Beschreibung

In "Psycho-Phone Messages," Francis Grierson delves into the intersection of psychology and spiritualism in the early 20th century, presenting a unique literary exploration of communication with the beyond. This work is characterized by evocative prose and a blend of philosophical insights, as it scrutinizes the auditory experiences reported during séances'—what Grierson refers to as 'psychic voices.' The book, influenced by contemporary debates on consciousness and the supernatural, invites readers to contemplate the nature of existence and the potential for disembodied communication, grounded in both scientific inquiry and metaphysical speculation. Francis Grierson, a prominent figure in the spiritualist movement, was not only an author but also a musician and a speaker whose fascination with the esoteric and the human psyche played a crucial role in his writings. Born in the late 19th century, Grierson's works reflect a period marked by a yearning for understanding amidst societal upheaval, particularly following World War I. His personal encounters with spiritualism and psychology shaped his perspective, leading him to craft this compelling narrative that connects sound and spirit. Readers interested in the convergence of psychology, spirituality, and the early 20th-century quest for understanding the invisible realms of existence will find "Psycho-Phone Messages" both thought-provoking and enriching. Grierson's blending of analytic rigor and poetic sensibility makes this book a significant contribution to both literary and spiritual discourse.

INTRODUCTION

Table of Contents

The word “psycho-phone[1]” was first suggested and used by Mr. Francis Grierson in a lecture I heard him deliver before the Toronto Theosophical Society, August 31st, 1919, a year before Thomas Edison[2] announced his intention of devising an instrument which he hopes will serve to establish intercourse between our world and the world of spirit.

My own experiences as a student in this sphere of psychic research in Europe and America, covering a period of thirty years, convince me that we have here a revelation of a new mode of spiritual communication unlike anything heretofore given to the world, not only different in quality but different in purpose.

From personal knowledge I can state that the recorder of these messages has not acted on ideas advanced by anyone living on our plane.

Looking back over the past two decades, I am led to believe that Mr. Grierson’s predictions in “The Invincible Alliance,” and in that startling poem, “The Awakening in Westminster Abbey,” forecasting the war and the tragic events in Ireland, were spiritual and psycho-phonic in character.

From 1909 to 1911 Francis Grierson was the acknowledged leading writer on “The New Age[3],” of London, which at that time had as contributors, H. G. Wells, Bernard Shaw, Arnold Bennett, the two Chestertons, Hillaire Belloc—in one word, all the most prominent writers and advanced thinkers in Britain, yet not one of them except Mr. Grierson could see the approaching world upheaval.

Early in 1909 he published a series of articles in that weekly depicting the coming war, and nothing of so drastic a nature had ever appeared in an English publication. In the spring of 1913 these articles were published in book form in London and New York under the title of “The Invincible Alliance.”

In the Westminster Abbey composition, published in “The New Age” in 1910, the characteristics of four personalities are plainly manifest—Coleridge, Milton, Shelley and Shakespeare—and I have not forgotten the sensation caused by this great work in London at the time of its appearance.

Having had occasion to study the social and psychic conditions in France, Germany, Italy, Austria and England before the great war, and after having been an eye witness of scenes unique in the annals of musical inspiration in the artistic and literary circles of Europe as well as the most intellectual of the royal courts, in which Mr. Grierson was the central figure, I now have a better understanding of the work he accomplished and its far-reaching import. The more complex the work the longer must be the preparation[1q], and we are now confronted with what will appear to many as the most interesting phase of Mr. Grierson’s psychic gifts, for the seer who ushered in the new mystical movement by the publication of “Modern Mysticism” in 1899 is now the recorder of messages which must induce thinking and unprejudiced minds to pause and consider such matters in a new light, and it is to be hoped that many more messages like these may be recorded by the same hand.
