Supernormal faculties in Man- Dr Eugene Osty
Here follows the premonition as reproduced in the Revue Metapsychique, No. 7 of 1921:
Extraordinary predictions, made during the course of the last Russo- Polish War by an auditory medium, Madame Przybylska. Madame Przybylska is not a professional medium; she gives only private seances to friends.
She "hears" the messages transmitted to her, and dictates their contents, which those present take down as uttered. All the following communications were read and recorded by the Central Committee of the S.P.R., Warsaw, immediately after the seances with Mme Przybylska, long before the realization of the predicted events.
The first message, obtained June 10th, 1920, was read at the sitting of the Central Committee on June 16th, 1920, under the presidency of M. Lebiedzinski, and the other members then present-Colonel Okolowicz, Mr. Rose, Dr. Sokolowski, Mr. Niemojeviki, Dr. Guirard, Mr. L. Grabowski, Mr. K. Bokowski, Mr. P. Smurlo, Mme Jastrzembska, Mme Wodzinska, Mr. Knechowicz, and Mme Gordon de Jurgielewicz.
The same procedure was followed with all the other messages whose genuineness is certified by numerous and competent witnesses. The first of the documents reproduced below was obtained June 10th, 1920, at a private seance given by the medium, in presence of the Countesses Marie and Jeanne de Walesska. It was read, as before stated, to the Central Committee of the S.P.R.,Warsaw, on June 16th. At that time the Poles seemed completely victorious; they occupied an important part of Russia, and had taken Kieff. The Bolshevists were everywhere in full retreat.
On June 9th the line of the River Socha had been forced, and on the 10th the victory of the Beresina was officially announced. The message was received with stupefaction and entire incredulity. The messages received and the events that came to pass are here printed in parallel columns.
|
Message of June 10th, 1920 The council of Ministers is not yet constituted but sooner or later you will hear of Witos. |
Events realized The disaster predicted, though quite unexpected, did not fail to come about. |
|
Message of July 6th, read to the Central Council July 12th A great disaster. You will soon get orders to abandon the right bank of the Vistula. Disasters all through this month. |
Events realized
The events came to pass exactly. The invasion of Poland by the Bolsheviks began and was closely followed up.
|
|
Message of July 12th, read to the Central Committee July 21st. |
Events realized. |
|
By- the end of July your forces will be greater than those of the Bolsheviks. They will invade your land and there will be terrible disasters. But the troops of Lenin are dispersed in the month of August. The great change is on August 15th. A ray of joy comes from your greatest friend. The word for the present is-No disunion, and count on your own strength. That will have much influence at the peace Conference. |
It was on August 15th exactly that victory changed sides and Warsaw was saved |
|
Message of July 21st A visitant from Paris brings you an unexpected change. Your patriotism and heroism make a great impression on him. |
Events realized All these events came to pass. After the victory on the Vistula followed those at Kowel, Kovno, Vilna, and Lida. |
|
Great changes in August. Your strength is in the victories of Kowel and Kovno.
|
The rout of the Bolsheviks was complete. They lost most of their artillery and 100,000 prisoners.
|
On the 1st of August the medium left for Zakopane, a small health resort in the mountains. The communications were sent by post to the S.P.R., read and countersigned by the members.
The five messages received at Zakopane were taken down in the presence of Dr. Sochaki, Mr. Cienski, and Mme. Cienska, Mme. Abgarowicz, Count Dzieduszycki, and Countess Dzieduszycka.
|
Messages received, August 6th at Zakopane. Russia is victorious and the chief forces are towards Minsk and Terespol. The Polish forces have been beaten everywhere. Suddenly, aid from France, and much joy on the 15th of August. Warsaw will not be taken. Your dispersed armies will draw together again. A great victory for the Poles. The soldiers of the Soviets will be routed and driven out. You know that Warsaw is in despair. All the country round is occupied by the enemy. Every day brings horrible news. At Warsaw they expect the Bolsheviks, but fear will be changed into joy. |
Events realized Exact fulfilment of all details.
|
At the time of greatest distress it was reported in Zakopane that Warsaw had been occupied by the enemy.
|
August 13th Great changes. France comes to your aid. The Bolsheviks have been driven out of the town of Prznyss. Your old chief takes command and leads you to victory. It is Monday, August 15th. The enemy will not take your town. You are strong. Wait till Monday. Do not despair. |
Events realized Exact fulfilment of all. |
|
Message of August 14th, 1920 |
Events realized. The event was not realized but was imminent |
|
Message of August 15th, 1920 A betrayal and a misfortune at Dzialdovo (Soldau). There is a fraud by the Bolsheviks and the Prussians. Warsaw is jubilant, suddenly overjoyed and radiant. She is marvellously strong. How she fights! The whole world looks on and wonders at her victory. To-day is the great change: a bridge taken near Modlin. Tomorrow a new ray of hope, and after to-morrow such joy and hope. Your country is cleared of her enemies more quickly than one could have hoped. The Bolsheviks try to surround Lemberg; they pass the Strypa. But, I repeat, they will not take Lemberg. They have sworn they will be at Lemberg on Tuesday, but it is not true. Budienny's army is dispersed near that town.
|
Events realized. Impossible to be more exact and definite. All is absolutely true. The details of the battle of the Vistula, the alarm at Lemberg, the complicity of the Prussians at Soldau giving passage to the routed army through East Prussia. |
|
Message of August 19th, 1920 In a month great victories and a new disaster for the Bolsheviks. Complete defeat of the enemy. |
Event realized. |
