The Duke and his mother NJ onca and her mother
departed from Barritz in an automo bile and were
followed by Triana and Dick in their disguised motor

Didn't Lose His Personality

TT seems altogether likely, then, that in Lon
don the process of dissertation, after this
period of gradual growth, suddenly leaped
into activity. Thereafter his Authorizations,
from being sporadic and vague, became ha-
bitual and definite his hysterio epileptic at
tacks more frequent. But, happily for him.
the dissertation never became complete. He
was left in command of his original personality,
his mental powers continued unabated: and
he was still able to adjust himself to the en-
vironment of the world about him.
But. it may be objected how explain his
revelations in the matter of the fire at Stock
holm, the missing receipt, the message to
Queen ulrica, and the death of Peter III?
This brings us to the question of subliminal
action. Swedenborg himself. far in advance

ence that have puzzled mankind from time
inmemorial.
Now, arguing by analogy from the cases scat
tered through the writings of Janet. Sidis
Prince, Myers, Quincy and many others whose
works the reader may consult for himself in
any good public library. it is my belief that in
Swedenborg we have prominent illustration
both of dissertation and of subliminal action,
and that it is therefore equally unnecessary to
stigmatize him as insane or to adopt the
terances. The records show that from his
father he inherited tendency to hallucina-
tions, checked for time by the nature of his
studies. but fostered as these expanded into
pursuit of the absolute and the infinite They
further show that for long time before the

being so unhinged that at times he suffered
from attacks of what was probably hystero

The True Explanation

THE true explanation, it seems to me, can be
l. had only when we view SWedenborg in the
light OF the marvellous discoveries made during
the last few years in the field of abnormal psy
chology. Beginning in France, and continuing
countries, Investigations have been set on foot
resulting in the solution of many human prob
lens not unlike the riddle Of Swedenborg, and
occasionally far more complicated than that
presented in his case. At these solutions, in
the last analysis, rest on the basic discovery
that human personality is by no means the
single ndivisible entity i. is commonly sup
posed to be- but is instead singularly unstable
and singularly complex. 1t has been found
that under some unusual stimulus,-such as
in Jury, illness, the strain of an intense
emotion,-there may result disintegration, or,
it is technically termed, dissertation, of
personality, giving rise il may be to hysteria,
it may be to Authorizations, it may even be to
a complete disappearance of the original per-
sonaIty and its replacement by a new per-
sonality, sometimes of radically different char
acterstcs.
1t has also been found, by another group of
investigators working principally in England,
that side by side with the original the waking,
personality of every day life, there coexists
hidden personality possessing faculties far
transcending those en- joysd by the waking per-
sonality, but as a rule coming into play only
at moments of crisis, though by some favored
mortals invocable more frequently. To this
hidden personality, distinguished from the
secondary personality of dissertation, has been

his soul on the day predicted, if prediction there
was. They buried him in London, and there,

his doctrines. To the dead Swedenborg sue
ceeded the living Swedenborgiaraism.
But what shall those of who are not
Swedenborgians think of the master? Shall

that he was in reality man Sc; apart by God
