The Seance, one of Singer's finest collections of stories is set in the terrain of imaginination, a world of shadows inhabited by saints and sinners, the quick and the dead, angels and demons. the scene is largely the Old World, yet the characters and the truths they illustrate are universal.
The stories range from the ironic and poignant title story in which an old man regularly visits a Central Park West medium who' more than once…emerged from her trance tot discuss stocks, bonds and dividends' to perhaps the masterpiece of the collection, 'Cockadoodledoo', an allegory in the classic fable tradition, a monologue delivered by a rooster who speaks in terms of the Jewish and human experience.

At first Dr. Kalisher had asked Bhaghavar Krishna the details of his earthly existence but had been told by Bhaghavar Krishna that he had forgotten everything in the heavenly mansions in which he dwelt. All he could recall was that he had lived in the suburbs of Madras. Bhaghavar Krishna did not even know that in that part of India Tamil was spoken. When Dr. Kalisher tried to converse with him about Sanskrit, the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, the Sakuntala, Bhaghavar Krishna replied that he was no longer interested in terrestrial literature.

The Masters still remembered Dr. Kalisher, and still had plans for him in connection with the Centennial Conference of the Hierarchy. Even the fact that his family had perished in Treblinka, Maidanek, Stutthof was closely connected with the Powers of Light, the Development of Karma, the New Cycle after Lemuria, and with the aim of leading humanity to a new ascent in Love and a new Aquatic Epoch.
