Of the many eminent men of Science in both Europe and America who have come to a knowledge of the truths of Spirit existence, continuance of life after transition,--and the writer has known them all personally, except the one she is about to mention,--probably Sir Oliver Lodge has approached the subject of “psychic Research” (Spiritualism) with a mind the _best prepared_ to receive (perceive) Spiritual Truth. I say this with the utmost reverence and admiration for the long list of names--eminent alike in their personal qualities and scientific attainments, whose lives have been made brighter by a knowledge of demonstrated future existence and a belief in the Immortality of the Soul. Shall I name some of them? Hare, Mapes, Denton, Wallace, Crookes, Varley, Zollner, Flammarion--the list is almost endless. Sir Oliver Lodge has not only recently, and very publicly, announced his full belief (knowledge) of continued personal existence beyond the change called death, but the possibility of communion with those “gone before” and the certainty that he had personal evidence beyond cavil or doubt, proofs indubitable, of the presence of and communication with his particular friends, _but_--and this is the point I wish to emphasize--in his earlier utterances on this subject he said in effect: “When I become aware that the human spirit while still animating the body, or not released by death, has _such surpassing powers_, ‘telepathy,’ ‘voluntary action’ _apart from the body_, showing conclusively that the activities of the mind _are not_ dependent upon the physical organism--I concluded there _must_ be evidence to show that the spirit _can_ and does survive the body.” This and much more was in his published statements concerning his investigations in connection with Psychic Research--showing that he approached the subject not only from the “effect to cause” line of usual scientific investigation, but had already in his quickened perception the vivification of a-priori knowledge leading from “_cause to effect_.” One would like to accumulate and set down in condensed manner all the available evidences of “absence from the body”--of which the writer has a large and increasing store, but this writing is more distinctly in the form of a message for this particular time.
