Description

Description from Project Gutenberg (opens in a new tab)

"A Book Written by the Spirits of the So-Called Dead" by Carl Gustav Helleberg is a spiritualist publication written in the late 19th century. This work compiles communications purportedly received from disembodied spirits through mediums, focusing on the nature of life after death, spiritual insights, and experiences in the spiritual realm, engaging with notable figures like Emanuel Swedenborg. The opening of this intriguing book provides an introduction from the author, Carl Gustav Helleberg, who outlines his background and motivations for compiling these spirit communications. He shares that the messages were transcribed during sittings with various mediums, particularly Mrs. Lizzie S. Green, revealing how these spirits convey valuable wisdom and insights about existence beyond the physical world. Helleberg expresses his hopes that these messages will enlighten readers and ease their skepticism about the spiritual realm, setting the stage for deeper explorations into the nature of life, death, and the interconnectedness of souls.
