Andrew Jackson Davis (Pursuits in Higher Spiritualism) Part III

Hello from Tucson Arizona, USA

This weeks blog is about the man some say is known as "John the Baptist
of Spiritualism."  Andrew Jackson Davis  showed early signs of clairvoyance
hearing spirit voices.  A young man of little formal education, who experienced
a changing event that lead to a great mental illumination.  Leading to Davis
publishing over 30 books and obtaining a medical degree later in his life.



The Changing Event
On the evening of March 6th, 1844 Davis was overcome by some power which
transported him from Poughkeepsie NY to the Catskill Mts some 40 miles away.
Upon becoming fully conscious the next morning, he meets 2 distinguished
people: The Great Greek Physician Galen and the Swedish seer Emanuel
Swedenborg.


Galen (The Greatest Physician of The Roman Empire)

Whereas Hippocrates laid the foundation of Greek Medicine,
Galen further developed its theory & practice, and carried
Greco-Roman medicine to its zenith.

Galen was overseen by the Greek Healing God Asclepius
(The God of Medicine).

Galen was an author of over 80 medical treaties, Galen developed
a system of Galenic Degrees, which enabled physicians and
pharmacists to gauge more precisely the effects of a medicinal
substance.

Emanuel Swedenborg (The Father of Knowledge of Spiritual Matters)

Swedenborg had a visitation from the Lord who told him: He was
chosen to reveal the spiritual meaning of the bible.

After meeting these 2 people from the spirit realms, Andrew Jackson
Davis is able to be placed in a hypnotic trance state and is able to
dictate books:

1. The Principles in Nature  (1847)
2. The Great Harmonia  6 vol. encyclopedia (1850-1861)

In his autobiography "The Magic Staff" Davis tells that it was

Emanuel Swedenborg who was dictating these books through him.

Andrew Jackson Davis was also able to diagnose and prescribe cures
using natural medicines and herbs similar to of the Physician Galen.


Some of Davis' Contributions:
He predicted the existence of Neptune & Pluto before their discovery.
Many other scientific laws before there discovery.

Coined the place called Summerland: Where he had seen his
mother go to after she left the earth plane.

According to Dr. John DeSalvo: Andrew Jackson Davis gave
Abraham Lincoln several seances during the civil war.

---As a blogger I pose this question to the Spirit World through
you my readers:
 When will the Spirit World again start revealing
(Higher Truths and Understandings) through chosen mediums?

If anyone gets the answer, please leave a comment.
