TELEPATHY.

nomena, as though telepatky hEEcoaht
ed for every phase Of the mysterious
workings Of the mind 1 desire, there
fore, at the very outset to disabuse
the mind of this error. Correct ter
minology is essential to thorough
understanding and a thorough under
standing depends very largely upon
correct Technology.
Telepathy, telegraphy, thought
transference, mind reading, and mus
Gle reading are not interchangeable
terms, hence the need of proper spe-
cification.
"Telepathy," we are told, ''is the
sympathetic affection of one mind by
the thoughts, feelings or emotions OF
another at distance, without CON-
muntcation through the ordinary
channels of sensation"
This is proof, therefore, that the
communications are, or, at least, may
be involitional. The word distance"
may be misleading. Telepathic COM
munications take place between per-
sons In the same city, or the same
house, or, in fact, in the same room,
as well as between persons in dis
tant cities; yet equally as well be-
tween persons a thousand miles apart
as between those in each others pres
ence.
When we speak of these things be.
ing done without communication
through the ordinary channels" it is
necessary that we recognize man in
his dual nature, especially what is
known as the duality of mind. This
term is also misleading. Instead of
duality of mind-two phases Of one
mind ~ we should consider dual
minds; i. e., two separate and dis.
tinct minds.
| ] shall use the terms "objective''
and subjective" The objective
mind is the function of the brain.
It is the everyday business mind;
the mind that operates through the
five physical senses. 1t comes with
! the body, develops with the body
dies with the body, and depends upon
the body for its existence. It con
Gols all voluntary motion.
The subjective mind (the soul
mind is distinct entity. 1t controls
all of the silent, involuntary and veg
etative functions. 1t does not de
pend upon the body for its existence
This brief analysis will suffice TO,
the subject in hand. The various
functions of the two minds will re
ceive full treatment under the sub
ject of psychology.
"Telepathy," as l understand it, IL
communication between subjective
minds without objective conscious
ness. This may take place during
sleep, or when awake. In fact, this
goes on continuously all over the
world. and all through the universe
but science has not fully declared ita
dictum in recognition of this fact, IN
consequence of which the skeptics be

is SO credulous as to believe in tel
epathic communication.
How to Communicate TelspathicalIy
Although communications are con
stantly taking place without objective
consciousness, it does not follow tina,
one may not direct his messages a
will. This is especially applicable
to what is known as absent treat
ment," which, by the way, has suffered
much at the hands of pretenders al
well as at the hands of those who
having the knowledge, misused anC
overused 1t through mercenary mo
tives.
