The Buffalo Psychical Research Society
,met yesterday afternoon at DR.. Sarah
Morris home on Franklin street to listen
to Senior Julian de OWES on "The x Rays
Of Psychology q Known Quantity"
Se1or de OWES spoke for over an hour
on the fundamental principles of psy-
choIogy, pointing out the mistake partici-
poted in quite generally, even by savants,
that psychology was the science of the
mind as it affected the properties of the
five senses, and as their functions are
known and observed. 1t is not in this way
that the lecturer treated his subject. He
went further than this.
With the physical eye man can see OBJ
jects. His range of vision can pierce a
limited distance in space. Ali this his
mental eye can do, and much more. The
mental eye is restricted by no distance
limitations. Senor de OWES taught that
the blind man whose sightless orbs stare
into vacancy in physical sense can yet
see by means of his mental eye. He dis
PEELED the terrors of blindness. Not by
word OF mouth did he prove his assertion,
but he essayed to give practical demonstra-
ton of its truth. The audience, which
filled all the available space in the parlors,
listened with rapI attention to the truly
wonderful doctrines voiced by the lee
turer, and when it came to demonstrating
bis beliefs and expositions of the powers
of the mental eye were given, the audience
was spellbound. 1t is hard to believe that
blind man can read book. Yet be did
it. He gave answers blindfold to written
questions which he had never seen. He
distinguished colors by the sense of feel
ing alone. More than this, he distin-
laod anln xrVifh hon r,nh ,,l1
ing them.
But before making these demonstration
he explained the reasons why they were
| made possible. He said that he was not
possessed of any occult gifts peculiar 10
himself Any person excepting fool or
an i'm becile had within him this mind s
eye, which could be brought under con-
troll if a proper knowledge of the work
ings and possibilities were understood.
The student in psychical research edu-
Gates the god within him, while the ply ST.
cal man only educates the animal within
him. The x ray can only please that
sense called sight, while the x raw of the
soul is that which sees because 1t feels.
When we see objects with our souls eye
we need no sense of touch; we need no
physical eyes to see, nor ears to hear.
He cited the case of the famous Miss
Kellar, who is blind, deaf and dumb, yet
reads and writes on subjects which a per-
son with physical sight would think it
were absolutely imperative to see in order
to describe. She is enabled to do this by
the x ray of the soul which every man
and woman possesses.
''Jesus Christ never came on earth to
mystify u.s." said Senor de Ovies "The
development of the psychical power be-
longs to every one OF US, and can be as
sisted by proper diet, proper mode of
living, charity, love to all, and other aids
to more rapid development. The soul is
the real u.s. the ego. When we speak of
the mind of man in the generally accepted
sense, we make a mistake. 1t has moth
ing to do with the soul whatsoever.
There is an enveloping something which
surrounds and is attached to the body of
every being by cord. This is called the
ora. This ora may go far from the body,
may cross lands and seas, but it is still
connected with the body by this INSOFAR
able cord which acts as an agent of COM
munication between the two.
"a gland is situated at the base and
back part of the brain which is known as
the pineal eye" said the speaker. II
defy any anatomist to explain any physi-
cal function for this gland. 1t is the sea
of the SOUL"
Senior de OWES then exhibited several
pieces of different colored cloths, and said
he would show that a person carefully
sense of touch. Three subjects in the au-
dience volunteered their services One
was blindfoided so as to preclude any pos
sibility OF seeing. A disinterested person
then gave the subject one of the pieces OF
cloth 10 touch with the fingers. Promptly
the subject would tell the color. This
demonstration was several times repe ated.
Last OF all the lecturer himself showed the
remarkable capabilities of the mental eye.
First his eyes were closed and sealed
with adhesive plasters. Two napkins
were folded over his eyes and bound on
with black handkerchief. An assistant
volunteered to wave the cloth before his
face, ard he told each separate color. Men,
bers of the audience passed handkerchiefs
and different colored articles to test the
lecturer. This exhibition was explaine d
as the results of ether waves acting on the
SOULS eye.
But most surprising was the concluding
exhibition. Several notes were written on
paper and passed to Senior de OWES, blind
folded as before. BY touching the writing
his souls eye" read the contents, and he
readily wrote correct answers to the notes.
Books were given him. He would place
his hand over the printing and tell the
title of the book. Buffalo Courier.
