b: r Then, by q word. I called her back
to her normal condition. The tears
had not yet dried upon her cheeks,

She did moi, In reality, suffer; nor
does anyone in that condition.
The next day she wrote home; all
the impressions of the previous night
came readily to her. In q few days
came 4 letter from the old home
which proved the accuracy of her
clairvoyance; yes, to, the minutest
detail
Let us reason together q moment.
Was this clairvoyance or telepathy?
AS for myself, think it plausible,
possible and probable that ere the
death of the father he had been sub
jectively in telepathic communication
with his daughter; neither being OBJ
iectivelv conscious If II
But what about the changes that
had taken place since the death of
the father? They, too, may have been
GEOGRAPHICALLY transmitted by some
member of the family.
We really cannot or should not say
that it was not telepathy, If it can
be thus accounted for. Nor can we
or should we deny the possibility of
clairvoyance. If it was clairvoyance,
then the subjective mind clearly per.
ceived the changes that had taken
place and the putting away of the
papers. OF one thing you may rest
assured, viz: She thought she saw:
and she thought she was there.
Some very interesting questions
arise here. Let us consider them.
Was she there? Could she be in
Iowa and Texas at the same time?
Mark her words: II am ready to come
back" We would naturally assume
that she thought she was still there.
Note how amenable to suggestion is
the subjective mind when the sub
ject is under hypnotic control. 1had

here? she said: Everywhere is here"
She had now passed beyond the state
known as hypnotic, beyond the state
Of amenability to suggestion, and the
Ego assumed control; therefore the
response which proved so conclusive
ly' the omnipresence of the soul:
Everywhere is here"
IT'S true, the soul takes no cogni-
zance of space. Does the soul 60
out or does it look out? This is
question that has caused much con.
troversy. 1t seems to me that it is
best answered by the soul itself:
Everywhere is here"
Why did the lady insist on being hyp-

would have received it. Had she
gone to a psychic, the psychic would
have received it telepathically from
her, and then delivered the message
as if coming from the father. She
would also have described the father,
perceiving the mental image held,
unconsciously, by the daughter. Fur.

The question has been asked times
without number: What is the differ

hypnotized and one who is clair.
voyant?
Hypnotism is a condition of hallu-
cination, the subject being wholly un-
der the control of the operator, and,
as such, accepts any suggestion given
that is. not in violation of his settled
principles. Whereas, the clairvoyant
passes through and beyond the hyp-
motto state and conditions pertaining
thereto, becomes wholly Independent,
is no longer governed by suggestion,
because the initiative is in the
ascendancy, yet will return to normal
condition-that of objective conscious
ness-at the call of the operator.
Perhaps 1 can better illustrate it
as follows: When boy flies a kite
he cannot control its motion when
once he let's it out, but he can draw
