SOME ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES AND PHENOMENA OF TELEPATHY. FIRST. SOME SIMPLE ILLUSTRATIVE PSYCHICAL PHENOMENA IN NATURE OR SCIENCE. SECOND. SOME FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES AND PHENOMENA IN THE TELEPATHY OF SCRIPTURE. CHAPTER II. SOME SIMPLE ILLUSTRATIVE PSYCHICAL PHENOMENA IN NATURE OR SCIENCE. We now proceed to take a slightly more detailed view of the scope of telepathy. It is a vast and complicated subject. So we must first present some simple fundamental facts. These will enable us better to understand what follows. We are in no sense dealing with fanciful or imaginary things. Our discussion lies right along the grand highway of psychological investigation. The ultimate object is to exhibit something of what Inspiration, interpreted by Psychical Science, reveals about the psychic powers which the saints are to enjoy in their future state. And we are addressing both those who have not studied psychical science and those who have. The former, perhaps possessing neither the time nor the inclination specially to explore the telepathy of science, presumably desire to learn something of what the Scriptures teach about the transcendent telepathic activities which are to be ours in the coming life. And such persons require some preparatory exposition of the telepathy of nature, in order to understand that of Scripture. The latter are already familiar with the revelations of psychical science, but would study something of the great display of psychical phenomena which are now seen to be contained in the Bible. Neither class of these readers will here require an exhaustive discussion of scientific telepathy. Therefore we do not attempt to review the protracted labours which the pioneers in these explorations had to undertake, in experimentation, in observations of spontaneous telepathy, in the collection and classification of data. There were innumerable queries, conjectures, speculations, surmises, suppositions, theories, discussions, with most patient development of details; for by |
