Telepathy -- Handbooks, manuals, etc.
DEMONSTRATION II. Have the audience select a person, one of their
number. Find the general location of the person. Then standing still,
reach out your right hand, and begin "feeling about." You will find that
as your hand moves away from the right person you will feel a _drawing
back_ impression, whereas when you reach toward the person you will
receive an _urging forward_ impression. A little practice will soon
enable you to distinguish these mental impressions. Then place your hand
on the person who seems to be the centre of the impressions. If this is
the wrong person, you will receive a mental impression of "_Wrong_"; in
which case you must start up the moving your hand to and fro, and
around, until you feel the urge impression, when you should place your
hand on the person immediately in front of you. When you reach the
right person, you will receive an unmistakable impression and mental
message of "All Right," followed by a lessening of the Will tension, and
you will know that you have succeeded. You should practice this in
private before attempting public demonstration.
FINDING A SMALL OBJECT.
DEMONSTRATION III. Have the audience select some small object in plain
sight in the room. Then find it in the manner described of above in the
case of the selected person. The rule is identically the same. But there
are some other details to be observed, in the matter of "up or down,"
for the object may be higher than your shoulder or lower, in which case
you will have to either reach up or down. In this reaching up or down,
follow the same general rule as given. When you reach the right
location, you will feel an impression of "not yet finished" from the
mind of the Transmitter. Then reach up slowly. If this is right you will
receive a corresponding impression, and may go on to centre the object.
But if it is not right, you will receive a mental urge _downward_, which
you should follow. The rule always is to _follow the line of the least
mental resistance_. You will always receive the resistance when you are
not succeeding, and will always receive the lack of resistance when you
are succeeding. Learn to focus these impressions until they centre
positively and constantly on the same spot--_then you have succeeded_,
for there will be your object right under your hand.
FINDING A BOOK.
DEMONSTRATION IV. Have the audience select a book on the shelves of a
book case, and then find it in the manner just related. The two feats
are precisely the same, although the latter will appear more startling
to the observer.
