Thomas, Franklin. How to Hold Circles: For Developing Mediumship At Home. Boston: Machine Printing Co. 1920. Second edition.
A New Thought inspired guide to practical spiritualism written by Omaha-based clairvoyant and spiritual teacher, Franklin Alonzo Thomas, writer and creator of “Soul Science”. A short but deliberately structured sequence of development exercises for practical spiritualism, Thomas describes the practice of opening communications with the spirit world with mediumship circles and the importance of maintaining focused concentration and good intentions. In addition to describing spirit vision and how to gain it, Thomas talks about spirit guides and theorizes on how different groups of people experience the afterlife as well as supplying some of his original poetry. Thomas would later claim to have been the victim of an NYPD sting operation with an undercover officer posing as a potential patient while on a visit to his sister.
