Author Description

If Jesus is the prototype for humanity, what are the scientific laws governing the soul's journey into the afterlife? In The Science of Spirits, Eliphas Lévi approaches the invisible world, not through superstition, but through structured and reasonable inquiry. Beginning with the figure of Jesus as the archetype of spiritual realization, constructing a systematic exploration of the soul, the astral light, and the hierarchies of intelligences — from angels to elemental spirits. Drawing methodically on traditions of Hermetic philosophy, and Kabbalah, and Christian mythology, this work proposes a unified science of spiritual phenomena. Where reason ends, faith begins. It is a book for thinkers as much as believers — this is Levi at his most lucid, most logical and most unbelievable in a stark exposition that challenges the boundary of symbol and reality.
