| Publisher Description: Andrew Jackson Davis is one of the stranger figures of mid 19th century occultism. Of his several works, this is perhaps the best-written. His lectures on the nature of the afterlife, from the spiritual and clairvoyant perspective, can be at times quite odd, and are at all times interesting. The strange land accessed by the author, purportedly, is more fantastical than most religious and spiritual visages of the afterlife, and involves a proto-theosophical style of devachan as it may be termed.One passage of this particular work had to be redacted altogether, sadly, due to modern censorship and increasing amounts of fascistic rhetoric aimed at destroying all voices of truth and erasing human history when inconvenient. |
