Excerpt from Spirit Mediumship: Its Various Phases, How Developed and Safely Practiced, a Compendium of Psychic Science, for Seances, Circles and Individual Use, the Medium's Companion and Guide
In publishing this book the author hopes to be of some assistance in eliminating the absurd and ridiculous vagaries that have become attached to Spiritualism and Mediumship, and to help counteract the extravagant claims of some of its opponents regarding "The Dangers of Psychism," or the practice of mediumship; and most of all, to give encouragement and assistance to mediums in their laudable efforts to unfold the beautiful faculty and God-given gift of mediumship. Every well-developed medium and every well-informed spiritualist knows that the application of the teachings of Modern Spiritualism is the salvation of mankind; and also that modem Spirit Mediumship is the rock upon which it rests.
Experience is the greatest teacher, and the author of this book being a medium himself with many years of active service, and having personally experienced nearly every phase of mediumship mentioned in this work, naturally feels that he is better qualified to speak upon the subject than are many authors of note who have developed no mediumship themselves, and whose knowledge of the subject has come to them second hand, as all they know has been acquired by observation of the phenomena occurring through others.
The facts here recorded are based entirely upon the author's forty-six years and more of daily experience through his own mediumship, and the teachings of his spirit inspirers, as well as through the mediumship of his wife and many others. His knowledge of the subject being founded on personal experience, may furnish an excuse and partially justify the frequent personal reference made throughout the book.
