Slate-Writing
Sir,—Our anonymous friend “ T. J.” says that I am “ at sea ” respecting the modus operandi of the writing on Slade’s slates. I am so entirely. He has “not had an opportunity of witnessing this particular phenomenon,” but is subsequently “disposed to think,’’ and “inclined to think” various hypotheses. Of the phenomena which he has not seen, he divides the unknown amount by ten, and assigns to “Allie” nine-tenths of the phenomena, and to Allie + x the remaining one-tenth. Careful and repeated observation will, no doubt, lead us to appreciate the value of this mathemetical argument.
Spiritualism among the Hindus
Sir,—It is evident to every well-informed man that belief in spirit communion is not local; nor merely is it wide-spread, but absolutely cosmopolitan. I have met not only Singhalese and Chinese Spiritualists, but hundreds of Hindu Spiritualists, gifted with the powers of conscious mediumship. And yet Mr. W. L. D. O’Grady, of New York, informs the readers of The Spiritualist (see issue November 23rd), that there are no Hindu Spiritualists. These are his words—“No Hindu is a Spiritualist.” As an offset to this assertion, I present the following extract from a letter written me by Peary Chand Mittra, Calcutta, September 11th, 1877. I have not only been in correspondence with this Hindu gentleman for several years, but have the pleasure of his personal acquaintance and friendship. These are his exact words:
“Thank God my inner vision is being more and more developed, and I am talking with spirits as with human beings. The study of Spiritualism is boundless; and the more attenuated the soul is—the more free it is from body and the nervous system—the more we realise the nobleness of Spiritualism. (*)
Some of the best mediums that it has been my good fortune to know I met in Ceylon and India. And these were not mediums; for, indeed, they held converse with “the Pays and Pesahsays, having their habitations in the air, the water, the fire, in rocks and trees, in the clouds, the rain, the dew, in mines and caverns.” But they were influenced by—they saw objectively—and they talked with spirits that they knew and loved while in their earthly bodies.
One of the best tests of spirit identity, and one of the most correct readings of my past life that I ever received, was through the clairvoyant mediumship of a Zamiel woman in Southern India.
London, January 13th, 1878.
(*) Yes, the nobleness of Spiritualism – not of modern Phenominalism. Great difference. Ask Peary Chand Mittra whether he would accept "materialized" spooks with sweating hands and corpses stinking bodies for his dear "departed ones"? – and see what he will answer....... That our friend Peebles has always had a tendency to ... the name of Spiritualist on every one he met, the following is a proof. (See what Peary Chand Mittra writes on the subject of materialization. Fabruary 8, 1878.
