Letters from a Living Dead Man

by Elsa Barker

About this book

Elsa Barker presents a sequence of fifty-four letters that she describes as communications received through automatic writing. The voice of the letters reflects on life after death, the relation between thought and experience, and the changes in perspective that accompany its account of a spiritual world.

Barker’s introduction explains the circumstances in which the writing began in Paris. The letters then move through questions of time, personal relationships, spiritual development and the influence of the unseen upon everyday life. This complete 1914 New York edition preserves the introduction, all letters and their original order.
