Krishtar,
Thanks for your response and comments, I found them particularly 
interesting. Years agoo in El Paso Texas I knew a man who lived in a rooming house I 
lived in, he was very fat and not able to be mobile. He made his living by 
making in the kitchen anti-cockroach cards. he made them on the stove top in a 
large mettle bowl. He melted Paraffin and Moth balls down into a liquid, added red 
dye. Then with a fan blowing across the top of the bowl he hung 3X r inch 
cardboard card from coat hanger wire and dipped them into the melted Paraffin and 
Moth Balls hot liquid mixture. Then repeatedly taking out they were cooled by 
the fan and redipped to add more solidified mass. after three time they were 
the right weight. He then used a rubber ink stamp to put his "company" name on 
and to market he advertised for sales people to go door-to door in El Paso. 
Each Sales person purchased several dozen a day from him and sold direct 
pocketing the cash for income. In El Paso you never get rid of the Cockroaches! 
The point is I know how hot melted Paraffin is. The way he was able to 
envelope the hand with a sort of "ectoplasmic" outer film is very interesting and 
I can't remember ever reading of a similar performance as you have described. 
The thickness of the "film formed on the surface of the hand and fingers may 
have been thick enough top allow slippage out of the Paraffin, Perhaps a 
Diemaker could relate how many "thousanths of a meter" would permit such to occur 
or if possible. Were the finger held straight out and unflexed or were they 
curled at all? Did you actually see the event or is this what you read in the 
book to tried to translate?

As to Brazil and the Movements of Spiritists you spoke of, I have seen 
several excellent Documentaries on this subject. It is quite enthralling and has 
correlates in the Caribbean and even the Shakers and some others here in 
America. I, when a member of the New Acropolis founded by Ada Albrecht and George 
Angel Rivlag had the pleasure of knowing Martin Leiderman as the Director of the 
LA Branch. He related to me how he had travel to the "Mystics" or "Oracle" 
Mountain there in Brazil and what he was able to witness there and observe. Are 
you familiar with this place? BTW, the New Acropolis underwent a Name change 
and is now called "The School of Hastinapura" do you know of their Brach in 
Brazil? Were there any Photographs taken and preserved of the Paraffin Hands in 
that Museum?
Tell me more please, it is not often we get a perspective of first hand 
experiences from Brazil, I am sure at least some of the list other then me would 
like to hear what you can tell us.

Best regards,
John
