Synopsis
Excerpt from Whither a Study of Immortality
The boon most earnestly desired by the average human heart is immortality - the assurance of it. More thousands of books have been written about it than about any other thing. If a man finds that he does not desire immortality he may know that therein he differs from the average and normal man. A threatened future of long continued punishment is less unwelcome than the prospect of annihilation. Hope whispers the possibility of relief from suffering in some remote age. Hope dies when it faces oblivion. Whenever we turn to that which comes after the change which men call death, the aspiration rises, even though silently, for one sure word from the silence whence we come and to which we return.
These pages discuss this question of immortality. They do not deal with any theological doctrine as such. They do not seek to differ with the tenets of any religious belief.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the profound questions of existence, drawing on timeless truths, verifiable facts, and insights from various perspectives, both ancient and modern. The author believes that there are infinite realities beyond human perception, and encourages readers to overcome doubts and embrace the possibility of unseen forces and substances. The author examines the nature of time, space, substance, force, and life, arguing that they all have an eternal duration and existence. They discuss the concept of an ether and its role in the transmission of certain forces, and the possibility of communication between minds without the use of conventional means. The book delves into the question of immortality, presenting evidence for the necessary eternity of future life and proposing the existence of a spiritual body that accompanies the physical body. The author considers the Buddhist concept of reincarnation but ultimately concludes that each incarnation begins as a babe in terms of mental, moral, and spiritual development. Ultimately, the book seeks to expand our understanding of reality and the nature of our existence. By embracing the concepts presented, readers can gain a deeper appreciation for the interconnectedness of all things and the possibility of life beyond the physical realm.
