'What about that curious feeling that nearly everyone has now and then experienced - that sudden, fleeting, disturbing conviction that something which is happening at that moment has happened before?What about all those dreams which, after being completely forgotten, are suddenly, for no apparent reason, recalled later in the day? What is the association which recalls them?Was it possible that these phenomena were not abnormal, but normal?It was absolutely inconceivable that a thing of this sort, if true, could have managed to escape, through all these centuries, universal perception and recognition.' - J W Dunne.This book about the perfectly normal ability to see the future created a national commotion in the 1920's.
A new edition of J W Dunne's famous and brilliant time theory work. A short, no fuss account of the theory without mathematics. Also in the series; An Experiment with Time; The Serial Universe; The New Immortality
On the surface, Sphinx tells of the arrival into a polite and fashionable 1920's rural community of one Nicholas Cabot, a young man who has recently come into money. The deeper themes of the book include levels of consciousness, the nature of choosing, and the boundary between life and death - explored chiefly through the device of Cabot's esoteric chemical experiments. Like all of Lindsay's books, Sphinx gives up its secrets a little at a time, and rewards frequent re-reading.
