Sinopsis
Excerpt from Telepathic Hallucinations: The New View of Ghosts
If we consider existing beliefs amongst the more primitive races we find the same conception. The Australian cuts Off the right thumb of his dead enemy that he may be unable to throw a spear in the Spirit world; the Congo Negroes refrain from sweeping the house after death lest the dust should injure the ghost} The souls Of his departed friends visit the savage in dreams. His conception of a future life is mainly, perhaps wholly, based on these dream visitations. We, the inhabitants of educated Europe, have learnt under the guidance of science to look upon dreams as simply the creations of our own imaginations. We no longer, in the popular phrase, believe in dreams. But both savage and civilised men from the earliest historical times down to the present have professed, and still profess occasionally.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the intriguing question of ghosts through the lens of telepathic hallucinations. The author, a keen observer of the human mind, presents a compelling argument for understanding ghostly apparitions as manifestations of the subconscious rather than supernatural entities. Drawing on a rich tapestry of historical and literary examples, from ancient Egyptian beliefs to Victorian ghost stories, the author traces the evolution of the concept of ghosts and the profound influence they have exerted on human culture. He meticulously analyzes numerous accounts of ghost sightings, collected from various sources, to unveil the complex psychological mechanisms underlying these experiences. Through the author's insightful analysis, the book offers a new perspective on the nature of ghosts, proposing that they may not be spectral beings, but rather powerful expressions of the human mind's ability to conjure and perceive unseen forces. By unveiling the psychological underpinnings of ghostly apparitions, this book challenges traditional notions of the supernatural and offers a fresh understanding of the human mind's uncanny capacity for both perception and imagination. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330666630_0
