Human Personality And Its Survival Of Bodily Death

Beschreibung

Human personality and its survival of bodily death is a profound inquiry into consciousness, identity, and the nature of human experience beyond physical existence. The work presents a systematic exploration of phenomena that challenge conventional scientific assumptions about the limits of perception and personality. Through careful documentation of cases involving dreams, apparitions, automatism, and telepathy, the study investigates the continuity of consciousness independent of the physical body. It raises questions about the depth and scope of human faculties, suggesting the presence of an underlying order that transcends bodily mechanisms. The narrative reveals an intellectual framework where personal identity is not confined to neurological function, but instead may persist across different states of being. Psychological complexities and anomalous experiences are treated not as curiosities, but as central clues to understanding a broader spectrum of human reality. Ethical and spiritual dimensions are interwoven with psychological inquiry, making the work a bridge between empirical observation and metaphysical reflection. It stands as both a critique of reductive materialism and a pioneering investigation into the potential of human consciousness.

Autor

Frederic William Henry Myers was a British poet, classicist, philologist, and a key figure in the founding of the Society for Psychical Research. Born on February 6, 1843, in Keswick, United Kingdom, Myers became known for his work in psychical research and his influential ideas on the "subliminal self," though his theories were not widely accepted by the scientific community. His contributions spanned various disciplines, from poetry and classical studies to exploring the realms of the unconscious mind. Myers was educated at Trinity College, and his career also saw him actively engage with subjects of literature and philosophy. In 1880, he married Eveleen Myers, with whom he had two children, Leo and Sylvia. He passed away on January 17, 1901, in Rome, Italy, at the age of 57. Myers' legacy includes not only his literary and academic pursuits but also his attempts to investigate the supernatural and the unexplored aspects of human consciousness. His grandchildren, EQ Nicholson and Diana Mary Ponsonby Blennerhassett, were part of his extended family.
