About This Book

The author defines clairvoyance as clear-seeing and maps a wide range of phenomena and degrees of accuracy, distinguishing full and partial sight, intentional and unintentional perception across space, and apparent vision of past and future. He examines causes and conditions—trained development versus spontaneous or pathological occurrences, mesmeric trance, and openings produced by drugs or ceremonial practice—and illustrates these types from observation. The work offers practical guidance for developing the faculty, warns against reliance on intoxicants and magical rites, and urges careful experiment, discriminating judgment, and ethical aims in the cultivation and application of extra-sensory perception.
