ABSTRACT
The soul possesses self-consciousness after death; otherwise it would be the subject of spiritual death, which has been disproved. The author's argue that personality or individuality itself dominates and transcends all temporal modes of expression. In his book on the Philosophy of Religion Professor Hoffding teaches that what he calls the axiom of 'the conservation of value' is the fundamental ingredient in all religions. Telepathy is indeed only the first link in a chain: there are further links, further stages on the road to scientific proof. The extension of faculty exhibited during some trance states has suggested that a similar enlargement of memory and consciousness may follow or accompany our departure from the life. It is partly responsible for the notion of the existence of a subliminal or normally unconscious portion of our total personality. At first sight disconcerting facts connected with apparent changes, dislocations and disintegrations, of personality, what author's call the pathological region.
