But I really did not feel it ... until I saw you there. Then all at once I felt shabby and mean." "Well?" said Lewisham. "That's all. I may have done thought-reading, but I have never really cheated since never.... If you knew how hard it is ..." "I wish you had told me that before." "I couldn't. Before you came it was different.
"Thought-reading is only a society amusement, as you have just observed," he said "And I have been amusing myself with it for the last few minutes. Come! let us see your treasure!" Dr. Brayle was thoroughly embarrassed, but he tried to cover his confusion by an awkward laugh.
It is clear that the mere possession of this astral vision by a being would at once account for his capability to produce many results that seem very wonderful to us such, for example, as the reading of a passage from a closed book; and when we remember, furthermore, that this faculty includes the power of thought-reading to the fullest extent, and also, when combined with the knowledge of the projection of currents in the astral light, that of observing a desired object in almost any part of the world, we see that a good many of the phenomena of clairvoyance are explicable even without rising above this level.
From thought-reading they had passed imperceptibly to spirits, and from spirits to ghosts, from ghosts to people buried alive. . . . A gentleman had read a horrible story of a corpse turning round in the coffin. Vaxin himself had asked for a saucer and shown the young ladies how to converse with spirits.
'One would think you had been frightened by the family ghost, Ida said laughingly, 'you so studiously avoid talking about the Abbey. 'I have not been frightened by the ghost I am too modern to believe in ghosts. 'Oh, but it is modern to believe in everything impossible spirit-rapping, thought-reading.

A murder and its detection were given in dumb show. Then it was the turn of card-guessing, bank-note-finding, and the various other forms of telepathic hide and seek. Mr.
At this distance of time it seems to me absurd. I had once experienced something of the same feeling with the hand of a young medical student, who, skilled in thought-reading, discovered the number of a bank-note that was in my mind. This woman had an attractiveness compelling and delightful, at least in its earlier application to me.
It looked very innocent to be mesmerized last night, didn't it? Oh, mesmerism is a vulgar affair; but there was more than mesmerism realized last night. I played three trump cards last night, Mr. Justin Blake. The Egyptian story was one, the thought-reading was the second, the animal and mental magnetism was the third. I had tested my opponent before, and knew just how to play.
Vincent says: 'There are many interesting questions, such as telepathy, thought-reading, clairvoyance, upon which it would be perhaps rash to give any decided opinion.... All these strange psychical conditions present problems of great interest, and are only omitted because 'they have not a sufficient bearing on the normal states of hypnosis.... Thus what was 'rubbish' in one page 'presents problems of great interest' ten pages later, and, after offering a decided opinion that clairvoyance is rubbish, Mr.
If we are to be "psychical," there seems less evidence for "unconscious thought-reading," than for the presence of what are technically styled apports, things introduced by an agency of supra-normal character, vulgarly called a "spirit."
