Vermilye, offers a riveting and skeptical exploration of the extraordinary experiences of the 19th-century French medium, H駘鈩e Smith, born Catherine-Elise Muller. Flournoy delves into Smith's world of automatic writing and psychic visions, phenomena that resemble contactee accounts from the mid-20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eH駘鈩e, under the influence of her spirit guide 'Leopold, ' claimed to have psychically visited diverse historical and cosmic locales - from being a doomed 15th-century Indian princess to embodying Marie Antoinette in 18th-century France. Most intriguing are her accounts of Mars, where Flournoy meticulously documents the supposed Martian language and writing. The book includes hand-drawn illustrations depicting Martian scenes and vignettes, alongside over forty short texts in 'Martian, ' with translations in French and English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile this publication brought H駘鈩e Smith fame, she disapproved of Flournoy's critical perspective and severed ties with him after its release. Over a century later, \"From India to the Planet Mars\" remains an influential and fascinating work, capturing the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and the exploration of otherworldly experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Th駮dore Flournoy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1396323406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781396323409\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Left of Brain Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.25w x 0.85d","brand":"Th駮dore Flournoy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44652494618879,"sku":"9781396323409","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_11dd5ee4-96d9-4558-9288-6cc63657e16f.jpg?v=1704216389","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-india-to-the-planet-thodore-flournoy-9781396323409","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
