ABSTRACT
This imaginary sketch of the natural attitude of the insular and parochial mind when suddenly confronted with statements of facts which transcend the range of its own limited observation, exactly follows the lines of thought with which we are so familiar in the voluminous writings of those who, after long denying the existence of psychic phenomena, are now busy explaining them away by referring them to the subconscious self. The work of Julia’s Bureau is not primarily intended to verify this or that conflicting hypothesis. Telepathy from the unconscious mind of the incarnate as an alternative is more difficult to accept than the theory that these messages emanate from the conscious mind of the discarnate, for we do at least know that such thoughts and ideas were familiar to the conscious minds of the latter when on earth, whereas we have no evidence that they ever presented themselves to the subconscious mind of the Sensitive.
