A resposta simplesmente é não. Para aqueles que investem algum tempo para estudar o espiritismo ci- entifico, o nome Faraday e seu famoso experimento que demonstraria a atuação do médium nas mesas girantes [como fraude consciente/inconsciente] teve seus dias contados. Para quem não sabe, Robert Hare efetuou diversos outros experimentos e testou o fenômeno das me- sas girantes como válido. Como era de se esperar, após posicionar-se pró espiritismo, foi rechaçado no meio cientifico. Esse comportamento secular demonstra o porquê de haver tão pouca pesquisa atual- mente nesses campos.

A família Fox sofreu inúmeras humilhações, consequência do fanatismo protestante dos moradores daquela região. Três comissões foram formadas, cada uma mais rígida que a anterior, para desmasca- rarem aquela família que afirmava comunicar-se com espíritos através de singulares manifestações. Logo que a terceira comissão deu parecer positivo à realidade dos fenômenos, parecer semelhante às duas comissões que a precederam, “a multidão, exasperada, convencida da traição dos comissári- os e de sua conivência com os impostores, declara que se o relatório fosse favorável, ela lincharia as médiuns e seus advogados”.[2] Quando nos debruçamos sobre a história do espiritismo, vemos que os fenômenos foram seriamente estudados desde o seu princípio. Não eram os vizinhos que avaliavam a realidade do que estava acontecendo, e sim, comissões formadas por inúmeros incrédulos meticulosos que, “após investiga- 1 Arthur Conan Doyle, A história do espiritualismo, O episódio de Hydesville, 1a Edição, FEB 2 Gabriel Delanne, O fenômeno espírita, Os tempos modernos, Na América, p. 35, § 2o, 1a Edição, CELD 5 REVISTA CIÊNCIA ESPÍRITA Março/2018 ções minuciosas, [foram] obrigados a reconhecer de grande propagação da “mania de fazer girar a autenticidade absoluta do fenômeno”.[3] as mesas”[7].

  • The History Spiritualism
    THE HISTORY of SPIRITUALISM by ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE, M.D., LL.D. former President d'Honneur de la Fédération Spirite Internationale, President of the London Spiritualist Alliance, and President of the British College of Psychic Science Volume One With Seven Plates PSYCHIC PRESS LTD First edition 1926 To SIR OLIVER LODGE, M.S. A great leader both in physical and in psychic science In token of respect This work is dedicated PREFACE This work has grown from small disconnected chapters into a narrative which covers in a way the whole history of the Spiritualistic movement. This genesis needs some little explanation. I had written certain studies with no particular ulterior object save to gain myself, and to pass on to others, a clear view of what seemed to me to be important episodes in the modern spiritual development of the human race. These included the chapters on Swedenborg, on Irving, on A. J. Davis, on the Hydesville incident, on the history of the Fox sisters, on the Eddys and on the life of D. D. Home. These were all done before it was suggested to my mind that I had already gone some distance in doing a fuller history of the Spiritualistic movement than had hitherto seen the light - a history which would have the advantage of being written from the inside and with intimate personal knowledge of those factors which are characteristic of this modern development. It is indeed curious that this movement, which many of us regard as the most important in the history of the world since the Christ episode, has never had a historian from those who were within it, and who had large personal experience of its development.

Universidad de Guadalajara, Guadalajara, México.

This is especially interesting, because in this case we are dealing with the fact the same way as in the Victorian age, people use technical advances to reinforce their convictions on the existence of life beyond life. In this sense one important task is to realize the role of technological gears in supporting this kind of shared rationality. Unexpectedly, science has not undermined supernatural thought but it has served for reinforcing it. It looks like the more advanced the civilization the more possibilities it turns into the search of alternative and extravagant conceptions of the world. Key Words: Media, Victorians, Internet, the paranormal, folklore. ABSTRACT El objetivo de este artículo es encontrar el soporte racional que subyace bajo la creencia en lo paranormal, y comprender porque algunas personas creen que es posible utilizar dispositivos tecnológicos como computadoras o teléfonos inteligentes para contactar a los muertos.

We now begin to reprint the entire four lectures of Fr Thurston’s “Modern Spiritualism” (Sheed and Ward 1928. Twelvepenny Series.) which cover about 90 pages. Our intention would be to include one lecture in each of four successive issues of Psypioneer. Once again we are grateful to the Treasurer. Copyright in Fr Thurston's work is held by the British Province of the Society of Jesus. The full text of this and of the following three articles in subsequent issues is reproduced by virtue of written permission given to Psypioneer News. The first lecture gives details of the grand prophecies of new era made in 1848-52 when Modern Spiritualism started.

  • The Victorian Seance Comes to England
    Wilderness House Literary Review 16/2 Sharon DeBartolo Carmack © 2021 The Victorian Séance Comes to England “Mrs. Hayden was something of a fraud,” the tour guide said with a smirk. “No she wasn’t.” I swear, the words were meant to be a stage whisper to my husband, but they somehow projected into the room. With all eyes upon me, I added, “I’m Maria Hayden’s biographer, and she wasn’t a fraud.” I discovered something about being a biographer in that moment. A biographer will counter any falsehood about her subject as fiercely as a defense attorney. ^ We hadn’t planned on visiting Knebworth House during our brief time in England. I didn’t know the house still existed and was open to the pub- lic. As we made our way along the M11 from London to Cambridge, I saw the exit sign announcing Knebworth House, 66 kilometers. I turned to my husband and said, “That’s where Maria conducted her first séance for Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton in 1852. We have to go there.” I’d been working on her biography for the past three years. Sir Edward, owner of Knebworth House, is perhaps best known today for the opening line, “It was a dark and stormy night” and the oft-quoted, “The pen is mightier than the sword.” A highly regarded and prolific writ- er in his day, whose book sales rivaled his friend Charles Dickens, Lytton published two dozen best-selling novels, nine plays, fifteen volumes of poetry, and four volumes of essays. After we settled into our B&B in Cambridge, I opened my laptop and Googled the house, only to discover it was off season and closed—except on the weekends starting in May.

BY MR. BR I TT AN. JUDGE ED:\WNDS, who had been invited to preside at the meeting, was not present, and the duty was therefore assigned to S. B. BRITTAN, who, at the appointed hour, addressed the assembly, in substance, as follows: LADIES AND GENTLE:\IEN : In the absence of Judge Edmonds, the duty of supplying his place has unexpectedly devolved on me. It is not my purpose to occupy your time by any extended remarks, but in rising to introduce the vener­ able Friend who is to address you on this occasion, you will perhaps indulge me for a moment. It is often alleged that the converts to Spiritualism ~re people of uncultivated minds; that they have not been trained in the severe school of modern science and philosophy-that they are wanting in the educa­ tion and discipline necessary to tbe exercise of an intelligent discrimina­ tion and a reliable judgment. If this is true, in any degree, the reason is equally manifest. Few, comparatively, who have occupied distin­ guished positions in the church or the state, in the schools of science, or the walks of literature and art, have ventured to engage in the investi­ gation.

    Adyar Pamphlets Spiritualism and Theosophy No. 104 Spiritualism and Theosophy by H.S. Olcott Lecture delivered at the rooms of the United Service Institution of India, Simla, 7 October 1880 Published in 1919 Theosophical Publishing House, Adyar, Chennai [Madras] India The Theosophist Office, Adyar, Madras. India THIRTEEN years ago, one of the most eminent of modern American jurists, John W. Edmonds, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New York, declared in a London magazine that there were then at least ten millions of Spiritualists in the Unites States of America. No man was so well qualified at that time as he, to express an opinion upon this subject, for not only was he in correspondence with persons in all parts of the country, but the noble virtue of the man as well as his learning, his judicial impartiality and conservatism, made him a most competent and convincing witness. And another authority, a publicist of equally unblemished private and public reputation, the Hon. Robert Dale Owen, while endorsing Judge Edmonds’ estimate adds [The Debatable Land between This World and the Next, p 174- London Ed. 1874] that there are at least an equal number in the rest of Christendom. To avoid all chance of exaggeration he, however, deducts one-fourth from both amounts and (in 1874) writes the sum-total of the so-called Spiritualists at fifteen millions. But whatever the aggregate of believers in the alleged present open intercourse between our worlds of substance and shadow, it is a known fact that the number embraces some of the most acute intellects of the day.
