This book is a study of the narrative techniques that developed for two very popular forms of fiction in the nineteenth century - ghost stories and detective stories - and the surprising similarities between them in the context of contemporary theories of vision and sight. Srdjan Smajić argues that to understand how writers represented ghost-seers and detectives, the views of contemporary scientists, philosophers, and spiritualists with which these writers engage have to be taken into account: these views raise questions such as whether seeing really is believing, how much of what we 'see' is actually only inferred, and whether there may be other (intuitive or spiritual) ways of seeing that enable us to perceive objects and beings inaccessible to the bodily senses. This book will make a real contribution to the understanding of Victorian science in culture, and of the ways in which literature draws on all kinds of knowledge.

To be a seer is to use the eyes of the soul together with one's physical eyes--being able to move from one to the other, letting go of one for the other. For those who wish to develop faculties of higher knowing and seeing, "The Seer's Handbook" is a unique, practical guide, filled with exercises, meditations, and insightful commentary.

The prophetic movements in church history and in contemporary life are fed by two mighty streams: the prophet, whose revelation is primarily verbal, and the seer, whose revelation is more visionary in nature. While the role of the prophet is familiar, less is known about the seer dimension. To many people, these visionary prophets remain mysterious, otherworldly, and even strange.

Many books have been written about the hereafter but only because someone had read that the hereafter was another way of life. The fact remains that transition is leaving one world to enter another one. The fear of leaving is very real and if someone could shed some light about the hereafter then fear would be a back seat opponent. History as no proof except what we read, therefore everything that is written is either true or false can we say that history is one hundred percent pure face, no, cause all we have is the books to tell us the facts.
