The New Book of the Spirits

Karine Chateigner has been involved in spiritism for the last 20 years. She is general secretary of the Allan Kardec Spiritist Society and writes regularly for the Journal of Spiritism. She gives lectures at conferences on spiritism and is also a medium.

There have been no other books devoted to the essential questions on life with answers provided by the spirits since the Book of Spirits by Allan Kardec (1857) which developed a doctrine in the form of questions/answers by using the teachings of the spirits.

The New Book of Spirits is again the scene of questions with answers given by the spirits. These concern metaphysics and philosophy in the context of present day and ongoing spiritism. The “afterlife”, faced with our society of today and with the scientific and technological changes which have taken place since the 19th century, is anxious to make people increasingly aware of spiritism. As the Master says: “the only steadfast faith is that which can look reason right in the face at all stages of humanity”.

There have certainly been many works of philosophy published by brilliant authors that have contributed to the advancement of spiritism since the death of its founder. What has been missing, however, is a follow-on orchestrated by the spirits themselves. This book endeavours to fill that gap. It will become apparent that “the afterlife” still has a lot to say when it comes to explaining and lighting the path of human beings in their existence.

God and the Universe, prophets, the enigmas of ancient civilisations, the afterlife in all its facets, medicine, current events and contemporary science are all dealt with in this book. The revelations given will throw a new light on our still very approximate knowledge of this world.
