Saint Hysteria examines scientific, literary, and religious texts that share a fascination with the otherness of the female body, whether in ecstatic pleasure or in neurotic pain. Cristina Mazzoni focuses on material from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, mainly in Italy and France. Her approach uses the methodologies of cultural studies and feminism but also benefits from the insights of psychoanalytic criticism. She asks how the identification of mysticism with hysteria became prevalent, and explores the continuing dialogue between a historicizing view of hysteria and a view of hysteria as repressed religious mysticism. According to Mazzoni, this dialogue is discernible at various levels and in a variety of discourses. The medical history of hysteria, she maintains, is often linked to the religious history of supernatural phenomena, and the medical discourse of positivism depends on the religious-feminine element that it attempts to repress. Similarly, she finds a continuity between the literature of naturalism and that of decadence in their representations of the interdependence of neurosis and religion. Finally, the religious writings of women mystics and the discourses they inspired reveal an unresolved tension between nature and supernature, body and soul (or psyche) which, Mazzoni suggests, mirrors and complicates the very issues raised by hysterical conversion. Among those whose views she considers are the writers Jules and Edmond de Goncourt, Gabriele d?Annunzio, and Antonio Fogazzaro, as well as Graham Greene and Simone Weil; the mystics Angela of Foligno, Gemma Galgani, and Teresa of Avila; and the theorists Jean-Martin Charcot, Cesare Lombroso, Jacques Lacan, Simone de Beauvoir, Julia Kristeva, and Luce Irigaray.

Hysteria was a frequently diagnosed illness in the West through the nineteenth and much of the twentieth century. Today the medical profession has virtually abandoned the diagnosis altogether. However, this does not mean that hysteria has ceased to exist. In The Nature of Hysteria, Niel Micklem argues that the disease has merely shifted into other personal and collective forms. He traces the history of hysteria from ancient Egyptian times to the present and examines its mythic background. He also describes the involvement of sexuality in the clinical manifestations of hysteria to witchcraft, and various collective manifestations of hysteria in the form of sexual permissiveness and unisexual behaviour. Arguing that hysteria is much more than an illness, Niel Micklem suggests that the denial of hysteria in individual patients has coincided with the creation of an increasingly hysterical society.

This discourse is constituted by three topoi, or commonplaces, that have been employed by women over many centuries and that parallel the characteristics of hysteria. The three topoi are humility, which consists of the assertion of inferiority as a means of securing approval; physicality, which involves the deployment of the body in imagery and gesture; and authority, which is a claim of standing to be heard, often based on grounds of maternity or divine revelation. These topoi express a rhetoric centered on eros, which has emerged as a new center of authority, not replacing the historically privileged logos but displacing it as the center.

This is a volatile, unstable, and hostile world. The Light and Darkness are on an equal footing as we uncomfortably leave the last Dark Age. God's creation, the world, and all human souls are struck by harsh energies on a regular basis. This is due to the dark side of humanity ruling with its uncontrollable and disruptive ego. Kevin Hunter relays messages from his Spirit team surrounding what Spirit has to say about the state of humanity and what this life is supposed to be about. Some of the controversial topics discussed include Hell and the Devil, the real monsters of society, the Ego, what happens to your spirit and soul when you die, Jesus abortion, race, homosexuality, prayer and more. The Light's ultimate message in the end is what the entire spirit world is bathed in and that is love. Divine Messages for Humanity is an enlightening easy to understand read for anyone new to spirituality or needs an inspirational refresher on the nature of love.
