Dr. Carl A. Wickland, (1861-1945) was a member of the Chicago
Medical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of
Science, and the chief psychiatrist at the National Psychopathic
Institute of Chicago. Wickland specialized in cases of
schizophrenia, paranoia, depression, addiction, manic-depression,
criminal behavior and other phobias. After moving to Los Angeles in
1918, he founded the National Psychological Institute of Los
Angeles with his wife Anna Wickland, who was a trance medium.
Wickland treated many patients suffering from mental illness of all
kinds, and after many years experience came to the conclusion that
a number of patients he treated had 'attachments;' by that he meant
that spiritual entities had attached themselves to unwitting
mortals and influenced them (often) in the worst kind of
way-leading them to alcoholism, madness, and occasionally murder.
Wickland stated at the time; Spirit obsession is a fact - a
perversion of a natural law - and is amply demonstrable. This has
been proven hundreds of times by causing the supposed insanity or
aberration to be temporarily transferred from the victim to a
psychic sensitive who is trained for the purpose, and by this
method ascertain the cause of the psychosis to be an ignorant or
mischievous spirit, whose identity may frequently be verified.
Having come to the 'spirit obsession' conclusion, Wickland and his
wife set up a rescue circle, with Mrs. Wickland acting as the
medium, and they set about communicating with lost souls who had
passed away and were unaware of their post physical death condition
and often in denial due to dogmatic religious and equally dogmatic
atheist beliefs. In the introduction of the book the author writes,
The change called death, the word is a misnomer-universally
regarded with gloomy fear, occurs so naturally and simply that the
greater number, after passing out of the physical are not aware
that the transition has been made, and having no knowledge of a
spiritual life they are totally unconscious of having passed into
another state of being. Deprived of their physical sense organs,
they are shut out from the physical light, and lacking, a mental
perception of the high purpose of existence, these individuals are
spiritually blind and find themselves in a twilight condition-the
outer darkness mentioned in the Bible - and linger in the realm
known as the Earth sphere. The book documents a number of cases of
both anonymous and well-known communicators such as Helena
Blavatsky; cofounder of the Theosophy movement, and Mary
Baker-Eddy, the founder of Christian Science. A number of subjects
are discussed including crime, suicide, materialism, selfishness,
and narcotics.
