About a year before her death, the Countess Bela Zichy -- nee, Mabel Elizabeth Wright (New York 31 Aug 1869-Budapest 23 Dec 1926) -- published this combination of memoirs and theosophical insights. Divided into two parts, the Past and the Present, Countess Zichy presents the case for spiritual guidance of a reincarnating soul. No matter how one feels about such an approach to spirituality, the books is a helpful account of the life of one of the more interesting women of a century ago.
Born to a wealthy New England family, Mabel Wright was first the wife of socialite Fernando Yznaga in what we might term the "Gibson Girl" era. Together, the couple lived a high society life of endless parties and entertainments, including seasons in New York and Newport, RI. This life the author found to be a hollow one, and by chance or design she was introduced to the concept of being a channel for written messages from the spirit world.
An adept student in this activity, Mabel came to believe that her way in life was determined and would be shown to her at the proper time. She then recounts her meeting with Count Bela Maria Rudolf Zichy, their subsequent romance and marriage, with the underpinning belief that their souls had been together ages beforehand in ancient Egypt.
The book is valuable as a slice of social history as well as a record of the Countess's spiritual journey.
