My next technique in the s e r ie s is an e x c e ll
ent one also. In it, the subject is again com
pletely controlled by the hypnotist. This is how
it is done. An h ou r-glass is placed before the
subject, who is seated at a table. He is instruc
ted to watch the sand in the h ou r-glass as it
fa lls fro m the upper part of the glass to the
low er compartment. It is further suggested to
him that as he concentrates on the slow d rop
ping of the sand, he w ill eventually go into deep
sleep. To achieve this, however, he must con
tinue to turn the glass downside up after all
the sand has been emptied into the low er part
o f the receptacle fro m the upper. This contin
uous p ro ce s s goes on under a condition of the
greatest concentration on the movement of the
sand, accom panied by the soft suggestions of
the hypnotist that the subject s eyes are b ecom
ing very heavy and tired, due to the wearing
strain of watching the slow passage of the
falling sand fo r so long a period of tim e. A s he
continues to gaze at the slow m agic of the fa ll
ing grains of sand, the suggestions of the hyp
notist begin to take its inevitable effect. The
subject soon drops into a state of hypnotic
sleep under the expert guidance of the a cco m
plished hypnotist. This technique is one of my
m ost favored ones. It has a rom ance and beauty
that few other techniques achieve.
And now to another exciting technique fo r
the profession al or amateur hypnotist. Draw a

the transm ission. The im portance of the sie e p o -m a tic u n it" is to be found in the fact that it
can be used during the hours o f sleep when other
m edia are not available and also when the sub
con sciou s mind can be reached m ore directly,
sin ce the b a rrie rs of the con sciou s state rest
quiescently at this tim e and are, th erefore, no
obstruction to the subconscious mind.
The subconscious mind is the sou rce of our
p sy ch ic power. It is also the rep ository of all
the rep ressed em otions which cause so much
unhappiness to those who are assailed by them.
The s le e p -o -m a tic units, through the medium
o f record in gs, o r through tape transm itted su g-'
gestions, can reach the subconscious mind and
re le a se that psych ic energy that is so n ecessary
to the health and w elfare of all person s, and
through this liberation makes a new, vigorous
and dynamic personality out of a once retarded
and impotent individual. This is all accom plished
without the subject s conscious awareness of the
operation.
There are many persons who have emotional
p rdblem s, who have neither the tim e nor the
d esire to go to a therapist. These are the individ
uals who would be greatly advantaged by the
p ossession of one of these units because they
could use it in the privacy of their own hom es,
and at any tim e they choose without being exposed
to what may seem to them the em barrassing view
o f others. F or those who feel as these persons dfe^
this unit would be an invaluable p ossession ; nI

I let the point go fo r the tim e being. I couldn't
fo r c e her to tell me and quite p ossibly she was
telling the truth. The incident might have been so
repellent to her that she had walled it up in her
m em ory, out of reach of her conscious mind.
We went on. She told me of other sex exper
ien ces at college. The pattern was sim ila r each
tim e. She would date a boy, causing him to fall
in love with her, and after a few months of in
tensive courting she would let him sleep with her.
Invariably, the act would bring her no pleasure,
only guilt and se lf-re p ro a ch , and she would r e
fu se any further date with the boy after that.
How many tim es did you do t h is ? " I asked.
Oh, maybe a dozen. Three or four tim es a
year, all through c o lle g e ."
You slept with a dozen different boys and
didn t enjoy any of it, rig h t?"
That s rig h t."
And each tim e you gave the boy a good stiff
jolt in the ego. Just when he was really wild about
you, you broke off with him. Always punishing the

I guess s o ," she admitted with a faint sm ile.
A fter leaving college she had worked fo r a
publishing house fo r about a year, having a few

love affairs. She began to feel that the real reason
fo r her frigidity was the ille g a l" nature of the
sex acts, and she cherished the hope that once

It s nighttime now, I said gently. The

He s downstairs. I can see him through the
window. He s got his father s car. It s parked in
fron t of our house. It s big and shiny, and he s
tall and handsome. He rings the bell. I m all
keyed up. This is my big night.
Where is he taking you?
To a dance at the high sch ool gym. E very
body se e s us there. They re all envying me. I m
a little w orried . Am I dancing w ell enough? He s
such a good dancer. Why did he ask me out?
What is there that s special about m e?
Now the dance is o v e r , I said. You re
leaving with him. Where do you go? What hap
p en s?
I we She hesitated. We get into his
ca r and drive away. I think he staking me home.
But
Go on. Don t hold anything back .
W e re parking. At the edge of town. He
grin s at me. I know what he wants. He wants to
neck a little. I ve done that with other boys but
n e v e r on the fir s t day. Only J e rry is different.
I want him to like me. I want him to ask me out
again. I don t want him to think I m cold o r stuffy
o r anything like that. So we park. It s dark. He
puts his arm around me. Now now he s touch
ing the front of my blouse. I giggle. I'm nervous.
I ve never let a boy touch me there b e fo r e .
She was trem bling now, visibly on the edge of
panic. Go on , I urged. T ell me what he s
64
doing to you.
H e's unbuttoning my blouse. Putting his
hands inside. I say, 'N o , J erry, don t do that.
But he just sm iles. He unhooks my bra. I try to
push his hands away but he says, 'What s the
m atter, you a fra id y -c a t? So I let him. He s got
his hands on my breasts now. Cupping them.
Playing with the nipples. The nipples are getting
very stiff. They hurt. I fe e l alm ost giddy. This is
what my parents warned me against. Never let a
boy touch you. N ever let a boy see you naked.
And he s touching me under my blouse. Holding
my breasts.
I keep saying 'No, no, J erry , it isn t right.
And he tells me how pretty my breasts are. I m
w ell developed. He says I could pose fo r pin-up
pictu res. He s got my blouse all the way open
now. And and now he s trying to put his hand
under my d re ss. I say, 'N o, J erry , nothing below
the b elt. And he laughs. He s so confident he ll
get everything he wants out of me. He he I
can t tell you
You must. T ell me everything.
His hands are inside my panties now. He s
touching me all over. I try to pull his hands
away. He says, 'R elax, it s fun. That s why God
made two different sexes. Just relax and I ll
show you a good tim e, kiddo. Now now he s

panicky. I try to push him away. My panties rip.

In G eorge s case,
the im p ression was, My father is hurting
my m other. I hate him and love her.
But Joanne s feeling was entirely different.
What d oes the scene tell you ? I asked.
It tells m e she hesitated.
It tells
m e that sex is pleasurable, that men enjoy
it, that the way to make a man happy is tc
give him sex.
That men w ill love you if
you let them do it to you.
Is that a ll? I asked.
Y es. That s a ll.
It isn t.

I insisted.
She was silent a moment.
T ell me what you fe e l inside, as you
think of your father on top of your m other.
I thinkI thinkoh, God!
I m thinking
that I want him doing it to me, because then
I l l be the one giving him p leasure, not my

I want him to love me, and this
is the best way to make him .love m e!
When I brought her out of the trance, she
was pale and shaken by the im pact of the
revelation of her incestuous d e sire s.
I had
to soothe her and let her rest a while b efore
she could leave my office.
During the next few weeks, we m oved at
a deliberately slow pace, digesting the im p or
tance of the single revelation that she desired
her father sexually. When I thought that we
had thoroughly covered that point, we began
to search fo r other hidden incidents.

Historical Cases
C ases of telepathy and clairvoyance have
been reported fro m every country, and at every
age of the w orld s history. These w ere not of
co u rse instances of actual experim ent, but w ere
s o -c a lle d spontaneous c a s e s that is, ca ses
which occu rred in the lives of everyday people,
and which w ere reported by them.
Both the Old and New Testam ents are full
o f such ca ses, and many of the Prophetswhom
many believe to have been p sy ch icstold not
only what was going to happen in the future, but
what was actually happening at the tim e. Christ
is reported to have perceived the thoughts of
those about him .
The o ra cle s of ancient G reece and Rom e
often gave extraordinary information, and
H erodotus has record ed a splendid case in
which the Delphic ora cle in G reece was actually
tested and found to be accurate. Socrates, Joan
o f A r c , Swedenborg, and countless others r e
ported many such incidents in their lives. Kings
and queens have vouched fo r them. If the rank
and file of people during ancient tim es and during
the middle ages had been able to write, and had

g h o st."
What he has rea lly p erceiv ed is a
telepathic hallucination, coinciding with illness
o r death.
That is how telepathy has been utilized to
explain striking phenomena such as these ap
paritions of the liv in g ." If telepathy were not
a fact, we should be totally at a loss fo r any
rational explanation.
P sychic investigators
have also used telepathy as a sort of prim ary
fa ctor to explain other m anifestations.
We
shall com e to this question again a little later on.
Perhaps the reader would like to know m ore
about how telepathy is supposed to work in
these ca ses in ord er to produce such strange
resu lts.
We know that the mind is somehow
/'a s s o c ia t e d with the brain, in its activities, so
that theoretically the brain should be involved
in som e manner with such transm issions also.
Can telepathy and clairvoyance be explained in
terms of functions of the brain?
What we are about to say is purely specula
tive but offers the best explanation which has
so fa r been advanced to account fo r what
happens when a telepathic m essage is sent.
P sych ical re se a rch e rs have always tried to
explain supernorm al phenomena with the least
departure fro m the facts accepted by psychology
and physiology.

Pseudo-Telepathy
There are certain dem onstrations which are
often given and which a re thought to prove
140
mind and body, and use only one term bod ym in d ."
M odern psychotherapythat is , the
mental treatment of d isea seis largely based on
this idea, which indeed fits in very w ell with many
of the phenomena of abnormal psychology. But
o f cou rse the b od y-m in d " dogma om its fro m
consideration altogether psych ic manifestations,
which cannot be so explained. It is all v ery w ell
to form ulate a philosophy which ign ores a whole
body of facts; but if those fa cts exist then a new
scien ce w ill have to be devised which includes
them.
If it could be shown that mind can exist and
function apart fro m a physical brain, then that
brain is not essential to thought and con
sciou sn ess.
And if the mind can exist in a
mental w orld of its own, independent of matter,
then surely there is no reason why it should
not continue to exist and function in the absence
of a physical body altogether. In other w ords,
we should have a solid basis fo r believing in
survival and im m ortality.
This is a tremendous thought! We live in a
skeptical m aterialistic age, and are accustom ed
to believe that anything which we can see and
touch and handle is real, while anything which
we cannot is unreal. Of cou rse the very rev erse
of this is the fact. Anything visible is m erely
appearance, while the reality lies behind.

MEDIUMSHIP
Just as genius is a gift, so is rnediumship.
Mediumship is a p r ice le s s gift to count
le s s m illions of people but its p resen ce is
unknown in m ost cases, because means of dev
elopment and unfoldment have never been uti
lized . This gift reveals itself in a sm all p e r
centage of ca ses only.
Everyone p o sse sse s 'p sy ch ic p ow ers , m ore
o r le s s developed. This is m anifest in 'sen sing
o r 'feelin g' spirit fo r c e s , o r the thought in
fluences of the living. This phase of medium
ship is known as intuition, and the sou rce
of knowledge may be fro m either the spirit w orld,
o r fro m friends among the living. If the in for
mation is fro m discarnate sp irits, the intu
ition can be described as clairaudience or c la ir
voyance. However, if the 'sen sin g' is created
by a living soul, it is m ore com m only known
as 'mental telepathy , which is a very com mon
occurance.
'Hunches is a very good descriptive w ord
hands.
M usical selection s, litera ry efforts,
poetry and oratory, inspired by strong spirit
guides and spiritual genius.

such as raps, table tipping, levitation, contact
with spirit fo r c e s , movement of inanimate ob
je c ts , etc., etc.
It is true m ost mediums p o ss e s s m ore than
one phase of mediumship. H owever, you must
accep t and be contented with the pow ers that are
unfolded.
Be thankful fo r what you receiv e.
A ll sensitives o r p sych ics w ill not make
m edium s.
No one can p redict your su ccess
as a medium.
You must learn fo r you rself
if you p ossess the wonderful gift of mediumship
by seeking it.
Conditions of the Seance
If the power of mediumship lies dormant
within, and you are sin cere in your efforts,
s u cce s s w ill follow . Your sin cerity of effort
w ill be rewarded, and make your goal m ore
easy to attain. I w ill give you instructions that
should be carefu lly heeded in your development.
C lose observance of these rules w ill enable
you to benefit by the experiences and m is
takes o f others that have gone before you.
It is best to seek mediumship in the com
pany of a developed medium, as they are able
to draw the fo r c e s to you, lending strength.
H owever, a developing medium is not essential
to your su ccess.

uminum trumpet,
and it should be placed
near the medium, who should be seated. The
medium enters the trance by placing the mind
in a passive state, and allowing the spiritual
fo r c e s to take command of her body, and v o
ca l cord s, which reproduce the spirit voices
thru the m edium 's mouth, o r thru the trumpet
without em ploying the m edium 's vocal cord s.
In som e ca ses, the trumpet w ill float about
the room , ca rried by spiritual fo r c e s , d eliv
erin g m essages to the spectators.
Som etim es the medium w ill speak d irectly
thru the trumpet, in ord er to gather strength
fro m the fo r c e s . M ost mediums have a guide,
upon which they depend fo r the m ost mani
festations.
The trumpet adds volume to the
w eaker v oices.
M ost mediums have several
guides, tho one is always m ore prominent.
Trumpet seances are usually p erform ed in
a darkened room , and the medium sitting in
a cabinet.
H ere, I speak of fully developed
m ediums.
M aterialization is perhaps the m ost d iffi
cult phase of all mediumship.
It requ ires
great physical strength and faith, and few p o s
s e s s this wonderful gift. Som etim es a figure
w ill appear as in flesh, and may be touched
and ca ressed as w ell as visualized.
Other
tim es they appear as a ghostly form , without
substance.
Some mediums cause their own
physical body to" be p ossessed by the spirit,
and assum e a marked physical resem blance.
H owever, this phase is very ra re, and extrem e
ly dangerous.

these conditions.
L eo people make excellent
physicians and nurses.
P ow ers of mediumship, when present, can
be developed.
Once acquired, one can do a
great deal of good and bring blessin gs to count
le s s people.
The gift of mediumship should
never be prostituted, lest it be lost forev er.
Many mediums lose this gift fo r no apparent
reason after many years of se rv ice .
It is a mistake to try to convince the hardb oiled skeptic of spiritualism .
It is not the
w ishes o f our frien ds in the sp irit w orld that
we accept their challenges, submit to trying
and difficult conditions fo r the m ere sake of
'show ing som eone.
Let us p roceed with our work, with joy
in our hearts, and with knowledge that we are
doing a wonderful work.
Y ears of effort in any field take their toil.
This is also true with mediumship. It is a drain
on the body, and the nervous system . However,
with the right living, we are able to restore
and rebuild our fo r c e s . This is accom plished
by constructive thinkingsatisfaction in knowing
that our work is appreciated, and our reward
w ill be happiness.
Meditation is the great healing power to the
sensitive.
Assum e a quiet state of m in d let the spiritual fo r c e s of your departed frien ds
rejuvenate your exhausted system . A few min
utes a day in meditation w ill reward you t r e

said to be the finest in the country. A rrayed
