hypnotic condition-the highest state
or suggestib1lity- 1 informed her,
while in that condition, that she could
go anywhere she chose if she held
the desire with quiescent concentra-
tion-not with intensity
But few moments elapsed ere she
said, with the tears streaming down
her face: why, 1 am back in my old
home once more, away up here in
Muscatine. Ia The old home has had
many changes, and father has passed
away since I was last here"
There was Iull for moment or
two, then she said: "Oh, 1 see. Yes,
see the papers that father put away
so carefully-the papers in regard tc
the property. Yes, he died without
telling any of us about them, and, so
far, all search for them has been
without avail 1 now know why
have been so anxious to pass into this
condition The longing has been
fully satisfied, and / am ready to re-
| turn
Then, by 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.
| does anyone in that condition.
The next day she wrote home; all
the impressions of the previous night
came readily to her. In a few days
came a letter from the old home
which proved the accuracy of her
clairvoyance; yes, to the minutest
detail.
Let us reason together a moment.
n
As for myself, 1 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
telepathically 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: Il 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. had |
previously said: you may go where
you desire The going naturally i'm
piled the coming back. But when / |
said: How can you say "I 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
'Tis 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 impelled her to seize this oppor-
tunity. If she could have become suf-
ficiently passive (objectively) she
would have received it, Had she
gone to 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
-hermore, she = might-have-bee
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 is
hypnotized and one who is clair
Voyant?
Hypnotism is a condition of haIlu-
the subject being wholly un-
Ter the control of the operator, and,
as such, accepts any suggestion given
hat is not in violation of his settled |
principles. Whereas, the clairvoyant
passes through and beyond the hyp-
1otic state and conditions pertaining
hereto, becomes wholly Independent,
s no longer governed by suggestion,
