Montague Keen

Given on 29 April 05. Veronica has the video and tape.

MK: I wish to give instructions to my wife. I did not think that anyone would behave in a way that I have witnessed and I apologise for the behaviour of my family. I am sure that all we wished for will be manifest; I want so much for those who are seeking the truth regarding life after death. I want them to come to know rather than to surmise, that it is true, I want to do this more than anything else, it was to become my life’s purpose and as I am very much alive, I want it to continue and to be carried out in a manner that makes sense, rather than foolish and non-evidential phenomena. I would like those who are investigating mediumship to do so in a scientific and mediumistic manner, to combine these truths together not to separate them, that is the only way forward and as there is no nowhere that combines these then I would like this to be created. I know that the road to do this is a hard one but please be reassured that I and my colleagues in the spirit world are trying very hard to bring this to fruition. I am so sorry that those that I have loved have been so badly treated, it was never my intention that this should be so and I know that you know this. I am also sorry that this is the best communication I can manage. I wish my love that I was still beside you.

VK: So do I.

MK: When you join me we will travel and we will see all the things we said we would, we will see through the eyes of spirit, not restricted by the inadequacies of the material body.

VK: Yes.

MK: I am working to free you of the material worries.

VK: Thank you.

MK: But know this with absolute certainty, I will never leave you.

VK: I know that.

MK: I am with you always and I will continue to prove it to you and to those we can trust.

VK: Yes, and they are so few.

MK: I have to go. But I will stand beside you when I do. I love you so much.

VK: I Love you too, thank you for coming, Bless you.

A writing with Montague recieved by Veronica on Sunday 2nd July 6, 3pm.

I was born into a Jewish family in Maida Vale, London on 7-2-25 the youngest child of John Keen. My father had a club and a guest house and we had a very comfortable life until the war broke out and I was sent to Wales as an evacuee – I was not happy there as they would not allow music in the house so I learned to play music in my head – Rachmaminov 2nd Piano Concerto was one piece of music I knew well and it became so important to me.

My father was killed when a bomb hit our house and I got a telegram to come back to London immediately. Suddenly we did not have a home it was the end of my childhood and my education which I loved – I had dreamed of going to university. My mother said I had to go to work to help support her. At 16 years old I got a job as a journalist at the Hornsey Journal as a young reporter – I cycled all over North London. I had to grow up fast.

I suffered from asthma and ended up in hospital many times. It helped if I went to see horror films so the cinema became a big part of my life.

I decided at 14 years old I really did not want to belong to any religion – I needed my mind to be free of restriction. I wanted to explore life. There was a medium in London Tom Corbett who was extremely popular with all the actors and actresses and high society at the time so I decided to investigate him. By then I was working at the House of Commons and no one ever refused an invitation lunch in that great historic building. So I was able to interview all those people I would never otherwise get to. I wrote a book on Corbett but never got around to publishing it. All I can say is it certainly opened up the world of spirit to me and it became my greatest interest in life.

I became a member of the SPR in London and I was not as active in it as I would have liked. I had 5 children, one died at 2 and a half years old – he was brain damaged – I met him after I passed and brought him on 3 occasions to meet Veronica. When I met my father in the afterlife I told Veronica that I never knew how much my father’s death had affected me until I met him again.

I left my life in London to go to College to study agriculture I felt I needed to work with the land. I had become very interested in farming. I eventually had a farm in Suffolk.

I was on my own for some years working on investigating Scole – (a little group of mediums who met every week) and channelled spirits who gave very interesting information and produced photographs etc, etc, in any country I took them too. It was very exciting.

Then Dr Rupert Sheldrake told me there was a lady in Highgate London who gave dinner parties to discuss the afterlife etc. He had been invited but could not go and so suggested I should go in his place.

I did so and enjoyed an interesting evening and good food etc. It was a lovely relaxed atmosphere and friendly.

Her name was Veronica Ford and she and Dr Jeremy Bernstingle hosted the evenings. She used to give dinner parties to discuss alternative medicine also. I joined both groups and learned a lot about alternative medicine. It has became a major part of my work in this side of life now.

I was having major problems with my heart and Veronica helped me a lot and when I had to have a heart bypass in Herefield Hospital* she came with me and stayed in a little cottage near the hospital and she wheeled me to the operating theatre and was there when I was taken to Intensive Care. She held my hands and her love was so comforting. I knew she would not let me die.

[* Montague was actually treated in Papworth Hospital. He would often confuse Herefield and Papworth Hospital when he was alive and it is interesting that he should still do so - Veronica].

I had so much more work to do and I had to present the Scole Report in a few weeks. She tried unsuccessfully to get me off the ventilator after 3½ hours but I could not breathe and so it was almost 6 hours and she never left me and she willed me to live – her love was so powerful I knew I would be protected by her. She stayed with me in hospital and just to give her a rest I went to my sisters for a week. And then Veronica took me back to the Farm and looked after me. It was so wonderful to be with someone so loving and kind and who was so interested in my work. We talked about it a lot.

I got well and then we lived either in my home (the farm) or in her home in London. Our love just became deeper neither of us had ever experienced anything like this before, we knew for the first time in our lives what it was to be truly happy. Though we enjoyed going to conferences and séances etc, etc, our time alone just the two of us, walking and talking was of immense importance to us. She lived me for me and I for her.

I eventually persuaded her to marry – I wanted so much to say my wife and just not my partner.

Her family were so supportive and caring – I felt privileged to be part of it. For the first time in my life I felt I belonged to a family.

My family on the other hand resented her and the fact we were happy – that was not allowed.

When you first go the world of spirit you retain some of the earthly persona and so what you communicate in the beginning should be viewed in this manner. Now I am completely spirit and see clearly and am able to take care and advise Veronica. She was my rock and she still is.

The Spirit World at one time considered taking Veronica and for her to work with me from the Other Side. They changed their minds and so it was quite a shock to Veronica when I passed to Spirit - it was at a discussion on Spirit. Dr Rupert Sheldrake, Prof Lois Walpert and we were special guests and so Veronica and her Grandson Alexander, 15 yrs old and I sat directly in front of the speakers and when it came to questions Veronica asked me “Are you going to ask a question darling?” I replied, “When the timing is right”. It was during that question that I passed to the world of Spirit. My heart went out to Veronica and Alexander. It was such a shock for them.

Veronica came in the ambulance to the hospital with me. She knew I had passed and that there was nothing anyone could do. At the venue, doctors put me on the ground and worked on me to no avail. All I wanted was Veronica but they pushed her away. She called her daughter Maeve (Alexander’s mother) and told her I had passed. She was shocked. Veronica called her great friend Dr. Robert Trossel and he and his wife Dr. Wendy Denning came to the hospital. Robert thought he could do something to revive me. Her son Simon also came to the hospital and of course Dr. Rupert Sheldrake and Alexander were there too. My son Oliver popped in for 5 mins.

The Spirit World decided they would take me in a public place and it would be dramatic so it would make a deep impression and would not be forgotten.

Many hours later they persuaded Veronica to leave me. I gave her a line of sparkling diamonds from just over her head on the left side right down to the ground - poor darling. She thought she was having a stroke! I wanted to show her I was still with her and I will always be with her - that continued for 3 weeks.

Veronica and I had talked many times about how we would communicate when one of us went over and I used to joke with her “You won’t go off enjoying yourself, you will concentrate on proving one way or another and give as much information on the afterlife as possible.”

I did as much as I could all the time to make sure she knew I was there beside her. You see, you can be in many places at once when you are Spirit so I never leave her. I guide her at all times.

She wanted to set up a Montague Keen scholarship in my name. I had to convince her I needed a Foundation to continue my work. She did not understand just after I passed when I asked many times to copyright my work and trademark my name - she now understands why.

When you first go to the world of Spirit you retain some of your earthly persona and so what you communicate in the beginning should be viewed in this manner. Now I am completely Spirit and see clearly and am able to take care and advise Veronica. She was my rock and she still is.

There will be a film, it will help people all around the world to understand life and the afterlife. People must come together again. No divisions. All religion has done is to divide us and cause wars and hardship, etc. We must return to being spiritual people, and to stop the killing and the misery caused by war. I will not have died in vain if that message goes out to the world in my name.

I continue my work and am part of the network trying to help the world to stop and take account - look at what their actions cause - there is no need for this. Mans greed has taken over.

I want my Foundation to help the countries who desperately need help to deal with Aids, famine, etc, etc. My wife knows what to do. We have brought the world to the brink of disaster. The information on how to deal with Aids is available and the MKF will with safety take it to the world.

I have given information on feeding the hungry - it can be done. The Nelson Mandela Foundation will help my wife there.

I have given information on energy and that must be dealt with also. Those are the problems which have to be dealt with first. The plans are great. I pass on information as often as possible. I hope in the not too distant future to materialise so I can be filmed speaking. I assure you the world will listen then.

My wife works hard to bring all this information to the world. There are so many both on this side of life and on yours who will do their utmost to stop her and she is no spring-chicken and my heart goes out to her - she has taken on such a huge undertaking, it is our love that keeps her going.

I am endeavouring to bring people who will take some of the burden from her shoulders.

Also I try to get people to look again with clear eyes at the charlatans of our times who hoodwink so many people. The spirit world are in the process of bringing them down and it saddens me that someone who had such a good brain should have turned out so dishonest and corrupt.

My wife needs help – the project is great. She needs the support of the honest people of the world – she is only trying to help mankind under my guidance and I am deeply grateful to her, many would have walked away by now, my loves keeps her going. I am with her always. So we will work together in the next life to eternity.
