Description
Arthur Conan Doyle wrote The Vital Message as a sequel in spirit to The New Revelation, signing the preface at Crowborough in July 1919. The earlier book showed a dawn, he says, and now the sun stands higher over our new relations with the unseen. He compares the future to Lombardy seen shining from a bleak Alpine pass.
Doyle cites V. C. Desertis on a Second Coming fulfilled by our material plane rising toward the spiritual, not by a descent from above. Even short of that blending, he argues, known facts will deeply change views of science, religion, and life. Five chapters follow, from two needful readjustments to the coming world and a possible second dawn.
