THE UNFOLDING UNIVERSE" by Arthur Findlay / 1935 / 474 pages.
The republication of "The Unfolding Universe"
completes Arthur Findlay's much acclaimed trilogy, the
two previous books being "On the edge of the
etheric" and "The rock of truth." The
trilogy "is a result" says Mr Findlay, "of
34 years of study and thought". The volumes
"represent mature conclusions which have not been
reached hastily". In "The unfolding
universe" Mr Findlay writes of "a new
era". He continues: "The days of faith are
passing and the day of knowledge has arrived.
Consequently creeds, dogmas, ceremonials and rites must
fade away in the light of the new knowledge, which must
in time become accepted by all mankind, not by faith but
from experience. "Spiritualism, the name which has
been given to this new knowledge, will enter more and
more into every department of our lives. Nothing will be
untouched by it. Our science, religion, politics and
social conditions will all be profoundly affected and
altered. Knowledge based on evidence makes men and women
free, makes them happy, and makes them respect each
other." Now in its thirteenth edition, "The
unfolding universe" has justifiably been praised in
many quarters. "Psychic News" commented it
"gives a comprehensive picture of the universe, as
revealed by Spiritualism. It is a masterpiece of
reasoning. His philosophy and psychic experiences must
satisfy all human desires as to life and conduct on
earth, and our destiny after death." Meanwhile,
"Two worlds" said that in "The unfolding
universe" Mr Findlay raises Spiritualism "to a
new rational and scientific level by disclosing what is
false in religion and revealing what is truth. "His
books provide a new foundation for the building of
Spiritualism in harmony with the latest scientific
knowledge and philosophy, for he consistently appeals to
facts and not to faith, and never departs from the
scientific method which is the standard all Spiritualists
must accept if they are true to revelation."
