Verrrrrrrrrrrry textbook lol You don't need to read the whole book, just the chapters you find interesting :) This is why it took me forever to read lol there's only so much you can learn in one sitting and then it just get's friggin boring.

I listened to the audio version on youtube for free, it was an 10+ hour recording. I found it absolutely fascinating. A lot of the advice for lifestyle for being a good medium applies to those who want to live a healthy life also. A lot of the ideas that have been revitalized via media today like: "our thoughts become our reality" are covered in depth here.

There are things I think are likely and those I think are unlikely in this book (the latter of which predominate towards the end of the work). I, however, will give the author credit that he came across as highly educated, and handled the wide range of subjects that this work covers quite well.

The best basic text on developing discernment and use of psychic senses, written by Carrington for a New York spiritualist association.

[Jo-Ann Leake · Rating 4 out of 5]

Highly recommended for foundational understanding of spiritualism and its development to the present day.

Interesting read. Any rereading will undoubtedly be in the form of cherry-picking. But I'm glad I've read it from cover to cover initially.

[Mario · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good book with lots of info but title is a bit misleading as it's very heavily slanted towards mediumship development, as opposed to psychic development of other types.

tradotto in maniera PESSIMA ma temo che l'originale non fosse meglio..di scarsa utilità.
