A scientific demonstration of the future life.: Ancient psychic phenomena (continued). Having now briefly adverted to a series of psychic phenomena recorded in the Pentateuch (see record 2008-12585-006), it remains to note the continuation of the same through the prophets who succeeded Moses. It is undeniable that the phenomena exhibited by the prophets were the same as those of Moses in all essential particulars. They were dominated by the same beliefs, or suggestions, and the resultant manifestations necessarily corresponded, modified only by their different environment and the natural development and progress of the human mind. That the prophets were psychics, is undeniable. Even the methods sometimes employed by them in entering the psychical condition were identical with those often required by the modern psychic when preparing for some signal demonstration. In this chapter, the following topics are discussed: (1) the prophets of Israel, particularly Elisha; (2) the evolution of the monotheistic idea through psychic phenomena; (3) the first conception of the idea of a living god and the evolution of the spiritual man through psychic phenomena; (4) the Jewish origin of Monotheism through the God of Abraham and the dispensation of Moses; (5) the second great step in the evolution of the spiritual man in the Decalogue; (6) the influence of Egyptian civilization and ethics. The author concludes that the progress of the prophets is reflected in their conception of the character of God, and that Isaiah's God is no longer the God of Israel alone.

Abstract

Having now briefly adverted to a series of psychic phenomena recorded in the Pentateuch (see record 2008-12585-006), it remains to note the continuation of the same through the prophets who succeeded Moses. It is undeniable that the phenomena exhibited by the prophets were the same as those of Moses in all essential particulars. They were dominated by the same beliefs, or suggestions, and the resultant manifestations necessarily corresponded, modified only by their different environment and the natural development and progress of the human mind. That the prophets were psychics, is undeniable. Even the methods sometimes employed by them in entering the psychical condition were identical with those often required by the modern psychic when preparing for some signal demonstration. In this chapter, the following topics are discussed: (1) the prophets of Israel, particularly Elisha; (2) the evolution of the monotheistic idea through psychic phenomena; (3) the first conception of the idea of a living god and the evolution of the spiritual man through psychic phenomena; (4) the Jewish origin of Monotheism through the God of Abraham and the dispensation of Moses; (5) the second great step in the evolution of the spiritual man in the Decalogue; (6) the influence of Egyptian civilization and ethics. The author concludes that the progress of the prophets is reflected in their conception of the character of God, and that Isaiah's God is no longer the God of Israel alone.
