Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free.

(In the present one lives no longer from day to day, but f...)
In the present one lives no longer from day to day, but from hour to hour, and even a fleeting memory of the joys that are no more refreshes the soul wearied, and fainting with a pallid anxiety that wraithlike envelops the whole being in a thrall of sadness. To-day I heard music which I had known and loved in the happy, careless long ago, and whilst I was lost in a dream of half-forgotten bliss I smelt the fragrance of mimosa flower. I cannot describe the sensations of joy that thrilled through my whole being. An involuntary moving of the spirit, an emergence into a dream world, described by the Greeks as ecstasy. The music fashioned the invisible link, and I was back again on a hillside where the mimosa grew in native abundance. Now, one thinks of France only as a hideous battle plain, but memory, the true dispensator of time, is never bound by years. She keeps ever fresh, in glowing colors, those ideal moments that gather up the utter joys of life into one divine sheaf of memory.

"Highly readable." -Life Magazine I have written in this book of the miracles I have seen. Some of them any one can see, others are reserved for the delectation of the few. I have written of strange visitants from other realms, and of that vivid illumination which at moments lays bare the hidden springs of life, when the spirit emerges beyond the limit of human thought, and familiar things, beyond the horizon of life, and touches a sphere beyond immortality. It is a condition that the grave has nothing to do with, a beholding beyond the frontiers of the soul. I have written of the spiritual life, for without this spiritual life a palace would be no wider than a tomb. The vastness of the spirit world defies description. It can choose its own pathways, and any one of these long, long roads leading to the great mysteries. It is now almost universally acknowledged that psychic experiences, of a specific nature, occur at certain times to certain people, that are not explicable by any known science. Generally, they are experiences which point to the continuity of the human consciousness with a wider spiritual environment, from which the normal man is shut off. A few such experiences that have come to me I record. I have proved conclusively to my own consciousness that I am linked up with a wider consciousness from which, at times, such experiences flow in. I know my soul to be in touch with a greater soul, which at moments enters into communication with me, and opens out a vastness which it is impossible to translate into words, and which annihilates space and time. I have had my vision, and I know. Therefore I am quite unmoved by criticism or ridicule.

Violet Chambers was born in Edinburgh, the eldest daughter of Robert Chambers, editor of Chambers" Journal, and the granddaughter of Robert Chambers, the publisher and founder of West & R Chambers. In her teens she assisted her father in his work, and in 1889 moved to London where she had her first novel, "And They Two", published, and became involved in humanitarian "rescue work" in the East End.
She also had influential contacts abroad including, Marie, Countess of Caithness, Duchess of Medina Pomar (Papal States), who was close to prominent Theosophist, Helena Blavatsky. She worked with the mediums Charles Williams and Cecil Husk (1847–1920), and was called as an expert witness when trance medium, Meurig Morris, sued the Daily Mail for libel in April 1932—although the case went against Morris, no fraud or dishonesty on the medium"s part was proven. She was a prolific writer of short stories, published as anthologies, and novels, often with a romantic or supernatural theme.
She wrote over 30 books on spiritual subjects, such as "The Cosmic Christ" (1930), and her own personal psychic experiences were documented in "Ghosts I have Seen" (1920).
