Synopsis

From India to the Planet Mars: A Study of a Case of Somnambulism is a book written by Theodore Flournoy. The book is a detailed study of a case of somnambulism, a sleep disorder in which a person performs activities while asleep. The case in question involves a woman named Helene Smith, who claimed to have memories of past lives on Mars and to be able to communicate with Martians. Flournoy, a Swiss psychologist, analyzes Helene's case in depth, examining her claims and the evidence she presents to support them. He explores the possibility that Helene's experiences are the result of a mental disorder or psychological trauma, as well as the possibility that they are genuine memories of past lives or communication with extraterrestrial beings. The book is considered a classic in the field of psychology and has been influential in the study of hypnosis, altered states of consciousness, and paranormal experiences. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a person experiencing somnambulism and the ways in which the mind can create elaborate and compelling alternate realities.1900. The importance of psychic phenomena and its intense interest lie in the fact that psychical research hints at a possible solution, by means of the same methods which science has been accustomed to use in the physical world, of the great problem of man's future destiny, of an answer to the question asked by Job thousands of years ago, �������If a man die, shall he live again?������� and which has been repeated in vain by every generation of men who have since inhabited the earth. Prof. Flournoy approaches the problems of the psychic world in regard to the strange phenomena manifested by Mlle. Helene Smith. No fact has been regarded by him as too trivial to escape his keen, careful scrutiny from a psychological point of view.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
