theosophist and general student OF all
that is odd, now announces that he has
received by means of automatic writ
ing, from a very well-known spirit, the
information that every living person
what is called the sixth sense. In other
words, we are all mediums, contrary to
the general supposition, even among
the advanced disciples of spiritualism
The message or communication is
given to the world through Editor
Stead, who, for the time being, is un-
der the guidance of this feminine con-
troll, the real author of the statements
being known as Julia" Her mes
sages have been coming at intervals for
five years, and among the students OF
the occult are regarded as absolutely
true That is why Mr.. Stead lays so
much Importance upon them. 1t is
for this reason he holds that the com
munication between the inhabitants of
the world and those who have passed
away can be much more free if only
people will have it that way. In the
message Julia says:
"What l have to tell you is that all
those who really wish to have the sixth
sense, or whatever you may choose to
term 1T, so developed that they can at
will become sensibly or to their senses
cognizant of the reality of the existence
of the beings who encompass them
about, can acquire the gift or faculty
if they will but adapt themselves to the
laws Of the region into which they wish
to penetrate. 1t is potentially of the
universal human race. Nor is it only
human. Many animals have the open
eye. They see when their owners are
blind. But you can see if you choose
1t rests with ourselves.
''There is no short cut to the sixth
sense. There may be something like
it in mesmerism and hypnotism, but
that is not at all what l mean. What
is possible is for every child or man to
become what you call normaC- CLAIR
voyant-that is, for anyone to possess
himself of the power of seeing and hear
ing, as plainly as he sees and hears
material things, the invisible forms
and voices that surround him.
"The power is one that ought to be
under control. There will be only
harm done if you do not shut at will
the clairvoyant eye. Imagine the mis-
chief that would happen if when life
and death hung on the absolute con-
centratioh of all faculties Oh the sub
ject Immediately before you, if at the
70 c I he
whole phantasmagoria of borderland
pass between you and the point CT ex-
elusive interest. If you cannot control
your sixth sense you had better not
acquire it. It is much better to do with
out it than to be controlled by it.
"You should have the sense at COM
mand when you need it, as you have
your microscope or your telescope
But, better have neither if you are to be
compulsorily doomed at other will
than yours to interrupt the work Of
life by spectacle of the infinitely lit
tie or the infinitely remote. Man
should always be master OF his senses,
especially of the sixth sense, as it is
called"
In her further statements to Mr.
Stead Julia" goes on to say that the in
vestigator must always be simple and
not be constantly thinking Of himself.
In other words, se,f-corscioCe-css must
be avoided, or it will play havoc with
the chances of success. All ones men
tai faculties are needed. Everything
must be examined and tested without
prejudice and without partiaity. Moth
ing can be achieved without time and
patience.
The first thing to be done to see the
invisible ones, Julia says, is to be
very still and to wait. When quite still
and passive, close your eyes and think
of the one whom you wish to see. 1t 1t
is friend still alive in the body it will
help you if at the same time, although
that is not essential, he or she is also
passive and alone. When you have two
spirits in accord, both seeking the same
thing, the difficulties are less. But you
must be agreed in heart and soul. II
you could keep the concentrated quiet
attention for longer period than five
minutes without becoming tired, then
you had better do so. At no time, how
ever, force yourself, for strain means
failure.
If in this way, Julia" declares, one
succeeds in acquiring success, it is ac-
quired forever. There will be no more
parting between the one who has
gained his object and the spirit world.
The greatest danger is that the sixth
sense may control the individual in
stead of being in itself controlled.-N.
