Touch is regarded by many writers as the most objective and the most trustworthy of all our faculties. It has been described as the source of our knowledge of the existence of an external world, and of the real magnitudes, figures, and distances of objects; as the instructor of the other senses, and tire corrector … Continue reading Touch is regarded by many writers as the most objective

Sight is of all the senses the most communicative as a vehicle of information
Sight is of all the senses the most communicative as a vehicle of information, and consequently the one in which there is the least immediate consciousness of pleasure or pain in the exercise. Most of the knowledge, however, which this sense, in its matured state, conveys to us, belongs to its acquired, not to its … Continue reading Sight is of all the senses the most communicative as a vehicle of information
The true object of smell is to be found in the odorous particles
In Smell, as in the other senses, it is necessary to distinguish between the sensation itself and its object, which, in ordinary language, are not unfrequently confounded together. Thus we speak of the organ of smell, and of the smell of a rose, using the same term indifferently to signify the act of inhaling an … Continue reading The true object of smell is to be found in the odorous particles
The stronger the sensation, the weaker the perception
Perception is sometimes defined as “ the knowledge we obtain, by means of our sensations, of the qualities of matter.” This definition may be admitted, if matter is understood as including our own bodily organism, as well as the extra-organic objects to which it is related. The former is the only kind of matter that … Continue reading The stronger the sensation, the weaker the perception
The Matter of intuitive consciousness
Space and time are known to us as formal conditions of consciousness; whether they are anything more than such conditions is a question which at present we have no means of answering. The laws of consciousness must be primarily manifested as binding upon the conscious mind. As such, they necessarily accompany every manifestation of consciousness; … Continue reading The Matter of intuitive consciousness
What is astral science
Astral science is a science because it requires knowledge of its rules, its policies, its ways, its purpose, its agenda, its outcome. Every subject that has all the stated requirements has the title of science. Astral science is heading to the discovery of a world other than the physical, but which is the same than … Continue reading What is astral science
To have a complete consciousness
In every complete act of consciousness offered to us for analysis, the presentative and representative elements are combined; and without such a combination it would appear as if consciousness, properly so called, could have no existence. To have a complete consciousness, for example, of any particular object of sense, say of an oak-tree, two conditions … Continue reading To have a complete consciousness
The whole cycle of human knowledge
The study of the master-minds of the human race is almost equally instructive in what they achieved and in what they failed to achieve; and speculations which are far from solving the riddle of existence have their use in teaching us why it is insoluble. Thus it appears that the term Metaphysics has been at … Continue reading The whole cycle of human knowledge
Phenomenon of Consciousness (16)
We have already seen that neither the brain record alone nor any existing internal relations of the cerebrum at a particular time or at any time, by voluntary or involuntary action, could generate or bring into activity a power of cognition without a stimulus to brain activity. How, then, does it originate ? We have … Continue reading Phenomenon of Consciousness (16)
Phenomenon of Consciousness (15)
Hence, we are almost driven to accept the pituitary and pineal glandular bodies as the separate organs, which separately produce the two necessary reagents, they being the only glandular bodies whose position would enable them to perform this function. This hypothesis is substantially supported by the position of these organs in the center of the … Continue reading Phenomenon of Consciousness (15)
Phenomenon of Consciousness (13)
It appears from this jumble of the imaginary, hypothetical and concrete that the mind is the soul; that it is energy, force and matter and at the same time not matter; that the soul is the disembodied spirit; that the spirit is the disembodied soul while residing in the body and after leaving the body; … Continue reading Phenomenon of Consciousness (13)
Phenomenon of Consciousness (12)
Whatever the mind may be, it is not the brain, and cognitions are undoubtedly either the acts or phenomena resulting from acts of the brain, or of the brain in conjunction with other parts of the living body. There is no doubt that cognitions depend entirely upon the operations of the living body and that … Continue reading Phenomenon of Consciousness (12)
Phenomenon of Consciousness (11)
There are at least seven different kinds of sensation: sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch, temperature and pressure. It is difficult to conceive of a conscious state existing in any body, which has not experienced any of these sensations. Cognitions of internal relations. These are numerous and we shall not attempt to even mention them all. … Continue reading Phenomenon of Consciousness (11)
Phenomenon of Consciousness (10)
The phenomenon of consciousness has already been defined as the cognition or knowledge of the existence of self and of the Universe. The word also defines, as previously stated, a certain state or condition of the brain, in which the brain has this power of cognition of self-existence and of other simultaneous cognitions. This phenomenon … Continue reading Phenomenon of Consciousness (10)
Phenomenon of Consciousness (3)
The same is true of words spoken in the same room with the hearer, even spoken directly into the ear. No external word, no external sound, ever reaches the brain. There is no external sound. The only sounds ever heard in any brain are cognitions originating and existing only in the brain—cognitions of internal relations … Continue reading Phenomenon of Consciousness (3)
When psychic powers are or become ours
We are now at a junction where many people attest to having some kind of psychic power. It is not by luck. Many people were born or are being born with them, grew up in families who talked about a particular family member or members who had them, and others develop powers at a later … Continue reading When psychic powers are or become ours
Nonlocality Communication
How can a steadfast person or a scientist whose mind is strictly data, books, experiments and solutions even consider the possibility that nonlocality communication could be real? They have a hard time accepting this concept because they cannot comprehend it. They cannot see or visualize it. They cannot add or subtract it. They cannot utilize … Continue reading Nonlocality Communication
What is wisdom
Wisdom by itself is nonexistent. Wisdom is always combined with knowledge and experience. In order to become wise you must experience knowledge. Wisdom comes to you when you have seen something, you have done something, you have learned something and you have understood all the ramifications of that something. So, going back to wisdom, each … Continue reading What is wisdom

What can the sun, moon, earth, elements, and their creator teach us?
The main function of all these energies or all these beings or all these aspects of the universe is to teach us togetherness, connectedness, love for each other, the binding of all of us, the merging of our souls together to form the tapestry we call the universe. One cannot do without the other, for … Continue reading What can the sun, moon, earth, elements, and their creator teach us?
