INTERIOR VISION.
bids the subject gaze also.
Presently, the subject will behold a
vision in it, and will see pictures of whatever is desired. I now give the special method of thorough magnetization. First: Let the room be partly darkened.
Let there be a mirror
■in the north end ; let the subject’s back be toward that mirror, but take care that he or she sits so that the reflected ray of light (magnetism) from the operator’s e}m will strike the back of his or her head, the subject receiving the reflected ray, or, operator, subject, and mirror, forming a triangle, which any school-boy can arrange in a moment.
Now the subject sits in a chair fully insu lated, the feet being on an insulated stool, and no part of the dress or chair touching the floor.
The operator also stands or
sits on an insulated stool, and, if he is weak in nervous force, should be fully charged with electricity, or from a battery.
If
spectators are present, seat them silently in the south, east, and west, but not a soul in the north. must be allowed in the room.
No silk, not even a cravat,
If a piano is there, let some soft
and tender chord be played ; but take care not to play more than that one on that evening.
Previous to the experiment, two mag nets have been suspended, one north pole up, the other down, so as to embrace the subject’s head without much pressure ; the poles must antagonize, and a current will be sent entirely through the head.
Now be careful.
You have already prepared a magnet, or
magnetic bar, and when the subject is seated, and the magnets arranged, the operator looks steadily at that point of the lookingglass, whence the reflected ray will glance off and strike the back of the subject’s head, just between the fork of the northern magnet, and while doing so he points the bar magnet directly toward the open neck of the subject.
In a few minutes there ought to be
perfect magnetic slumber, and frequently the most surprising clairvoyance exhibited.
It is still better if all the spectators
grasp a cord on whhah a copper and iron wire has been bound, the ends being fastened to a chair, so that they point directly to the subject’s body.
If these directions be faithfully observed, success
will follow nine times in every ten experiments. I may also observe that a slight alteration will render this circle unequalled for spiritual purposes.
In such cases let all sit
round a table itself, the chairs and stools being wholly insulated. If the room be darkened, you may and probably will have curious
