Transmigration of souls, sometimes called metempsychosis, is based on the idea that a soul may pass out of one body and reside in another (human or animal) or in an inanimate object. The idea appears in various forms in tribal cultures in many parts of the world (for example, Africa, Madagascar, Oceania, and South America). The notion was familiar in ancient Greece, notably in Orphism, and was adopted in a philosophical form by Plato and the Pythagoreans. The belief gained some currency in gnostic and occult forms of Christianity and Judaism and was introduced into Renaissance thought by the recovery of the Hermetic books. Here, Bertholet provides a basic historical overview of the notion of transmigration. This is a standard primer from the history of religions school of thought.

Not illustrated. 1909 edition. Excerpt: ... THE TRANSMIGRATION OF SOULS CHAPTER I THE BELIEF THAT THE SOUL CAN BE SEPARATED FROM MAN'S BODY JET us first consider the belief that man - --' has a soul which can be separated from his body, or, to express the idea by a metaphor, that the connection of the soul with the body is that of a guest with a house in which he stays and lives, with the intention of leaving it after a certain lapse of time. So far as we can tell, this idea can be traced to the earliest periods of man's mental history. In modern times the popular conclusion that a "soul" exists, is usually deduced from the phenomena of "thought, perception, and will " man has a soul, because he can think, feel, and will. In the uninterrupted activity of these normal intellectual functions, we believe that we may observe, so to speak, the pulsation which indicates their vitality. Primitive man reasoned very differently: his attention, like that of a child, was first attracted, not by the normal and its constant regular recurrence, but by the abnormal, which struck him as strange and extraordinary. Now man was confronted by one abnormal fact, which even now he has not entirely ceased to regard as unusual, the fact of death. Death, then, must first be considered when we ask what led men to infer the existence of the soul. What is the chief fact that distinguishes the living man from the dead? The only outward sign is the cessation of respiration. With the last breath a " something " leaves the body, which existed within it during life. A window or door is thrown open when a man dies, a custom still widespread among our own country folk. Similarly, Hottentots, Fiji Islanders, Samoyeds, Indians, Siamese, Chinese, and others make a hole in the roof of the house or hut in which a...

The Transmigration of Souls, written by a professor of theology at the University of Basle named Alfred Bertholet, is an examination of the concept of transmigration, also known as reincarnation. First written in German, this work was translated into English by Reverend H.J. Chaytor and has now been republished by Forgotten Books. This is a brief work that argues for the existence of transmigration by tracing the concept across different religions and through various societies and cultures. The author begins the book by laying out three preliminary suppositions that form the foundation for the book's discussions: the existence of a soul separate from the body, the belief that non-humans possess souls, and the acceptance that souls can be transferred between organisms. The book begins with a discussion of the souls of various living beings: plants, animals, and humans. The latter part of Bertholet's work traces the concept of reincarnation through various religions, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhism. Space is also devoted to a discussion of metempsychosis in ancient Greece and amongst the Celts. While the author covers a good deal of ground in The Transmigration of Souls, very little of the text is written in a persuasive manner. The concept is presented more as a matter of fact, which may be difficult to accept for the skeptical reader. On the other hand for those who already believe in reincarnation, it may be a reaffirming read. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Bobby Byrd says "El Paso is a desert city rooted like a thicket of salt cedar, cottonwoods and mesquite on the banks of the Rio Grande. The Mexicans call it the Rio Bravo. This shallow ribbon of muddy water becomes, within the city limits of El Paso, the border between Mexico and the United States. On the other side is Juárez in the state of Chihuahua. Many different people, whether they like it or not, have to come through El Paso. That's what el paso means, the pass, a place togo through. Some, like myself and my family, end up staying a long time." "Byrd sure shoots a mean game with words. His language, his subject matter, his sensibility are there to remind us that 'we really inhabit / the holy body of God,' that we are all 'hungry ghosts / all of us." Ultimately, Byrd's book is about the community Byrd has learned to embrace--his book is a work that pays homage to those who have formed him--his neighbors, his children, his wife, the poets whose voices still urge him to write. This is a book for everybody." --Benjamin Alire Sáenz
