Proceeding further in that chapter (Page 170) he says in explicit terms in para 45 as under :
"This study explains the scales of justice which is a very broad way of showing how a person appears to suffer in this. life as a result of something he has done in a past life through. this law of action and reaction known in the East as 'Karma' as to which a certain newspaper gives very interesting delineation day by day at the time of writing. Many a person cannot see why he suffers one disaster after another in this life. Yet reincarnation may reveal atrocities committed by him in lives gone by ".
Further on page 171 in para 46 he expresses his views. more vividly and with greater emphasis on this subject in the following terms:
"The biblical version of vengeance as a lion shall. lie in wait for them (Ecl. 27, 28) can be interpreted as Karma. Does it not throw light on the Biblical passage," AS a man sows, so shall he also reap (Gal 6, 7) where the secret lies in the word also '. Probably implying that he only reaps in this life that which he has sown in former lives ".
The experts of this science as a result of a number of experiments have come to a definite conclusion that the doctrine of reincarnation is proved by the sixth kind of an intensely deep hypnotism on a trance subject. In consequence it helps to solve many a knotty problem of the present day. There are numerous people who are constantly obsessed by various kinds of fears. Such people are not able to unravel the causes of the sufferings of fear and like maladies, because they are not able to discover their causes from the present life. If in such cases a resort were to be had to the science of hypnotism and if the subject was applied the sixth kind of hypnotism with success, the memories of the past incarnations would rise up and from them the causes of the present complex of fears would be traced.
