Andrew Jackson called the father of modern spiritualism From the world of spirits, he drew strength and abilities, knowledge about the medicine of the future and events of ancient history. Humanity is yet to appreciate the significance and depth of these revelations.
The boy in fear of a drunken father wept bitterly on cold winter street. It was useless to complain about my mother, suffering from weak husband is an alcoholic. She could not help his son. Through her tears, the child asked God to intercede for him, and suddenly the angel stretched out before him white wings, and in the ears sounded marvellous voice: "everything will be All right, baby..."
Years later Andrew Davis is one of the founders of spiritualism, a famous healer and medium XIX century differently told the story of how he first appeared to the sign. Perhaps, then, he couldn't remember precisely, after all, was just a kid. And maybe the other: for a person who is able to perceive the reality, by the inner vision, does not matter, if he hears angelic voices or seeing the heavenly messengers in the flesh.
THE PROPHET'S BIRTH
The future great medium was born in unremarkable American family. His father did for a living and Shoe and weaving art, prepeva most of the money. Her mother was a homemaker and spent long hours in prayer. Biographers Davis noted quite a significant fact of his biography, connected with the name of Andrew. It so happened that a newborn few days lived nameless: parents were not up to it. When these are in for a visit a friend of his father, the conversation focused on the issue taking place at the time of the election of the President of the United States.
The guest was offered to name the boy in honor of the democratic candidate Andrew Jackson - the glorified General, the Governor of Florida. And then, I said, "But the name of this great man will not be greater than the name of your son, when he grows up". Simple work very accurately guessed the child's future. The seventh American President Andrew Jackson know and remember much worse than his namesake-a spiritualist.
Davis grew up like weeds. Father drank, any work not long delayed, so the family was constantly moving from place to place. Boy even read that I've been taught parents were illiterate, and to attend school regularly prevented him travel and work: his childhood gave the apprentice to a shoemaker and shouldered the infant son of the majority of economic troubles. In his autobiography, "Magic stick" Andrew repeatedly mentions that his childhood was poor, hungry and joyless. However, it was when it first began to be spirits with instructions, advice and consolation. Their voices sounded heavenly music that caused the unknown, beautiful images, filled the soul of a teenager unprecedented enthusiasm. Of course, the boy nobody was informed about his visions, but they greatly strengthened his spirit.
In 12 years the voice that is so often heard Davis, gave him a clear indication to move together with their parents in the town of Pokipsy.
Father, in nature "tumbleweeds", oddly enough, responded to the request of the son. Soon the family moved to a new place of residence, which later brought Andrew Davis new abilities and glory. There he visited the first absolutely clear and certain vision. This happened at the time of death of the mother. The teenager didn't know that was orphaned when he saw amazing in its brightness and clarity picture: dirty February street suddenly disappeared snow, flowers were blooming, and started chattering birds... blue skies have shed Golden light, reflections which before Davis stood a beautiful house, and Andrew heard a sweet voice mothers, reported that she now lives there and she's fine. The vision disappeared, the boy returned home, he learned that his mother no more, and realized that saw a new, happy world, where after the death moved his parent. Being a religious man, Davis felt that the Lord showed him a piece of Paradise.
OPENING OF THE "THIRD EYE"
Adolescence and youth Andrew Jackson Davis comes at a time when the United States broke out unprecedented interest in mysticism and hypnosis. The whole troupe toured in the United States, showing unprecedented tricks and introducing the audience into a trance. Naturally, the young man who always saw and heard something that no other, became interested in this subject. He went on a scientific lecture on hypnosis, however, the lack of education prevented to understand the described lecturer phenomenon. Then Davis attended a performance tour in Pokipsy of hypnotists. What amazement artist, when he could not enter thin, sickly-looking young man in a trance!
About the "defeat" of the tour Davis told my good friend William Livingstone town, who worked as a tailor, but very fond of everything related to hypnosis. Intrigued Livingstone invited the young man to try again, and a new experience was more than successful. Andrew not only fell into a hypnotic state, but declared itself as about the potential healer and the diagnostician. Being in a trance, he told the friend the tailor on diseases of himself and his spouse, with issued and diagnoses, and treatments!
Both decided not to stop there and continued his experiments. During the following trances Davis has demonstrated a completely unique things: read closed books, guessed the names of strangers, predicted that small events that really soon happened. Best of all he managed healing sessions. Perhaps this contributed to children unrealized dream of becoming a doctor, perhaps that was the purpose of the above, but Davis put amazingly accurate diagnoses and gave detailed instructions on treatment. The most interesting thing is that sometimes these "recipes" are not taken seriously by medical contemporaries, since at the time was not yet recommended drugs and treatments - all this had to discover and invent much later.
MEETING IN THE MOUNTAINS I
Apparently, the regular dives into a trance helped Andrew Jackson Davis to disclose his gift in full. On the night of 7 March 1844 he did what was later called the "astral travel". Being spontaneous polytrans, medium moved dozens of kilometres away from home in the Catskill mountains, where he spent several hours in communication with two great men of the past: ancient Greek physician and philosopher Galen and Swedish scientist and spiritualist Emanuel Swedenborg. As argued Davis, Galen gave him a magic wand, which can be cured many of diseases and Swedenborg promised support in all scientific endeavors.
This meeting is significantly changed the nature of the visions and revelations Davis. For example, he became better understand the nature of his gift and try to explain it to others. When asked about how he is able to "see" the disease, he described his method of diagnosis: the human body turns to look transparent, enveloped in a sort of radiance, and sick organs Shine dimly, less intense, which allows to understand the nature of the disease and make appropriate recommendations.
No less interesting became the surrounding spiritualist, his astral, or, as he himself their
called, "spiritual journey". The spirit Davis entered into a trance, vital above the ground, noting that which is not visible to the naked eye: mineral deposits, the topography, and underground rivers and emptiness... Elated new opportunities Andrew began to preach his visions, first in his native town, and then went on a journey around the country.
"SPIRITUAL WRITER"
Opened Davis in a trance truth demanded a system of writing. Thus out of the trance he was so uneducated and tongue-tied, not being able to clearly explain their vision. Livingstone, unfortunately, did not support the idea of writing a "book of revelation", because by the time he left tailor's craft and fully immersed in a new business based on the gift of Andrew. The young man moved to his patron and entered them into a trance, was engaged in the healing of the sick, of course, for a proper compensation.
However, the heavenly patronage helped Davis and this time. Soon he met with pastor William Fisbo and practicing hypnotist, Dr. laion, which helped him to realize what you want. During 15 months one took him into a trance, and the second recorded revelation. The result of this Titanic work has become a monumental book "Principles of nature: the divine revelation and message to mankind." The book made a huge impression on scholars of that time. His knowledge of medicine, physics, chemistry, philosophy, linguistics raised serious researchers-materialists in a deadlock. Davis could not know anything like that, but he knew it!
The most significant work of Andrew Jackson became the 6-volume encyclopedia "Great harmony, which he dictated to about 11 years. The knowledge and revelation contained in it was so unusual that the collection of appearing in more than 40 editions in the United States alone.
COMMUNICATION WITH THE SPIRITS
Being deeply religious, Andrew Davis believed in an afterlife and in the ability to communicate with the dead. Because his life was a vision of the deceased mother and "meeting" with the spirits of Galen and Swedenborg. Fascinated by the topic, Davis spent a long time at the bedside of the dying and clearly seen at the time of death the soul separated from the body. He said that the airRNA body, detached from the flesh always meet other souls, taking him to the afterlife.
In March 1848 Davis heard a voice predrekli beginning of a new era: the people will see what you could not see before. Andrew understood the meaning of the prophecy later - thanks to the sisters of the Fox, who was able to "see" the spirit of the murdered man. Subsequently, both became famous American mediums. Indeed, a new era has begun. Spiritualism has loudly declared itself, and Davis became one of his main followers. A lot of time he devoted to the study of life of the soul after death of the body. As a result of numerous Ouija became the book "Philosophy of communication with spirits."
Davis believed that communication with the spirits is useful because it allows you to lift the veil of the future and to understand the mysteries of the past. He repeated that the souls of the dead, with whom he had ever come in contact, are counselors good advisers warn wicked deeds and help you bring into the world of good. However, contemporaries did not hear Davis: soon a seance, like hypnosis, turned into a farcical show. Realizing that people are only interested in "miracles" and does not care of the deep philosophy of spiritualism, Andrew Davis walked away from this trend.
THE FATE OF THE GREAT SPIRIT
In his two autobiographies Davis wrote that had a very exciting life. Of course, it was good and bad. On the one hand, Andrew never felt alone, he was surrounded by followers, delighted the audience, friends who helped to write books and to conduct sessions. The medium was three times married, was able to get an education, which he dreamed of since childhood, to conduct medical practice. In his declining years he opened a bookshop and gladly sold not only literature, but also medicinal herbs, which he himself had prescribed visitors, is his gift healer stayed with him.
Another side of life Davis are not so optimistic. He was repeatedly betrayed and openly called a fool, because he did not want to exploit data over power for commercial purposes. Personal wealth and material goods were of little interest to Andrew, all his thoughts were directed upward, from whence came his priceless gift. Life Davis was trying to grasp its nature. Researchers who studied this man as a kind, came to the unequivocal conclusion: Andrew in a trance and Andrew outside the TRANS - two completely different people. So, put into a hypnotic state, Davis struck Professor at new York University George Bush, later wrote: "I have a responsibility to confirm that they had heard from the lips Davis saying in the Hebrew language.
It was a statement of geographical ideas of that period, he is in his age could not study in such a short time. He talked about the ancient biblical history and mythology of the origin and roots of the language, about the development of civilization of different peoples of the world... Such a depth of knowledge it is impossible to obtain, even after reading the books of all libraries of the world. The information he explained, would be to conduct a diligent in the study of the question of life. None gifted minds in the world could not compare with him in the fullness of knowledge". However, derived from a trance, Andrew did not have sufficient vocabulary to explain the easiest, most obvious things.
The secret of his great gift Andrew Jackson Davis took with him, having left this world on January 13, 1910. However, he left us abundant evidence that the possibilities of the human mind are in the initial stage of cognition.
