The operator will slowly eat or taste half-a-dozen lozenges or sweets
of different flavours, and the subject or sensitive most in sympathy
with him will also in imagination eat of and describe the taste of the
various sweets, concerning which he has no other knowledge than the
thoughts of eating and tasting, which are transmitted to him from the
brain of the operator. The mere eating of the lozenges by the operator,
without his being fully aware of the fact, will deepen the impression
on the operator’s mind, and help to concentrate his energies for the
transmission of his ideas or mental suggestions to his subject.
A step or two further and we find with greater sensitiveness the
sensitives can read the thoughts of the operator, whether the thoughts
were transmitted intentionally or not.
“We are compelled (says Dr. Hands) to acknowledge that certain
emanating undulations from the sensorium can generate different series
of thoughts, and that the trembling organisation, or parts of it, can,
by flinging or throwing off distinct or particular pulsatory waves,
inoculate or produce like vibrations in another person’s brain, making
up in it identical thoughts, followed by like feelings, and often
in this way, perhaps, capable of inciting, _through sympathy_, like
enactments of deeds and pursuits.”
