plane in the terms of the physical. I may illustrate the matter, in a
general way, by saying that is something like your astral self actually
extending itself out until it touches the astral self of the other person,
and thus actually "feels" the astral activities there, instead of it being
a case of something like waves travelling along space between brain and
brain. Do you get this clearly? This is about as near to it as I can
explain it to you at this place. Telepathy is simply a matter of the
transmission and receiving of waves of vibratory force which have
travelled along the ether between two persons. But clairvoyance or
astral-telepathy is something like your mind being extended out until it
actually touches the mind of the other person and sees what is there.

I shall have much to say regarding the working out of the processes of
clairvoyance, as we proceed. I have merely given the above explanation for
the purpose of distinguishing between ordinary telepathy and clairvoyance,
so as to prevent you from falling into a common error. Now let us consider
the phenomena of ordinary telepathy--this is very wonderful in itself,
although it is on a lower plane of activity than its astral or clairvoyant
counterpart.




LESSON III.

TELEPATHY EXPLAINED.


Telepathy, meaning Thought-Transference, bears a misleading title.
Literally translated, it means "suffering at a distance," or, perhaps,
