About this listen

A Dweller on Two Planets or The Dividing of the Way, a book by Frederick Spencer Oliver, was published in 1905. In the introduction, Oliver claims that the work had been channeled through him by means of automatic writing, visions, and mental dictations by a spirit called Phylos the Thibetan.

The book provides a first person account of Atlantean society which had reached a high level of technological and scientific advancement. His personal history, and that of a group of souls with whom Phylos interacted, are related in the context of the social, economic, political and religious structures of Atlantis.

Some of the devices described in the book have since become a reality.

Long and disjointed, hard to finish

This is an old meandering story that has influenced several spiritual movements. Written in 1886 "from a channeled spirit", I agree with the statement in Wikipedia that says it's not good fiction. All 16 hours and 33 minutes use old English verb conjugations that sound forced, despite a good narrator. Mary Shelly's Frankenstein was written even earlier and it doesn't have that forced lofty language (thou doest etc.). The story starts out fine but then goes all over the place. Maybe it really was a rambling spirit. About 2/3 of the way through I thought it was really bad and just wanted it to end. I finished it, but overall it was too long and disjointed for me to enjoy.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
