Yram

Yram

Marcel Forhan (alias Yram) (November 1884, Corbeil-Essonnes, France – 1 October 1927, Shanghai, China) was an electrical engineer, specialized in the electrical installations of trams and TSF stations and an occultist writer. He owes his notoriety to a metaphysical trilogy published in many countries. His books relate experiences lived outside the physical body using a technique named astral projection. The deductions he reaches found in his eyes a new paradigm, perhaps utopian, capable of creating a more equitable society which would no longer fear the advent of death and act in a philanthropic way. Some of its themes are common (but not specific) to Theosophy (the notion of karma, astral body, successive higher planes and spiritual evolution) and to representative authors such as Arthur Edward Powell. He died of dysentery on October 1, 1927 in Shanghai.
