Synopsis

Birth And Death, As A Change Of Form Of Perception: Or The Dual Nature Of Man is a philosophical work written by Lazar Hellenbach in 1886. The book explores the idea that birth and death are not the end of life, but rather a change in the way we perceive the world around us. Hellenbach argues that humans have a dual nature, consisting of both a physical body and a spiritual essence, and that death is simply a transition from one form of perception to another. The book delves into the concept of consciousness and how it relates to the physical body, as well as the idea of reincarnation and the afterlife. Hellenbach draws on a variety of religious and philosophical traditions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity, to support his arguments. He also explores the role of perception in shaping our understanding of reality, and how our perceptions can be altered through meditation and other spiritual practices. Overall, Birth And Death, As A Change Of Form Of Perception: Or The Dual Nature Of Man is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the nature of life and death, and the relationship between the physical and spiritual aspects of human existence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In offering to the English pubhc a translation of Baron Hellenbach s Geburt und Tod als Wechsel der Anschauungsforni, a work which has met with great success in Austria and Germany, I wish to say a few words as to the views held by the author, from the spiritualists standpoint. While admiring greatly the logic, research, and reasoning powers of the writer, I cannot altogether agree with him in some of the conclusions he has arrived at; and I think perhaps if he had studied more of the best literature in English on the subject, as, for instance, the works of Epes Sargent, Mrs. De Morgan, M.A. (O xon.), and others, besides carrying on his untiring investigation of the phenomena themselves, his opinions on spiritualism would be more decided than they at present are. I have endeavoured to make the translation as literal as possible, consistently with rendering it into readable English, beyond which it has no pretensions; and I only wish to say further that I have found some difficulty in giving a good equivalent for several of the words used ;two especially, which frequently occur, ph nomenale and intelligibel. The former, the author makes use of to express natural or every-day occurrences, while the English word phenomenal, as generally understood and employed, means uncommon, or out of the ordinary course.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
