The Problems of Psychical Research Experiments and Theories in the Realm of the Supernormal (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Problems of Psychical Research Experiments and Theories in the Realm of the Supernormal
In the following pages I have dealt chiefly with the mental or psychological phenomena of psychical research, and have not touched upon the "physical" manifestations to any extent. The book is mostly theoretical and constructive in tone; and, because of its speculative character, it may, perhaps, prove of value to future psychical investigators. It represents the authors conclusions after several years' experimentation; and, in a field so new as this, scientific hypotheses and speculations are assuredly helpful - indicating the road we must travel, and the possible interpretation of certain facts, which have been accumulated in the past, as the result of years of laborious research. I believe that practically all the phenomena of spiritualism are true; that is, that they have occurred in a genuine manner from time to time in the past; that they are supernormal in character, and are genuine phenomenal occurrences. But as to the further question: "What is the nature of the intelligence lying behind and controlling these phenomena?" - that, I think, is as yet unsolved, and is likely to remain so for some time to come. I do not believe that the simple spiritistic explanation - especially as at present held - is the correct one, nor one that explains all the facts; for I believe that the phenomena are more complicated than this.
