Soul and Body in the Explanations of Occultism

This book is dedicated to the most mysterious and important problem that has troubled humanity throughout its history: is there life after death? And if so, what is it like and what then is death? Why are we here at all? These questions and others like them concern every normal person; they cannot be ignored, they cannot be brushed aside, they cannot be escaped from, they touch and affect everyone and each one. The answer to them can be found by reading this book.

The author, a unique specialist in the field of classical spiritualism and its philosophy, a Russian translator of the works of Allan Kardec, Léon Denis, and Arthur Conan Doyle, shares his thoughts on the fundamental problems of existence, inviting readers to deeply ponder the soul, God, science and religion, and other "eternal" questions. The author shows that properly understood, occultism resolves the mystery of life and death, as well as all the difficulties of philosophy and religion, and puts an end to the confrontation between science and religion.

A significant portion of the book is devoted to the question of the multiplicity of existences, of the memory of past incarnations. Through a number of interesting examples, the author convincingly shows that to make one's life brighter, richer, and more successful, one needs to learn not just to memorize, but to remember. Indeed, according to Plato, all serious knowledge is not so much the result of the last experience, the experiences of the last days and years of life, but rather a recollection.
