From George Meek's "The Magic of Living Forever"

"Materialization" is by all odds the most difficult aspect of survival evidence for us to accept with our rational mind. In 1972 I organized a team of British and American scientists to go to Brazil to try to capture on video tape or movie film, evidence of materialization. For various reasons we were not successful in the 2-week period which we could spend in Brazil, but I thought you might be interested in seeing these few photographs of what I consider a successful demonstration of the phenomenon of materialization, previously accomplished by a team of14 medical doctors, psychiatrists and lay persons in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

In the photo at the far left we see a medium whose hands are strapped together and whose legs are strapped to the chair, sitting in a cage made of ½-inch steel bars. In the other photo, taken after the medium had fallen into a deep trance, ectoplasm has started to issue from her left ear. (On close examination we see a cluster of small pearl-like balls forming at the edge of the ectoplasmic mass)

In this photograph the ectoplasmic material has assembled into the figure of a nun whose arms reached out through the bars to take and hold the open Bible! The arrows indicate where the figure of the nun is starting to come through the iron bar cage! Of course you will remember that I told you earlier that all of our material world, including these iron bars, is 99.99% empty space. (And you will recall the photo in my laboratory which clearly showed the chair back through my body.

Here the figure is completely materialized, and standing outside the cage. You can see such complete details as the crucifix, the seemingly woven texture of the garments, and (above the forehead) a pearl-like ornament which was one of the first bits of the figure to materialize as it passed from the medium's ear. This figure was identified as a sister of the medium, a Catholic nun who had died two years previously.
