The Next Life

THIS VOLUME IS DESIGNED TO FURNISH SCIENTIFIC AND PHILOSOPHICAL EVIDENCES OF THE EXISTENCE OF AN INHABITABLE SPHERE OR ZONE AMONG THE SUNS AND PLANETS OF SPACE. THESE EVIDENCES ARE INDISPENSABLE, BEING ADAPTED TO ALL WHO SEEK A SOLID, RATIONAL, PHILOSOPHICAL FOUNDATION ON WHICH TO REST THEIR HOPES OF A SUBSTANTIAL EXISTENCE AFTER DEATH.

I have tried to bring out the exceedingly practical character of many of the discoveries made by those scientists who, despite the often contemptuous criticism of their colleagues, have valiantly persisted in their adventurings in the psychical. The world has undoubtedly been the gainer, and richly the gainer, by their labors; and it surely is well worth while to survey in some detail the field they have explored and the results of their explorations.

This curious set of books were never published for public sale and printed over 135 years ago. They were available only to Masonic lodges and libraries.

The purpose of the following chapters will be evident to all who may care to peruse them. I have endeavored simply to read the soul of man with something of the care that one reads a book containing a message which he believes to be of importance.

To save a lot of later questions, let me say now that Man is one tenth conscious, the other nine tenths deal with the subconscious and all that which comes under the heading 'Racial Memories' and the Occult.
This book is about YOU, not just about one tenth of you, but also that which goes Beyond the Tenth.

An interesting look at spiritism, or communicating through the veil to the great beyond.

We are not solely material, but partly physical and partly superphysical, I maintain that consciousness is never wholly lost; that even in swoons and dreams, when all sensations would seem to be swallowed up in the blackness of darkness, there is SOME consciousness left-the consciousness of existence, of impression.
