about

"The wonderful country of the Diakka excites your unenlightened fancy, first, by its mighty wealth of magnitude, and second, by the wonderful character of its aerial crown, over the shadow of the enchained trapezium, mottled with delicate brilliant points, so dazzlingly bright and exquisitely prismatic as to make the immediate surroundings black, giving the beholder an impression that the hills and dales and forests beneath must be insufferably splendid with diamonds and golden riches too perfect for earthly eyes to gaze upon. Intense, central globular lights, softened rapidly into frames of perfect globes of blackness, but with very jagged and broken outline, appearing and disappearing under the eye, sometimes in bars and lines of incalculable length, at other times at irregular intervals and with the free variety of order, almost complete chaos, peculiar to the appearance of stars and the constellations visible at night from earth in different parts of the sky." - Andrew Jackson Davis, "The Diakka and Their Earthly Victims" p. 6.

"The Diakka and Their Earthly Victims'' was published by the North American spiritualist Andrew Jackson Davis in 1873. Also known as "The Seer of Poughkeepsie", Davis was an early explorer of mesmerism and mediumistic trance, utilizing his gift for spirit flight to explore outer and inner space, convey healing and connect to gnostic sources of knowledge. He is considered by some to have sensed the existence of Neptune and Pluto before their discovery, and also to have propounded a version of the theory of evolution prior to the publication of "On the Origin of Species' '.

In the channeled treatise Principles of Nature (1847), Andrew Jackson Davis states "It is a truth that spirits commune with one another while one is in the body and the other in the higher spheres - and this, too, when the person in the body is unconscious of the influx, and hence cannot be convinced of the fact; and this truth will ere long present itself in the form of a living demonstration. And the world will hail with delight the ushering in of that era when the interiors of men will be opened, and the spiritual communion will be established.”
