The original article below (A Closer Look at Have Heart: bridging the gulf between heaven and earth - Exposing The Deception of "Christian" Clairaudience and Clairsentience) was published in January 2012, on the original Spiritual Research Network website, at Spiritual-Research-Network.com. The article was updated in August of 2013 and has since that time been slightly altered for better readability.

More Concerns About the Lack of Discernment Pertaining to Grace Chapel Leipers Fork and Steve Berger's Ministry
One should also take note of this, that Pastor Steve Berger of Grace Chapel Leipers Fork, (Franklin, Tennessee), even after ten years from the original publishing date of his book Have Heart (June 1, 2010), is still listed as an active Calvary Chapel affiliate church/pastor on the Calvary Chapel Church finder/church locator website. In 2015, Brian Brodersen, Don Stewart and Josh Turansky together refuted praying to/talking to the dead (necromancy) on Calvary Chapel's flagship radio program, Pastor's Perspective (streamed live on Sep. 29, 2015, K-Wave Radio).
One simply has to wonder why the Calvary Chapel Association has overlooked such a dangerous thing as one of their fellowship churches/pastors publishing and promoting material that encourages communicating with those "on the other side."

A Closer Look at Have Heart: bridging the gulf between heaven and earth
Exposing The Deception of "Christian" Clairaudience and Clairsentience
Published Jan 2012
1st Update Aug 26, 2013
2nd Update Aug 10, 2020
Can Christians, like those who are involved in occult practices, hear communications from, and sense the "presence" of deceased loved ones? Or are these communications and feelings of "presence" received through occult (hidden) practices such as clairaudience (hearing/listening) and clairsentience (feeling/touching)?
The material in this article seeks to address experiences (from any and all) and Christian nomenclature (words) that have been put forth in order to endorse the alleged initiating contact of the spirits of deceased loved ones with those who are living on our side of deaths door. Just who really is visiting Christians and what are the means by which these visitations are occurring?
The following material is by no means meant to poke fun at or belittle the Steve Berger family and the loss of their dearly beloved son Josiah. SRN has posted this article out of our own concern about much of the material found in Have Heart: bridging the gulf between heaven and earth, material that upon in-depth study, very closely parallels the world of Spiritistic affluence and influence, primarily regarding clairaudience and clairsentience--hearing and sensing the presence of spirit beings and allegedly engaging in passive and active communication with them.
As a research ministry, SRN shares a mutual concern with other ministries that also have examined the unscriptural practices found in Have Heart. While it is obvious that the author (and endorsers) of the book do not openly advocate Spiritism, necromancy, etc., great confusion stems from the published double-talk one can find in Have Heart, hence our concern and that of numerous others.
It is to be noted that only once in all of Scripture is communication with the dead observed. This one-time instance in Scripture is a clear condemnation from God's prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 28:7-20) against living human beings attempting to communicate with the dead. God condemns this practice outright! God brought judgment upon Saul and the witch (spirit medium, Spiritist) of Endor for attempting to traffick (communicate) with the deceased, with the dead. In this one instance God allowed the real Samuel to be "brought up" from the dead in order to condemn forever this evil practice of contacting and/ or dialoguing with the dead, discarnate (deceased) human beings
According to God's Word, attempting to contact the dead was banned in Israel (Deuteronomy 18:11). All who seek to communicate with the dead become spiritually defiled (Leviticus 19:31). This includes attempting to pray to or contact departed loved ones and trying to listen to, hear, sense, smell and touch them, even if something appears and claims the loved one's identity. Demons seek to impersonate the dead in order to deceive well meaning, and grieving humans. Even if spirit beings, ghosts, poltergeists, etc. seek to initiate communication with humans, all forms of this practice have been condemned in one fell swoop by God Himself! It does not matter who these spirits claim to be, God says that humans are to have nothing to do with it!
"When you come into the land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. 12 For all who do these things are an abomination to the LORD, and because of these abominations the LORD your God drives them out from before you. You shall be blameless before the LORD your God. For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the LORD your God has not appointed such for you." (Deuteronomy 18:9-14)
"Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God." (Leviticus 19:31)
It is not deceased people who are ultimately being contacted through the séance, the Ouija Board, or prayers offered to the dead. It is demonic spirits that masquerade as deceased family members, personalities, the alleged "Higher-Self," the "Ascended Masters," the "Collective Conscious," "Evolutionary Consciousness," etc. (2 Corinthians 11:14-15).The Bible is clear that Satan himself and other fallen angels (demons) deceptively transform themselves into angels of light, in order to mislead humanity.
"And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works." (2 Corinthians 11:14-15)
Furthermore, there are at least 150 biblical passages that address to some degree or another involvement with the eight different categories of occult practices—and the condemnation thereof. This fact alone should concern any Christian who reads Have Heart: bridging the gulf between heaven and earth and sees the closeness to familial spirit contact (Spiritism, spiritualism, mediumship) that these authors are describing.
According to Have Heart: bridging the gulf between heaven and earth, people have personally experienced "Josiah" coming to them in various ways, dreams, visitations, touches on the cheek, etc. Like the Bible, the authors of Have Heart condemn necromancy (Have Heart, p. 94-96), but then they also outright endorse listening to and sensing spirit beings around us, claiming that they still communicate with their deceased son.
"Jimmy's dream [Jimmy's dream?] is a great example of how we are surrounded and how our loved ones are connected to us. They know, they care about what we're going through, and there's a nearness that's not easy to explain but wondrous in reality...We are one body, connected here on earth, connected in Heaven, and connected between Heaven and earth. Our loved ones may show up in dreams or visits or other ways (who can limit God's imagination?), but the fact is that we're connected. Our loved ones are not "up there" and we are "down here." There is a thin veil, and we're connected to them, forever, in Christ." (Have Heart, p. 110).
"You don't father or mother a child for nineteen years and then hear God say, 'Oh, now you can't talk to him. You no longer have a relationship with him until you see him face to face in Heaven....' We still talk to Josiah, and it's going to be so great when we're together again." (Have Heart, p. 125).
This not only creates a mass of confusion for the reader, but can very easily lead undiscerning individuals into spirit contact, which God forbids. Whether one is a Christian or not is beside the point, God condemns communicating with the dead.
Previous to writing this article, numerous people expressed their own concerns to the ministry of SRN about Chuck Missler (K-House) and Greg Laurie's (Harvest Christian Fellowship) endorsements within the first pages of Steve Berger's book. Growing numbers of people who have been influenced by the ministries of Chuck Missler and Greg Laurie are in dismay over the lack of discernment that has been displayed by their endorsements of this book. Dr. Missler's and Pastor Laurie's endorsements, along with William P. Young (Author of New York Times Best Seller, The Shack), James Robison (Founder and President, LIFE Outreach International), and Senator Bill Frist's (M.D. and Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader) are on the first two pages of Have Heart (Have Heart, p. ii-iii). The fact that heresy promoting William Paul Young is in this list is a huge cause for alarm, and Chuck Missler's name is right above Young's name. Young believes in Universalism and outright rejects the full Penal substitutionary atonement of Christ on the cross as a substitute for sinners. Certainly this will be a cause of great concern for many who believe in Christ and seek to faithfully obey the Word of God.
For those who are upset upon reading the foregoing, you may do the research too, and arrive at the same conclusions. The Bible is clear that we must all "test all things," regardless of the popularity of the pastors, teachers and book endorsers.
"Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil." (1 Thess. 5:20-22)
One more important thing needs to be mentioned here. Former spirit mediums, witches, New Ager's, occultists, yoga gurus, etc., who are now Christian preachers and researchers/authors are seeing clearly the subtleties and craftiness of the New Spirituality (New Age) deception invading the church. Why do so many other Christian leaders refuse to see this, and/or refuse to listen to God's warnings through those who were once steeped in the darkness, and are now as committed Christians warning against these things? New Age spirituality teachings and occult practices are being couched in Christian nomenclature (names, designations). However, many fail to see this for what it really is and countless churchgoers are being deceived. Christian leaders are supposed to warn about such things, not see how close they can get to it in the name of intimacy with God and closeness to our deceased loves ones.
The shepherds and the watchman are supposed to work together, yet in many cases the shepherds are rejecting the watchman (doorkeepers). As a result the undiscerning sheep are being led astray into great danger.
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper [watchman] opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out." (John 10:1-3)
Miscellaneous quotes from
Have Heart: bridging the gulf
For the Christian who knows their Bible and understands God's prohibitions against every form of occult practice, as well as the dire consequences when individuals engage in them, these quotes from Steve and Sarah Berger's book ought to cause some serious concerns.
"Our minds need to be stretched to the other side."
(Steve & Sarah Berger, Have Heart: bridging the gulf between heaven and earth, p. xxii)
"And then one night, Josiah showed up in a dream"
(Have Heart, p. 68).
"He [God] used a dream in my life to further unfold the greatness of Heaven,
to reinforce the supernatural preservation of my son..."
"Only two weeks after Josiah went to Heaven,
I (Sarah) made it a habit to talk to Josiah...I would then be
in instant conversation with Jesus and Siah [Josiah]"
"It wasn't like he just appeared there. It was a sense of him coming into the aisle, and he got down on one knee and bent into my ear. He said, "Way worth it, Mr. Jim." Then, as quickly as he came, he left. It wasn't that he disappeared; rather, it was a sense of him leaving the sanctuary....He had a sense of speed about him, not that he was hurried, but as if life on earth was much slower than in Heaven—it's a different place, a different plane. I stood up and went over to my wife and told her, "Josiah was just here."
(Have Heart, p. 99-100.)
"Now, let's say right up front we're not talking about channeling, seances, or mediums trying to contact the dead. That's not what we're advocating and not what we're saying. Deuteronomy 18:10 forbids seeking those types of encounters.
What we are saying is that the Bible makes it clear that our loved ones in Heaven are alive, active, and aware - and we need to have heart and understand their vitality and nearness. We need to understand that God has the power to temporarily lift the veil between Heaven and earth at any time according to His good pleasure.
SAMUEL and SAUL
Let's look at 1 Samuel 28:15-19:
Now Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" And Saul answered, "I am deeply distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me and does not answer me anymore, neither by prophets nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, that you may reveal to me what I should do." Then Samuel said: "So why do you ask me, seeing the LORD has departed from you and has become your enemy? And the LORD has done for Himself[a] as He spoke by me. For the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David. Because you did not obey the voice of the LORD nor execute His fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore the LORD has done this thing to you this day. Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines. And tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The LORD will also deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines."
Though Samuel had departed from the earth, he was still keenly aware of Saul's past and present disobedience. More than that, he knew about God's future judgment of Saul, his sons, and the national of Israel. Let's be clear, 1 Samuel 28:12 says the medium saw Samuel. This wasn't some kind of demonic spirit. It was Samuel coming from Heaven. Why did God allow this? We don't know, and that's not our purpose. What we do know is, Samuel showed up. It's just clear from Scripture that sometimes they know what's happening here on earth.
(Have Heart, p. 94-96)
"Our loved ones may show up in dreams or visits or other ways (who can limit God's imagination?), but the fact is that we're connected....There is a thin veil, and we're connected to them, forever, in Christ"
(Have Heart, p. 110).
"You don't father or mother a child for nineteen years and then hear God say, 'Oh, now you can't talk to him. You no longer have a relationship with him until you see him face to face in Heaven....'We still talk to Josiah, and it's going to be so great when we're together again"
Why did God allow
the real Samuel to appear?
Steve Berger writes, "Why did God allow this? We don't know, and that's not our purpose."
Actually—we do know why the real Samuel appeared. God allowed Samuel to appear in order to pronounce a scathing one-time pronouncement of God's judgment upon Saul, first King of Israel, for his wicked and abominable attempt of trafficking in the realm of the devil—seeking to utilize the witch at Endor (one who has a familiar spirit; spirit medium) to contact and consult the dead. In this case, in the only séance recorded in Scripture, God declares judgment on Saul, through the real Samuel. Furthermore, God killed Saul for his disobedience as is clearly seen in 1 Chronicles 10:13-14.
"So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse." (1 Chornicles 10:13-14)
Based on the Word of God, we do know why God allowed the real Samuel to be brought up from the dead, to condemn once and forever the practice of seeking to communicate with the deceased, this side of eternity. God instituted the death penalty for those seeking to communicate with the dead, and for good reason.
Steve Berger endorsed
William Paul Young's best-selling
fiction novel The Shack?
On somewhat of a side note here, but of equal concern to the discerning Christian, is the fact that Steve Berger has given his glowing endorsement in the introductory pages Praise for The Shack section of William Paul Young's (Wm. Paul Young) best-selling fictional novel, The Shack.
"Wrapped in creative brilliance,
THE SHACK is spiritually profound,
theologically enlightening, and life -impacting.
It has my highest recommendation.
We are joyfully giving copies away by the case."
—Steve Berger, pastor at Grace Chapel, Leipers Fork, TN
(Wm. Paul Young, The Shack, (Newbury Park, CA: Windblown Media, 2007)
So too, William Paul Young (Wm. Paul Young) has given his own glowing endorsement in the Front Matters section of Steve and Sarah Berger's Have Heart: bridging the gulf between heaven and earth.
"Framed within the most intimate of losses,
this book allows its readers to peek into life-and-death
perspectives of those who follow Jesus."
WILLIAM PAUL YOUNG,
Author of New York Times Best Seller, The Shack
(Steve Berger, Have Heart: bridging the gulf between heaven and earth (Franklin, TN: Grace Chapel, Inc., 2010)
Even though the author of The Shack, William Paul Young, is a recognized false teacher and The Shack text has thirteen heresies in it—all wrapped in creative Christian jargon as a fiction book, Steve Berger of Grace Chapel Leipers Fork (Franklin, Tennessee) speaks highly of it, gives his "highest recommendation" of it, and boldly states, "We are joyfully giving copies away by the case."
Quotes expressing concern,
biblical warnings, and definitions
of Clairaudience and Clairsentience
Larry DeBruyn,
Have Heart: A Review and Commentary - Part 2.
The "Canaanization" of the Church, Do the Dead Communicate with the Living?
"The Berger's dutifully remind their readers: 'Remember, anything we think God is saying or revealing [through personal experiences] must line up with the Word and the nature, character, and will of God.' (HH, 44) But the book contains material which does not agree with this assertion."
God's Warning Against All Eight Forms
of Trafficking in the World of the Occult
"There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up [i.e. prays to, or consults a medium on behalf of] the dead." (Deuteronomy 18:10-11)
Warning Against Giving Heed to
Deceiving Spirits and Doctrines of Demons
"Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons..." (1 Timothy 4:1)
Definition of Clairaudience (hearing/listening)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clairvoyance
"In the field of parapsychology, clairaudience [from late 17th century French clair (clear) and audience (hearing)] is a form of extra-sensory perception wherein a person acquires information by paranormal auditory means. It is often considered to be a form of clairvoyance.[25] Clairaudience is essentially the ability to hear in a paranormal manner, as opposed to paranormal seeing (clairvoyance) and feeling (clairsentience). Clairaudient people have psi-mediated hearing. Clairaudience may refer not to actual perception of sound, but may instead indicate impressions of the "inner mental ear" similar to the way many people think words without having auditory impressions. But it may also refer to actual perception of sounds such as voices, tones, or noises which are not apparent to other humans or to recording equipment. For instance, a clairaudient person might claim to hear the voices or thoughts of the spirits of persons who are deceased. In Buddhism, it is believed that those who have extensively practiced Buddhist meditation and have reached a higher level of consciousness can activate their "third ear" and hear the music of the spheres; i.e. the music of the celestial gandharvas. Clairaudience may be positively distinguished from the voices heard by the mentally ill when it reveals information unavailable to the clairaudient person by normal means (including cold reading or other magic tricks), and thus may be termed "psychic" or paranormal."
Definition of Clairaudience or "Clear Hearing"
http://www.spiritual-research-network.com/divinationforbidden.html
Clairaudience or "Clear Hearing", is usually defined as the ability to hear the voices or thoughts of spirits. Some Mediums hear as though they are listening to a person talking to them on the outside of their head, as though the Spirit is next to or near to the medium, and other mediums hear the voices in their minds as a verbal thought.
Definition of Clairsentience or "Clear Feeling"
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Clairsentience
"Clairsentience Is the ability to clearly feel energy or clear feeling. Feeling such things as emotions, thoughts, pain and yes even ghosts are made of energy. The stronger the energy of someones fears or thoughts the easier someone with clairsentience can feel it. It is an inner knowing the individual with the gift has come acustom to using and understanding as part of whom they are. For example the feeling of something is coming or knowing how someone is feeling and why."
God's Judgment on Saul for Enquiring of the Spirit Realm
So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; And enquired not of the LORD: therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse. (1 Chronicles 10:13-14)

Bendigo. Street entrance of the Town Hall. Decorated in gold leaf.
posted by alias denisbin on Thursday 13th of April 2017 11:36:58 PM
Sandhurst/Bendigo.Bendigo is figuratively and literally the city built on gold. Beneath the city is a maze of tunnels and shafts from one of the world's richest gold finds. Bendigo meant gold. Thirty seven separate quartz reefs lie beneath the city and gold was found in all of them. After the first alluvial gold was found in late 1851 diggers flocked to the goldfields. The wives of two workers on the 200,000 acre Ravenswood sheep run are credited with finding the first alluvial gold on the sheep station but many others have also claimed this distinction. Within weeks there were signs of this gold rush becoming another California type gold rush with hopeful diggers arriving from China, Italy, Germany, parts of the British Empire and the other colonies. The Victorian gold rushes transformed all of the Australian colonies. By mid 1852 there were 20,000 people on the Bendigo gold fields and this later swelled to 40,000 people in the Bendigo region. This figures included around 5,000 to 8,000 Chinese diggers and gold camp followers and businessmen. The names of some of the mines were taken from the gullies and regions of Bendigo and they are now suburbs of Bendigo - Kangaroo Flat, Eaglehawk, Golden Square, Long Gully, California Gully, Ironbark, etc. Gold mining might have begun on Bendigo Creek where the Gold Commissioners, police and courts set up but, mining soon spread through the entire Bendigo district. Camp Hill overlooking Bendigo Creek and Rosalind Park became the government centre from where police control was exercised. The old Bendigo Gaol (1859) is still up on the hill there next to the Camp Hill state school (1877). The government Survey Office was also built here in 1858 at the top of View Street on Camp Hill and the Police Barracks were constructed at the bottom of the hill in 1859. Bendigo was the world's richest and biggest gold field until the discovery of the Kalgoorlie goldfields in Western Australian in the early 1890s. It was the largest and most successful goldfield in eastern Australia. Between 1851 and 1954 when the Central Deborah Gold Mine closed in Bendigo some 700,000 kilograms of gold was extracted from the Bendigo region. The value of its gold in current terms would be about $30 billion. The goldfield covered an area roughly 30 kilometres long and 12 kilometres wide. There were thousands of diggers who sought alluvial gold- and found it- in the 1850s before they were replaced by small and large companies who sank deep shafts and dug tunnels to extract the gold from the quartz reefs in the 1860s and later. There were more than 5,000 registered gold mines in Bendigo. This led to Bendigo having its own Stock Exchange so that gold shares could be sold to investors in London and around the world through the marvel of the telegraph. Bendigo had one of the few regional stock exchanges in Australia until it closed in 2012. At least 140 mine shafts were sunk in Bendigo and some of them reached depths of 1,000 metres or more! Some of the poppet heads for these shafts still remain in Bendigo. One of the last mines to be formed was the Central Deborah Mining Company in 1939 and it was the last to operate. It only closed in 1954. Some of the most famous and successful of the Bendigo mining companies were: Shamrock, New Chum Hill, Lansell's 222, Victoria Hill, etc. Since the closure of the Central Deborah Mine in 1954 new mining techniques have been used in the 1980s and 1990s to try and extract yet more gold from the old mine shafts and workings. Clearly all the heritage and history of Bendigo is clearly rooted in its gold mining past. Probably no other Town Hall in Australia has 22 carat gold leaf embellishments across the ceiling. The original Town Hall was a simple two storey structure designed by the Town Clerk in 1859. A structure more befitting a wealthy gold mining city was later required and local architect William Vahland was commissioned to transform the Town Hall into a grand structure which he did. His new Town Hall was built between 1878 and 1886 with ornate plaster mouldings on both the interior and exterior and although Vahland's plan included a clock tower the clock was never installed. The town of Bendigo did not exist in formal terms until 1890 when a local committee was given the task of trying to decide who actually found the first gold and to decide upon a name for the city. Although the government town was known as Sandhurst, locally the town was always referred to as Bendigo. The committee asked local ratepayers who decided upon Bendigo for the city name in 1891 but they never decided unequivocally who found the first gold. But they did acknowledged that the claim of Mrs Margaret Kennedy of the Ravenswood Run was probably the best claim. The origins for Bendigo City go back to 1853 when land was surveyed and the city plan drawn up. Pall Mall near Bendigo Creek became the centre for commercial activity and it remains the main thoroughfare. Bendigo became a municipality in 1863 and its prosperity ushered in a period of grand building which continued into the 1870s and 1880s. The arrival of the railway from Melbourne in 1862 aided the town greatly in terms of industry and communications. By the early 1860s Bendigo had a flourishing industry base with flour mills, woollen mills, tanneries, quarries, foundries, a eucalyptus oil distillery and food production. The surrounding eucalyptus woodland was also felled and timber-cutting and saw milling was another important industry for the town. Mines need timber. Many of the architectural gems of early Bendigo were created from the architectural studio of William Charles (Carl Wilhelm) Vahland and his associates. Vahland was born in Hanover Germany in 1828. In 1849 he entered the most prestigious building school in Germany to learn the art of architecture. His theory and practical studies began at 6 am and finished at 9:30 pm except for the earlier finish at 7 pm on Saturdays. He studied architecture there for three years and learnt in great depth about Greek classical styles of architecture. His interests in this area influenced his architecture for the rest of his life. In 1852 after completing his studies he practised architect in Bremen and Hamburg before he sailed for the Victorian goldfields in 1854. He travelled immediately to Bendigo but had little success on the goldfields. By 1855 he was employed as a carpenter before he became a naturalised British subject in 1857 which was also the year in which he established his own carpentry workshop making puddling cradles for miners. He ran his workshop and later architectural practice with his business partner Robert Getzschmann, with whom he worked until Getzschmann's death in 1875. Within a year or so of 1857 they were both working as architects but Vahland was also a founding member of the Bendigo Building Society which later became the Bendigo Bank. He was a Justice of the Peace and was active in local affairs. He married an English woman in 1859 and built his own residence in Barkley Terrace. Vahland went on to become the preeminent architect of Bendigo. He designed around 80 public structures for the city including a number of its best known buildings. He is known to have designed around 200 public and commercial buildings in the goldfields area of Central Victoria. He probably also designed dozens of large and small residences that have not been ascribed to his studio. He worked for over 50 years creating much of the visual landscape of the city. He died in 1915 after World War One broke out when sadly a few members of his beloved Masonic Lodge (he had been a member since 1857 and had been the Grand Master) tried to have him expelled because of his German background! Some of the notable Bendigo buildings designed by William Vahland are: the Alexandria Fountain in Pall Mall 1881; the City Family Hotel 1872; the Commercial Bank of Australia 1875; the original Post Office 1870; the Bendigo Art Gallery 1873 which was originally the Masonic Hall and Temple; the original Art Gallery 1867; the Temperance Hall 1860; the Sandhurst Club Building 1893; St Kilian's Catholic Church 1888; St Paul's Anglican Rectory 1885; All Saints Catholic Cathedral 1869; the Wesleyan Methodist church additions 1877; the Congregational Church 1890; the Lutheran Church 1857; the Convent of Mercy 1865; the Goldfields Hospital 1858, 1864 and 1866; the Bendigo Benevolent Asylum 1862, 1864 and 1872 etc. In addition to these significant structures in central Bendigo he designed churches and other public buildings in Eaglehawk, Long Gully, Ironbark, California Gully, Kangaroo Flat etc.

So much aweomeness in the last few NewPages! Even in the face of what seemed like a certain end, the Timewaiters have clung together and been positive and supportive in their fear and worry. I salute you all! I consider myself very, very lucky to be a part of the OTT-community.
Time moves in mysterious ways.

Because they watched Dark Angel, John Doe, Kyle XY (which seems just like John Doe from what I read) Firefly, and/or Lost, and they have not enough faith in the Great Lord Randall.
It's so weird seeing BlitzGirl post short, prompt posts. I never thought about which now-timezone she was in before, but now it looks like it might even be near mine. See, she even posted while I was writing this post! And it was something I'd been thinking of, too.
Michael Jackson's "Black or White" ... from the album "This is It"?
There is a little hump (or 2) in the screen. That's an indication it's not the sea (notoriously b.i.g).
I've looked on Google Maps giving these 2 humpy clues, and it seems to be in the vicinity of an area adjacent to a location.
I predict M&C will be walking in the frame, probably from the left, carrying bags. Maybe they'll tak monsters, or some kind of weird mirror. These are just examples; it could also be something much better.

This would be a really weird fade effect in a normal-speed animation, by the way. Slowly fade to white, followed by an instantaneous (fade-less) switch to a new scene?
Every new beginning starts with a Big Bang. Then it fades out.
Some era themed cookies to add to the party.
We were waiting for It all this time, and the whole thing was just a publicity stunt for that album?
I wonder if the latest frame should mark the start of a new eon?
So many happenings while I coma'd!
Welcome blitzgirl!! Thank you for saving Time!
I wonder what will come after that intense era of white destruction.
Yes, that's the one that jumped in my head first, but I don't know. I like StratPlayer's Three Dog Night snippet.
And a Valiant Cookie! Hello!

Edit: I wish my comments could just be posted instantly, instead of having to go through the approval process. No point in posting if nobody is going to see it, right?

1Except I was worried for a page or two.
Did you just pull an all-nighter to witness the fadeout?
So, I was organizing my own quotes collection, and I noticed we don't have a name for this period.
I suggest "The New Era" and "The Post-fading Period".

Yay, Cueball and Megan are back!
Edit: Apparently my comments get stuck in Time while they go through an approval process... This is quite annoying. I will try again later.

Onward, Megan and Cueball! Onward!
So the prophets were right, we faded to Megan and Cueball on their Quest for the Other Rivers.
Edit: I ran my diff on the two last newpix: only difference is Megan and Cueball appearing.

But... Um, er... Waitaminit... I thought... Say wha?!???
So is that M & C after they've left the beach or have we looped around back in Time to them coming TO the beach???
I think it would be fair to say that the end of the fading marks the beginning of a whole new eon. The first six eras with their thirty periods being only the first of (hopefully) many eons.
So something happened this weekend and I've found myself 15 NewPages in the past. (and when I fell asleep1 last night, I was only 5 NewPages behind.
Seems I slipped into a whirling time vortex of some kind. Hopefully I can catch up and find out what happened.

I think semencancercoffeebabiesspamseamenpeanutbutterwithsprinkles just exploded out of all my orifices at the sight of two stickfiguers on a black ground with white background.

Maybe the "Era of Everybody Has To Update Their Sigs"?

Oh good, it was just the microwave beeping. My lunch is ready.
I feel it my duty to finally post and make myself visible.
First of all, congratulations and welcome to BlitzGirl. What an incredible journey through Time!
Unfortunately, I would be lying if I were to say that I followed the OTC with any diligence. Since the Beginning I have remained on the Outside, venturing in only to check up on progress every 12-36 Newpix or so, and filling in the gaps with the compiled gifs.
I have lurked long enough on the forum to feel moved by the events of the past ~24 Newpix. BlitzGirl made it, just as it looked like the End of the OTC was upon us. But just when it seemed like all was finally over, what joy to have come back to see something after #ffffff! With a new scene, and the return of Cueball and Megan, I think it is only right that I thank all the Initiates, who have really created something grand.
