SUBJECT;
Rosemary Brown's Conversations with the Dead
4.
Clearly it does not follow from the presumptive fact
that Mrs.
Brown hears voices and sees other manifestations of
spirits that there are
(in an objective sense)
such spirits.
Schizophrenics and others
(e.g.,
Joan of Arc)
have had similar
perceptions that have not been amenable to intersubjectxve
verification.
Nothing revealed by the spirits to Mrs.
Brown
and reported in her book appears to be sufficiently remarkable
in depth of detail to require me to accept Mrs.
Brown's expla-
nation of spiritual origin of these messages
as the only plausible
explanation
5,
At the present state of science there
is no algorithm
to determine whether or not a particular musical composition
is
in the style of Bach
(for example)
.
But even
if there were
such an algorithm it would not be decisive
in the present in-
stance because
if Bach
is adventuresome enough to have learned
English,
I
see no reason why he might not today be composing
music in almost any style.
6.
Mrs.
Brown on occasion communicates with non-musicians.
Einstein,
in particular,
has revealed to her his new equation:
"S(Q)R ® Infinity".
I append a xerox copy of Einstein's reported
message.
If you think the message really originates from Einstein
you are likely to be impressed with Mrs.
Brown's abilities,
if
you think Einstein never would have come up with the quoted
discourse,
you are likely to dismiss Mrs.
Brown,
notwithstanding
the favorable introduction to her book by the Bishop of Southwark
who has his own reasons
for believing in life after death.
