Yet, it will be observed, the message was, in its inception, wholly "veridical" the fault lying in the erroneous symbolic interpretation of the medium. There is evidence to show that other forms of symbolism are adopted also applying to the auditory as well as to the visual presentation of the messages. Names afford some of the best evidence for this; e.g. in the sitting of Mrs. Verrall with Mrs.
In veridical automatisms it actually seems to do so. It drops some of its usual modes of increase, its ordinary use of the senses, for example, and lays hold of bits of information which, in ways that we cannot even follow conjecturally, leak into it by way of the Subliminal.
A second part appeared in 1792; and at length Pitt adopted Burke's opinion that criminal justice was the proper argument with which to refute Tom Paine. Acting on a hint from William Blake, who, in a vision more prosaic and veridical than was usual with him, had seen the constables searching for his friend, Paine escaped to France, and was convicted in his absence of high treason.
We must admit that the public, in ghostly, as in all narratives on all topics, is given to 'fanciful addenda. Therefore, as Herr Parish justly remarks, we should 'maintain a very sceptical attitude to all accounts' of veridical hallucinations.
This brings us without any break to the consideration of veridical apparitions and hallucinations and finally to haunted houses.
They sauntered through the garden walks for a while, long enough to have ascertained that there was not a veridical phantom among the flowers, if they had been looking, and then when they came to their accustomed seat, they sat down, and she said, "I don't know that I've seen the moon so clear since we left Carlsbad."
How curiously remote from being 'coincidental' with plain facts, or 'veridical' at all, is this scientific criticism! What led Herr Parish, an honourable and clearheaded critic, into this maze of incorrect and contradictory assertions? It is interesting to try to trace the causes of such non-veridical illusions, to find the points de repère of these literary hallucinations.
Many of these hallucinations are termed "veridical", or truth-telling, because they coincide with real events occurring to another person. Some hallucinations are auditory i.e. sounds are heard which apparently do not correspond to any objective reality.
Unwise work, if it but persist, is everywhere struggling towards correction, and restoration to health; for it is still in contact with Nature, and all Nature incessantly contradicts it, and will heal it or annihilate it: not so with unwise talk, which addresses itself, regardless of veridical Nature, to the universal suffrages; and can if it be dexterous, find harbor there till all the suffrages are bankrupt and gone to Houndsditch, Nature not interfering with her protest till then.
Each vision, waking or sleeping, must have a cause, and as an expression of that cause, must be veridical. But important events are rare, and therefore significant dreams are rare; while trivial events are frequent, and therefore trivial dreams are frequent.
