Clairvoyance
What is known to psychic researchers as "the Hannah Green case" is of this
character. This story, briefly, is that Hannah Green, a housekeeper of
Oxfordshire, dreamt that she, having been left alone in the house of a
Sunday evening, heard a knock at the door. Opening the door she found a
tramp who tried to force his way into the house. She struggled to prevent
his entrance, but he struck her with a bludgeon and rendered her
insensible, whereupon he entered the house and robbed it. She related the
vision to her friends, but, as nothing happened for some time, the matter
almost passed from her mind. But, some seven years afterward, she was left
in charge of the house on a certain Sunday evening; during the evening she
was startled by a sudden knock at the door, and her former vision was
recalled to her memory quite vividly. She refused to go to the door,
remembering the warning, but instead went up to a landing on the stair and
looked out the window, she saw at the door the very tramp whom she had
seen in the vision some seven years before, armed with a bludgeon and
striving to force an entrance into the house. She took steps to frighten
away the rascal, and she was saved from the unpleasant conclusion of her
vision. Many similar cases are recorded.
In some cases persons have been warned by symbols of various kinds; or
else have had prevision in the same way. For instance, many cases are
known in which the vision is that of the undertaker's wagon standing
before the door of the person who dies sometime afterward. Or, the person
is visioned clad in a shroud. The variations of this class are
innumerable. Speak to the average dweller in the highlands of Scotland, or
certain counties in Ireland, regarding this--you will be furnished with a
wealth of illustrations and examples.
This phase of the general subject of clairvoyance is very fascinating to
the student and investigator, and is one in which the highest psychic or
astral powers of sensing are called into play. In fact, as I have said,
there is here a reflection of something very much higher than the astral
or psychic planes of being. The student catches a glimpse of regions
infinitely higher and grander. He begins to realize at least something of
the existence of that Universal Consciousness "in which we live, and move,
and have our being;" and of the reality of the Eternal Now, in which past,
present and future are blended as one fact of infinite consciousness. He
sees the signboard pointing to marvelous truths!
