existence dealing with telepathy and allied psy-
chic phenomena and it is constantly growing.
One Of the best known American authors is the
late Thomas Jay Hudson. In his first book, THE
Law of Psychic Phenomena" he reiterated a
centuries-old belief that man has two minds, or
that the mind is dual. One is our conscious mind
and the other is the sub-conscious-the sub
jective mind, Dr. Hudson called it.
Among the attributes noticed in the SUBJ
conscious mind by DR.. Hudson was telepathy.
This he defined as "the means of communication
between subjective (sub-consdous) minds"
In another book, "The Divine Pedigree of
Man, DR.. Hudson anticipated in substance the
claims for telepathy made by DR.. Stanton. He
says, "Since man traces his ancestry back to the
divine mind, and since man was made in the
image of God, the faculty which we are consider
ing must exist, potentially at least, in the divine
mind.
"The stupendous consequences which this
conclusion involves cannot be adequately consid-
cred in this connection. 1t is obvious, however.
that here is the means by which man may reach
the mind of God through prayer. Here is the
means by which God may reach the souls of men
who choose to open the line of communication by
placing themselves in the proper mental attitude.
Here is the agency of divine inspiration"
This subject is treated fully in another bool,
by the same author "a Scientific Demonstration
of the Future Life" In his first book, THE Law
of Psychic Phenomena he analysed clairvoy-
ance, mentioned by DR.. Stanton, and doubted
the so-called proofs of it's existence. Camille
Flammarion, the eminent French astronomer,
however, in his recent book, Death and It's
Mystery" takes the opposite view and presents
detailed evidence that satisfies him of the actu-
atty Of clairvoyance.
The whole subject is interesting. People of
an inquiring turn of mind, those who desire a
we'll rounded knowledge of the different phenon1-
ena of life that have passed and still passing
under the eyes of scientific investigators, will
find DR.. Hudson's books particularly interesting
and instructive.
