This in spite of the fact that most religions are based on largely fictional "Holy Books" and illogical doctrines. The problem is that the scientific evidence about the paranormal in general and the afterlife in particular rarely matches such doctrines. Rather than questioning these, they argue that the paranormal is driven by "dark forces out to deceive humanity", and who of their congregation wants to be associated with these?
We are supposed to live in the AGE OF REASON. Polls show that 71% of the population have had at least one paranormal experience. NDEs show that human consciousness is not dependent on a functioning brain. Remote Viewing shows that human consciousness can travel long distances away from the body. ITC, EVP and materialisation mediumship show that human consciousness survives death. This would rank as the greatest scientific discovery ever achieved would it not be for some influential but extremely stubborn and closed minded people desperately trying to deny it.
ESP and PK tests
They are based on the experiments of Joseph Banks Rhine (29/9/1895 - 20/2/1980)
Even the CIA employed during the cold war a remote viewing group, codenamed "Project Stargate" whose members explored secret USSR sites from the safety of the US!
The story was shown here on TV with the title "The Real X-Files".

The latter two also expose the bullying tactics of high profile "sceptics". Already 1918 Prof. James Hyslop gave them a fitting answer:
I regard the existence of discarnate spirits as scientifically proven and I no longer refer to the sceptic as having any right to speak on the subject. Any man who does not accept the existence of discarnate spirits and the proof of it is either ignorant or a moral coward. I give him short shrift, and do not propose any longer to argue with him on the supposition that he knows anything about the subject.
People often adhere to their religion (which is mostly the religion of their parents) out of tradition without trying to verify the veracity or otherwise of their particular beliefs. I found this approach naive and negligent in the extreme and set out to look for "the true religion", a spiritual philosophy that is logical, can explain paranormal phenomena in a coherent way, and does not attribute human character faults (like anger, hate, jealousy) to its deity. If you have done the same, you will have guessed by now that I am a Spiritualist. As value system I like the Wiccan ethics:

what Spiritualism is all about, and if you like how it originated. I am a member of the Canberra Spiritualist Association.
Just let me tell you what Spiritualism is not:
- It is not a cult with an "all wise" or "infallible" guru at the top.
- It doesn't have fixed doctrines, that you have to believe in.
- It doesn't promote any "holy books" that you ought to read and study.
- It doesn't require you to undertake any exercises of worship.
- It doesn't prescribe how you may dress, or what you may eat or drink.
Some interesting Spiritual Topics:
The attraction of Spiritualism for outsiders are Trance mediums and their channelled messages. Here are transcripts from more than 100 channellings by Canberra medium Valerie Sturesteps. They are also available in self-contained e-book formats:

The Millennium-doomsayers were wrong. But if you think, that doomsday is now coming in 2012, read this:

So, what do Spiritualists and Radio Amateurs have in common?
More than you probably think:
- Both are fiercely independent individualists.
- Both communicate with unseen partners.
- These communications are not always reliable, and prone to interference and static.
- The general population views both groups with suspicion.

Digital modes have been around for quite a while. In the 80s and 90s I was QRV in packet on VHF and sometimes on hf. Later I did a bit RTTY and AMTOR with a TNC. In 2000 I started with the newer digital modes like PSK31 and MFSK16. Since then numerous additional digital modes have been developed. Most of them improve dramatically on the "oldies" like RTTY for example. CW has also been integrated as a digital mode amongst the others.
