The Evolution of the Soul

Objections to past-life memories, and de Rochas's conclusions: could it all be suggestion? Then split personalities, Mireille (through whom a dead friend seems to speak), the Geneva medium Hélène Smith, spiritist séances, the evolution of the soul, and what de Rochas held certain and what merely possible.

About this book

This is the fifth of five notebooks that give his whole book in English. Part IV, "Objections and Hypotheses", and the author's conclusions — the last notebook of the series. After three parts of evidence de Rochas puts the awkward questions to himself. Could it all be suggestion? What do people with several personalities tell us? What does the case of Mireille mean, in which a dead friend, Vincent, seems to speak through her body? How did the Geneva medium Hélène Smith live through "previous lives" without any hypnosis? Do the dead really speak at spiritist séances? He closes with the evolution of the soul, General Fix's "religion of the future" and his own conclusions, separating what he considers certain from what remains merely possible.
