Chances are you have a well-worn, dog-eared copy of one or both books stashed somewhere on your bookshelf. The 14th Dalai Lama himself wrote the forward for The Case for Reincarnation.</p><p>What you might not have heard is that Joe Fisher, at age 53, committed suicide by throwing himself off a limestone cliff at Elora Gorge, Canada.</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.messagetoeagle.com/images/joefisher.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p><p><em>Image Credit: Joe Fisher</em></p><p></p><p>What makes this story even more disturbing is that shortly before his death, Fisher's final book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1931044023/beyondthecurt-20" target="_blank"><strong>The Siren Call of Hungry Ghosts</strong></a>, an investigation into channeling and spirit guides-described by his publisher as "his gripping journey into a realm of darkness and deception" was republished by Paraview Press.</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1931044023/beyondthecurt-20" target="_blank"> <img src="http://www.messagetoeagle.com/images/hungryghosts_book.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></p><p></p><p>In one of Fisher's last communications with his editor, he stated that the spirits he had angered as a result of writing the book were still causing him trouble.</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.messagetoeagle.com/images/hungryghosts_scroll.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p><p><em>Image Credit: 12th Century Buddhist depiction of earthbound spirit or "hungry ghost".</em></p><p></p><p>One of Fisher's close friends, author Colin Wilson, was baffled by the apparent suicide, because Fisher had written, "Those who learn that they have killed themselves in past lives are quickly brought to the realization that suicide, far from being an answer to life's problems, is instead the violent breaking of the lifeline. If the suicide could only realize the resulting intensification of difficulty which must enter the life to come, suicide would never be contemplated."</p><p>Fisher's suicide left many of his friends and associates pondering whether his death had anything to do with the book and "weird experiences" he'd had while investigating the claims of channelers' and spirit guides.</p><p>They probably wondered if he might have been pushed off of the cliff or driven crazy by the entities he maligned.</p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'">Fisher's 'weird experiences' began when he attended a séance, and was told that his 'spirit guide' was a young Greek Girl, Filipa, who had been his lover in a previous incarnation.</span></span></span></span></p><p>The details she gave were deeply convincing to Fisher, and he eventually fell in love and became enamored with her.</p><p><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Arial'"> Fisher was equally impressed by the other spirits he encountered, one who claimed to be an ex-Royal Air Force pilot, named Ernest Scott, and another who claimed to be a Cockney veteran of World War One named Harry Maddox. </span></span></p><p>Fisher's disillusionment began when he attempted to verify the spirit's stories, to find out if the names and details they related could be traced to actual historical records and individuals. It turned out that all of the spirit's information had been falsified-not by the channelers, whom he believed were unwitting participants, but by the spirits themselves.</p><p>"Their knowledge is impressive," writes Fisher of these four and other channeled entities he investigated, "their insight remarkable, their charismatic hold on their followers undeniable. Moreover, the voices' ostensible link to a higher and greater state of being seems to place them above suspicion in the minds of those who prize their counsel. Yet surely it is important-essential, even - to establish, if possible, the nature of the beast that is shuffling through the pipeline created by the trance. Who are these entities really? . . . The answer to that question is as unwelcome as it is unavoidable . . . the evidence left me in little doubt that earthbound spirits or 'hungry ghosts' have wormed their way into that juicy apple of spiritual regeneration known as The New Age."</p><p>Fisher's conclusion: the channeled entities were nothing more than malevolent ghosts who no longer had physical bodies, but longed to live again, and would take on the form of whatever the channeler consciously or unconsciously wanted them to be, simply for the ghoulish pleasure of reveling in another fleshly, human body on the earthly plane.</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.messagetoeagle.com/images/gustavdore_02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p><p><em>Image Credit: 19th Century, Gustave Dore</em></p><p></p><p>Fisher claims that at least two entities with which he was familiar with hungered for "vicarious sexual thrills" through their subjects; famed channeler, Seth, occasionally asked for a glass of wine or beer to enjoy the material realm through its channeler's senses.</p><p>Another famous channeler holds "wine ceremonies" during her sessions, and once commanded one of her followers in attendance to relate his sexual encounters with another entity while he was inebriated.</p><p>Sometimes the relationship between the channeler and the entity proves to be profitable beyond people's wildest imaginations. There are many channelers who make in excess of hundreds of thousands, and even millions of dollars a year.

They live in mansions, jet-set around the world, threaten and sue their critics, and gratify themselves with all the materiality of the world that wealth can buy.</p><p>Fisher further states: "Every reference that I uncovered concerning earthbound spirits seemed to fit the channeling phenomenon at large . . . Ancient spiritual teachings from a wide range of cultures tell of hosts of disembodied beings inhabiting a dimension which lies closet to earth. This lower astral realm, a gloomy cesspool of the dead peopled by the spirits of those who have lived base, ignorant, or selfish lives. Afflicted with all manner of craving for terrestrial pleasure, their decadent existence thrives on attachment to needy and unsuspecting individuals on Earth."</p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.messagetoeagle.com/images/gustavdore_01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p><p><em>Image Credit: 19th Century, Gustave Dore</em></p><p></p><p>British psychologist Stan Gooch, in his book 'The Paranormal', describes the teachings of 'spiritual guides' as "a kind of intellectual candy-floss . . . when you chew on these utterances, there is nothing there.
