In the mid and late 1800s and early 1900s, families across American and England often gathered to communicate with spiritual entities through table rapping or seances. When we read accounts from that time, we gain a different view of these beliefs than people often hold today. Psyches were open to multidimensional realities beyond the physical. I love to read the actual accounts of peoples' experiences. They impress me as genuine, heartfelt, and very expanding.
