8 INTERIOR VISION.
many pretenders to all these, nine in ten of whom are rank impostors.
There is a clairvoyance of Introspection, Inspection, and Projection, and these have their appropriate fields in the past, present, and the future; all of which are easily developed and perfected.
There is the common somnambulic or mesmerically induced lucidity. It also comes through the coma or trance, however produced; and yet it is by no means necessary that the patient be fully entranced in order to produce the distinct lucidity. I know capital seers who never were entranced ; who never lost their consciousness for a moment. But such cases are far from being common orusual. This first kind of vision exhausts itself on material objects alone, —a mere perception of things without penetrating power. The next stage it reaches is that of mind-reading. In 1853, 4, 5, the writer hereof had this power to a remarkable degree; used to play cards, chess, and read books, blindfold; and this power caused him to be invited to visit Paris, where he exhibited it to the astonishment of the savans, and his own glorification. Practically, the thing is useless,
There is a perception, one grade higher than this last, which enables the subject to come en rapport with the surface and essence of things, as a tree, man, woman, herbs, etc.; and it grows till the seer beholds and explains somewhat of the penetralia of things ; and it culminates in the condition wherein the mind, leaping all the barriers of the outer senses and world, sees and knows things altogether beyond their ranges, and approaches the awful realms of Positive Spirit.
Special cerebral organs become lucid, soon succeeded by an entire illumination of the brain. This is a grand, a sublime, a holy degree ; for the subject sees, senses, feels, knows, by a royal power ; is en rapport with a thousand knowledges. A step further, a step inward, and the subject is in harmony with both the upper and lower universes. Je or she thenceforth is a Powsr IN THE Wortp. All clairvoyants may not claim genius, but all true genius is clairvoyant. Mere talents are dry leaves, tossed up and down by gusts of passion, and scattered and swept away; but Genius lies on the bosom of Memory, and Gratitude at her feet.
