AUTHOR

The Reverend William Stainton Moses (see source Wikipedia for more details) (born Donnington, near Lincoln, England, in 1839, died 1892), was an English clergyman and Spiritualist.

AUTHOR OF ":PSYCHOGRAPHY," "SPIRIT IDENTITY," "HIGHER ASPECTS OF
SPIRITUALISM," "PERSONAL REMINISCENCES OF EPES SARGENT,"
" SPIRITUALISM AT THE CHURCH CONGRESS," ETC., ETC.

Educated at Bedford School, University College School, London and Exeter College, Oxford, he was ordained as a priest of the Church of England by Bishop Samuel Wilberforce in 1870.

He attended his first séance with Miss Lottie Fowler in 1872. Charles Williams and D. D. Home were the next mediums he visited. Five months after his introduction to spiritualism, he had his first experience of levitation. The automatic scripts of Moses began to appear in his books Spirit Teachings and Spirit Identity. The scripts date from 1872 to 1883 and fill twenty-four notebooks. All but one have been preserved by the London Spiritualist Alliance.

In 1881-1882 he helped to found the Society for Psychical Research, with Edmund Rogers and Sir William Barrett. Its early members included F. W. H. Myers, Henry Sidgwick, and Edmund Gurney.

In 1884, he was a founding member, together with Rogers, of the London Spiritualist Alliance, afterwards the College of Psychic Studies.

DESCRIPTION
Includes Biography of William Stainton Moses.

THIS Edition of " Spirit Teachings" is issued by the Council of the London Spiritualist Alliance in affectionate memory of their friend, Mr. W. Stainton Moses, to whom the Alliance owed its existence, and who was its first and only President from its formation in 1884 to the time of his decease on September 5th, 1892. Anxious to show their loving regard for one with whom it had been their pleasure and privilege to co-operate in the work which was so dear to him, and to which he gave so large a portion of his very busy life, the Council have concluded that the fittest memorial to his worth, and to the value of his labours, would be the re-issue of the book which he himself regarded as the most generally useful of his publications.

THE communications which form the bulk of this volume were received by the process known as Automatic or Passive Writing. This is to be distinguished from Psychography. In the former case, the Psychic holds the pen or pencil, or places his hand upon the Planchette, and the message is written without the conscious intervention of his mind. In the latter case, the writing is direct, or is obtained without the use of the hand of the psychic, and sometimes without the aid of pen or pencil. Automatic Writing is a well-known method of communication with the invisible world of what we loosely call Spirit. I use that word as the most intelligible to my readers, though I am well aware that I shall be told that I ought not to apply any such term to many of the unseen beings who communicate with earth, of whom we hear much and often as being the reliquiae of humanity, the shells of what once were men. It is no part of my business to enter into this moot question. My interlocutors call themselves Spirits, perhaps because I so called them, and Spirits they are to me for my present purposes.
