Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Belief in Personal Immortality Yet I should never have been so absorbed in the subject but for the pain that it originally cost me to lose, first of all, the belief in personal immortality, and finally even the hope of it. I cannot help feeling that there is a very strong presumption against any kind of survival that implies individual continuity or reunion with those whose presence here diffused incomparable happiness while they still lived. But if such a conviction forces itself upon any of us, surely we had better face it and adjust our philosophy of life - and, indeed, our most practical activities in life - to the conviction. If death has, indeed, any dazzling surprise in store for us, we shall have lost nothing by trying to put human affairs a little more in order without relying on any future settlement of bad balances, after the example of Mr. Micawber; if, on the other hand, death ends our conscious individuality once and for all, a great deal of it will still survive for others, if not for ourselves, so long as we have acted on what we really thought to be true. Character is immeasurably fortified in the ordinary course of life by the elimination of irrational hopes and fears from our motives, and surely the question of belief in the supernatural is no exception to this rule. I have freely used the personal pronoun, as there may be many members of the Rationalist Press Association who disagree with my own views on this question.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Immortality: A Study of Belief and Earlier Addresses It is thirty years ago this spring since Dr. Clarke preached his first sermon in the old historic church at Hamilton, New York, where I was then a student. The words with which he began his ministry were, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all," and for three years, Sunday after Sunday, he laid upon us the peace and benediction of his spirit. We were not aware that one of the foremost religious thinkers of our time was offering us the ripest fruits of his experience and meditation. The books that were to affect so powerfully the thought of our day were not yet written; but we knew, those of us, at least, who had ears to hear, that we were in the presence of a teacher who spoke to our minds and hearts as no teacher had ever done. "A word spoken in due season, how good it is!" was one of his texts, and a characteristic one. All his words were in season, for they were all charged with reality and sincerity, and they all "found" us. It seems, as one looks back upon it, as if a better type of preaching for college men could hardly be imagined, and I rejoice to remember that it seemed so then. While the sermon was going forward, one had no time to think of the method, so absorbing was the development of the theme, so moving the quiet application of it; but when it was over, one had leisure to reflect upon the marvelous simplicity of manner, the faultless adequacy of phrase.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically examines the case for and against the belief in personal survival of bodily death. It discusses key philosophical questions. How could a discarnate individual be identified as a person who was once alive? What is the relationship between minds and their brains? Is a 'next world' conceivable? The book also examines classic arguments for the immortality of the soul, and focuses on types of prima facie evidence of survival: near-death experiences, apparitions, mediumistic communications, and ostensible reincarnation cases.

This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Belief in God and Immortality a Psychological, Anthropological, and Statistical Study God, the soul, and immortality constitute, according to general opinion, the great framework of religion. In an earlier book I have considered the origin, the nature, the function, and the future of the belief in what I have called "personal" gods. The present volume is a similar study of the belief in personal immortality. Chapters one to four treat of the origin, the nature, and the function of this belief. They show in particular that two quite different conceptions of personal immortality have been successively elaborated; and that the modern conception is not a growth from the primary belief, but an independent creation, differing radically from it in point of origin, in nature, and in function. Whereas the primary belief was forced upon men irrespective of their wishes as an unavoidable interpretation of certain patent facts (chiefly the apparition of deceased persons in dreams and in visions), the modern belief was born of a desire for the realization of ideals. The first came to point to an exclusively wretched existence, and prompted men merely to guard against the possible danger to them arising from ghosts; the second contemplated from the first endless continuation in a state of completed or increased perfection, and incited the living to ceaseless efforts in order to make themselves fir for that blessed consummation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Belief in Immortality, Vol. 5 The present writer makes no claim to having any special light to shed upon the age-long question of immortality. He is rather an inquirer than an illuminator. Having been for a number of years interested in this subject, there has grown up in his mind a desire to make somewhat of a first-hand study of it. Others have worked in this same field and have given us, from time to time, the results of their investigations. All this is necessary in order to know how the current of thought concerning the belief in an after life is tending. No one cross-section of the belief can tell us this. We need several such cross-sections in order to indicate the direction of its flow. If the study made in this paper shall in any small degree contribute to this end, the writer's purpose will be abundantly fulfilled. The subject will be treated under four general heads. First of all we shall attempt an analysis of the concept of immortality with a view to determining the different senses in which that concept is used. Next we shall outline the different theories which have been advanced to account for the origin of the belief. Then we shall make a brief survey of the grounds upon which the belief rests. And, finally, we shall give the results of our own empirical study regarding the present status of the belief. The numbers included in brackets refer to the corresponding numbers in the bibliography at the end. Where the letter p is prefixed to the number, the reference is to the page of the hook quoted. I. Types of Immortality Concepts. 1. Plasmic Immortality: No part of the furnishings of the human mind is endowed with greater plasticity than the concept of immortality. It is capable of being moulded into a great variety of forms. Not infrequently do we hear the word used with reference to the rejuvenating power of protoplasm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Belief in Immortality: Its Physiological Origin; Its Theological Development; Its Scientific Decline; Its Practical Effect on the Well-Being of Human Lifey The Theology of death (formulated prior to the attainment of such knowledge) has been superseded by the Physiology of death (formulated on the basis of such knowledge). Death in the contemplation of theology a penalty, and only a partial termination of human existence. Theological development of the doctrine of Immortality, with illustrations from The Imitation of Christ, ' Law's Serious Call, ' - and the Burial Service in 'the Book of Common Prayer.' The belief in a life after death has arisen from the constant occurrence of premature death, and the mental faculties being, on the approach of such death, in vigour and activity, hence still desiring continued life, and expecting a future existence. Illustrations from Plato's account of the thoughts of Socrates under sentence of death; Shakspere's soliloquy of Hamlet contemplating suicide; Addison's description of the reflections of Cato about to commit self-destruction; Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress composed in apprehension of premature death in Bedford jail. Premature deaths in general a direct consequence of N ature's law of over-production of life, discovered by the Geologists, and, as regards human life, by Malthus and Darwin, showing that more human beings are recklessly brought into existence than can possibly live to attain to death through organic decay; thevast majority of actual deaths being life cut short by various diseases ('nature's terrible correctives of redundancy occasioned by poverty and privation, overcrowding, intemperance, vice, and breeding from the unfit. Human intelligence a true Sanitary Science) ought so to regulate the multiplication of man as to stamp out premature deaths, with all their attendant diseases, superstition, and misery. Probability that on the decline of premature deaths the belief in immortality, or the expectation of any future life, would also decline.
