20 anywhere she chose II she held
the desire with a quiescent concentra
tion-not with intensity.
But few moments elapsed ere she
said. with the tears streaming down
her face: why. | am back in my old
home once more, away up here in
Muscatlne, Ia. The old home has had
many changes, and father has passed
away since | was last here"
There was a lull for a moment OF
two, then she said "Ob, see. Yes,
! see the papers that father put away
so carefully-the papers in regard to
the property Yes, he died without
telling any of us about them, and, so
far, all search for them has been
without avail. now know why
have been so anxious to pass into this
condition. The longing has been
fully satisfied, and l am ready to re-
turn
Then, by a word. / called her back
to her normal condition. The tears
had not yet dried upon her cheeks,
and as she brushed them away she
expressed surprise at their presence.
She did not. 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 few days
came a letter from the old home
which proved the accuracy of her
clairyoyance; yes. to the minutest
detail.
Let us reason together a 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
jectively conscious of it.
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. or one thing you may rest
assured, viz. She thought she saw,
and she thought she was there.
Some very interesting questions

Was she there? Could she be in
Iowa and Texas at the same time
Mark her words: Il am ready to come
back" We would naturally assume
that she thought she was still there
Note how amenable to suggestion is

ject is under hypnotic control had

piled the coming back. But when
said: How can you say Il am there,
when you are conversing with me
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 go
out or does it look out? This is a
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,
Noticed and so strongly desire the clair.
voyant condition? Because the subjec,
tive mind held a message of Importance
which it wished to convey and there
fore imrelled her to seize this oppor
tunity. If she could have become sui
ficiently passive Collectively she
would have received it. Had she
gone to psychic, the psychic would
have received it GEOGRAPHICALLY from
her, and then delivered the message
as If coming from the father. She
would also have described the father

unconsciously, by the daughter Fur
thermore, she - might-have-been-
honest in it all, from her view point
The question has been asked times
without number: What Is the differ
ence in the condition of one who /.
hypnotized and one who is clair
voyant?
Hypnotism is condition of hallu
cination, the subject being wholly un
der the control of the operator, and
as such, accepts any suggestion giveI
that is not in violation of his settled
principles. Whereas, the clairvoyan

because the initiative Is in tn,
ascendancy, yet will return to norma
condition-that of objective conscious
ness-at the call of the operator.
