The modern radio apparatus substantiates, to a
considerable extent, the theory here expounded. Powerful sending or
broadcasting stations must be erected through which the vibration of sound
is "stepped up" before it can be picked up by the much higher vibrating
energy of the ether and carried in all directions.
A Master Mind made up of many individual minds, so blended that they produce a strong vibrating energy, constitutes almost an exact counterpart of the radio broadcasting station. Every public speaker has felt the influence of mind chemistry, for it is a well known fact that as soon as the individual minds of an audience become "en rapport" (attuned to the rate of vibration of the mind of the speaker) with the speaker, there is a noticeable increase of enthusiasm in the speaker's mind, and he often rises to heights of oratory which surprise all, including himself.
The first five to ten minutes of the average speech are
devoted to what is known as "warming up." By this is meant the process
through which the minds of the speaker and his audience are becoming blended
in a spirit of PERFECT HARMONY. Every speaker knows what happens when this
state of "perfect harmony" fails to materialize upon part of his audience.
The seemingly supernatural phenomena occurring in spiritualistic meetings are the result of the reaction, upon one another, of the minds in the group. These phenomena seldom begin to manifest themselves under ten to twenty minutes after the group is formed, for the reason that this is about the time required for the minds -in the group to become harmonized or blended.
The "messages" received by members of a spiritualistic group probably come from one of two sources, or from both, namely: First From the vast storehouse of the subconscious mind of some member of the group; or Second From the universal storehouse of the ether, in which, it is more than probable, all thought vibration is preserved.
Neither any known natural law nor human reason supports the theory of communication with individuals who have died. It is a known fact that any individual may explore the store of knowledge in another's mind, through this principle of mind chemistry, and it seems reasonable to suppose that this power may be extended to include contact with whatever vibrations are available in the ether, if there are any.
