About This Book

A skeptical narrator experiences a succession of supernatural visions and encounters that fuse mysticism with contemporary scientific ideas, especially theories about electricity. Dreamlike sequences and cathedral imagery alternate with meetings with enigmatic teachers who expound doctrines of soul, immortality, and a governing cosmic benevolence. The narrative mixes romantic and dramatic episodes with speculative exposition, experiments, and perilous confrontations, and it closes by consolidating those revelations into a philosophical appendix that presents an electrified spiritual creed and an argument for a purposeful, ordering principle behind existence.
