  THE SCOLE EXPERIMENT

The Scole Experiment Witness Testimony from Professor Ernst Senkowski

'They delivered messages from no-where into now-here'
​'Astonishing Mind-Matter Interactions'

I and my wife had the opportunity to take part in two sessions of the Scole Experimental Group in 1995 and 1996. My own observations as well as later personal reports of my colleagues, the Schnittgers, left me convinced of the genuineness of the phenomena. I considered a number of them to be physical anomalies that cannot be incorporated into the current scientific framework. Nevertheless, it is possible to integrate these (and other) ‘paranormal’ effects within broader proposed systems which arise from the results of modern consciousness research, particularly the interactions of mind and matter.
 
The following considerations are based on my twenty years’ experience in the lesser known field of Instrumental Trans-communication, or ITC. [Dr Senkowski coined this term in the 1970s to describe ‘electronically supported contacts with other ranges of human consciousness’ including ‘the beyond’.] Given a wider view of the nature of the laws which may govern the universe, the many-faceted Scole phenomena may enlarge our always limited vistas of life and may one day appear quite normal.
 
Throughout history, ‘mediums’ in ‘trance’ states have expressed ‘transinformation’ and performed ‘transcommunication’ through speech or automatic writing. Since the 1950s, all types of electronic apparatus (audio-tapes, video tapes, radios, telephones, TVs, computers) have been used in this field. Each piece of apparatus constitutes the final link in a hypothetical translation chain. They delivered messages from no-where into now-here and allowed dialogues with otherwise hidden ‘virtual transpartners’ or ‘communicators’.
 
Unlike telecommunications devices that function in the hands of any user, transcommunication appears to be subject to the psychic faculties of the operator (and perhaps other less obvious factors). In spite of the remarkable observations collected by private persons – including the Scole Experimental Group – no ‘official’ scientific verification of ITC under laboratory conditions has been undertaken. We are still left with many open questions.
 
However, the results of the current research could bring us nearer to significant answers. The Scole Experiment presents itself as a combination of mediumistic and instrumental single and two-way transcommunication. Additional extraordinary effects were manifested and documented. These carried less direct information but demonstrated the possibilities of astonishing mind-matter interactions.
 
I believe we should clearly differentiate between extraordinary facts and their interpretation. We should also avoid separating the currently mutually exclusive materialistic and spiritualistic views and instead consider a holistic cosmos. The materialistic-spiritualistic controversy appears to be a consequence of an historical split in ways of thinking. This split could possibly be overcome by a new perspective as expressed by the renowned psychologist Stanislaw Grof, who said that the comprehension and classification of paranormal phenomena is not yet possible in the light of an, as yet, unfinished world-view into which mysticism, modern physics, neurophysiology, consciousness research, information theory, and theory of systems may converge.

Note from Curators regarding 'The Scole Experiment: Witness Testimony from Dr Ernst Senkowski'

Picture
Dr Ernst Senkowski joined the Scole Experiment in 1995. He is highly qualified. He studied experimental physics at the University of Hamburg in 1946 and gained his doctorate at the University of Mainz in 1958. He worked for UNESCO as a physics expert in the National Research Centre, Cairo, Egypt, before being appointed as a professor training engineering students in physics and electrotechniques in 1961.
In the mid-1970s he started his own experiments to try to find out the source of unexplained voices on tapes. After a few months, the results ‘showed the reality of audible contacts with the apparently, so-called “dead”.’ After obtaining his own independent results, he discovered that others, such as Jurgenson and Raudive, had made similar observations. He retired in 1988.
Given the above, we considered Dr Senkowski to be something of an expert witness in regard to the Scole Experiment. In November 1998, he sent us an account of his experiences at Scole together with other relevant information, for inclusion in our book, The Scole Experiment: Scientific Evidence for Life After Death

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE SCOLE EXPERIMENT VIA THE BOOK, REPORT, DIARY AND DOCUMENTARY

For many people, this website or the 86-minute film documentary, The Afterlife Investigations, are the first time they encounter The Scole Experiment.

​In addition to the film documentary, three books - with images, descriptions, and analysis - provide a comprehensive overview of this 'important to science' 5-year experiment.

The Scole Experiment: Scientific Evidence for Life After Death introduces all 5 years and the key experiments and concepts for the general reader.

ABOUT US

The Scole Experiment Website Managers and Curators of The Scole Files
The managers of this website are Grant Solomon and Jane Solomon. Grant and Jane are also the collators and curators of The Scole Files since 1998, administrators of The Scole Experiment Afterlife Research Association (SEARA or 'The Scole Association'), psi investigators and journalists, SPR members, writers, editors of The Scole Experiment diary ebook, and authors of the internationally best-selling book... The Scole Experiment: Scientific Evidence for Life After Death.

​Ownership and Copyright Notice
All the original material produced and collected during The Scole Experiment - including photographs, objects, audio/video recordings, as well as the records and diaries kept of the events - is owned by the Scole Experimental Group. In 1998, the Scole Experimental Group granted Grant Solomon and Jane Solomon - in their capacities as authors of The Scole Experiment, appointed collators and curators of all The Scole Experiment material, and administrators of SEARA - all rights to use all The Scole Experiment material for their books, articles, films, and other projects. Separately, The Scole Experiment book and other original books, articles, and documents created by Grant Solomon and Jane Solomon, including material provided for the development of The Scole Experiment movie, is owned by Grant Solomon and Jane as the originators and creators of those works.

30th Anniversary in 2023 and publication with universal free access 'for educational purposes only' to all The Scole Files
In 2022, in preparation for the 30th Anniversary of the first significant Scole phenomenon (1993) in 2023, Scole Group members - Robin Foy, Alan Bennett, and Diana Bennett - asked Grant Solomon and Jane Solomon (officially appointed collators and curators of The Scole Experiment material since 1998) to digitally publish - with universal free access for study and discussion ('educational purposes only') - all The Scole Files, including Notes and Transcripts regarding the audio recordings of the 'Communication' during the 500 x 2-hour sessions of The Scole Experiment. Previously, in the book, the report, the diary, the documentary, the commentary, and elsewhere, only approximately 10% of the files had been published. The remaining 90% of the data and evidence will begin to be made universally and freely available 'for educational purposes only' at the start of 2023.

The Scole Experiment Movie
The Scole Experiment Movie is a joint American/British project currently 'in development' with producers @AndrewdDeane of Industry Entertainment Partners (Los Angeles, US) and Rory Rooney (UK).
