Life Here and Hereafter

By Dresser, Charlotte E.

0 - Default Title
Description
In the early twentieth century, after the sudden death of Carrie Rafferty, her close friend and traveling companion Charlotte E. Dresser of Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and Carrie's husband, Fred, turned to automatic writing in a bid to communicate with her. In the years that followed, Dresser became recognized as a proficient automatic-writing medium, associating with the likes of psychiatrist Carl A. Wickland and his wife Anna (also a medium), writer Arthur Conan Doyle, and other psychical-research luminaries.
Using the nicknames "Sis" (Charlotte), "Dee" (Carrie), and "F.R." (Fred), Dresser wrote down messages from "Dee" and "Mary," a deceased American who claimed to lead a circle in the spirit world that assisted new arrivals struggling to understand why they often suffered in confusion and darkness, while others reported joyous lives beyond anything we can imagine. The aim was to help both the living and the dead understand that life continues beyond death, and the communications culminated in two books: Spirit World and Spirit Life (1922) and Life Here and Hereafter (1927).
The books reveal a wide cast of deceased characters-including earthquake victims, young children, a sportsman, a businessman, an alcoholic, undeveloped spirits, a criminal, and an unjustly executed prisoner.
In the vein of the writings of the direct-voice medium Emily French (via Edward C. Randall), Carl Wickland, and the deceased Catholic priest Hugh Robert Benson (via medium Anthony Borgia), these communicators share with the reader how physical life sets the stage for the next act-the soul's journey through the spirit world.
