Rudolf Passian

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rudolf E. Passian (born February 14, 1924 in Reichenberg , Czechoslovakia ; † March 7, 2018 in Kriens , Switzerland ) was a Swiss parapsychologist and writer .

Life

Rudolf Passian was born on February 14, 1924 in Reichenberg (Northern Bohemia). He was badly wounded in World War II. In the Soviet occupation zone, a military court sentenced him to 25 years in prison for alleged anti-Soviet propaganda. Until 1955 he was interned in a prison camp that was hermetically sealed from the outside world. These hunger years made him think about the "where from and where to" and the nature of the process of dying . As a result, he dealt intensively with parapsychological writings. In 1955 he fled to the west. Despite his physical handicap as a disabled veteran, Rudolf Passian made numerous study trips to England, India, the Philippines and South America (Brazil, Paraguay, Chile, Argentina, Peru). In addition to research into the hereafter , he was interested in extraordinary healing and diagnostic methods in peoples of the Third World. He also observed the variety of spiritualistic , animistic and magical phenomena in Afro-Brazilian cults (such as Candomblé , Quimbanda , Umbanda or Voodoo ) and in Kardec spiritualism.

Rudolf Passian dealt with esoteric topics in a number of books . The author himself saw his task primarily in drawing interested people to the life after death (with all its ethical consequences). The other topics of parapsychology actually only served him as a means to an end. Passian wrote for the magazine Wendezeit for years.

Passian was the founder and operator of aid organizations in Brazil. This includes a children's aid organization and the establishment of a small medical station for a remote Indian village.

Honors

Rudolf Passian was an honorary member of the Swiss Parapsychological Society (SPG). A butterfly species newly discovered in Brazil was named after him.
