It is clear that the mere possession of this astral vision by a being would at once account for his capability to produce many results that seem Clairv0 '' ance - very wonderful to us— such, for example, as the reading of a passage from a closed book ; and when we remember, friruffermoie, that this faculty includes the power of thought-reading to the fullest extent, and also, when combined with the knowledge of the projection of currents in the astral light, that of observing a desired object in almost aqy part of the world, \\% see that a good many of the phenomena of clairvoyance are explicable even without rising above this level. I would refer any one who desires to study more closely this very interesting subject to my little book on Clairvoyance , in which its varieties are tabulated and explained, and numerous examples given.
True, trained, and absolutely reliable clairvoyance calls into operation an entirely different set of faculties, but as these belong to a higher plane than the astral, they form no part of our present subject. The faculty of accurate prevision, again, appertains altogether to that higher plane, yet flashes or reflections of it Prevision frequently show themselves to purely astral Second-sight, sight, more especially among simple-minded people who live under suitable conditions— what is called • "second-sight” among the Highlanders of Scotland being a well-known example.
