The mystery of space : $b a study of the hyperspace movement in the light of the evolution of new psychic faculties and an inquiry into the genesis and essential nature of space
Browne, Robert T.
Hyperspace
In view of the foregoing, it is believed that the general results of
this pituitarial awakening which may be expected as humanity continues
to evolve should be seen in the marked effects which will be wrought
in the entire metabolistic area of the human body whereby a gradual
intensification and sensitization of the whole neural mechanism
will raise the peculiar efficiency of all the senses whether purely
physiologic or psychic. For there are undoubtedly notes so delicate in
their intensity that they transcend the grasp of the audital nerves;
scents and fragrances so subtle in their excelling purity that it is
beyond the powers of our present olfactorial contrivances to detect
them; colors and other external stimuli so sublimely supersensuous that
a nervous mechanism perhaps ten-fold more delicate and responsive than
ours is required to apprehend them. All these, and more than at present
is conceivable, will come, with the aid of pituitarial stimulation,
within the purview of a more highly developed humanity of the future.
And because mathematics have led a movement into the very camp of
the intellectuals--logic-bound and tethered by the severest rigors
of mathesis--whereby the intolerant intellect has been compelled,
by rules of its own making, to recognize the existence of the
supersensuous, and by looking into the glaring light of the sun of the
intuitable to gain strength of vision and boldness to press forward,
a great and far-reaching service has been wrought for humanity. And
in the tower of hyperspace mathematics have erected a monument to the
intellect which, as long as the human race remains, will mark the great
turning point in man's path to the highest life.
What if it were possible that the scientist, when he had carried
instruments to their utmost precision and penetration, should suddenly,
or otherwise, be endowed with a clear-perceptivity of sight, hearing
and smell, so that he could with his own powers of vision, feeling and
hearing take up the task where the microscope, the microphone and the
micrometer left off and delve into depths far too unfathomable for his
appliances, perceiving the innermost realities of things and processes?
What if it were possible for him, with these added powers, to see and
examine without the aid of the magnifying lens the electron, the atom
and the molecule? What if the cell, the bacterium, and other invisible
forms of life would then deliver up their secrets to his knowing mind?
What if he could sense with his own inner vision, the ultra-violet and
the infra-red rays; what indeed, if spirit itself, the innermost sheath
of life, should be visible and palpable to him and he could note the
internal processes, the action and movements of the infinitesimals
of life? Think you not that such direct contact, such immediate and
incontrovertible knowledge would be far superior to any advantage which
his manufactured devices now bestow? It is even so.
