The
author,
thanks
to
the
long-time
mediumistic
ex-
periences he
has had
with
"Entity A,"
tries, once
again,
to
clarify what
is meant by an "incarnative programme
of
real
ego"
(spirit),
especially
as
the
necessary component
of
the
whole
evolutionary
process
and,
consequently,
of
the
real
ego
itself
of whom
the
individual
is
simply
a
temporary
instrument.

De Boni, Lina.
Four sittings with Dcmofilo
Fidani.
Luce e Ombra, 1987 (Oct/Dec), 57(4),
344-361.
figs
Some
sittings
obtained
through
the
mediumship
of
Demofilo Fidani
are
described.
During
these
stances,
im-
portant
phenomena
were
produced
such
as
direct
voice,
direct
writing,
partial
materializations,
apports,
lights,
automatic
raps,
and
so
on.
The
author
describes
their
manners
of
expression
and,
in
particular,
underlines
the
way
her
father’s
spirit, known
in
this
life
as
Dr.
Gastone
De
Boni,
contacted
her.
In
fact,
the
identification
of
the
deceased
man’s
voice
is
given
for
sure.
She
identified
his
way
of
talking
iby
the
personal
inflection
of
the
voice.
Furthermore,
from
the
same
entity
came
communications
by means of
direct
writing, which reproduced
in
a remark-
able way the same handwriting
Dr. De Boni had when he
was
alive.
On
the
whole,
very
important
mediumistic
physical and paraphysical phenomena were seen by the
sit-
ters,
so
that
it
is
necessary
to
consider
each
type
of
phenomenon
specifically,
but
first
of
all
with
the
one
about survival.

Giovetf i. Paola.^ Tlidrese Neumann of Kon-
neliffcllifli," "Luce e Ombra, 1987 (Oct/Dec), 87(4), 362-369.
Twenty five years ago on September
18,
1962, Th6rese
Neumann died
in Konnersreuth (West Germany),
the
place
\yhere she was horn
in
1898 and ^wbere she
spent
her
life.
Her
family
was
very
poor
so
she
could
only
attend
primary school.
At the age
of
20, because of an accident,
she became
paralyzed
and
blind.
But
years
later
she
was able
to recover her sight on
the same day
as Th6rese
of Liseux’s beatification.
Furthermore, 2 years
later, when
Th£rese of
Lisieytx became Saint, she could walk
again.
In
the same year she started having
visions of the Via Crucis
and received
the stigmata.
These
visions were with her
all
her
life. Every Friday she saw the suffering
in
Jesus’
pas-
sion
while
her
stigmata
were
bleeding.
After
having
received
the
stigmata,
she
refused
drinks and
foods,
feed-
ing
herself for 36 years exclusively through
the daily Holy
Communion.
Her
total
fast was
controlled by the Church
and
by
medical
doctors.
In
Th6rese
Neumann’s
life,
paranormal
phenomena
appeared
frequently.
During
her
visions
she
spoke! languages she never
learned
(Latin,
Por-
tuguese, Aramaic),
she could
bilocate, and had an
extraor-
dinary
capacity
of
clairvoyance
and
telepathy.
Thdrese
Neumann’s process of canonization
is underway.

Mediumistic communica-
tions among
living
people: A
recent
case.
Luce e
Ombra, 1987 (Oct/Dec), 87(4), 370-378.
Describes
a
mediumistic
telewriting
communication
that
the author and
his
wife,
Bettina,
recently had with a
living man
absolutely unknown
to them.
Later,
the author
met
this person and had a
long conversation with him. He
is
a
hairdresser
named
Michele
Calabro
who
lives
in
Rome.
In
their
first
interview,
the
"astral"
one,
Calabro
gave
several
facts about
his own
person,
work,
and
shop.
Many data
are
literally
exact whereas
others need
a
little
explanation,
' but
nevertheless
they
appear
to
be
substan-
tially correct.
The language,
too, turned out
to be
like the
one
used
by
the
"projector"
man,
who
is
an
up-to-date,
very young
hairdresser.
The way
lie
is
used
to
talking
is
completely
unknown
to
the
author’s
wife
too.
Liverziani
analyzes the
entire phenomenon and compares
it
to
similar
experiences,
particularly
to
those
the
same
experimenters
have
had
already,
in
order
to make
a
thorough
study
of
the mechanism
involved
and
to draw
wider
conclusions.

Problems
which
must
be
re-
examined:
"Child
mediums."
Metapsichica
Rivista
Italiana di Parapsicologia, 1972 (Jan/Jun),
27(1/2),
1-9.
The
author,
referring
to
the
well-known
book
by
A.R.G. Owen on
the
poltergeist, reexamines some
cases
of
mediumship
in
early
childhood,
and
suggests
that
these
cases
be
submitted
to
the
attention
of
parapsychologists,
psychoanalysts,
and
even
to
psychologists
with
a
view
to
creating new
tests for child mediums.

Granone,
F.
The
Philippine
surgeon-healers.
Metapsichica
Rivista
Italiana
di
Parapsicologia,
1972
(Jan/Jun), 27(1/2),
10-17.
For a fortnight the author attended various diagnostic
and therapeutic interventions effected by Philippine psychic
surgeons, and he describes some of them for which he pos-
sesses
cinematographic
and
photographic
documentation.
He also possesses
tests of blood and parts of
tissues carried
out
by
specialized
universities,
the
reports
of
which
are
published
in
a
more
extensive
text.
The
author
ascer-
tained
several
tricks
employed
by
the
psychic
surgeons:
They
pretend
to remove
tissues
that
by
the
istologic
test
are
found
to
have
been
preserved
outside
the
organism
and
therefore
are
putrefied;
they
effect
surgical operations
during which blood
is seen
flowing, but afterwards by
test
the blood
is found
to be dyed
water;
they pretend
to
ex-
tract some calculus from
the human body, which are
small
stones
or
pieces
of
salt,
prepared
in
advance
and
hidden
under
the
surgeon’s
table.
The author must
acknowledge,
however,
that the
psychic surgeons know
very
well
the
art
of massage and
the
chiropractic,
that sometimes they
issue
some very clever diagnoses
(in
trance
condition),
that they
are
able
to
create
a
state
of
lucid
hypnosis,
of
analgesia,
and
often
of
swift
haemostasis—all
this
by methods
called
paranormal.
The
author
explains
these
phenomena
on
a
historical
basis: He
thinks
it might
be
connected
with
the
local
spiritistic
Christian
Philippine
sects,
and
with
the
more
considerable
"transcultural"
medicine,
which
shows
many
similarities
with
that
of
Brazil
and
Africa.
The
physicians
explain
the
phenomena
of
healing
as
follows:
The
surgeon
healer
creates
in
the
mind
of
the
patient
a
particular
monoideism,
more
or
less
suggestive,
and
emo-
tionally capable of modifying the somatic and
visceral
con-
ditions
(by
means
of
the
cortical
visceral
centers,
the
diencephalic-mesencephalic zone and
the autonomic nervous
system),
according
to
neurophysiological
and
psychological
dynamics previously described by the author
in
his
treatise
on medical hypnosis.

Chronovision.
Metapsichica Rivista
Italiana di Parapsicologia, 1972 (Jan/Jun),
27(1/2),
18-21.
"Chronovision"
is
a
new
term
defined
as
the
pos-
sibility
of
seeing
again
the
images
and
of
hearing
again
the sounds of the
past.
The clamor aroused by
the
publi-
cations on
this
subject
indicates
only
that
these
problems
exist.
Their concrete
reality
is very
different.
