The Frontal Chakram, in the space between and slightly above the Eyebrows. The Coronal Chakram, at the top of the Head. In addition to their normal function of conveying vitality and energy between the physical and the super-physical planes, the chakras are capable of being specially vivified so that they conduct the vibrations of the super-physical worlds into the physical brain. Under these conditions, super-physical phenomena can be cognized during waking consciousness. The frontal chakram is of special interest, for when so vivified it bestows the faculty of clairvoyance; this brings the phenomena of the super-physical worlds within reach of the waking brain consciousness in terms of vision. It is associated with the pituitary gland, through which organ the subtler vibrations are conveyed from the chakram on the brain. The laryngeal chakram conveys vibrations in terms of hearing, and the coronal chakram, when vivified, gives memory of super-physical activities during physical sleep. Clairvoyance operates under the same laws which govern ordinary sight, and is indeed an extension of the ordinary means of cognition. Ultimately this and other faculties connected with the chakrams will be developed by the whole race. It is possible, however, to arouse them into activity in advance of the normal time of their development by the practice of Yoga. This is not the place to consider in any detail the science of Yoga as known in the East, as some considerable information upon the subject is given in the concluding chapter of this book. It may, however, be briefly stated in advance that by continued application of the principles inculcated by the science of Yoga, clairvoyance may be developed and employed with the same accuracy and precision as the sight of the physical eyes; moreover, as is shown in Chapter II, its results may be checked as carefully and satisfactorily as any which are gained by normal means of research. Having postulated the existence of these organs, and the supernormal means of cognition which results from their vivification, let us examine some of the results of its application to the diagnosis of disease.
