30 years among the dead.

Post by Geoff »

By Carl A. Wickland. M.D. Published in 1974. ISBN 0-87877-025-9

This is long out of print, and can only be found at specialist secondhand booksellers. The price can be highish too.

I would not recommend this book, unless you are really interested in the phenomenon of attached spirit entities - obsession or possession.

I am, so I was interested in all the stories, but even for me, it's too repetitive. But it is a salutary lesson in how stupid, ignorant, closed minded, arrogant and dogmatic the average earth bound is. They absolutely deny they are dead, complain they don't have the free will they used to, worry about why it's so dark, complain that someone has taken over "their" body, etc. They just don't get that they are dead, even though their mortal friends now ignore them, and they can't do things like open doors etc. But, even worse, many are absolutely against "spirits" and so dreadfully scared of the "dead" that they won't go near their deceased friends and relatives who are trying to tell them they are dead. All because we never get taught anything sensible about what happens after death.

What really amazed me is the possessing spirits who tear the hair out of their mortal hosts, because they believe "their" bodies should have short hair, or wear mens clothing. It's insane, but repeated time and time again. Most often when people seem to be trying to hurt themselves, it may be these foreign spirits trying to "evict" the real mortal. Insane?

much love,
Geoff.

Having now read half the book, I have learned a bit more. But I would have liked the author to summarise what he learned, rather than making me read 100 case studies. I have indeed learnt a bit more in understanding how it is these "stuck" spirits don't realise they are dead, and seem to be "lost" to their more advanced relatives in the mansion worlds, who typically can't locate them, perhaps because they are inside someones aura.

I have found an on-line copy of this book. It is a big book however. ( site too slow )

Added Later.

I have now created a pdf copy of this book, as well as a precis.
