The Old Paths: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This interesting volume (which might be the final edited work of the year! Stay tuned!) is effectively a reform-minded (or primitivistic) Christian tract which seeks to use the opinions and writings of early Christian figures predominantly to evince the concept that there is no Hell, or at least no Hell prior to the Revelation-era final judgment, effectively arguing for universal salvation. It is fairly compelling and alludes to the words of Clement, Paul, and many others.

The Way to Life and Immortality: Now Available!

CLICK TO PURCHASE

This slightly odd text is another edition by Reuben Clymer, and proposes primarily that through proper practices (and preferably initiation into the "illuminati"!) life spans can be drastically expanded and mortality itself inevitably defeated. In one interesting turn, the kind of diet and lifestyle Clymer proposes for treating tuberculosis (consumption) would actually have been of use- much of the population was living on nothing more than bread and beer, and his proposed intake of food revolved around vegetables, which would have nourished the body substantially more.

Clymer actively predicts a coming era in which a combination of science and spiritual rigor will abolish death once and for all.

Realms of the Living Dead: Now Available!



This interesting volume is one of the foremost titles crafted by Frank Homer Curtiss during his life. Husband to the Blavatsky-adjacent founder of the Order of Christian Mystics, his views here are an amalgamation of Theosophical, Gnostic, Rosicrucian, and Hermetic materials- indeed, there is an entire section of poetry written purportedly by natural spirits (gnomes, sylphs, salamanders, and undines.) Allusions to Blavatsky and others are frequent. It goes well beyond its ostensible subject matter into social issues such as alcoholism (it considers alcohol to resonate at an astral frequency, causing danger to drinkers), the First World War (and how German aeronauts were essentially sinning with their development of aviation technology!) among other intriguing subtopics.

The Sacred Book of Death: Now Available!


This particular book is one of the better works of L W DeLaurence, and is entirely centered around the concept of death- attendant to this, it speaks of Hindu, Christian, and generally occult materials, ruminating on social issues like suicide and alcoholism, while also promoting spiritism and mediumship. It culminates with two bizarre chapters at the end of the book which describe invocations used to secure familiar spirits, while warning the reader that using them to harass their neighbors is not in keeping with enlightened thought.

The Dead Have Never Died: Now Available!




This work is a compilation of dialogue (mainly) between medium and spirit, designed to describe the afterlife, what it's like to be "dead", and similar subtopics of mortality. Written from a determined spiritualist perspective, the work reflects the opinions of the author that his own psychic investigations and seances have led to proof of a continued existence after the grave swallows the corpse. Some of the claims made here are quite bizarre, some overlap with Theosophy, and altogether it's a quite interesting work.

Miracles and Supernatural Religion: Now Available!




This short work is quite interesting; it is a fairly lengthy exposition on the topic of miracles within a Christian framework, especially with regards to the resurrection of the dead- not just of Lazarus (the most well known example) but of other figures in and out of a spiritual context. The suggestion here is made that rationalizing these events is at least partly necessary, basing that opinion on then-modern and very real accounts of people buried alive, catalepsy, and the like.

Death and the Afterlife: Now Available!





This book is a strange one even by my own standards; it should be duly noted that due to censorship (and the deplatforming raids which have become a hallmark of the last few years) I have redacted a section of the book begrudgingly. You can find the original scans here if you wish and view this taboo knowledge for yourself about the races of mankind.

Andrew Jackson Davis, the author, wrote several works from the perspective of a clairvoyant. In this book he claims to have communicated with spirits and also to have seen the afterlife, which in his visions is rather varied, changeable, and wondrous, with rivers of light and many more wonders. For those intrigued by history it should be noted that this is one of the early works that would later form the backbone of eugenics-era philosophy without itself being eugenic in manner. Such philosophical writings would eventually give rise to the modern world.
