E-mail from Michael Roll to Sam Nicholls (December 10, 2002): James Randi

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"[Randi] and his supporters are always given total freedom on all media and educational outlets in the UK to attack arguably two of the greatest scientists that Great Britain has ever produced: The President of the Royal Society and holder of the Order of Merit, Sir William Crookes, and the inventor of radio, Sir Oliver Lodge FRS. No scientist, however well qualified, is allowed on media and educational outlets to balance these attacks."

Letter from Dr Peter Wadhams to Michael Roll (August 11, 2000): Survival After Death

In his letter, Dr Wadhams writes:
"(...) everyone in the UK is brought up from childhood (...) with basic Christian concepts which include the survival of death. But nobody (including priests) then thinks or says any more about it - indeed, death is a forbidden subject in our society."

"Acceptance of survival after death is something which produces a shattering change in one's whole outlook on life (...). In my case, it didn't, and I think I know why. It was just intellectual acceptance (...). I never achieved emotional acceptance of survival - which would mean being absolutely convinced by personal experience."

E-mail from Michael Roll to Victor Zammit (August 25, 2002): Professional Wreckers

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"[Dr John] Beloff is the perfect ally for James Randi and all the rest of the professional wreckers who are fighting with all their might to block the secular scientific case for survival from reaching the public."

E-mail from Michael Roll to Charles Lowson (November 17, 2002): Only the Proof of Survival After Death is Censored, Evidence is Allowed Out

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
"As biologists flatly refuse to recognise people in the invisible part of the universe, most of their conclusions are just as false as the base that the physicists have started from. Until they all do a complete u-turn orthodox scientific teaching is going in the same direction as the Church - nowhere."

E-mail from Michael Roll to John Samson (September 16, 2002): Society for Psychical Research

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"This crushing proof of survival after death was not only censored by those who control what sees the light of day within the one-god religion of Spiritualism. It has also been censored by the thought police who have infiltrated the Society for Psychical Research ever since I first submitted these reports in 1983."

Letter from Michael Roll to The Royal Society (April 26, 2002): Philosophical Balance

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
"I see that Professor Bernard Carr, the President of the SPR, has been booked to speak at The Royal Society on 9th May. May those of us who have started from the base that Sir William Crookes and Sir Oliver Lodge were correct in their conclusions be permitted to balance the thoughts of Prof. Carr and the hierarchy of the SPR?"

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
"Mrs. Thatcher chose an Archbishop of Canterbury whom she could rely on to play the game - not let the public know that the Christian religion is a gigantic hoax on the human race."

Letter from Michael Roll to John Samson (11 July 2001): Psychical Research Involving Selected Mediums (PRISM)

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
"The fact that American scientists are behaving like seekers after knowledge (scientists) will really put the pressure on the hierarchy of the Society for Psychical Research who have been censoring papers that connect survival after death with the scientific discipline of subatomic physics."

E-mail from Michael Roll to Victor Zammit (July 2, 2001): The Scientific Proof of Survival After Death

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"Uncomfortable discoveries in physics that prove we all survive the death of our physical bodies are being deliberately blocked from even coming to the attention of people in Great Britain for them to accept or reject as the case may be. This is solely to keep the old-boy network ticking over nicely."

E-mail from Michael Roll to Gary Schwartz (May 1, 2003): The Scientific Proof of Survival After Death Belongs to Every Person on Earth

Open Letter from Michael Roll to Professor John Poynton (November 28, 2005): A Fair Balance in SPR Publications

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"Surely in a situation as divided as this, rules should be made that all editors must be duty bound to always balance these two conflicting opinions, especially as I have proved to you that scientists within The Royal Society are relying on their colleagues within the SPR to keep a sharp look out for any important discoveries in what Sir Oliver Lodge called "Psychic Science"?"

E-mail from Professor Peter Wadhams to an Inquirer (February 11, 2002): Ignoring Positive Evidence for "Psi"

In his e-mail, Prof. Wadhams writes:
"The cumulative evidence for the existence of psi, for instance, is absolutely overwhelming, both from carefully framed statistical experiments designed to detect tiny effect sizes and from case studies of more spectacular spontaneous cases. (...) Yet psi today scarcely seems to enter the consciousness of most scientists."

Letter from Michael Roll to Ray Taylor (February 5, 2002): Censorship in the SPR

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
"In spite of what Professor David Fontana says, those who control the Society for Psychical Research censor vital information that is upsetting to the powerful religious and scientific establishments. It's called peer-refereeing but it still boils down to censorship."

Letter from Michael Roll to Ray Taylor (December 1, 2001): Linking Survival with Subatomic Physics

This letter was written in response to Prof. David Fontana's letter in the December 2001 issue of Psychic World.

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
"Psychologists and parapsychologists get very upset when people like me follow Sir Oliver Lodge and link survival after death with the scientific discipline of subatomic physics. They feel that their authority is threatened."

Letter from John Samson to Victor Zammit (July 7, 2001): IS THERE A WIDENING DIVISION BETWEEN PARAPSYCHOLOGISTS AND SURVIVALISTS AT THE SPR?

Part of this letter was published in Psychic News.

In his letter, John Samson writes:
"I am well aware that cultural and educational conditioning makes the truly open mind a difficult thing to achieve in any society, but I discovered the level of equivocation and negativity in the upper echelons of the SPR to be quite remarkable, especially in view of the work done by its pioneers and the volume of psychical evidence they accumulated."

Open Letter from Michael Roll to John Samson (April 1, 2001): SPR Censoring Scientific Proof of Survival After Death

In his letter, Michael Roll writes:
"In April's Psychic World, letters from the Secretary of the SPR and its President have totally ignored the fact that every paper presented to the SPR that links the subject of survival after death with the scientific discipline of subatomic physics is censored by those who are running the show. This proves that the SPR does have a "corporate opinion"."

E-mail from Michael Roll to Melody Mehta (January 9, 2002): Church and State

E-mail from Michael Roll to Victor Zammit (May 1, 2002): The Vatican Takes Its Own Scientific Path

In his e-mail, Michael Roll writes:
"They date everything from 1543, Copernicus, the Roman Catholic priest who said the Earth goes round the Sun. They are of course very careful not to let the public know that Copernicus came across the work of the great Greek scientist Aristarchus 280 BC! The Vatican has now embraced Darwin hook, line and sinker. However, again they are very careful not to mention Alfred Russel Wallace who was the co-author of the Theory of Evolution. He has been written out of our Christian history books because he put forward the secular case for survival after death as a branch of physics - that we are dealing with natural forces in the universe.

All the time orthodox scientists have gone down the wrong path - the Big Bang and Einstein's Theory of Relativity they are no danger whatsoever to the power of the priests. It makes the priests the only alternative, they keep the mystery going and their lucrative monopoly on the vast life after death industry."

E-mail from Michael Roll to Melody Mehta (May 19, 2002): Ronald Pearson

Open Letter from John Samson (January 9, 2001): Survivalists in the SPR

This letter was written after Professor Bernard Carr was made President of the SPR.

Professor Bernard Carr and his committee rejected Ronald Pearson's paper that he had prepared for the 23rd International Conference of the SPR held at the University of Durham in September 1999. He also censored Michael Roll's paper that told the story of how mothers had been physically reunited with their "dead" children over and over again.
Professor Carr justified this decision with the following words:
"Your topic is not really appropriate for the conference audience.”


In his letter, John Samson writes:
"when one links this statement with the vociferous attempts by those at the heart of the SPR who wished to suppress the Scole Report and regarded it as 'an embarrassment to the Society', then we are confronted by a most regrettable situation indeed.”

Open Letter from Ron Pearson to John Samson (August 13, 1999): Does the Society for Psychical Research Have a "Corporate Policy"?

In his letter, Ron Pearson writes:
"The corporate policy of the SPR is to support a paradigm of established physics: that mind is mere brain function.
(…)
This is in direct conflict with an overwhelming bulk of evidence, which shows that our immortal minds transfer to another system of matter invisible and untouchable to us (since it operates on a different quantum wavelength). I think this is the main reason the Church has tried to suppress the truth about the real nature of spirituality for so many centuries."
