Conclusion542 Post Scriptum[Flaptekst]: Carl Wickland (Wiklund) was a Swedish born, professional American psychiatrist who turned away from conventional medical psychology and became convinced that many psychiatric illnesses were the result of the influence of the obsessive spirits of the dead. With the help of his wife and medium Anna W. Anderson, Wickland communicated with the spirits. These intriguing 83 sessions make up the bulk of the book Thirty Years Among the Dead. His conversations with, in most cases, confused spirits, who dont even realize they are dead, are indexed in thematic chapters: Tormenting Spirits& Marriage Disturbances Spirits and Crime Spirits and Suicide Materialism and Indifference Selfishness Orthodoxy Spirits and Narcotics, Inebriety, Amnesia Psychic Invalidism Orphans Christian Science and Theosophy. Wicklands dedicated research, in combination with the excellent medium-ship of Anna, has resulted in one the most fascinating and taboo-breaking works on spiritualism and life after death-questions ever. Perhaps today the book is even more actual than it was in its publication year 1924. The mystery of death touches all of us, while, due to the intermingling of the modern rat-race, consumerism and internet-addiction, the general climate for the development of spiritual intelligence is worsening to levels that should concern all of us deeply.
