Clairvoyance is clear mental vision. It is a psychological condition of the mind in which the soul has the power to see or understand the thought and psychic conditions and objects beyond the range of physical vision. This soul-sight increases in its lucidity as we retard the physical activities below the normal state.

Clairvoyance is not a common possession. It is a most valuable psychic possession for man. Except a few spiritually cultured noble souls the general populace do not appreciate this psychic power. This mysterious power is not the sole possession of a gifted few, but all are endowed with the faculty. It lies latent in all. It only rests with them to develop it. This spiritual faculty of man can be cultivated just as any other faculty. In some, this develops in a very short time, and in others it takes a pretty long time. This depends mainly upon their temperaments and character. The leading scientists of the day have been already convinced about the existence of such a power.

The resultant benefits of this wonderful power are manifold. Humanity can be learnt thoroughly to some extent; the future destiny of one can be made known; all diseases and ailments known to man can be diagnosed and the best remedial advice can be had in connection therewith. It may also be used to find out lost or stolen property and may even be used to ferret out murders, etc. And lastly it is the key to investigate the mysteries of nature and also the divine path of soul perfection.

We teach you here how to develop the spiritual faculty, and if you diligently work at these lessons you will be amply repaid for your time and perseverance. For convenience sake, we divide clairvoyance into three realms.

I. Mediumistic Clairvoyance.

II. Intent Clairvoyance.

III. Psychic Clairvoyance.

Mediumistic clairvoyance is the development of that august power—Clairvoyance—in a sensitive or subject by means of mesmeric passes "at distance."

The Intent and Psychic Clairvoyances offer very favourable conditions in the normal state for the development of this faculty upon yourself. All the three processes mainly lead to the same goal and the methods employed are simply to aid you in subduing the sense activities and thereby offering a favourable condition for the mastery of the psychic powers over the mind as the sub-conscious mind is naturally invested with these powers and many more that have not come to light as yet.

WHOM TO EMPLOY AS SUBJECTS FOR

MEDIUMISTIC CLAIRVOYANCE.

From long practical experience we give you some hints how to find out suitable subjects for the practice of mediumistic clairvoyance. Healthy, intelligent and fair looking persons of either sex, between the ages of 14 and 30, make the best subjects for experiment and research.

HOW TO CULTIVATE MEDIUMISTIC CLAIRVOYANCE.

Select a subject, make him lie down on a couch or sofa in a room void of all disturbance and noise. Absolute silence should reign in the room. The slightest noise or disturbance will cause great danger. Stand by his side, ask him to close his eyes and to relax his body and mind. Make passes at distance, commencing from the crown of the head with the fingers of your hands slightly curved, slowly down over the chin and thence to the region of heart. This should take one minute. Then continue down and make one circular pass over the region of heart for a period of 45 seconds, and thence down to the pit of the stomach; now diverge your hands and make passes down the knees and remain in contact with his knees for a period of 15 seconds by slightly touching them. The movement over the thighs should absorb one minute. Thus the whole pass should take a duration of 3 minutes. It would be absolutely necessary in the beginning to give some ten or twelve passes. During the process, suggestions should on no consideration be used.

After a short time ascertain the nature of sleep of your subject, whether deep or not, by the expression of his face and body. Do not make use of any other means to test his sleep. If you do so, you will spoil the future progress in clairvoyance. If you are sure that he is fast asleep and he is not able to open his eyes or hear you at your first call—"Mr. do you hear me;" make some more calls and he will respond. You can then proceed with the following instructions.

Sit by his side; hold your left hand fingers to his forehead at a distance of an inch and ask in a low positive tone, "Mr. do you hear me. Now I want you to see how many fingers I just hold above your head. Do you see it?" If he answers in the negative, make some quick passes "at distance" from the forehead to his chin, with your right hand and say very positively, "now you can plainly see my fingers; tell me the number." If he is still unable to plainly see your fingers, insist that he can see and suggest that nothing will obstruct his sight, etc. If all your efforts prove futile, request him to suggest any method whereby you can make him see plainly, as the methods vary in persons of different nature as to their characteristics. In 9 cases out of 10 your subject at that state will give you a sure method. Generally, in almost all cases, what we give will produce miracles and crown you with success. This test may be successful on the first day or it may take you some days. Never be in a hurry or never force results in him, give him his own time to succeed. When you are successful with this test, proceed to multiply this at your discretion by various others, such as: Holding pencils over his forehead and asking him to give their correct number; applying a watch to the forehead and asking him to give you the correct time; writing some letters on a card and holding it over his head and thereby asking him to read them correctly; and putting such cards in an envelope and then asking him to read it, etc.

If you have a thorough satisfaction in the genuineness of his answers, ask him to give you a good and clear description of any place or places he has visited in your neighborhood. If it is clear and precise, ask him to describe any place or scene not far off your place you have visited and which he has not. If you are successful with this test then your complete success in this branch of science is assured.

After this it would be better if you ask your subject to read written words and thereon lead him to sentences, verses and poems, etc. This should be done before you enhance the distances of the places you wish him to describe. You will be easily encouraged by your subject to increase the distances of places, of which he will gladly give you vivid and accurate descriptions. In this stage do not be misled but go on insisting him to read the words, etc., referred to above. When he correctly reads manuscripts, printed matter, etc., at close quarters go on increasing the distance. Simultaneously you may ask him to give you the descriptions of the places also.

You should take great care in asking him to read anything which may not be lawfully brought to light; such should not be enforced upon the subject as such a proceedure is against an established code of moral principles of the spiritual realm, to which your subject becomes a denizen during the trances. Any violation of this will lead to terrible consequences. This can in no way be misused.

In the early stages of clairvoyance in your subject, your subject's language in the trance will be somewhat wanting and peculiar, when compared with his normal possibilities, since his mental vision will be imperfect then. Further you should understand not to force results or try to develop this psychic faculty in him in a week or two. You must not expect too much at once, for you will find that it requires considerable effort and persistency on your part to accomplish striking results. Due time should be allowed to your subject to attain a perfect state of psychic perception.

It is only by repeated trials, you will be able to bring your subject into trance. Do not be discouraged if you fail in the beginning. If you do not succeed within the first 10 or 15 trials, safely send the subject away and try some one else. It is very difficult to get proper subjects. You may have to try different persons till you pitch upon a proper one. Some may prove successful even in the first trial. Persevere and you will be crowned with success. When you conduct the trials, it would be better if you can so regulate the time as to hold the trials at one and the same time every day.

If by unavoidable or unforeseen circumstances any noise occurs your subject will turn into a sort of trance in which his behaviour may be either bordering on insanity or a thorough and splendid opening of the unknown. In either case do not be alarmed, but request him to come to the normal state and excuse you for any fault done consciously or unconsciously, and a spontaneous awakening will occur. Under any circumstances if he asks for time, do not allow him more than an hour at the most.

When you have fully developed your subject, you may not require so much time to bring him to the trance as in the early stages and you may even dispense with the passes. A mere word, sign, look or command or a very simple thought will throw the subject into trance. Do not try to accomplish this in a year or two.

CLAIRAUDIENCE.

As you continue your practice along this line, your subject will acquire the. power of clairaudience (i, e.) the ability to hear and report you the conversation or any such of people at any distance, which is beyond the range of physical hearing. When this, however, is attained your subject can with no difficulty report to you the conversation of any who may speak, discuss or lecture at any distance.

RE-INCARNATION OR RE-BIRTH.

By the aid of mesmeric passes you can put the subject into a lucid stage in which he will be able to go back to his previous birth or births and give you vivid and clear accounts of those ages, etc.

In making the subject go back, great care should be taken and he should be asked to go stage by stage or year by year until the very womb, and then alone to the previous birth, and before awakenning him you should go over the same way to bring him back to the present circumstances. If he refuses, do not be discouraged; but patiently insist and he will positively come back.

Before undertaking the practice of Intent as well as Psychic Clairvoyances you will have to master the preparatory adjuncts—the proper conditions of bodily and mental relaxations and the fixing of your thoughts firmly, calmly and steadily upon any desired thing.

The mind should be brought under the control of the "will." Your "will" is now strong enough, but the mind requires being brought under the influence of the "will." When the mind is strengthened by will, it becomes a more powerful projector of thoughts and vibrations sent by the mind thus strengthened have much greater force and effect. As the body is to readily obey the commands of the mind, the control of the muscular movements should be thoroughly practiced. For which we append the following exercises:

EXERCISE I.

You should practice to sit still for 15 minutes together. This may seem to you to be a simple one, but when you try, you will find that it is an impossible feat. Lie down in a convenient posture either in an easy chair or in your bed and entirely relax all the muscles of your body and sit or lie still for 5 minutes. Gradually increase the time to 10 minutes and thence to 15 minutes.

EXERCISE II.

Take a sheet of stiff note paper and hold it by the thumb and two fingers at one corner and raise the arm to a level with the shoulder and hold it perfectly steady. Your gaze should be fixed on your arm. This should be practiced until you are able to hold it for 5 minutes. Both the arms should be well practiced. To see whether your hands are steady look at the tips of the fingers.

EXERCISE III.

Take a goblet full of water and hold it between the thumb and one finger and extend the arm in front of you. Gaze intently upon the glass, so that the least quivering may be noticed. This should be practiced until you are able to hold it for 5 minutes. These will aid you to control all involuntary muscular movements.

EXERCISE IV.

Raise your right arm to a level with the shoulder. Stiffen all the muscles of the arm from shoulder to hand by a simple act of the will. Do this six times. Do this with the left arm also; the right should then hang by the side lifeless.

EXERCISE V.

Close the thumb and fingers of the right hand and place the hand on the knee. The first finger must be pointed out in front of you (it need not be closed). Move this finger slowly from side to side. Your attention should be firmly implanted on the end of the finger.

EXERCISE VI.

Lie down with eyes closed on your back. Place your hands at your sides in contact with the body. Completely relax all the muscles of the body as in sleep. Inhale through the nostrils, slowly as much air as possible and keep them in the iungs for a few seconds—say 40 or 50—and slowly exhale every particle of air from the lungs through the mouth. Do this for 10 minutes. While exercising repeat mentally, "All my physical weakness, if any, is leaving me; I have no fatigue or uneasiness of body; I am all right." This will not only give you a great physical relief but also a great ease of mind.

These exercises may be ad-infinitum and we leave it to you, to supply them by your own ingenuity. What we have given is sufficient, as the principle idea being that the exercise shall consist of some trivial, familiar and monotonous muscular movement, and that attention must be firmly implanted on any moving part of the body.

EXERCISE VII.

To aid you in concentrating your thoughts upon a desired thing, some similar exercises as the following should be practiced until you conquer your rebellious spirit. This may seem to you to be a very simple thing and it is only when you try you will feel the difficulty of it. Nothing but insignificant and uninteresting articles should be taken, as you can easily hold your attention on interesting objects. For instance, take a piece of twine and concentrate your entire attention upon it for 5 minutes. Look at it intently; think of it; turn it over; consider it; think of its uses; its object; of the substance of which it is made; the place or places where it is made; the process of manufacture; the amount of energy required in manufacturing it, etc. Think of no other thing but the twine; you should think that the study of the history of that piece of twine is the sole aim of your life; you should think that nothing but that piece of twine and you exist in the world.

Now, after having performed the above exercises, you may safely enter into the realm of Clairvoyance.

INTENT CLAIRVOYANCE.

The method we give you below, is the most successful one invented by the greatest of our forefathers and specially handed to us by a renowned soul to develop artificially the faculty- of clairvoyance in man. This compares very favourably with the ordinary crystal gazing method and is in every way superior to it. We speak of practical experience and have had undeniable evidence of clairvoyance presented through this means. If you follow our instructions and do just as we tell you, you will become a successful clairvoyant in an incredibly short time.

HOW TO CULTIVATE CLAIRVOYANCE.,/p>

Get a small quantity of printing ink—say five drops, —mix it well with two drops of turpentine; then put the paste on a glass piece or on a green leaf (maple leaf preferred), make a circle having a diameter of one-eighth of an inch. Retire into a quiet dark room; light a single lamp; keep it on a raised level on the northern side of your seat, so that the reflection may come from the north. Keep the leaf with the circle of paste in its middle in your left palm and hold it within a distance of one to two feet from the lamp, so that a distinct ray of light may fall on the paste. Then attain a state of passivity by relaxing your mind and body and look intently, without winking, in the reflection created on the paste. After a short time, small luminous circles will appear and gradually develop into bigger ones; some shape or figure will burst in. If you continue to look at it, these forms will take a definite course. By continuous practice, past and present events will be clearly depicted and enacted before you. When you attain this state at will, command any scene or scenes which might have occurred or occur in future, wherein you might not have been aware of or unable to know the perpetrators or parties concerned, and thus find out the actors. By the aid of this, hidden treasure, lost property, murders, crimes, robberies, etc., can be easily brought home to the guilty parties.

PSYCHIC CLAIRVOYANCE.

What Yoga or Psychic Clairvoyance depicts we have in the learned words of Col. H. S. Olcott: "Among the Siddhis (spiritual power) which develop themselves in the course of the Indian system of psychic training called Yoga, is one which gives the ascetic knowledge of the 'seven worlds' or 'seven places' of evolution. All veils before nature, all masks that hide her face from man are torn away, the hidden becomes exposed, the clouds of ignorance dissolve, the sun of knowledge shines, the yogee hears the latent as well as the non-vibrating sounds, reads the pages of the past, present and future with equal ease, sees whatever he fixes his thoughts upon, whether happening this moment or at a period milleniums back."

From the above you can understand what immense benefits and what eternal soul bliss awaits a Yogi or rather the practitioner of Psychic Clairvoyance.

We give you here the surest and best method to develop Yoga or Psychic Clairvoyance. Follow the instructions implicitly and you are sure to succeed. No time can be fixed for this, as the time to obtain your goal in this varies as to your characteristics and temperaments. Some do succeed within an incredibly short time of 2 or 3 months and with some it takes 2 or 3 years. Work patiently and at last as sure as the sun shines you will one day succeed. Your toil will not go in vain.

HOW TO DEVELOP CLAIRVOYANCE.

Go into a perfectly dark room and sit down on an easy chair letting your feet rest squarely upon the floor.

A very good instrument to use to assist one in development is what is known as the Lunar Circle, which is covered with a secret preparation so that it can be seen in the darkest room. A Lunar Circle can be obtained from The de Laurence Company. See Order No. 231 in their great book Catalogue.

The Lunar Circle should be hung on the wall about four or five feet from your chair and so it is on a level with your eyes. Then place your left thumb in the hollow of your right palm; close the fingers of your right hand over it. Rest your hands thus joined over the pit of your stomach. Relax your mind and body. Remain passive; gazing steadily at the Lunar Circle without winking. Now commence the deep breathing process explained to you under "WILL POWER DEVELOPMENT" for a period of thirty minutes. You will not at first be able to do this for thirty minutes but you will have to practice and lengthen the time by degrees. After practicing the above exercise, for a short time you should perceive a light blue white aura near the outside of the Lunar Circle. As you continue to practice the light may become stronger and increase in lustre and area. At times the room may become illuminated by a strong Astral Light so that things in the room about you may become visible. Again, you may observe a column of blue etheric waves passing before your eyes. Indeed there may appear several light waves of bright colors of the aura, such as blue, yellow, and red. Further, you may see a blue sparkling star like light in glittering circles. These are manifestations of spirit or Astral lights which usually surround one when in the elementary stage of Clairvoyance. The blue sparkling starlike light, referred to above, may change into a white sparkling manifestation.

These spirit or Astral lights are likely to appear in any part of the room and if your practicing is continued it is very likely that spirit faces will begin to materialise to you. It may be added, however, that many claim to get better and quicker results if a little Temple Incense is burned or some Waxen Candles are used for a few minutes during the exercise. Mental requests should be thrown out and made for more spirit light and better materialization. Spirit faces appear only gradually at first, but in time they should become quite clear.

Under such circumstances continue your daily practice with all earnestness and determination for further improvement, and you will see the perfect form of a human spiritual being. You may speak to him mentally to develop further, and very probably you may notice nodding of its head or a motion of its hands recognising your mental suggestions. At this stage request earnestly that spiritual being to give you more light and at once all necessary help will flow to you.

After you get a clear view of them, make them move in different directions by means of "will commands." Some may and some may not respond to your commands. After a little acquaintance with them you will see your wishes are acted up to.

When you have developed this stage, you may request the spirits to move any furniture from one place to another and do some service to you. And in course of time you may request them for information on any subject. Before the perfect development or even before the very clear appearance of the faces or spirit, you may notice a noise as the report of a small pistol. If you hear such a noise, do not be afraid; such noises are habitual before the appearance. If the noise becomes more audible your clairaudient power will be developed unconsciously and after a time you will be able through the aid of the higher ways to hear whatever you want.

Dear Reader! This is no toy to be played with. Even now you may not understand the grave significance of your more or less superhuman power. For Heaven's sake do not misuse the power. Do not compel the spirit to disclose any fact or facts that are not intended for your ears. Never cause the movement of things by the spiritual agency to satisfy the whim and fancy of any, even though he or she is as dear to you as your life. When your conversation with the spirit improves and progresses, you will know who you are.
