About This Book

An account of a psychological experiment that used automatic writing and trance-mediated communications to guide archaeological work at an English abbey, culminating in the discovery of a chapel. The narrative reproduces and analyzes the transmitted scripts, notes their patchwork of Low Latin, Medieval and Modern English, and confronts critics' concerns about linguistic form and authorship. It advances a speculative theory of a Greater Memory and telepathic or subconscious interconnection as the source of the messages, and interweaves excavation reporting with reflections on spiritual, psychological, and methodological implications.
