GHOSTS ARE EXPLAINED.
TheOsophicnI Society Holds Discus
sion on astral Phenomena"

-AfAa 90
At the public meeting. last Sunday OF
the Capital City TheosophicaI Society in
Pythian Temple a lecture was delivered
BY Dr. A. J. Corey on the subject of
Ghosts and other astral phenomena.
Being the second of a series of talks on
this topic by Dr. Corey, he first explained
the nature and constitution of matter.
Illustrating graphically the various grades
Of substance from solids to ether. and
thence the astral, mental, and higher
planes.
There is only one original source of
life, substance, and intelligence" he held
and all the great philosophers and cults
taught corresponding trinity. logically
the same, not even excepting that found
in the theology now prevalent among our
selves"
After establishing the unity of sub
stance and the unity Of consciousness
one can understand, he claimed. how the
question of apprehending a ghost or other
astral fact was entirely conditioned bv
the rates OF vibration to which our or
ganisms are capable of responding. Thus
it is no disproOf Of a particular appari-
tion 10 find that only one or two of a
company Of persons were able to see II.
This unequal development of our senses.
said he, is clearly shown by asking sew
eral persons TO indicate the limits of the
red and violet rays of the spectrum. In a
mixed company perhaps no two pairs of
eyes would agree. Experiments in sound
and touch would show similar differences
in people, and no doubt their minds
showed even greater disproportion.
The speaker concluded with instances. of
astral and ghOstly phenomena, some of
which came within his own experience
and that Of witnesses whom he named.
