About this audiobook
"War Letters from the Living Dead Man" by Elsa Barker is a profound sequel to her earlier work, "Letters From a Living Dead Man." The book presents a series of letters claimed to be communicated via automatic writing from the spirit of a deceased American judge, referred to as "X." Barker explores deep themes such as the nature of existence, the spiritual dimensions of war, and unseen forces influencing human affairs. Through her connection with "X," Barker delves into his astral experiences during critical wartime events, offering a unique perspective that transcends conventional narratives. The narrative is rich with reflections on "X's" mastery of self and life, or Adeptship, and highlights his intention to reveal insights into the duality of good and evil, particularly during the Great War. Barker underscores the interconnectedness of humanity amid war's brutality and explores the moral complexities of love and hate. She suggests that humanity stands on the brink of evolution, with America potentially playing a pivotal role in fostering universal brotherhood and peace. Barker also reflects on movements like America's Woodcraft movement, which promote a return to nature and fraternity amid chaos. Her personal journey involves sacrifice and self-discovery, informed by "X's" wisdom. The narrative suggests that the spiritual ramifications of war, such as encounters with demons and the turmoil of the afterlife, serve as a prelude to a deeper understanding of love and eventual peace. The text addresses the impact of desire and violence, advocating for purification and alignment with higher aspirations. It emphasizes the necessity of justice in achieving true brotherhood, promoting a balance between mercy and accountability. Barker anticipates a post-war global awakening, fostering introspection and reform, with the hope for a future where brotherhood and justice prevail as guiding ideals. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
