The Seven Purposes: An Experience in Psychic Phenomena

The author recounts personal experiments with a planchette that begin skeptically and lead to sustained communications purportedly from the dead, initially providing personal messages to bereaved acquaintances and later expanding into a set of twelve impersonal communications outlining spiritual Lessons. The narrative documents the gradual development of these revelations, the methods used, and further individual messages that elucidate themes of continuity of personality, a connecting force between planes, the struggle between construction and disintegration, and the moral call to brotherhood and purposeful living, aiming to comfort mourners and propose practical spiritual guidance.
