Martino Fine Books Human Personality And Its Survival Of Bodily Death by Frederic W H Myers, L H Myers
2017 Reprint of 1935 First Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. In "Human Personality and Its Survival of Bodily Death", Myers speculated on the existence of a deep region of the unconscious (collective unconscious) or what he termed the "subliminal self", which he believed could account for paranormal events. He also proposed the existence of a "metetherial world," a world of images lying beyond the physical world. He wrote that apparitions are not hallucinations but have a real existence in the metetherial world which he described as a dream-like world. The book was well received by parapsychologists and spiritualists, being described as "the Bible of British psychical researchers. Strong praise for the book and a revival of interest in Myers' ideas appeared in the 2007 "Irreducible Mind" by Emily Williams Kelly, Alan Gauld and Bruce Greyson. Myers brought together, in a book richly documented with fact, a great store of information on extrasensory perception, hypnotism, and related topics.
