would be modified, and the condition of other worlds as plainly seen
as our own."

"Yes," said Paul, determined to follow up the original question, "but
what of a scene that occurred in this world some years ago, and whose
light vibrations would require but the fraction of a second to reach
our point of consciousness--no matter where situated on earth--and
which vibrations have long since passed beyond the reach of man, and
been lost in infinite space?"

"Nothing is ever lost, and infinite space is but a phase of infinite
mind. All that is necessary to review such a picture is to change our
point of consciousness from the brain to a point in space or _mind_,
where the vibratory movement is still in progress. In other words, to
overtake the scene by transposing our consciousness. Granted these
powers, which are born of the soul, and we may behold any event in
history with the clearness of its original force. Man is mind, and
mind is one; but all mind is not self-conscious. The consciousness of
mind is in spots, as it were, and here its consciousness is fixed in
a spot called brain, where with most men it remains until the will,
or some abnormal condition or the event called death, liberates it
from its prison. You believe that with your God, the scenes of
yesterday, to-day, and forever are alike visible?"

"Even admitting all that you say," answered Paul, "I can not see how
it was that I, who have no such power, could see clearly an event in
your life."

"Again the power of sympathetic vibration. The scene was reflected
from my mind to yours."
