137 stimulant will always send it higher. The most reliable performer apparently
138 cannot make a good score unless he tries to do his best.
139 "One conclusion that Wright draws with some confidence is that telepathy
140 and clairvoyance are really one and the same gift. That is, the faculty that
141 'sees' a card face down on a table seems to be exactly the same one that
142 'reads' a thought residing only in another mind. There are several grounds for
143 believing this. So far, for example, the two gifts have been found in every
144 person who enjoys either of them. In every one so far the two have been of
145 equal vigor, almost exactly. Screens, walls, distances, have no effect at all on
146 either. Wright advances from this conclusion to express what he puts forward
147 as no more than the mere 'hunch' that other extra-sensory experiences,
148 prophetic dreams, premonitions of disaster, and the like, may also prove to be
149 part of the same faculty. The reader is not asked to accept any of these
150 conclusions unless he finds it necessary, but the evidence that Rhine has piled
151 up must remain impressive."
152 In view of Dr. Rhine's announcement in connection with the conditions under
153 which the mind responds to what he terms “extra-sensory modes of perception,”
154 I now feel privileged to add to his testimony by stating that my associates and I
155 have discovered what we believe to be the ideal conditions under which the mind
156 can be stimulated so that the sixth sense described in the next chapter, can be
157 made to function in a practical way.
158 The conditions to which I refer consist of a close working alliance between
159 myself and two members of my staff. Through experimentation and practice, we
160 have discovered how to stimulate our minds (by applying the principle used in
161 connection with the "Invisible Counselors" described in the next chapter) so that
162 we can, by a process of blending our three minds into one, find the solution to a
163 great variety of personal problems which are submitted by my clients.
164 The procedure is very simple. We sit down at a conference table, clearly state the
165 nature of the problem we have under consideration, then begin discussing it.
