Practical Mind-Reading: A Course of Lessons on Thought-Transference, Telepathy, Mental-Currents, Mental Rapport, &c.
Atkinson, William Walker
Telepathy -- Handbooks, manuals, etc.
In order to develop the ability to produce the Higher Phenomena, the
best course is for the student to frequently practice the demonstration
and experiments of Contact Mind Reading, as this will develop the
receptive faculties of the mind. Then the student may occasionally
practice with a few sympathetic and harmonious friends, endeavoring to
reproduce the demonstrations without physical contact.
EXERCISES FOR DEVELOPMENT.
He may also try the experiment of having a friend hold a certain number
of small buttons, etc., in his hand, and endeavor to _will_ that the
student shall "guess" the right number. Some people attain a surprising
proficiency in this work, almost from the first. A similar experiment
with the pack of cards, the student endeavoring to "guess" the card
drawn from the pack, naming color, suit, and number in turn, may afford
successful results. A number of these experiments may be thought of by
an ingenious person, remembering always that the "guess" is not a guess
at all, but an attempt to register the mental impression of the
Transmitter.
REPRODUCING THE SPERRY FEATS.
The student may with great profit endeavor to reproduce the experiments
of the Sperry children related in Lesson II of this work, in our account
of the experiments of the Society for Psychical Research.
THE WILLING GAME.
The well-known "Willing Game" will afford you an opportunity to develop
this faculty of "wireless" Mind Reading. Your audience is seated in the
room, and you enter blindfolded. An object has been previously selected.
You stand in the centre of the room, and the audience wills "to the
right"; then "forward"; then "a little lower down," etc., etc., etc.,
until the object is found, just as was the case when the Transmitter
sends the impressions. The audience should Will _only one step at a
time_, and you should take that one step without thought of the
succeeding ones. The mind should be held as receptive as possible, that
is "open" to vibrations. Take your time, and do not let hurry or anxiety
enter your mind. It will be well to practice this experiment with
members of your family, or with harmonious and sympathetic friends.
