SPIRITUALISM AND PHENOMENA

LETTER No. LXXXVIII

 

My good friend -- it is very easy for us to give phenomenal proofs when we have necessary conditions. For instance -- Olcott's magnetism after six years of purification is intensely sympathetic with ours -- physically and morally is constantly becoming more and more so. Damodar and BhavaniRao being congenitally sympathetic their auras help -- instead of repelling and impeding phenomenal experiments. After a time you may become so -- it depends on yourself. To force phenomena in the presence of difficulties magnetic and other is forbidden, as strictly as for a bank cashier to disburse money which is only entrusted to him. Mr. Hume cannot comprehend this. And therefore is "indignant" that the various tests he has secretly prepared for us have allfailed. They demanded a tenfold expenditure of power since he surrounded them with an aura not of the purest -- that of mistrust, anger, and anticipated mockery. Even to do this much for you so far from the Headquarters would be impossible but for the magnetisms O. and B.R. have brought with them -- and I could do no more.
