Man is forever searching for a solution of life's mysteries. Psychic phenomena is the pivot around which great controversies are raging. It has always been interwoven with religion and theologians have for ages exercised a monopoly on things called mysterious and supernatural. This book contains specific instructions for developing thought-transference, psychometry, mind-reading, automatic writing, mental broadcasting and other psychic phenomena.

The importance of psychic phenomena and its intense interest lie in the fact that psychical research hints at a possible solution, by means of the same methods which science has been accustomed to use in the physical world, of the great problem of man's future destiny, of an answer to the question asked by Job thousands of years ago, "If a man die, shall he live again?" and which has been repeated in vain by every generation of men who have since inhabited the earth. Prof. Flournoy approaches the problems of the psychic world in regard to the strange phenomena manifested by Mlle. Helene Smith. No fact has been regarded by him as too trivial to escape his keen, careful scrutiny from a psychological point of view.

The Author's purpose of this book is to tell what he and others, under careful test conditions, have seen and heard in regard to psychic phenomena; many of the others are well equipped, trained observers. Funk is not attempting to discover anything; but is attempting to state clearly a problem and to urge others, better qualified, to the discovery of its solution. He did not pass upon the facts presented in this volume or attempt an explanation, but he wishes to urge as forcefully upon the scientific mind of the world what to him is a profound riddle.

Clairvoyance is the art and power of knowing or cognizing facts, things and principles, by methods totally distinct from those usually pursued in their attainment.

Edgar Cayce, America's "sleeping prophet," was one of the most active and trusted psychics of the 20th century. Thousands of people relied on him for insights into their physical and emotional health, spiritual questions, business prospects, and dreams. His writings still inform us today. Cayce's readings were stunningly accurate -- about 85 percent of them hit the mark. But some cases seemed to be beyond his abilities. Why did his powers fail him at times -- if they in fact did? In "The Outer Limits of Edgar Cayce's Power," his sons, Edgar Evans Cayce and Hugh Lynn Cayce, investigate the questions that challenged the prophet's seemingly unlimited psychic abilities.

A scientific demonstration of its existence and the laws and methods of its operation, including a complete course of lessons in the study and practice of thought transference in individual lives. This volume is not experimental. Faithful students have tested the methods prescribed for a better understanding of a faculty which was receiving its first scientific recognition at the hands of careful and conscientious investigators fifteen years earlier. The aim of the author is to rescue a noble theme from the hands of charlatans and pretenders who have played upon the superstition of the public and have taken advantage of the mystery that seems to surround the subconscious operation of the mind.

The author gives an account of many of his investigations into matters connected with psychical research during the last quarter of a century, with an abridgment of contemporary records. The author's conviction of man's survival of bodily death-a conviction based on a large range of natural facts-is well known; and in this volume some idea can be gained as to the most direct and immediate kind of foundation on which in the future he considers that this belief will in due course be scientifically established. The book is divided into four sections entitled: aims and objects of psychical research; experimental telepathy or thought transference; spontaneous telepathy and clairvoyance; and automatism and lucidity.

This book embodies the first attempt to appraise on a large scale writings hostile to psychic research. It seeks to deal fairly with persons who, through the course of more than a century, have expressed their disbelief in any facts "psychic" or "supernormal," according to the understood meaning of these terms. It proposes to ascertain with what degree of knowledge these persons are equipped to deal with the subject, to see whether the logic they employ is such as is employed in other types of investigation or is of a sort deemed good enough only for this, and generally to analyze and set forth their polemical methodology. All of these persons are respectable, and some of them illustrious, representatives of the classes to which they belong, physical scientists, psychologists, university and college instructors, physicians, clergymen, magicians and what-not. There are more than one hundred of these to be heard in this book.

This volume contains the results of Fukurai's elaborate studies in clairvoyance and thoughtography since 1910. As a Japanese scholar, his initial reports were received with great disdain, forcing Fukurai to resign his position as a professor at the Imperial University of Tokyo. He hopes this work will make a small contribution towards the progress of psychical science. Contains 119 illustrations.

Skeptical in analysis, tireless in research, scrupulous in statement, fearless in pursuit of truth, and unmoved by the misrepresentation that pursues discoverers of vital facts, Dr. Geley's purpose in this book was to substantiate the data by the records of experimental work done by the able men who have undertaken the laborious and ungrateful task of experiment on the supernormal facts at the International Metaphysic Institute. The primary fact in subjective metaphysics is clairvoyance, and, in objective metaphysics, ectoplasm and its modifications. This work deals with each methodically and in succession as they were observed; but in the first place it is set before readers fresh to these studies the elementary principles and essential conditions of experimentation with mediums. Illustrated.
