Many Mansions

A bestselling account of the many healings and other works of a legendary psychic and an affirmation of the belief in reincarnation. In this study of one of America’s greatest psychics, Edgar Cayce, Gina Cerminara explores the “magnificent possibility” of reincarnation as not only a method to understand our existence, but the truth of it. Using Cayce’s detailed and expansive files that span decades of his research and practice in the field of psychic phenomena, Cerminara delves into the essential essence of reincarnation and its purpose. Told winningly and to the heart of the matter, Many Mansions will be a revelation to many and a confirmation to some about the meaning of human life and the myriad of opportunities afforded to us by the existence of reincarnation.

Gina Cerminara’s compelling book is . . . unique and extremely important.” —Jeane Dixon

In this book Lord Dowding, whose name will be remembered in connection with the Battle Of Britain, puts forward a strong case for life after death. The author presents the subject attractively in a vigorous and fluent style- there are no dreary chapters of analysis, full of meaningless phraseology-the book is written in a clear and concise manner, which can be comprehended and will convince all who read it. Dowding is no sentimentalist; he examines his facts soberly and critically from all angles; his plea for a better understanding of spiritualism will be greeted with enthusiasm by spiritualists all over the world and is bound to be regarded as a valuable asset to the spiritualistic cause. No one can question the deep sincerity with which this work has been carried out. Having in mind the many instances of survival after death on the battlefield recorded through various channels, Lord Dowding has satisfied himself that these records should be made known to the public as widely as possible, believing that they carry with them the hall-mark of truth. In the record of Lord Dowding's career lies the assurance that he is a practical man not likely to be led astray by specious theories, or to harbour delusions when confronted by hard facts.

Many Mansions is a book of spiritually inclined Poetry covering a gamut of subjects extending from Birth to Death,from Religion to Reincarnation,to Faith and Nature.In this edition Johns attempts to demonstrate the unity of all things not only on this Earth, but also in the countless Universes both seen and unseen, indicating his strong belief, that all things all beings are inter connected and ultimately are reliant on each other for existance; and that each being is affected by not only what we imagine we observe physically,but also by that which we cannot see affecting our spiritual and emotional lives. The book was brought about after some many years of investigation into the many Faiths existing in this complex world , both now and in ages past. The author gradually came to the conclusion that basically there is no valid reason why there should so often be such furious conflict between the great faiths, nor is there any spiritual excuse for such violen actions that occur daily throughout the world in the name of religion,misinterpretation and manipulation of the written word being one of the major causes for conflict.
