Life and its Mysteries by Frank L. Hammer

Book excerpt: LIFE AND ITS MYSTERIES first appeared in serial form in The New Age magazine, and in response to numerous requests, they are herewith published in one volume with their permission. A few revisions have been made and two chapters added entitled: “Future Life of Animals,” and “Answers to Questions.” This book attempts to explain in a clear and logical manner some of life's mysteries. Mystery, of course, is only the absence of knowledge, for when we understand a thing it ceases to be a mystery. But since we never will know all, there will always be mysteries. Some of the views expressed may not appeal to the orthodox or to the materialist, but they will prove acceptable to those who are seeking light regarding the deeper things of life—and to those who have in their home a chair forevermore vacant.
