ABSTRACT
This chapter discovers 'Invisibles' to say about spirits, on the assumption that it belongs to the literature of spiritualism. Spiritualism has a compensatory significance. Nor should it be forgotten that a number of highly competent scientists, doctors, and philosophers have vouched for the truth of certain phenomena which demonstrate the very peculiar effect the psyche has upon matter. The 'Invisibles' assert that one's world of consciousness and the 'Beyond' together form a single cosmos, with the result that the dead are not in a different place from the living. The primitive projection of psychological factors is common to both spiritualism and theosophy. Modern psychology can affirm that for many people this problem arises in the second half of life, when the unconscious often makes itself felt in a very insistent way. The unconscious is the land of dreams, and according to the primitive view the land of dreams is also the land of the dead and of the ancestors.
