Letters from a living dead man

Description

About this book

Letters from a living dead man by David Patterson Hatch is a spiritualist epistolary work written in the early 20th century. It presents purported messages from a recently deceased thinker known as “X,” conveyed through a medium, describing the conditions, laws, and experiences of consciousness after death. Expect vivid accounts of astral travel, teachers and helpers, reincarnation, heavens and hells, and the mechanics of cross‑world communication, with recurring figures like a guiding Teacher and a boy named Lionel. The opening of this work begins with an introduction from the recorder explaining how the letters started through automatic writing in Paris, the surprising news of “X’s” death, her reluctance and later decision to publish, and her insistence that the communications be judged by their substance.
