rected telepathic communication and
can be used for one that is near or
in sight or miles away. The soul takes
no cognizance of space or distance.
So-called absent treatment" is in

ton of the patient, knew nothing of
the patient and did not come in touch
with him at any time but simply
touched" him for so much a month.
There is no doubt that a wonderful
potency exists in projected thought
vibrations when emanating from a
highly trained mind.
These suggestions" for adults in

This thought, held by the mother
