Crystal gazing
"'Where?'
"'Here--look! Look here!' indicating spots not visible to any one
else. 'Take me away,' she shuddered, but before her frightened
exclamation could be obeyed her body suddenly stiffened.' He is
there!' she said, with a pitiful horror in her tone, but with her face
expressionless and her eyes still white.
"'What do you see?'
"'The ghost.'
"Then the party returned, shaken in mind and surfeited with
horrors."
Examples of a similar nature might be multiplied indefinitely, and
would but serve to show what has already been stated as a matter
of personal experience among all those in whom the psychic
faculties have attained any degree of development, viz., that the
_rapport_ existing between the human soul and the world of
subjective consciousness is capable of being actively induced by
recourse to appropriate means, or cultivated, where it exists to any
degree, by means of the crystal and other accessories, such as the
metal disc used in China, or the Shiva-lingam stones used in India.
The following example of the psychic sense of feeling will serve
to show that all the senses, not that of vision alone, are capable of
development under suitable conditions. A contributor to the
_Westminster Budget_, in December, 1893, sends the following
account of the use of the divining rod for the purpose of
spring-finding:
"A few weeks ago took place some operations with the divining
rod by Mr. Stears, of Hull, who was called to Mr. S. Campion's
farm at East Heslerton, near Malton, to search for a water supply.
At that time he marked two places near the farmhouse where, he
said, the presence of water was indicated by the rod. Since then
Mr. E. Halliday, plumber of Malton, has bored an artesian well at
one of the places indicated, and found a very copious supply of
water at a depth of 87 feet, after going through sand, clay, and a
bed of what Mr. Halliday says is quartz and lead ore. Mr.
Campion, who was previously without a supply of pure water, is
delighted with the results of the visit of the 'diviner,' and has faith
in his power with the rod. Mr. Stears has since been called in to
experiment on several farms on the Birdsall estate of Lord
Middleton, the operations being conducted in the presence of
Julia, Lady Middleton, the Hon. Geoffrey and Mrs. Dawnay, Mr.
Persons (Lord Middleton's agent), and others. Other farms were
visited, and Mr. Stears, after employing the rod, indicated the
presence of water at each. Mr. Halliday has also received
instructions to make tests at these places, and operations are now
in progress. Mr. Stears has successfully 'divined' for water on two
of Mr. Lett's farms in the East Riding, and also at Amotherby, near
Malton; and his success is drawing fresh attention to the 'divining
rod' and its capabilities in the hands of a duly 'inspired' professor.
Mr. Stears claims that he can also discover metals as well as water,
and he alleges that not one person in 10,000 can use the rod
successfully.
