munication is possible between mind
and mind, otherwise than through the
known channels of the senses. Men
tai telegraphy is q faculty long ,eipce
stunted through disuse, or IN evil

be developed"
Previously to giving you the
modus-operandf for sending mental
kilograms, desire to call your atten-
ton to the fact that faith in ultimate
results of the experiments is an i'm
| portant aid to success.
Notwithstanding the numerous,
we'll authenticated cases on record,
there are many persons still dfsfn.
clined to believe in the possibilities
of mental telegraphy." The same
was true of the Morse telegraph, the
Bell telephone, the Marconi wireless,
and many other Inventions.
| The people of India have good rea-
son to believe in telepathic commu-
nications in the form of mental tel
egraphy," because for hundreds of
years it has been to them an estab-
lished fact. The English had posi-
tive proof of the existence of men
tai telegraphy" during the Afghani-
stan war. The natives in the bazars
and coffee houses of Bombay and CAL
cutta discussed the issues of the nu-
merous battles and sklrmishes, as
fought, several days before the OIL
cials could get the knowledge through
the fastest courier system.
| Upon q close Investigation it was
found that there wero. certain Hindus
who were trained in the accurate
transmission and reception OF tele-
pathic communication.
Surely there is nothing unreason-
able in the belief that thought-waves
are projected and received and re-
corded in the consciousness Of
others.
You should, for the time being,
shut out all other thoughts and con-
centrate the mind on the message.
To the beginner I would say, write
your message as concisely and as
tersely as H. you were sending every
word at the rate of cablegram.
Hold the message in your hand, close
your eyes and fix your attention on
the mental picture of the recipient
and endeavor to be present, mentally,
with the person to whom the mes
sage is sent. (You cannot send a
mental telegram to a stranger, unless
the stranger is in sight, as you have
nothing upon which to focus your
mind)
If you wish an answer, you should
change your mental attitude from a
positive to receptive (passive) con-
dition. But this should not be done
until you are impressed that the
message has been received. But how
> is one to know this? effectively you
cannot know until impressed by the
subjective mind. Bear in mind that
the subjective mind is intuitive. It
knows. 1t is in touch with the SUBJ
jective mind of the receiver, and
when your message has risen above
the threshold of consciousness and
is received in the objective mind of
the one to whom it has been sent,
your subjective mind at once notifies
you by relieving your objective mind
Of further concentration.
BY concentration l do not mean
that extreme mental effort so often
employed. but. instead, a quiescent
concentration.
The more harmony existing be-
tween the operator and subject. the
better and quicker the results. This
is well illustrated by the Marconi'
system of wireless telegraphy. No
receiver will catch a message unless
said receiver is attuned to the trans
mitter.
Harmony. then, Is the first condi.
ton of response in all mental commu-
nications; the subject and the opera
tor being in accord. This is neces-
sary In order to admit of reciprocal
vibration and thus secure the best
results. Then follow, as essential ele-
ments of success, concentration and
confidence
Those who are naturally sensitive
and negative will find it easier to get
into the passive attitude for receiv-
ing. Those who are positive make
the best transmitters. Many persons
will find 1t difficult to eliminate the
element of doubt. It is customary to
discredit and doubt everything until
it has become an actual experience in
life.
