TELEPATHY.


nomena. as though telepathy account
ed for every phase of the mysterious
workings of the mind. desire, there
fore, at the very outset to disabuse
the mind of this error. Correct ter
minology is essential to a 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, lis the
sympathetic affection of one mind by
the thoughts, feelings or emotions of
another at a distance, without COM
munication 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 thousand miles apart
as between those in each others pres
ence
When we speak of these things be-
fng 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.
I shall use the terms objective"
and subjective The objective
mind is the function of the brain.
1t 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 it's existence. 1t con-
trolls all voluntary motion.
The subjective mind (the soul
mind is a distinct entity. 1t controls
all of the silent, involuntary and veg
etative functions. 1t does not de-
pend upon the body for it's existence.
This brief analysis will suffice for
the subject in hand. The various
functions of the two minds will re-
ceive full treatment under the sub.
ject of psychology.
"Telepathy," as / understand it, is
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 it's
dictum in recognition Of this fact, in
consequence of which the skeptics be-
stow a smile of pity upon anyone who
is so cred ulous as to believe in tel
epathic communication.
How to Communicate TeIepathicaIIy.
Although communications are con-
stantly taking place without objective
consciousness, it does not follow that
one may not direct his messages at
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 as
well as at the hands of those who,
having the knowledge, misused and
Dverused it through mercenary mo-
ives
If you desire to aid oEe-mentally,
morally or physically-at home or at
a distance, you may readily do SO
after you retire.
When the objective mind is asleep
or is in allegiance, the subjective mind
(Which never sleeps is the more ac-
tive Therefore, just before dropping
asleep hold the thought of helpfulness
on and for the one whom you wish
to benefit.
What takes place? Your messages
are received by the housekeeping mind
(the subjective) of the one to whom
they are sent. 1t is not as mes
sage coming from you direct, but in
directly, i. e., the recipient, during
his waking hours, will be impressed to
follow an impulse coming from
he knows not where; an impulse that
will be wholly the result of your de-
sire: an impulse to spur himself on to
higher aims, greater ambition and the
exchange of hope and courage to dis
Mace fear and Encouragement; an
impulse to lay hold of every hygienic
measure for the restoration of health;
I'm other words, whatever you desire
for him, he will desire for himself, if
YOU hold the thought sufficiently
strong for him to get it subjectively.
A word of caution. To secure the
hest results it is neither necessary
or wise to inform tAs person of your
intentions, unless you are assured
that he or she is in full sympathy with
your undertaking; otherwise you will
be obliged to work against possible
prejudice and preconceived ideas.
While there is almost unlimited
power in the projected thought of
trained mind, l must admit that much
of the so-ca1led absent treatment re-
solves itself into self-treatment, as in
thousands of cases no thought what
ever is projected at the time of treat
ment.
