Do you believe in spirits? Paul Sochaczewski travels to Indonesia, Myanmar, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland to speak with mediums, shamans, and, yes, spirits of dead folks. In this innovative work of personal journalism, Sochaczewski-a self-described Agnostic Spiritualist-creates the Three Tenets of Spiritualism. He receives a personal mandate from Moses, speaks with Alfred Russel Wallace about his relationship with Charles Darwin, gets frustrated by vague messages given by Wallace's assistant, Ali, encounters a female vampire ghost who wants to follow him home (it's his own fault), converses with nature spirits, and is invited on a date with the Mermaid Queen of Java. In exploring the characteristics that give mediums their power and in examining tricks of the trade, he admits there are many things we can't explain with our science-oriented, logical, left brains. While there are few answers in this book, there are many questions and conundrums, such as: Are we more than our physical bodies? Is death the end, or merely the beginning of a new phase of existence? And, was the terrifying misandrous female vampire ghost Paul met in Borneo satisfied with the red chicken he offered her?
