Why, then, longer refuse to study a force recognized by some of the most eminent men among modern civilized nations and by the modest pioneers who first studied these phenomena in France? If the number of experimenters named be not sufficient to convince sceptics, let them enter into a full study of present-day psychology, and find a host of the greatest modern neurologists.
Nine years of study has led Mr. Oxon, Professor at the University of Oxford, to formulate the following propositions on Psychic Force, which corroborate the results obtained by his colleagues in England, Germany, and America, and which still constitute another proof of the identity of the phenomena:
“1. A force exists which acts by means of a special type of human organization, a force that we call psychic force.
“2. It is demonstrated that this force is, in certain cases, governed by an intelligence.
“3. It is proved that this intelligence is often other than that of the person or persons through whose influence it acts.
“4. This Force, thus governed by an exterior intelligence, at times manifests its action, independent of other methods, by writing coherent phrases, without the intervention of any known mode of writing.
“5. The evidence of the existence of this force governed by an intelligence rests on
“(a) The evidence observed through the senses.
“(b) The fact that the force often uses a language unknown to the medium.
“(c) The fact that the subject matter treated is very frequently superior to the medium’s knowledge or education.
