Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On the Cosmic Relations, Vol. 2 Carrying to an extreme the principle that half a loaf is better than no bread, I will now give a few slices and some crumbs from Hodgson´s masterly presentation of the considerations which led him, from a fuller knowledge than has yet been possessed by all other men put together, to put a spiritistic interpretation on Mrs. Piper´s phenomena. I give these extracts, however with considerable reluctance, because they cannot fall far short of being a positive injustice to the cause he had so much at heart, and to his presentation of it. To get the full force of his arguments sometimes requires pretty hard reading. Occasionally, to facilitate quotation, I transpose a word or two, or bracket in a phrase unencumbered with my initials, but never so as to affect the sense. (Pr. XIII, 328f.): "This recognition of friends appears to me to be of great importance evidentially, not only because it indicates some supernormal knowledge, but because, when all the circumstances are taken into consideration, they seem to point, in G. P.´s case, to an independent intelligence drawing upon its own recollections ... At the outset of the communications from G. P., he was particularly anxious - I describe it as it seemed primâ facie to be - to see the Howards and his father and mother for the purpose of clearing up some private matters ... On April 29th came the explanation from G. P. about the difficulties involved in the act of communicating, and I believe that I emphasized the importance of his always recognizing any friend of his who happened to attend a sitting, no matter what other communications he might wish to make. From that time onwards he has never failed to announce himself to, and to recognize, with the appropriate emotional and intellectual relations, the sitters who were known to G. P. living, and to give their names in one form or another, with one exception. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
