Ever wonder what really happens when you dream, or when death occurs?How about those moments you have an inspiration "out of the blue"? And why do affirmations work for certain people and in certain circumstances, but not for everyone and all the time?FWH Myers lived a very full life, even surviving near death in his 20's as only member of his gold-mining expedition. When he finally turned to getting trained as an M.D., his background led to the odd and unusual, the metaphysical instead of the straight materialist dogma of how the world worked.These works are but a partial presentation of an ever-growing subject on personality and its survival after the body dies. This book is an exposition rather than a proof.As William James forcefully argued, Myers made the first attempts to map out the full range of the subliminal mind as a universal human phenomenon.It was also the inspiration for Dorothea Brande in her breakthrough of Wake Up And Live.Scroll Up and Get Your Copy Now.

The publication in 1798 of Lyrical Ballads, written by William Wordsworth (1770-1850) and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, is considered to have launched the Romantic movement. Published in 1881 in the first series of 'English Men of Letters', this biography of Wordsworth by classical scholar and psychical researcher F. W. H. Myers (1843-1901) shows how Wordsworth's profound imagination and thought characterised and shaped his literary era. He discusses the influence of Wordsworth's upbringing and love for the natural world on works such as The Excursion, and The Prelude, which are said to have marked the transition from neoclassicism to Romanticism. Showing Wordsworth to be widely respected as 'so much besides a poet', Myers describes the circumstances in which Wordsworth accepted the Laureateship in 1843, an apparent surrender to 'the establishment' which poets such as Robert Browning regarded as a betrayal of his own earlier radical idealism.
