Book Description
Excerpt from Modern Spiritualism, Vol. 2 of 2: A History and a Criticism As we have already seen the mesmeric movement in England ran for many years almost entirely on rationalist lines.1 The Zoist, indeed, remained as the chief organ of the movement up to 1856, and the purely naturalistic views therein advocated found general favour. Rumours of the trance utterances of A. J.Davis and of Cahagnet ssomnambules had, however, reached this country, and at least one English somnambule, Emma, the subject of Dr. Haddock, had seen visions of a future life and of spiritual things not unlike those recorded of Adele Maginot.2 Neither Haddock himself, nor Gregory, who discusses the visions and compares them with those recorded by Cahagnet, 3 is prepared to accept the clairvoyant utterances as authentic revelations; but neither, on the other hand, is willing to dismiss them as unquestionably subjective.

Handbook of Spiritualism and Channeling
Author: Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004264086
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 519
Book Description
Bringing together scholars from different disciplines and geographies, the Brill Handbook of Spiritualism and Channeling presents modern spirit possession in a variety of contexts. Weaving together the interrelated movements of Spiritualism along with its specific Franco and Latin American currents, articles explore the nineteenth-century beginnings of séances and trance mediumship. Channelling, an heir to Spiritualism begun in the 1970s and still flourishing today, is brought into direct conversation with its predecessors with a view to showing both continuity and disjuncture as the products of new cultural and religious needs. The Brill Handbook marks the first extensive collection on these two interrelated movements and examines themes such as gender, race, performance, and technology in each instance.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Identity of Primitive Christianity and Modern Spiritualism, Vol. 2 of 2 If it be objected, as it sometimes is, that Spiritualism is not a sys tem, my answer is, Jesus in his teachings presented no system. He taught the truth generally and specifically, but with no regard to any systematic arrangement, and there is a nearly perfect resemblance between Modern Spiritualism and Primitive Christianity in that the latter had not, and the former has not, a pronounced or written creed, or formula, or complete statement of faith and doctrine, or an eccle siastical structure and hierarchy. If these are essential to a system, then Modern Spiritualism like Primitive Christianity is not a system, but if through Spiritualism a future life is demonstrated, and its nature explained convincing evidence furnished that in that life we are all to be rewarded according to the deeds done in the body if through the knowledge derived from the inhabitants of the spiritual world we find additional and convincing evidence that God is really our Father that obedience and worship are justly due Him, and that He designs all His rational creatures to be happy; that as He is love so we must love one another, and in fact if through the revelations of Spiritual ism we receive teachings precisely similar to those of Jesus, so com prehensive in their character as to be applicable to all the relations of life, clearly defining our duty and course, then Spiritualism is a system. That it is this, and that it is in addition both a philosophy and a religion, I believe in the future will be abundantly proved, and generally acknowledged. N o doubt it has been observed by the reader, that my subject has taken a wider range than the title of the work would seem to imply but as I proceeded in my task I found it necessary, not only to constantly refer to the spiritual manifestations of the Old T esta ment, in connection with those of the New, but to treat of them equally with the latter, and thus the work has gradually assumed a form and character in which the varied phases and features of Modern Spiritualism are viewed in the light of those of the whole Bible. It has been found necessary to thus extend the scope of the work, for the reason that the manifestations of the New Testament.

Between them and the miracles of Scripture there is the same difference as between the Apocryphal and Canonical Gospels. The apocryphas never believe they can say enough; they must have great wonders; they connect them with the earliest infancy of the Saviour, with the history of his mother, of Joseph, of his grandfather, and his grand mother they call into action animals, trees, and, in fact, give us a legend in place of a gospel; a thaumaturgus, instead of the Son of God.
