ABSTRACT
Macbeth is strongly clairvoyant and clairaudient, close to the invisible, the primitive man whose etheric body is not altogether housed in the physical sheath, but loose, ready to break away. Macbeth’s unusual psychic consciousness, and the evil ambition which opened the door to foul spirits, explain the morbid state of his mind, and the unbalanced reason which drove him to destruction. Between the positive mind—that of the poets and saints—and the negative mind—like that of Macbeth—there is a third kind of mind. After the Lyceum production of “Macbeth” there was a general tendency towards the idea of the “gentle, lovable, woman,” and a horrified repudiation of any suggestion of wickedness in Lady Macbeth’s character. If Macbeth and Lady Macbeth expect metaphysical aid, they must in their minds and all their actions be aware of the worlds invisible, and convey that atmosphere.
