Mind to Mind

Telepathy includes the communication of emotions, ideas, mental images, sensations, or words from one individual to another without the help of the senses. . . .

Nearly forty years ago a series of telepathic dreams awakened my interest in this field. Since then I have devoted myself to a study of the problems of telepathy. It does not seem that my time and effort have been wasted. Observation has confirmed my earlier feelings that telepathic communication does exist. Fraudulent cases exist, but they are not the whole story. Nor do I believe that a theory of chance coincidence can explain more than a few
of the facts. . . .

The material I am presenting here does not deal primarily with the success or the lack of success in the telepathic transmission of drawings. Nor do I wish to demonstrate the existence of telepathy, for the British and American research workers have been applying themselves to this problem with statistical methods. Their quantitative results afford strong evidence for telepathy. My purpose is to share observations of what actually happens in the telepathic communication of drawings. Certain dynamic principles suggest themselves, which are similar to those found in psychology. In our investigations we have noted that the laws of normal and abnormal perception seem to apply to telepathy. Paranormal mental imagery reveals characteristics like those found in normal forms of experience, such as dreams and eidetic imagery. I have devoted the body of this book to a presentation of these dynamic laws and illustrative cases.
