Telepathy Scientifically Demonstrated

Telepathy Scientifically Demonstrated.

A wonderful age, this, in which to live ! But there are greater marvels than any of these revelations in store. "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man to conceive" the glories and wonders that are yet to be revealed. The Scientific demonstration and acceptance of the fact of telepathy page 10 is a step in the direction to which I refer—the revelations of what Professor Zöllner, the eminent German Scientist, calls Transcendental Physics, which seem destined to conclusively prove the continuity of existence and the immortality of the soul.

Mr. W. T. Stead, the brilliant journalist and social reformer, and the confidant of Emperors and Kings, has told us over and over again that he is in daily communication with friends at a distance to whom he sends telepathic messages, and receives answers by the same mysterious channel, upon which he acts as though he had actually been in conversation with the party with whom he has thus been invisibly connected. "I find this a great convenience," he says, "for it saves a lot of personal interviewing, and consequently a lot of time."

Here, then, we have two minds communicating with each other, and Sir William Crookes tells us that if he were to-day beginning his investigations in the Transcendental realm he would base his researches upon this supreme and proved mental fact of telepathy, because, if two minds, whilst still in the flesh, can communicate with each other, he sees no reason why two minds—one in the flesh and the other out of the flesh—should not be able to do the same.

The transference of thought, then, from one mind to another, is to-day accepted by official Science, and this has naturally led to an investigation of the nature of thought, with the result that thoughts are now described—not as mere "nothings," but as palpable, though invisible, "things " which shoot forth from the mind like the electrons which dart from a piece of radium, and go careering through space until they strike some receptive mind with which they have an affinity, and the individual is correspondingly influenced thereby. If the thought is evil it will influence him for evil. If it is good it will influence him for good, There is no more impressive statement in the whole of this work than that which I have just presented. Only think of it ! Thoughts are things, and your thoughts and my thoughts, by the influence they exert, may possibly determine the ultimate destiny of immortal souls !
