The Spiritist Review - Journal of Psychological Studies - 1862

Here I am, the one who you will evoke, and I want to initially communicate through this medium that I have unsuccessfully requested so far.


To begin with I want to tell you about my first impressions at the time of separation of my soul. I felt a strange commotion and suddenly I remembered my birth, my youth, and my maturity. My whole life was vividly present in my memory. I felt a compassionate desire to be in the regions revealed by our dear belief. Then all that turmoil appeased. I was free and my body rested inert.

Ah! My dear friends, what an emotional feeling that of leaving the load of the body! How amazing the feeling of conquering the space! You must not believe, though, that I have suddenly become an elected of the Lord. No. I am among the Spirits who have learned a little and have a lot to learn still. It did not take me long to remember you, my brothers in exile, and I assure you that my whole sympathy and my best wishes were with you. I had at once the capability of communicating and I would have done so through this medium who feared to be deceived. She must rest assured for we love her.

Would you like to know who the Spirits that welcomed me were? What were my impressions? My friends, it was all of those who were evoked by us; all the brothers who took part into our works. I saw the splendor but I cannot describe it. I endeavored to distinguish what was true in the communications, ready to correct every wrong statement; finally, ready to be the knight of the truth in the other world as I was in yours. Hence we shall speak a lot and this is not but a preamble to show the dear medium my desire to be evoked by her and to show you my good will in coming here to respond to the questions addressed to me.
