"LIGHT" advocates a belief in the existence and life of the spirit apart from and independent of the physical body, and in the reality and value of intelligent communication between living people and deceased spirits. This position it firmly and consistently maintains. Beyond this, it has no specific creed, and its columns are open to a full and free discussion—conducted in a spirit of honest, courteous, and reverent inquiry—its only aim being, in the words of its motto, "Light! More Light!"
Spiritualism, with all its complex phenomena (usually termed physical) and its philosophy, which explains and interprets these extraordinary occurrences; the powers of the embodied human spirit; the projection of the Double or Astral Form; clairvoyance, thought-transference, and hypnotism; evidence of communication with the dead and of life continued after physical death; occultism, mysticism, theosophy, and all related subjects; a weekly summary of all news interesting to the student of the occult, and especially to the Spiritualist, along with a very large correspondence section—these will all be found in "LIGHT." Each new addition to the literature of these subjects is also reviewed with the specific purpose of acquainting readers with the scope and contents of the book.
To the educated thinker who interests himself in any of these subjects, or with other questions of an occult nature, "LIGHT" provides a unique vehicle for information and discussion. It is the acknowledged representative of sophisticated and intelligent Spiritualism throughout the world, and is quoted and referred to as such everywhere. The Editor has the cooperation of the best writers in this country and abroad, whose opinions are worthy of permanent record, whose experience and knowledge are of the highest value, and who have no other venue for their publications than "LIGHT." This gives the journal a unique position and a singular value. It stands alone in the literature of the subject.
