Victor Hugo's Conversations with the Spirit World

First English translation of Victor Hugos writings on his experiments in spiritualism Reveals Hugos conversations with renowned discarnate entities such as Shakespeare, Plato, Galileo, and Jesus Examines his contacts with aliens from the planets Mercury and Jupiter and the revelation that our entire universe is a quantum hologram Discusses Hugos possible role as a grand master of the Priory of Sion During Victor Hugos exile on the Isle of Jersey, where he and his family and friends escaped the reign of Napolon III, he conducted table-tapping sances, transcribing hundreds of channeled conversations with entities from the beyond. Among his discarnate visitors were Shakespeare, Plato, Hannibal, Rousseau, Galileo, Sir Walter Scott, and Jesus. According to the transcripts, Jesus, during his three visits, condemns Druidism, faults Christianity, and suggests a new religion with Hugo as its prophet.To the skeptic, some of the conversations may seem self-serving--at best, the subconscious wishes of the nave participants. But author John Chambers places Hugos experiments firmly in the tradition of visionary literature and psychic exploration, aligning those experiences with the poetry of William Blake, the table-tapping experiences of the Fox sisters, and the channeled writings of the great modern-day Pulitzer Prize-winning poet James Merrill, whose spirits utterances uncannily resemble those of Hugos. Hugos transcriptions are the missing link between the early nineteenth centurys fascination with the kabbalistic Zohar, reincarnation, and the writings of the Illuminati and the rise of spiritualism and the societies for the study of psychic phenomena in the latter nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
