paratus which will give scientific
aspect to their work This apparatus.
let me explain, is in the nature of a
valve, SO to speak. That is to say, the
slightest conceivable effort is made to
exert many times its initial power for
indicative purposes. 1t is similar to a
modern power house, where man., with
his relatively puny one-eighth horse
power. turns a valve which starts a
% horsepower steam turbine. Nv
apparatus is along those lines, in that
the slightest effort which it intercepts
VIII be maCnifed many times, so as to
give us Whatever form of record we
desire for the purpose of investigation.
Beyond that don't care to say any
thing further regarding its nature
nave been working out the details for
some time; indeed, a collaboration in
this work died only the other day In
that he knew exactly what | am after
in this work, | believe he ought to be
the first to use it if he is able to do so.
Of course, don't forget that | am max
ing no claims for the survival of per
sonallty; | am not promising communi-
cation with those who have passed out
of this life. | merely state that am
giving the psychic Investigators an an
paratus which may help them in their
work, just as optical experts have given
the microscope to the medical world.
And if this apparatus fails to reveal
anything of exceptional interest, | am
afraid that | shall have lost all faith in
the survival of personality as we know
it in this existence
Bodies Composed of Entities
81 believe our bodies are composed Of
myriads and myriads of ininitesimal
entities, each in itself unit of life,
which band together to build a man
We have taken it for granted that each
OF us is a unit. We think Of a cat, an
elephant horse, a fish and so on as
units. am convinced that such think
ing is basically wrong. All these things
appear to be units only for the reason
that the life entities of which I speak
are far too small to be detected even
with the ultra microscope
ihe entities live forever. You can
not destroy them, just the same as you
cannot destroy matter You can change
the form of matter; but of gold IRON,
sulphur, oxygen and so on there was
the same quantity in existence in the
beginning OF this world as there is to-
day. We are simply working the same
supply over and over again True, we
change the combinations OF these clc-
McntS, but we nave not changed the
relative quantities Of each Of the ele-
ments with which we started SO with
the life entities, We cannot destroy
them. They are being used over and
over again in different forms, to be
sure, but they are always Tie same en-
titles.
Entities Directed by Broca
"Now we come to the matter of per
sonaity. The reason why you are Les
carboura and ! am Edison is because
We have different swarms or groups,
or whatever you wish to call them, Of
entities. After eighty-two remarkable
surgical operations the medical world
has conclusively proved that the scat OF
our personality is i'm that part of the
brain known as the fold Of Broca. Now
it is reasonable to suppose that he
directing entities are located in that
Part of our bodies. These entities, as
a closely knit ensemble, Give us our
mental impressions and our person
alty.
Il have already said that what we
call death is simply the departure Of
the entities from our body. The whole
