140 Body and Soul The Baha'i teachings with regard to body and soul, and the life after death, are quite in harmony with the results of psychical research.

They teach, as we have seen, that death is but a new birth--the escape from the prison of the body into a larger life, and that progress in the afterlife is limitless.
A large body of scientific evidence has gradually been accumulating which in the opinion of impartial but highly critical investigators is amply sufficient to establish beyond all question the fact of a life after death--of the continued life and activity of the conscious "soul" after the dissolution of the material body.

As F.W.

H.Myers says in his Human Personality, a work which summarizes many of the investigations of the Psychical Research Society:-- Observation, experiment, inference, have led many inquirers, of whom I am one, to a belief in direct or telepathic intercommunication, not between the minds of men still on earth only, but between minds or spirits still on earth and spirits departed.

Such a discovery opens the doors also to revelation....
We have shown that amid much deception and self-deception, fraud and illusion, veritable manifestations do reach us from beyond the grave.
