Synopsis
Excerpt from Metempsychosis
Untutored mind death is not the cessation of a delicately balanced system of bio-chemical functions, but the de parture from the body of something real and substantial, the living, breathing, speaking, moving part of man the soul. Dreams, in which the dead appear in form and act like their living selves, give greater distinctness to the imagi nation: the soul is a vaporous double Of the body, usually invisible, but capable Of sensible manifestation and even as in nightmare of energetic materialize tion.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the belief in reincarnation, a prevalent idea throughout history that the human soul survives the death of the physical body and is reborn into a new existence. The author examines the concept's roots in ancient civilizations, particularly in India, Greece, and Egypt, tracing its evolution through various religious and philosophical traditions. The book delves into the diverse justifications for reincarnation, including the need for spiritual purification, moral retribution, and the quest for enlightenment. The author discusses how these beliefs have shaped human understanding of life, death, and the afterlife, and highlights the ways in which they have influenced cultural practices, religious rituals, and ethical systems. Ultimately, the book's insights provide a comprehensive understanding of reincarnation as a powerful and enduring concept that has shaped human thought and spirituality for millennia.
