The Vital Message
Arthur Conan Doyle
In this extended essay, the creator of Sherlock Holmes argues for a new religion for modern humanity. He builds on his growing conviction that mediums convey true knowledge of the afterlife and its inhabitants to lay out a vision opposed to both skeptical materialism and traditional Christianity. Utopian hope and depressed fear of modern destructive potential combine in this view of a society that could be on the brink of renewal if only it trusted its spirit messengers more.
