  • ""The whole scheme, as the reader sees, is got from the fact that the span of our own inner life alternately contracts and expands. You cannot say where the exact outline of any present state of consciousness lies. It shades into a more general background in which even now other states lie ready to be known. This background is the inner aspect of what physically appear, first, as our residual and only partially excited neural elements, and then more remotely as the whole organism which we call our own. This indetermination of the partition, this fact of a changing threshold, is the analogy which Fechner generalizes, that is all"--Introduction."

The idea appealing to a series of kindred thoughts lying ready in my own mind, and engendering new ones, finally assumed the present shape, enlarged by a kind of spontaneous evolution into the idea of a higher life of spirits in God. The book provides a philosophy of religion in general, and especially examines the doctrine of immortality"--Book. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)."@en
