Osty, "has no other function than to allow the medium's sensitiveness to distinguish a definite force from among the innumerable forces that assail it." It seem more and more certain that, as the cells of an immense organism, we are connected with everything that exists by an inextricable network of vibrations, waves, influences, of nameless, numberless and uninterrupted fluids.
Osty, and supplied him with a scarf which the old man had worn. Dr. Osty went to his favourite medium, Mme. M . He knew only one thing, that the matter concerned an old man of eighty-two, who walked with a slight stoop; and that was all. As soon as Mme.
All that we have still to do is to consider it for a moment in its relations with the foretelling of the future. A large number of investigations, notably those conducted by M. Duchatel and Dr. Osty, show that, in psychometry, the notion of time, as Dr. Joseph Maxwell observes, is very loose, that is to say, the past, present and future nearly always overlap.
As Dr. Osty very rightly says: "The conditions are then those of perception by the intermediary of the thoughts of a living person; and the deceased is perceived through a mental representation. The experiment, for this reason, is valueless as evidence of the reality of retrospective psychometry and consequently of the recording part played by the object.
Osty puts it, "the medium can interpret each of them from beginning to end, as though he were in communication with the far-off entity." All this makes the theory somewhat incredible, even though it be not much more so than the many other phenomena in which the shock of the miraculous has been softened by familiarity.
None therefore would have any value save predictions of unlikely happenings, clearly defined and outside the sphere of the person interested. As Dr. Osty says: "The ideal prognostication would obviously be that of an event so rare, so sudden and unexpected, implying such a change in one's mode of life that the theory of coincidence could not decently be put forward.
Osty categorically declares that he does: "All the incidents," he says, "which filled these three years of my life, whether wished for by me or not, or even absolutely contrary to the ordinary routine of my life, had always been foretold to me, not all by each of the clairvoyant subjects, but all by one or other of them.
It, therefore, seems certain that there is, at least in psychometry, something more than the mere mirror of which Dr. Osty speaks. I consider it necessary to declare for the last time that these psychometric phenomena, astonishing though they appear at first, are known, proved and certain and are no longer denied or doubted by any of those who have studied them seriously.
Let us begin by seeing, with the aid of a living and typical example, how it is exercised. Mme. M , one of the best mediums mentioned by Dr. Osty, is given an object which belonged to or which has been touched and handled by a person about whom it is proposed to question her. Mme. M operates in a state of trance; but there are other noted psychometers, such as Mme. F and M. Ph.
Osty, the clairvoyants are mirrors reflecting the intuitive thought that is latent in each of us. In other words it is we ourselves who are clairvoyant, and they but reveal to us nor own clairvoyance. Their mission is to stir, to awaken, to galvanize, to illumine the secrets of our subconsciousness and to bring them to the surface of our normal lives.
