A 19TH CENTURY SOCIAL DEMOCRAT LOOKS AT SPIRITUAL PHENOMENA OF THE AFTERLIFE By Steven H Propp Robert Dale Owen (1801-1877; he was the son of the utopian socialist) was a longtime exponent of socialist doctrines, as well as a politician in the Democratic Party. He also wrote The Debatable Land Between This World and the Next: With Illustrative Narrations [1872 ].He wrote in the Preface to this 1860 book, "I collected... the most noted old works containing narrative collections of apparitions, hauntings, presentiments, and the like, accompanied by dissertations on the Invisible World, and toiled through formidable piles of chaff to reach a few gleanings of sound grain. Gradually I became convinced that what by many have been regarded as new and unexampled phenomena are but modern phases of what has ever existed. And I ultimately reached the conclusion that, in order to a proper understanding of much that has existed and perplexed the public mind under the name of Spiritual Manifestatonis, historical research should precede every other inquiry... it behooved the student in this field ... to devote his attention to spontaneous phenomena, rather than those that are evoked... A record of such phenomena, carefully selected and authenticated, constitutes the staple of the present volume." (Pg. 4-5)He asks, "shall we hold it ... fantastic and indifferent, to ascertain, whether... an intimation from that future home is ever permitted to reach us, here on our pilgrimage, before we depart? We cannot curtly settle this question... by an a priori argument against the possibility of human intercourse with the denizens of another world... The Scriptures teach that such intercourse did exist in earlier days; and they nowhere declare that it was henceforth to cease forever." (Pg. 27-28)He concludes, "The dead cannot reasonably be imagined to return either from heaven or from hell. Then, if there be no mediate state after death, the theory of spiritual appearance of agency upon earth, by those who have gone before us, is inadmissible... There must be no sudden change of individuality at the moment of death, either for the better or for the worse. Men will awake in another life, the body indeed left behind, and, with it, its corporeal instincts, its physical infirmities; yet each will awake the same individual... as when on his earthly death-bed he lay down to rest. In all this there is nothing tending to affect... the doctrine of a final Day of Judgment." (Pg. 479-480)People interested in early research of psychical phenomena and Spiritualism may be keenly interested in this book.
