Joan had vanished utterly,leaving only the black
screen. Under detailed instruction through Betty, Margaret and Mrs. Anne
urgedMargaret sharply and repeatedly to let it go.
Gaines and I apparently got it the
strongest.
We could take her anywhere while that cord
isattached.
Then it took on a middle age; and afterwards
returned toyouth.
No, denied Gaines, I saw a form, but I saw no face
there nor anythingresembling him. Isnt it necessary to have a notion of the force
basis of all matter?
She shook them violently, as thoughthey had been
sensitive and had been touched.
Anne came again with a portrait of herself that she
had shown in theafternoon.
It spread until practically the wholearea
surrounding her was filled with it. Gaines and Margaret saw less, but were almost
continuouslyconscious of the current.
Likevoltage; you can intensify a current. The same
nimbus-like phenomenon, though in a lesser degree, wasnow observed about her
hand.
Ye did na see much, but it was a guid start in mair
waysthan one. We squinched our eyes, and saw a faint smoke-like emanation from the
endsof the fingers. Then Anne urged the lasses to shake handsfor the
lads.
The usual mask, or shell was thrown in front of
Joans face. Is the Beta an agglomeration of strew points in the force which is
theme? You are vain, Anne, joked Gaines, to show yourself so young. There are fifty
or so here: like sardines. There are many worlds, but only one earth.
It was nowagitated by a quivering so rapid as to be
almost a vibration.
You see, and you know that you see, and yet you
doubt.
This, however, attained no further
definition.
But I didna tell ye it wereimpossible to see the
Beta of the other person. All are moreclosely linked up than you have
thought.
Accordingly she took Margarets place for some
time.
Immediately the face began to change until it had
become that of a veryold woman. Darby didnot tell Gaines this until after the latter
had reported the factmentioned above.
These images or masks gavethe emotion naturally
accorded to portraits rather than personalities.
All are moreclosely linked up than you have
thought. How prove that this repeatable demonstration of the Beta is not
merelyphysiological? Our terminology we use herewould do no good.
It becamehazy, much in the effect of a soft focus
lens. Thesubconscious is to the Beta what the conscious mind is to the physical.
Oh,poor child, they are stimulating her body to make it more visible. Now, said
Betty, we are out all over the room.
