About Arthur Findlay

A short biography about Arthur

 

 

 

Arthur Findlay OBE 1883-1964 was a student of comparative religion from the
age of seventeen, his parent were staunch Christians and burned his library
of books to discourage his inquiry. He was a hard headed business man a
retired Glasgow Accountant and Stockbroker and Essex Magistrate.
In 1919 he met John Sloan a direct or independent voice medium who had the
rare gift that enables those who have died to materialise their vocal organs
and thus vibrate our atmosphere. Once convinced of the reality of this
phenomena he sat alone with with Sloan with only his stenographer present
and discussed by question and answer information provided by advanced
inhabitants of that finer dimension.

From these discussions he established that the human personality survives
death unchanged. He confirmed that Gods were human inventions, primitive
people imagined that all apparitions were Gods, which accounts for their
number and savage nature. He confirmed that the etheric body was the real
enduring body controlled by mind unaffected by its transition.

In the 1920s scientists discovered that matter was not solid but consisted
of atoms which have been further reduced to particles or waves and Findlay
showed just as broadcast waves exist unaffected by each other so the etheric
world interpenetrated this world and was just beyond our perception As the
discoveries of Copernicus revolutionised man's conception of the physical
universe. The findings of Findlay revealed that life is continuous and has
purpose and is suitably expressed by Alfred Russell Wallace the
co-discoverer with Darwin of the theory of evolution.
After spending nine years investigating psychic phenomena he writes.

Man is a duality consisting of an organised spiritual form evolving
coincidentally with and permeating the physical body and having
corresponding organs and development. Death is the separation of this
duality and effects no change in the spirit, either morally or
intellectually.
Progressive evolution of the intellectual and moral nature is the destiny of
individuals; the knowledge, attainments and experience of earth life form
the basis of spirit life.

There is nothing more vital for the welfare of humanity today than to solve
the mystery of existence. I believe it has been accomplished and if
Humanism adopts this new knowledge it's philosophy will be unassailable Our
mental outlook will undergo a complete change and the world will be a better
place.
