Publisher's Synopsis
You have on your hands the most advanced, useful account of the birth and evolution of the Universe and of Mankind. Although nearly two centuries have passed since its publication in New York in 1847; this outstanding book remains the most basic, cutting-edge text to be consulted in all matters of human knowledge. This work was originally created (dictated) by an unschooled, unsophisticated, yet highly gifted nineteen-year-old. He produced important information on astronomy, geology, archaeology, theology, history and metaphysics. It is evident that no ordinary human mind was its author; that the young man "loaned" his mind to higher, universal forces to execute this achievement. At that early age, Andrew Jackson Davis was already an accomplished clairvoyant, practicing medical diagnosis in the city of New York. Over a century later a similar seer, EDGAR CAYCE, also practiced medical diagnosis by clairvoyance for over forty years in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Acceding to the same fountain of knowledge, both seers' teachings still continue to create beneficial reverberations to the Planet.
