Excerpt from The Great Harmonia, Vol. 1: Being a Philosophical Revelation of the Natural, Spiritual and Celestial UniverseA brief history of the author's psychical or spiritual experience, from the commencement of his magnetic or clairvoyant career to the 28th of January, 1847, was communicated to the world in the Scribe's Introduction to his (the author's) first work, entitled The Principles of Nature, Her Divine Revelations, and A Voice to Mankind. The connecting links in the historical chain of his spiritual experiences, beginning with the above date and extending to the composition of the present work, may be found in the psychological and other departments of this volume.The causes which induce the author to write a series of volumes, under the general title of the great harmonia, ' are as follows: In his first work (nat. Div. Rev.) he says: I descend not into details to collect external proofs of the seemingly mere assertions that have been made, for this would not comport with the use and object of these revealments concerning the laws and requirements of Nature. But be it distinctly understood that Iam im pressed to maintain the responsibility of the statements herein presented and at a future period I shall descend into the minutiae of the various subjects generalized in this book, for the sole purpose of giving forth an incontestable encyclopedia in which every unreal and erroneous conception may be ex hibited in its proper light, and in which may be established every important truth that is not at the present day known or comprehended by the generality of mankind.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
