Jaime Galté was born on 24 May 1903 in Santiago de Chile and died at the age of 62 in 1965. He was a brilliant lawyer and an excellent family man. He held important positions, among them: professor of Procedural Law, Director of the School of Law of Valparaíso, lawyer of the newspaper company La Nación and prosecutor of the General Comptroller of the Republic of Chile. 

His story as a medium began one day when he was a young man. He was travelling by train to Valparaiso, a city unknown to him, to solve some family problems. His father had disincarnated a short time before, leaving the family in a very difficult financial situation. Galté falls asleep and dreams that he arrives in Valparaíso, crosses a square, arrives at a certain hotel and talks to its owner. He asks for his father and is told that he is staying in room number 26. He goes upstairs and finds him. Surprised, he asks him how it is possible that he is there, if he has been buried there for some time. The father tells him that there is only one body in the coffin and gives him the name of a lawyer who has certain titles and instructions about the inheritance for the family. 

When Galté arrived in Valparaíso, he followed the information received in the dream and was able to find the hotel. The square and the lawyer who gave him the papers of his father's inheritance. He was surprised but did not look for answers. 

Some time later, his friend Ricardo Prat (brother of the Chilean hero), convinced him that this was a gift he should develop and put at the service of others, and invited him to a mediumistic meeting. In that first meeting, Galté went into a trance and psychographed the message sent by a cook on the Itata ship, which was sinking, asking him to give some money to the woman he loved and her mother. Prat's friend checked with the maritime authorities but was informed that the ship continued to sail normally in Chilean waters. Once the meeting was over, the two friends left, concerned about the message received and the apparent failure of the mediumship. However, when they passed the El Mercurio newspaper in Valparaíso, they read with astonishment the following news: "The ship Itata has just sunk". 

A short time later, they verified the existence of the sailor who had passed on the message, found the house he had indicated, and complied with his request to divide the money between the two women. From that day on Galté committed himself to the Spiritual World and devoted himself to reading, studying and participating in mediumistic groups. He joined the existing Scientific Society in Santiago and was one of the founders of the Chilean Society of Parapsychology. In the following years Galté received several spirits who dictated beautiful and wise pages to him, such as the well-known Mister Lowe, philosopher and counsellor. Unfortunately these writings published at the time are out of print and very difficult to find. Perhaps the most famous of the spirits Galté incorporated was Dr. Eric Halfanne, who performed countless healings with the medium's help.  

Eric Halfanne was in earthly life a Swiss-German doctor who worked in America and disincarnated in Bolivia in 1906. It is curious how he presented himself for the first time, according to Sonia, daughter of Galté. One day, the little daughter of the Bachelet couple, friends of the medium, was very ill and her parents asked Galté to invoke the spirit of their paediatrician who had disincarnated a few months earlier. When the medium goes into a trance he says that the doctor cannot come because he is busy with other work in the spirit world, but that another doctor will come to help. Then Dr. Eric Halfanne shows up. His healings are counted by the dozen. He diagnosed accurately and prescribed complementary homeopathic remedies. 

Galté would go into a trance sitting in an armchair and begin to diagnose illnesses and prescribe remedies. His family keeps many of the psychographed writings from these times. Galté attended freely to anyone who asked for his services, with love and disinterestedness as a good Christian. He never refused his help, even when he was seriously ill at the end of his days. He was an apostle of service to others. 

After a few years, Galté could work mediumnically at a distance. He received the name of the sick person and his symptoms. He would unfold and go in spirit to the patient's house, accompanied by Dr. Eric, who was obviously the one who did the cures. Galté was a clairvoyant medium, psychographer, healer and incorporator. He could also paint beautiful pictures and play the piano divinely when in trance, as he was personally ignorant of these arts. He had clear visions of the future and his friendly and consoling word reached everyone equally. 

Jaime Galté awakened in the Chilean people the need for spiritual knowledge and an approach to the spiritual world. May God grant that many will remember him and follow his example of goodness and service.
