'Channeling' is the Topic of Mark Russell Bell's Latest Blog Series about 'Paranormal Phenomena'

Los Angeles, California August 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Mark Russell Bell is offering his perspective of documented cases of channeling and 'trance channeling' / mediumship following two other series of blog articles with 'paranormal' subjects this year: the first being Madame Blavatsky and the second being 1950s flying saucer 'contactees.' One recent article was entitled "In Comparison: Pearl Curran, 'Miss Beauchamp,' John Dee and Edward Kelley."

Bell comments, "In recent months the topic selected each week has been determined by what I think will be most illuminating for readers who have considered the variety of previous blog posts relating to cases of so-called 'paranormal phenomena.'"

In 2011 and 2010, series of blog articles at http://metaphysicalarticles.blogspot.com included mediumship and Spiritualism, 'The Michael Pattern,' and 'Talking Poltergeist' cases. Sometimes parallels can be found between the various topics; for example, one source that Bell has extensively featured this year is the nonfiction book Flying Saucer Pilgrimage (1957) by Bryant and Helen Reeve. One of the Reeves' interview subjects was channeler Mark Probert.

The July 8, 2012 article "Some Reflections about Channeling and the Creative Process" offered this observation: "The word 'channel' has long been synonymous with trance mediumship. In the 'Prefatory Remarks' to Biography of Mrs. J. Conant (1873) Allen Putnam wrote: 'She has been the channel through which more than ten thousand different spirits have sent messages to their kindred and friends on earth.'"

In the article, Bell also reported that the first memoir of Daniel Dunglas Home, Incidents In My Life (1862), is supplemented by the book Experiences in Spiritualism with Mr. D. D. Home (1869) by Viscount Adare. The latter book offers descriptions of 78 seances. A January 2012 blog article includes commentary about the 'channeled book' Health: Its Recovery and Maintenance (1929) featuring 12 lectures delivered through trance medium Eileen Garrett. A January 2010 article presents 'Channeled Perspectives of the Brain' via Edgar Cayce and Eileen Garrett.

Last month, Bell reviewed a nonfiction book about Chico Xavier and observed, "Perhaps another way of expressing that Earth beings have a 'shared subconscious mind' is to state that all individual consciousness/personality units belong to a self-aware 'All That Is' — a highly moral force . . ."

Among the articles available at Bell's "Interesting Articles, Links and Other Media" blog at http://metaphysicalarticles.blogspot.com are:

"Excerpts from the Philo T. Farnsworth Biography by Elma Farnsworth"

"Instrumental Transcommunication"

"When Col. Olcott Met Madame Blavatsky"

"Messages From Michael"

"Some Noteworthy Instances of Seance Room Photography"

"Clive Wearing's Rare Predicament of Having an Extremely Limited Memory"

"Spiritualism" Blog Series of Articles Includes Photographs of Authentic Seance Materialization Phenomena

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Mark Russell Bell selected photographs for his "Spiritualism" blog series of articles at http://metaphysicalarticles.blogspot.com after researching the subject for a future book. The photos corroborate documented case histories.

Bell comments about the photos: "It is easy to understand that these photos document authentic so-called 'paranormal' phenomena if one studies the detailed accounts that explain the circumstances of the mediums in whose presence these occurrences took place. The photos were taken under controlled methods of investigation by researchers."

Bell encourages media outlets to make use of his blog articles and photos. He commenced blogging with the goal of informing readers of noteworthy sources of information relating to spiritual and metaphysical subjects.

He observes, "For people interested in events usually categorized as 'unexplained phenomena,' it is more rewarding to read about authentic cases instead of wasting their time and money on mindless entertainment sensationalizing these subjects. My objective is to expand people's awareness of life's possibilities without any commercial incentive or content restrictions."

Bell concludes in the culminating "Spiritualism" post at http://metaphysicalarticles.blogspot.com: "What Earth people have in common with those communicating from other realms is that each is an individual personality or 'unit' of a pervasive Cosmic Consciousness."

More than sixteen years ago, Bell found himself confronted by the opportunity to investigate firsthand a case of unexplained phenomena described as "America's Talking Poltergeist" in a 1995 magazine article. He contacted the family experiencing many strange occurrences and arranged an interview. This was the beginning of an astonishing sequence of events.

Bell became a metaphysical author with publication of the 1997 nonfiction case study Testament. Since 2004, he has been working on a new autobiographical book that includes his analysis of documented cases of unexplained phenomena.

Mark Russell Bell found himself confronted by the opportunity to investigate firsthand a case of unexplained phenomena described as "America's Talking Poltergeist" in a 1995 magazine article. He contacted the family experiencing many strange occurrences and arranged an interview. This was the beginning of an astonishing sequence of events. Bell comments on his experiences and research with his blog at http://metaphysicalarticles.blogspot.com

Bell became a metaphysical author with publication of the 1997 nonfiction Testament. Since 2004, he has been working on a new book that analyzes documented cases of unexplained phenomena. Bell comments, "Words such as 'paranormal' and 'supernatural' indicate some aspect of natural reality that is yet to be commonly understood. 'Poltergeist' is a term meaning 'noisy spirit.' My orientation to this subject has been comparing testimonials of such events.

"Since the publication of Testament in 1997, I've looked for information from bona fide sources that could expand one's understanding of life. As I commented when I began my blog, my objective is helping readers find noteworthy sources of information.

"My focus is upon aspects of life that I consider to be of great significance. I offer a personal analytical approach to spirituality and metaphysical subjects to encourage others to better comprehend the basis for their own beliefs."

Among the websites to have recently featured links to Bell's "Interesting Articles, Links and Other Media" blog are About.Com, The Anomalist, Daily Grail, Mysterious Universe, and SupernaturalUFO.Com.

Popularity of Paranormal Investigations Motivates Mark Russell Bell to Share Insights

The metaphysical author and blogger is offering pointers about what is important to remember concerning research into unexplained phenomena.

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) July 9, 2010 -- Mark Russell Bell has shared his unusual experiences in a 1997 nonfiction case study and an Internet website. Now he is offering paranormal investigators some important insights.

Mark Russell Bell blogs at http://metaphysicalarticles.blogspot.com
Mark Russell Bell blogs at http://metaphysicalarticles.blogspot.com

Bell reflects, "Many decades of popular supernatural horror films and novels have cultivated for some people a mind-set that craves the sensational and the frightful. You might say that fictional depictions of unexplained phenomena require a suspension of disbelief for entertainment purposes while encountering any such events in your own life requires careful analysis for understanding the meaning of what has happened."

At http://metaphysicalarticles.blogspot.com Bell helps readers find noteworthy sources of information relating to metaphysical and spiritual topics.

Bell's 1,100-page book Testament derived from tape-recorded interview transcripts and journals to present a record of his responses to startling events at a time in his life when he had only a superficial knowledge of the variety of chronicled cases usually categorized as 'paranormal.' He comments, "In my youth, I'd read books about poltergeists and ufology without accepting anything as unquestionably valid. It was only after my experiences chronicled in Testament that I began to understand what manifestly was the basis for the phenomena."

Here are some of Bell's observations for investigators of unexplained phenomena.

1. Perceived instances of psychokinesis / telekinesis in relation to a specific individual should not be attributed to the individual alone but to an unseen intelligence manifesting in proximity to the person.

2. It is often the personal response of someone observing the phenomena that associates the experience with a particular word or familiar concepts such as 'poltergeist,' 'demon,' 'angel,' 'spirit,' or 'alien.'

3. Paranormal investigators should consider how their 'supernatural' beliefs about ghosts and unexplained phenomena correlate with their entire metaphysical orientation that has evolved during the full course of their life experience.

4. Regarding anomalous occurrences involving mystics, psychics, mentalists, etc., consider the concept of a Superconsciousness manifesting through or around specific individuals to expand people's spiritual awareness of what is possible. Eastern wisdom traditions offer words signifying 'Oneness' to remind that all living things are interconnected and each is linked with an all-creative Life Force.

5. I recommend you read my own book (available in a free Internet edition) as well as extensively documented cases of people who've experienced different forms of unexplained or 'psychic' phenomena during previous epochs. Some of these people include Dr. John Dee, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Edgar Cayce, and medium Leslie Flint.

6. Concerning legitimate trance channelers, the perspective of entities speaking through a person should be understood as being 'more-knowing' rather than 'all-knowing.' Each individual consciousness unit has a unique perspective based upon one's own life experiences.

7. 'Electronic Voice Phenomena' (EVP) may be obtained anywhere with all varieties of recording devices. Listen closely to unedited radio or TV broadcasts / recordings and you may be surprised.

January 2009 is 12th Anniversary of Publication of Nonfiction Testament
Mark Russell Bell’s ‘New Consciousness Bible’ Has Readers Worldwide


LOS ANGELES, Calif., – (Marketwire - January 6, 2009) – Mark Russell Bell’s case study book Testament was first published twelve years ago in January 1997. A paperback edition is available and a free Internet edition may be read at http://testament.org

The book resulted after the author interviewed an Oklahoma family experiencing so-called ‘talking poltergeist’ phenomena in 1995. These Q&A transcripts became the first portion of Testament. The family was seen on television in the 1995 ABC special “Ghosts, Mediums, Psychics: Put To The Test” and this footage also aired in the summer of 1996 on “20/20.” Among the phenomena filmed for the special was a diningroom chair moved by an unseen presence.

Upon returning to Los Angeles from Oklahoma, the author continued having unexpected experiences while conducting further interviews. Interview participants included friends and acquaintances working in the Southern California entertainment industry. Bell found his professional background useful in gaining insights about consciousness and creativity. Born in Culver City, he majored in cinema at USC, worked as a talent agent and then as a studio publicist for Paramount Pictures before becoming a metaphysical author.

Another source of interviews for Bell’s book was the Philosophical Research Society in the Los Feliz district of Los Angeles. Founded by Manley Palmer Hall in 1934, the Society has a motto of “Honoring the Wisdom of All Traditions.”

Bell’s upcoming book is My Unexpected Path of Spiritual Discovery, an autobiographical account of his research that includes overviews of famous cases involving ‘paranormal phenomena.’ In his new book, Bell considers surprising evidence for a ‘Spiritual Force’ or ‘Oneness’/‘Superconsciousness.’ Bell suggests scientists err when interpreting findings under the assumption that such a Being as ‘God’ doesn’t exist when instead they should consider that familiar concepts of God are inadequate.

The Internet edition of Testament has a diverse readership throughout the world via the noncommercial website http://testament.org

Mark Russell Bell of Testament.org Will Participate in the Internet's First-Ever Virtual Body Mind Spirit Expo July 27, 28 and 29

LOS ANGELES, July 2, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Mark Russell Bell of www.testament.org will present a streaming lecture about his experiences and research involving unexplained phenomena for The First-Ever Virtual Body Mind Spirit Expo on July 27, 28 and 29 at www.bmse.net/vbmse2/ with free worldwide attendance.

Bell's lecture is entitled "The Paranormal -- Superconscious Manifestation." He will also host the New Consciousness Research Organization virtual booth in the Expo's Centers and Publications virtual hall.

His nonfiction book Testament is available to be read online without charge. The book is a case study presented via question and answer interview transcripts, journals and photographs. Bell's upcoming book is Hollyweird, an autobiographical account of the author's unexpected yet revealing path of spiritual discovery. Before Bell became a metaphysical author, he worked in the entertainment industry as a publicity writer for Paramount Pictures.

The author interviewed an Oklahoma family experiencing 'talking poltergeist' phenomena in 1995 and published these transcripts in Testament. The family was seen on television in the 1995 ABC special "Ghosts, Mediums, Psychics: Put To The Test" and this footage also aired in 1996 on "20/20."

Bell comments, "My experiences and research have shown me that all living things are continuously interacting with an intermediary Superconsciousness or Spiritual Force that may be recognized through circumstances often described as coincidences and synchronicity, intuition and telepathy, prophetic dreams and visions, mediumship and trance channeling, healing, as well as events associated with such expressions as 'hauntings,' 'talking poltergeists' and 'electronic voice phenomena.' This predicament might be articulated as all living things having a shared Subconscious Mind and 'Thought Conductor.' Such expressions as 'Oneness' and 'Christ Consciousness' are also useful."

Testament was published in January 1997. The book's ISBN is 0-9654916-0-9 and the Library of Congress Catalog number is 96-71184. The Internet edition of the book is available without charge at www.testament.org/. The Oracle Press edition is available at www.bn.com/
