The Psychic Life of Abraham Lincoln

About Specification

In dreams, he foresaw his sudden death. He consulted oracles,

and at

age 22 was told by a seer that he would become President of the

United States.

Obscurantists and historians have dismissed Abraham Lincoln's psychic

involvements which, in his own time, were profound state secrets. But

Lincoln's rise to power coincided with the Great Age of Spiritualism and,

as a Mystical Unionist, he felt he was controlled by "some other

power."

Trauma and heartbreak opened the psychic door for this otherworldly

President, whose precognitive dreams, evil omens, and trancelike states

are carefully documented here in this bold yet poignant chronicle of tragic

beginnings, White House séances, and paranormal eruptions of the

Civil War era.

Aided by the deathbed memoir of his favorite medium, Lincoln's

remarkable psychic experiences come to life with communications

from beyond, ESP, true and false prophecies, as well as thumbnail

sketches of the most influential spiritualists in Lincoln's orbit.

Surveying clairvoyant incidents in Lincoln's life from cradle to grave, the

book

also examines the Emancipation Proclamation and the unseen powers

that moved pen to hand for its historic signing into law.
