But, you may say, this is very interesting, but it is not clairvoyance.
Certainly, good student, but still clairvoyance plays an important part
even in this elementary form of prevision and future-seeing. You must
remember that by clairvoyant vision the real thoughts and feelings of a
person may be perceived. But, unless the attention of the clairvoyant is
specially directed to this, the conscious mind does not note it, and the
matter reaches the subconscious faculties without interference or
conscious knowledge on the part of the clairvoyant. This being so, it will
be seen that the subconscious mind of the clairvoyant is able to reason
deductively, in such cases, far beyond the power of even the subconscious
mind of the ordinary person--it has fuller data and more complete material
to work upon, of course.
It has become a proverb of the race that "coming events cast their shadows
before"; and many persons frequently have little flashes of future-time
seeing without realizing that they are really exercising elementary
clairvoyant powers. The combination of even a simple form of clairvoyance
and an active subconscious mind will often produce very wonderful
results--although not of course the more complex phenomena of full
clairvoyance and prevision. Some persons have claimed that even this form
of prevision implies something like fate or predestination, but this is
not fully true, for we must remember the fact that in some cases it is
possible to so act in accordance with a clairvoyant warning of this kind
that the impending calamity may be escaped.
