Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oracle During the past few years communications from the other world have multiplied beyond all measure: there has been an appalling invasion from another sphere of a wholly new type of bore. Much material emanating 'from this source has been submitted through the printed page to the hard glare of dispassionate critical examination. So seen - divorced from its personal and emotional content - it dries up, as it were: that is, it appears of a value - for knowledge, for consolation, for conduct - inferior to even the average of those philosophical, poetical and ecstatic records of the human spirit already current in the world, for which no supernatural claims are made. Such a comparison may be protested as beingbeside the point, but there 13 after all one criterion by which everything can be judged. The con: summation devoutly to be wished is not the enlargement of the limits of the possible in what we call the physical world, but the enrichment, the expansion of consciousness. The communications here presented constitute a psychic phenomenon in the sense that they were received through automatic writing, but it is be cause oi their intrinsic, and not their evidential value that I now break the silence which has sur rounded them for seven years. They cast an illumination upon life, they strike the true Delphic note of prophecy, wisdom, rapture. For them I would bespeak the serious attention of every sin cere searcher after spiritual light.
