Sinclair, Mary Craig, 1883-1961; Sinclair, Upton, 1878-1968; Telepathy; Telepathy -- Case studies
I knew he would never consent to the telepathy experiment if he
suspected it; he would not want me reading his secret thoughts. But he
had played some tricks on me, so I felt justified. And so, when he
concentrated on the task of putting me into a hypnotic sleep, I
concentrated on “seeing” his thoughts. Again and again I succeeded in
this experiment. I discovered his sorrows, his sins, his hopes, his
daily adventures. And I recorded them and faced him with them and became
his “Mother Confessor,”—and most generously rewarded his unintentional
confidence. I am sure he will agree that I made a full return to him for
the knowledge he inadvertently enabled me to obtain—the knowledge of the
interaction of minds. * * *
