"Human Personality and its Survival of Bodily Death" is a seminal work by Frederic William Henry Myers, a prominent figure in the field of psychical research and a co-founder of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR). Published posthumously in 1903, the book explores the concept of human personality and its potential continuity beyond physical death.
Myers delves into various aspects of human consciousness, including telepathy, mediumship, and mystical experiences, aiming to provide evidence for the survival of consciousness after death. He presents numerous case studies and anecdotal evidence to support his argument, drawing from his extensive research and investigations into psychic phenomena.
The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume focusing on the nature of personality and its relation to the physical body, while the second volume delves into the evidence for post-mortem survival and the implications of this phenomenon.
Myers’ work has had a significant impact on the study of consciousness and the afterlife, influencing subsequent researchers and investigators in the field of parapsychology. Despite being published over a century ago, "Human Personality and its Survival of Bodily Death" remains a foundational text in the exploration of the mysteries of human consciousness and the possibility of life after death.
