There are several other fascinating insights into Higher Thought and Reality. So listen and enjoy.

In this second installment of "Letters From a Living Dead Man," Elsa Barker is given inside information about the Afterworld (such as "The World of Patterns") and warned about carelessly allowing elementals to hack her neurological system and "possess" her.

Elsa Barker engages in what is called "automatic writing". She allows her arm to rest, inert. Then, clearing her mind, her hand begins to write without her conscious control. What comes out appears to be communications from a man who recently died. What makes it even more strange is that, in fact-checking it, she discovered that the spectral individual really had died in America while she was in Europe. She didn't know that at the time. Yet here he is, seemingly sending her messages from the Beyond. Enjoy this first installment from 1919's "Letters From a Living Dead Man"

In this final episode of the book, Hamlin Garland encounters a psychic who seems to be channeling Confucius.
