There are two predominant factors in all forms of psychic science. One is “clairvoyance,” the ability to view the distant of unseen; the other is “precognition,” an awareness of the future. How consistently and how accurately these faculties can be demonstrated, has long been a matter of contention; but many skeptics who doubted the methods used in certain psychic sciences have been impressed by the results.
By that token, the correct reading of a horoscope, the interpretation of the lines of the palm, or the recognition of moods through facial expressions, could be due to clairvoyance or precognition on the part of a “gifted” demonstrator. The skeptics, having gone that far, tried to find a physical rather than a psychical explanation for such phenomena.
They decided that in a majority of cases, a clairvoyant gained thought impressions that were already in another person’s mind while a prophet frequently voiced someone’s unspoken hope or wish. Supporting this were many instances where a person had received a mental “Flash” from a distant friend. This was classed by Mark Twain and others as “mental telegraphy,” and students of the subject finally bundled it with other similar phenomena under the head of “TELEPATHY.”
