About This Book

A sequence of automatic letters presented as communications from a recently deceased individual and transcribed by a living interlocutor, offering sustained reflections on postmortem existence, perception beyond the physical, and spiritual progress. Through episodic missives the writer describes otherworldly landscapes, encounters with departed souls, moral and metaphysical instruction, and symbolic treatments of memory, time, and hierarchical order among unseen beings. The collection blends anecdote, philosophical exposition, and poetic passages to sketch an imaginative afterlife and suggest attitudes and practices for ethical growth and deeper comprehension of life beyond the corporeal realm.

LETTERS FROM A LIVING DEAD MAN

LETTER I
THE RETURN

I AM here, make no mistake.

It was I who spoke before, and I now speak again.

I have had a wonderful experience. Much that I had forgotten I can now remember. What has happened was for the best; it was inevitable.

I can see you, though not very distinctly.

I found almost no darkness. The light here is wonderful, far more wonderful than the sunlight of the South.

No, I cannot yet see my way very well around Paris; everything is different. It is probably by reason of your own vitality that I am able to see you at this moment.
