Bøker av Carl a Wickland

When "psychiatric illnesses" turn out to be obsessing spirits of the dead...Carl Wickland (Wiklund) was a Swedish born, professional American psychiatrist who turned away from conventional medical psychology and became convinced that many psychiatric illnesses were the result of the influence of the obsessive spirits of the dead. With the help of his wife and medium Anna W. Anderson, Wickland communicated with the spirits. These 82 intriguing sessions make up the bulk of the book Thirty Years Among the Dead. His conversations with, in most cases, confused spirits, who don't even realize they are dead, are indexed in thematic chapters: Tormenting Spirits & Marriage Disturbances - Spirits and Crime - Spirits and Suicide - Materialism and Indifference - Selfishness - Orthodoxy - Spirits and Narcotics, Inebriety, Amnesia - Psychic Invalidism - Orphans - Christian Science - and Theosophy. Wickland's dedicated research, in combination with the excellent medium-ship of Anna, has resulted in one the most fascinating and taboo-breaking works on spiritualism and life after death-questions ever. Perhaps today the book is even more actual than it was in it's publication year 1924. The mystery of death touches all of us, while, due to the intermingling of the modern rat-race, consumerism and internet-addiction, the general climate for the development of spiritual intelligence is worsening to levels that should concern all of us deeply. Post Scriptum with biography of the author is included.
