The Light Bearers and Other Lectures

by Alfred H. Terry

About this book

Alfred H. Terry brings together lectures on spiritualism, personal development, and the continuation of life beyond death. The opening discussion describes religious teachers, artists, scientists, and philosophers as light bearers whose contributions expand the possibilities available to later generations.

Subsequent lectures consider the mission of spiritualism, influences on human life, and Terry's interpretation of life after death. Other sections discuss healing, mental powers, and the relationship between thought, conduct, and spiritual progress. A preliminary selection of quotations introduces themes that recur throughout the collection.

Terry presents spiritualism as a philosophy with implications for everyday behaviour as well as an account of the unseen world. Readers will find a compact sequence of public addresses, ending with his discussion of the higher life and the responsibilities he associates with spiritual understanding. The complete original edition retains its portrait and printed cover.
