Tempo:
projected astral bodies of patients who were undergoing operations. These occurred, he says, while he was attending a surgical clinic in a large hospital in Chicago, he being one of three observers watching the operations.
Room can only be found for an abbreviated account.
"The entire personnel of the surgery that day," he writes, "were unaware of the phenomena I saw before me. To them the patient was merely unconscious from deep inhalation of ether.... I saw the spirit of the patient float free in space above the operating table, resting supine and inert... . As the anaesthetic deepened... the freedom of the spirit became greater, for the form floated freely away from the physical counterpart.... The spirit was quiet, as if in deep peaceful sleep.
"I know that the surgical activity was not affecting it, for the anaesthetic had driven it from the physical vehicle, and it would remain separated from its body until the ether had lessened sufficiently to allow its return.
"At the finish of this operation, while the wound was being closed, the spirit came closer to the body, but had not entered it when the patient was wheeled from the operating room." In two other cases which Dr. Hout mentions, the Double of one floated about horizontally, while the other was upright and quite active.
He had also seen Etheric forms which were present watching the operating technique, their astral cords drifting about like silvery curls of smoke.
The dentist's chair seems frequently to have provided a stepping-off place for the Double.
Charles Richet supplies one such instance sent to him by his friend, M. L. L. Hymans, in June, 1925.
