INTRODUCTION. S7
appears to be in the room at the one end of the line, and, by a sort of living cord,* to communicate with “ Me” at the other end, and to make “Me” speak about that which “I” sees,
I first became aware of the faculty of Phone- voyance in the year 1905. It was a phenomenon about which I had never even dreamed, much less expected to witness. The letters produced in Chapter V. show by the dates thereof that I have used the faculty intermittently for a period of three years, z.e. from 1905 to 1908. How- ever, as I find that Phone-voyance is a great strain on the brain, and as I believe that its too frequent use would lead to very serious injury, J have made it a fixed rule never to try experi- ments for the merely idly curious, and only to use the faculty when it comes of its own accord, so to speak. I think the evidence produced in Chapter V. is sufficient to prove that the faculty exists, and that proof is the object which I had in view whilst accumulating the evidence.
Now, not only is the manner, or method, of “seeing” different from that of long-distance
* This cord appears whenever the “1” leaves the “ Me.” It seems to join one body to the other from the solar plexus to the back of the neck. It is very like a spider's cord ; but in colour it is silver tinged with heliotrope, and it extends and contracts in the same way as does elastic cord.
