AUTHOR’S FOREWORD. II
Eight years ago a letter of mine was printed in the Daily AMJazl, and in it I mentioned that “T leave my body and travel to places I have never seen, and this I think is perhaps the reason that many people often recognize a place and seem to know it well, although they have not been there before.”
A simple, inoffensive statement, and yet I was inundated with abusive letters and post- cards, mostly signed, ‘““A lover of Jesus,” “A follower of Christ,” or “ An upholder of God.” Naturally I desire to protect my witnesses from similar attacks. Many other letters were received, and most of the writers received tests that satisfied them. In fact, indirectly, the whole of this book is due to that letter. For then it was that, in spite of my illness, which is still with me, I determined to collect a mass of evidence which would satisfy any unbiassed, fair-minded man that in the human mind there are gigantic possibilities which at present are largely unrecognized except by the student of occultism.
As I consider that I have now accomplished my self-imposed task, and have demonstrated that the claim I made to the possession of these faculties (Daz/y Mail, January 27, 1903) was not merely an idle boast, I no longer
