Would you use an i-Phone app that allowed you to talk with the dead?

Imagine that one day soon you would be able to have a real time conversation with people in the spirit realm, without the need for a human mediator (aka: medium or psychic). Would you use such a device to communicate to your deceased friends and relatives (assuming they wanted to talk to you) on a frequent basis? Perhaps such unencumbered communications would have unknown emotional drawbacks or other undesirable side effects. Whatever the case, is this idea a total fantasy: two way communication with the dead without human interference?

Actually there have been attempts in the past to make "spirit typewriters" with some limited success. You can easily Google the topic of "spirit typewriter" and discover that some experimenters and scientists went beyond the "conception" stage and actually made a working device. One example was a patent granted in 1922 to Sunker Abaji Bisey, an Indian scientist.

A commentary about this device shows it was an alternative to the popular Ouija board:

Quote:
Each key was attached to a letter or number hidden under the circular tray. While using the ouija board, the operator would spin the device several times before allowing "the spirits" to type on the blank keys using the handheld triangle. That ensured that the operator could not in any way see the letters the Ouija board was supposedly selecting. At the end of the session, you could pull out the ribbon to see if there were a message on it.

Another more updated invention of a "spirit typewriter" was credited to the spirit of George Jobson who supposedly gave the instructions for creating his device after his death. This device is called a "Reflectograph" and is based somewhat on a conventional typewriter but instead of requiring physical motion of typewriter keys the device allows the spirit communicator to use a "Yes" or "No" choice for each key in the keyboard. A photo of this device can be found online but I'm not allowed to post URL's yet in my replies.

Personally, I think these attempts at a "spirit typewriter" are rather crude and outdated. There have been many advances in technology since these earlier attempts to create "mental typewriters" that have real world applications in helping the severely disabled to communicate using brainwaves or focused attention. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me that a modern electronic hobbyist could make a more advanced device that would enable the possibility of spirit communication.

Yet, it is an intriguing possibility. The real question from my perspective, would anyone really use it if it were available?

What do you think?

Pretty far out question.

Think I'd prefer spirit email.
I like writing more than phone calls....
Somehow it feels more intimate.

But for urgent communication , how about spirit texting?

Especially from angels, guides, god, fairies, ET's


Now that, I'd really welcome.

(edit) It really wouldn't surprise me if some folks here have received occasional spirit texts
Just saw a confirming sparkle when I wrote that :)

It's an intriguing thought indeed, but I do not see anyone believing it to be legit. It may be fun, and may actually work, but it seems more novelty than tool.

That'd be one heck of a speed dial list..... with no unlisted numbers.


They laughed at the IPad not that long ago.
"how many people would really buy one" is what most said.

Geomagman... You can talk in real time to spirits of the dead, or higher level spirit beings, without an app or even a medium... in your own telepathic mind line. You can learn how.

Anng... You might be able to reach him through your heart line.

Just get very quiet and feel him in your heart like you used to... then gently reach out and call... then wait and see what shows up pretty soon in answer... and be ready for surprises.
