This Is A New Release Of The Original 1903 Edition.
The main purpose of our existence on earth-aside from the sacred
and paramount duty of securing our salvation-is undoubtedly to make
ourselves masters of the tangible world around us, as it stands
revealed to our senses, and as it was expressly made subject to our
will by the Creator. We are, however, at the same time, not left
without information about the existence of certain laws and the
occurrence of certain phenomena, which belong to a world not
accessible to us by means of our ordinary senses, and which yet
affect seriously our intercourse with Nature and our personal
welfare. This knowledge we obtain sometimes, by special favor, as
direct revelation, and at other times, for reasons as yet unknown,
at the expense of our health and much suffering. By whatever means
it may reach us, it cannot be rejected; to treat it with ridicule
or to decline examining it, would be as unwise as unprofitable. The
least that we can do is to ascertain the precise nature of these
laws, and, after stripping these phenomena of all that can be
proved to be merely incidental or delusive, to compare them with
each other, and to arrange them carefully according to some
standard of classification. The main interest in such a task lies
in the discovery of the grain of truth which is often found
concealed in a mass of rubbish, and which, when thus brought to
light, serves to enlarge our knowledge and to increase our power.
The difficulty lies in the absence of all scientific investigation,
and in the innate tendency of man to give way, wantonly or
unconsciously, to mental as well as to sensual delusion.
