tNDIN lDO AIS, OF course, nave Dee
press their views. and from the
pens of several have come striking
and suggestive analyses of the evidence
assembled in the course of the sOCietY's
twenty-five years. In this respect
beyond any question, primaCy must
be given the writings of Myers. Even
before the organization of the SOcl-
ETY.. his personal researches had led
him to suspect that. whatever the
truth about life beyond the grave,
there was reason for radical changes
of belief regarding the nature OF
human personality itself, In the light
of the phenomena of the hypnotic
trance, clairVoyanCe, halluCInatIons,
and even of natural sleep, it seemed
to him that, instead of being a stable,
indivisible unity, human personality
was essentially unstable and dIVlSible.
And as the years passed and he
was enabled to coordinate the results
of the Investigations carried on by the
different committees, he gradually
became convinced that over and be
yond the self of which man IS normally
conscious there existed IN every man
a secondary self endowed with faculties
transcending those OF the normal wake
adav self. To this he gave the name Of
the subliminal self, and, in the words
of Professor James, endowed Psychol-
ogv with new problen,-th eXplor-
alton of the subliminal region being
destined to figure thereafter IN that
branch of learning as Myers problem.
Not content with this he gave HIM
self, with all the earneStnesS that had
originally drawn him into activity with
Sidgwick to the formulation of cos
mic philosophy based on the hypothesis
of the subliminal self and its opera
tions in that unseen world of whose
existence he no longer doubted. Here
he laid himself open to the charge OF
extravaganza and transcendentalism
and undoubtedly exceeded the logical
limit But for all of that his lahors
cut short by death six years ago,
and only a few months after the death
of Sidgwick-have been little short OF
epoch marking, and amply suffice to
VIndicate the existence of the once de-
spised. and still by no means Vener-
ated, Society for Psychical Research.

Committed to Telepathy

ITO return however. to the early days OF the
L Society for Psvchical Research. Valuable as
were the results obtained by HOdgsOn and his asso-
ciates on what may be called the antswindle COM
1nittees they had a distinctly negative bearing on
the supreme object of inqury.-proOf OF the e2l1S-
tence of a spiritual world in which human person
alitv survives after the death of the body. Some
enthusiasts did not hesitate proclaim at an early
date that such proof had actually been secured
basing this assertion the seemingly supernatural
facts brought to light by the committees on teep-
athv. clairvoyance, and apparitOns But the So
city under the leadership of the cautious S1dgw1Ck,
who was its president for many years, steadily re-
fused to countenance this view. and insisted that
before any definite conclusions could be reached
far more evidence would have to be assembled.
Thus the first ten years of the societys existence
marked by few positive results-the most
important being the statement of the case for
elepathy and of its possible relationship to appar1
tions and hauntings as we'll to the purely psychic
phenomena of spiritualisr1.
Indeed, the society formally expressed Its acqu1-
escence in the telepathc hypothesis as early as
1884 in the words Our society claims to have
proved the reality of thought transferenCe,-Of the
transmission of thoughts feelings, and images from
one mind another by no recognized channel OF
sense" But to no other dictum did It commit
itself until ten years more had passed. when fol-
lowing the so called census of Authorizations, It
gave voice to its belief that between deaths and
apparitions of the dying person connection eX-
Sted that was not due to chance. And since then,
it NAV as we'll be said here as elsewhere, the society
has contented itself with steadily accommodating
evidence designed to throw light the CauSal con-
nection between deaths and ghosts, and to Ilumine
the central problem of demonstrating scientifically
the existence of world and the immortality
of the soul
