hypersensitivity of brain is probably one of the essential factors in psychometry. (4) To receive back into the brain the reply of the consciousness in the form of pictures and ideas. This is automatic; “the ego dramatizes”. The picture seen in miniature, as if before the face, is a thought form produced by the impact of the reply from the consciousness upon the mental or emotional body. (5) To express the result in words, whilst stilt watching the decoded vibrational effects. This brings us to the point where the first picture has been seen and described, and answers the question: “How are the vibrations surrounding an object translated into pictures and ideas?” The answer is: “By the ordinary methods of consciousness.” (6) To change the focus of consciousness from the object to the picture which it has induced (7) To step in consciousness into the picture, which immediately changes into the appearance of actual physical environment. Although this power to step in consciousness into the picture would seem to involve great difficulties, it is probably only a question of focal knack. That conclusion is borne out by the statements of a psychomctrist, who says that it requires no effort to do this, and that it may even occur before he is aware of it, especially if the object be strongly impressed or charged with the vibrations of the place Probably this is made possible by the presence of the physical object which is constantly en rapport with every physical scene in its history. (8) To maintain at the same time full control and use of the physical senses, to describe the experiences as they happen, and to hear and answer questions. This calls for either a rapid change of mental focus, or some form of double consciousness, so that the ability to describe psychic experiences as they happen, and to hear and answer physical questions, may be the result of either of two processes. (1) The process of changing the focus of consciousness from the physical to that on which the experience is taking place and back again. The processes of consciousness are so rapid that there would be no appearance of the passage of physical time. (2) The process of reflection in man the microcosm, of an attribute of the Macrocosmic Logos, Who is conscious at every point in His universe, and at the same time is conscious outside that manifestation, where He may with reverence be presumed to “dwell” among His Peers.
