OUR PURPOSE in giving to our readers articles telling of psychic faculties and experiences is because we know there are many who read who are more or less psychic without knowing it, and therefore without knowing just what they are “seeing,” “hearing,” “feeling” or “sensing,” they often deeming such things pure imagination.

And to a certain extent all such are imagination, but of a different nature from what is commonly supposed. The image-making faculty of the human mind is a natural one, and whenever vibrations from unseen things are felt, the mind naturally and automatically builds thought-pictures of what it assumes is their cause. This is imagination. But no one ever imagined anything that did not exist, and it was the vibrations of that thing that caused the mind thus to image it in its consciousness. In other words, everyone is more or less psychic or sensitive.

We have explained in other articles the difference between mental and emotional sensitives, how the mental type deems their response to such vibrations pure imagination, while the emotional type seem to build into their thought-pictures sufficient life force to vitalize them so that they seem to be real, and therefore they are to them a clearer outpicturing or representation of the cause of the vibrations than to the mental type.

What we are trying to show is that the emotional psychic nature is as natural a state of the soul expression as is the mental nature, and therefore it is necessary that every type of be carefully explained so that it may be wisely understood by those of an emotional nature, and not be deemed something it is not. Likewise that those of a mental nature can also know it for just what it is.

Our author gives a very sane and clear explanation of the psychic faculties, of their possibilities and limitations. She shows the difficulty and necessity of correctly interpreting the meaning of what is “seen,” “heard” and “sensed.” Misinterpretation is the cause of all the delusions emanating from the psychic or unseen realms of consciousness.

There is no question that there are wise and kindly guides and helpers in the invisible realms, as well as mischievous and selfish deceivers, even as in the outer physical world; which makes it vitally important that those open to influences from such realms be made aware of just what they are receiving—that it is neither pure imagination, nor is it as real and true as it appears and as they interpret it.—THE EDITOR.
