PARAPSYCHOLOGY / SPIRITUALITY"Truly great and deserves to be in
every library, both public and private."--Hans Holzer, Ph.D.,
parapsychologist and author of Ghosts: True Encounters with the
World Beyond and Life Beyond: Compelling Evidence for Past Lives
and Existence after Death"Remember that it was after these
experiences that Hugo wrote his remarkable Les Miserables." --John
F. Miller, III, Ph.D., Journal of Religion and Psychical
ResearchDuring Victor Hugo's exile on the isle of Jersey, where he
and his family and friends escaped the reign of Napoleon III, he
conducted "table-tapping" seances, transcribing hundreds of
channeled conversations with entities from the beyond. Among his
discarnate visitors were Shakespeare, Plato, Hannibal, Rousseau,
Galileo, Sir Walter Scott, and Jesus. According to the transcripts,
Jesus, during his three visits, condemns Druidism, faults
Christianity, and suggests a new religion with Hugo as its prophet.
To the skeptic, some of the "conversations" may seem
self-serving--at best, the subconscious wishes of the naive
participants. But author John Chambers places Hugo's experiments
firmly in the tradition of visionary literature and psychic
exploration, aligning those experiences with the poetry of William
Blake, the table-tapping experiences of the Fox sisters, and the
channeled writings of the great modern-day Pulitzer Prize-winning
poet James Merrill, whose spirits' utterances uncannily resemble
those of Hugo's. Hugo's transcriptions are the missing link between
the early nineteenth century's fascination with the cabalistic
Zohar, reincarnation, and the writings of the Illuminati and the
rise of Spiritualism and the societies for the study of
psychicphenomena in the latter nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries.JOHN CHAMBERS has a Master of Arts in English from the
University of Toronto and spent three years at the University of
Paris. His previous translations include "Phase One: C. E. Q.
Manifesto" in Quebec: Only the Beginning. He has published numerous
articles on subjects ranging from ocean shipping to mall sprawl to
alien abduction, seven of his articles appearing in Forbidden
Religion: Suppressed Heresies of the West. The director of New
Paradigm Books publishing company (www.newpara.com), he lives in
Florida.
