Présentation de l'éditeur

Those who are not interested in what savours of the metaphysical may, I think, pass over the first and still find the second and third intelligible. The attempt herein made is to prove that we have human experience of our existence as (relatively) spiritual selves. That we have such human experience has been already suggested by many, and evidence, to that end, adduced. But I do not know of any systematic treatise the sole object of which has been to prove, by the evidence of human experience exclusively, that we exist as spiritual selves. It is possible that only in the comparatively present time we have, through the evolution of human knowledge, been given command of the evidence necessary to prove the fact. The new factor in reasoning introduced is telepathy :I assume that, as human personalities, we are so related to the external that we have human experience of it otherwise than through the normal organs of sense. The assumption, it must be admitted, is dogmatic ;at the same time it is to be borne in mind that a large and increasing number of men of science accept telepathy as a fact of human experience.1 In psychology, treated as a science, an assumption is made of the existence of an ego in relation to the series of conditions in which we exist; that is in relation to our universe of relations. Psychology is not called on to transcend the relation of subject to object or, as we may call it, the fact of presentation (J ames Ward). I take but one step beyond the psychologist: I make the human personality (the subject or psychological I )a partial and mediate manifestation in our universe of a spiritual self.2 I term this spiritual self an intuitive self. 1C ertain marked men of science hold that to explain Darwin sscheme the fundamental factor conation (having part in evolution from the very first) must be introduced. They refer the origin of evolution
