It is only that we are
accustomed to one, and not to the other, that makes the astral senses seem
more wonderful than the physical. Nature's workings are all
wonderful--none more so than the other. All are beyond our absolute
conception, when we get down to their real essence. So let us keep an open
mind!
LESSON II.
TELEPATHY vs. CLAIRVOYANCE.
In this work I shall use the term "clairvoyance" in its broad sense of
"astral perception," as distinguished from perception by means of the
physical senses. As we proceed, you will see the general and special
meanings of the term, so there is no necessity for a special definition or
illustration of the term at this time.
By "telepathy," I mean the sending and receiving of thought messages, and
mental and emotional states, consciously or unconsciously, by means of
what may be called "the sixth sense" of the physical plane. There is, of
course, a form of thought transference on the astral plane, but this I
include under the general term of clairvoyance, for reasons which will be
explained later on.
You will remember that in the preceding chapter I told you that in
addition to the five ordinary physical senses of man there were also two
other physical senses comparatively undeveloped in the average person.
