A defence of modern spiritualism

Alfred Russel Wallace

Sinossi

It is with great diffidence, but under an imperative sense of duty, that the present writer accepts the opportunity afforded him of submitting to his readers some general account of a widespread movement, which, though for the most part treated with ridicule or contempt, he believes to embody truths of the most vital importance to human progress.[1] The subject to be treated is of such vast extent, the evidence concerning it is so varied and so extraordinary, the prejudices that surround it are so inveterate, that it is not possible to do it justice without entering into considerable detail. The reader who ventures on the perusal of the succeeding pages may, therefore, have his patience tried; but if he is able to throw aside his preconceived ideas of what is possible and what is impossible, and in the acceptance or rejection of the evidence submitted to him will carefully weigh and be solely guided by the nature of the concurrent testimony, the writer ventures to believe that he will not find his time and patience ill bestowed.

Choices

Brinet Rutherford

Choices is a culmination of not just my life, but a collective of experiences that have impacted me and shaped the trajectory of my life. To me, life is like a jigsaw puzzle. Each interlocking piece—our experiences, skills, and talents—fit into the bigger picture: our identity. People may be positively or negatively impacted by our “pieces” when taken in isolation, but we can extend grace once we examine the big picture. This requires an intent to understand people’s personal choices, wounds, and/or trauma.

Jonathan Stathakis, Chris Epting

In 1969, a twenty-something screenwriter with one movie credit to his name is approached by Jimi Hendrix's management after the legendary guitarist saw the obscure indie film in London and wanted to collaborate on a project of his own. Jonathan Stathakis had no idea how thrilling the next eighteen months would be, as he and Hendrix formed not just a working partnership but a unique friendship.

From Woodstock to Electric Ladyland, Jonathan leads listeners inside one of the craziest trips ever taken in music history.

With many never-before-told stories, Jimi Hendrix comes back to life as you've never experienced him before. Backstage, on stage, and everyplace in between, get ready to ride through the purple haze and experience one of the most creative and powerful cultural eras in history.
