These experiences will become so frequent and so strong that he may
often (in the cases of peculiarly sensitive people) perform the entire
feat without the physical contact of the Transmitter, and perhaps
without any Transmitter at all. In well developed cases the Receiver may
perform the simple feats, and sometimes some of the more complicated
ones, merely by the aid of the Concentrated Will of the audience.
We have known of cases in which a pocket-knife was the selected and
hidden object, and when the demonstrator would enter the room he would
receive a sudden mental impression of the word "knife," followed by the
impression "under the sofa-pillow," etc., and upon going to the
designated spot the knife would be found. Every person who carefully
practices the demonstrations given in this book will be able to add
actual experiences of this kind, of his own, which have been experienced
by him during the course of his work.
In order to develop the ability to produce the Higher Phenomena, the
best course is for the student to frequently practice the demonstration
and experiments of Contact Mind Reading, as this will develop the
receptive faculties of the mind. Then the student may occasionally
practice with a few sympathetic and harmonious friends, endeavoring to
reproduce the demonstrations without physical contact.
