James Stanley Grimes was one of the most important American writers on animal magnetism. Grimes maintained that the effects of mind on matter and of mind upon mind occurred through a medium he called the 'etherium.' "The study of the way in which the etherium conveys impressions from one mind to another and the way in which these impressions are channeled through the physical organism he calls 'etherology.'" See Crabtree. Grimes' "Etherology" was first published in Boston and New York 1845. This second edition is revised and edited. Grimes' work inspired the American seer Andrew Jackson Davis to visit the spirit world through techniques of mesmerism. See Falk Doris V.

But this Truth was never shown in the Churches or religions, Christian or otherwise. It was always way off by itself somewhere and had to be "found" by digging persons. We Occult students do, however, apparently owe a debt to a religion - the religion of Islam - which did collect and protect some bacis Occult concepts which we now have in the form of the Qabalah system, and which system I have tried to give some Knowledge of in this book..." - from Introduction.
