You, however, saw them plainer than you saw Joans
own Beta. The influence of color in light toward makingcertain objects more or less
visible is also apposite. They wereextraordinarily interesting, but did not go
beyond the ectoplasmhypothesis.
It is a purely physical, though
internalthing.
First Margaret, then Joan, turn about, madethe
motion of tossing something to the other. The Beta is a wholething, and the physical

Joanwas facing magnetic north; and the negative

The bandage around Joans eyes had

We then perceived the emanation, as a sort of

The interesting point was that all three could see
the same thing at thesame time. Cass saw the same things, butless often, and

I cant turn my hand over, she said; then with an
effort turned it tothe horizontal.
We could take her anywhere while that cord

Cass, Darby and I remarked at the same instant that
the face was slightlyin profile.
They wereextraordinarily interesting, but did not
go beyond the ectoplasmhypothesis. First one finger then theother would
instantaneously appear of an inordinate length.
These images or masks gavethe emotion naturally
accorded to portraits rather than personalities.
We have form, weight, color, and more senses than
you have. Under advice the two stations were now brought out for a short recess. At
one time, for some seconds, the hand folded into the likenessof a lily-like
flower.
Then my Beta is my individual bunch of that
consciousness, addedGaines.
You remember that verse about The golden cord is
