Description

A seasoned physician turns his lifelong clinical work toward a deeper, almost philosophical quest: to understand what makes us human beyond the flesh. Drawing on decades of bedside experience, lectures, and an eclectic library that stretches from Paracelsus to modern psychologists, he weaves personal anecdotes with diligent observation. His aim is to bridge the gap between measurable science and the elusive realm of the soul.

The book unfolds in two main parts. The first surveys the foundations of psychology, classifying mental faculties, examining empirical evidence, and even venturing into mediumship, hypnosis, and the measurement of values. The second part introduces the notion of a “new avatar,” linking ancient Indian insights, folk lore, and modern scientific thought into a constructive theorem about human consciousness.

Through vivid case studies—like the remarkable revival of a dying woman—and careful scholarship, the author invites listeners to contemplate whether the soul can be studied, described, and perhaps even guided. It is a thoughtful meditation that respects both rigorous inquiry and the mysteries that still lie beyond.

A 19th-century American physician and writer, this author moved easily between medicine, spirituality, and reform-minded thought. His work reflects the lively world of homeopathy, Theosophy, and esoteric writing in the United States at the turn of the century.
