Weekly Reading

This Week's Philosophy Reading

On the Edge of the Etheric

Chapter XV — The Sceptic

I once held myself to be a sceptic, and I am a sceptic still — sceptical of every conclusion not founded on evidence. It was evidence, patiently weighed, which convinced me of the reality of survival.

— Arthur Findlay, On the Edge of the Etheric (1931)

Stansted Hall, Arthur Findlay's home bequeathed to the Spiritualists' National Union

Arthur Findlay (1883–1964) — author, businessman and ardent Spiritualist — bequeathed his beloved home, Stansted Hall in Essex, to the Spiritualists' National Union. Today it serves as the Arthur Findlay College, a world-renowned centre for the study of psychic and spiritual sciences, carrying his philosophy forward for generations.
