not consider these things. They think they will use. u mechanical method altogether, and that it can be done without the aid of mental purtiy. It is not possible. They must purify the mind or the interpretations will always be defective, and no truth can be obtained under those conditions. In the Eastern countries, they always lay great stress on the fact that a person cannot become clairvoyant unless he has a pure nature.
You have often heard of mediumistic or psychic persons reading figures or the numbers of pages in in inverted way. If I should ask such a clairvoyant to tell me the tumber of a certain page in a closed book, they will give it to me but the letters will be joverted. If it is, for instance, 159, they will say it is 951, If I should ask them for initials in an envelope, and those letters are G. O, B., they will Tead them to me as B. 0. G. That only shows mental perversion. Perfect purity of the mind is necesBary if one would see clearly.
Now we come to another point. It is not only the things ot the present we see, but we see things of the past, and of the fature. How does that cone about ? Suppose a force is set in motion. We are to do something with the aid of that force. Toat force as it is set into motion creates an activity in the etherial world, and it will produce a result that will bear a relation or correspondence to the motion
