On Reason, Morality and the would-be gods

Is the question of the existence of "ghosts," as Samuel Johnson averred, "whether in theology or philosophy, one of the most important that can come before the human understanding?" In On Reason, Morality and the would-be gods, author William Thomas Sherman attempts an answer from an empirical viewpoint; based on his own unusual personal experiences with "spirit people," in addition to a general survey of what can be learned historically, from ancient times up until the present day. The particular focus here, moreover, is on "criminal spirit persons" and how such have and will falsely take on the mantle of "gods," or other authority figure, to, as the author argues, the long standing and crippling detriment of humanity. If this as a premise be granted, ways are suggested both how to recognize and deal with what is, after all and as he maintains, the worst plague and cancer the world has ever known.
