FOREWORD
By SIR OLIVER LODGE
THIS seems to me to be a useful and much needed book full of information not easilyaccessible. It represents fairly and truly the feelings and interpretations of a sensitive'sexperiences, and contains material for psychological study. It also represents the diffi-culties encountered by a would-be medium at this stage of the world's knowledge of thesubject, when she is constantly in danger of prosecution for breaking what the courtsconsider to be the law. Taking it at its face value, her narrative proceeds on theconviction of the reality of a spiritual world with which it is possible under certainconditions to get into contact. She is inclined to think (and I am too) that the denizens ofthat world are all round about us, but that their presence is inaccessible to us unless wehave an instrument of reception: just as we are unaware of the etheric waves sent outfrom Daventry and other stations, though they only require a properly attunedinstrument for their interpretation into speech and music. To communicate with thespiritual world most of us require the services of a human being with an organismtrained to allow itself to be used by other intelligences, who are thus able todemonstrate their existence and to send messages of affection or comfort.Mrs. Leonard is such a medium, and has proved herself in the past to be the best orone of the best that I have known.Thoughtless people often object to the use of a medium, and wonder why they cannotget into touch themselves; they forget that for many mundane purposes a medium isnecessary. Most people are quite incompetent either to receive or send a telegramwithout the help of an operator, who acts like a medium. We are all provided withsuitable apparatus for both sending and receiving messages of a customary kind, as bywriting or speech; it is only when we attempt to communicate with people whoseexistence is uncertain, and who can only be got at in an unfamiliar way, that doubts anddifficulties arise. Our sense organs are so adapted that we can easily get into touch withintelligences inhabiting the material world, although their term of vitality is comparativelyevanescent: My belief is that the etheric world is inhabited by a multitude of beings justas various as those we have grown accustomed to on this mundane sphere, but sincethey make no impression on our senses they for the most part elude our ken. The fullmagnitude of intelligent existence therefore escapes us, and we concentrate on thesmall portion of the universe readily available. To go beyond that involves dangers, justas does any exploration, but we are warned against them, and it is possible for anysane and wholesome and well-intentioned person to select, under beneficent guidance.Mrs. Leonard has been prompted to write this book in order to inform us how the wholesubject appears to a person endowed with the requisite faculty, and her narrativecannot fail to be instructive even to those who are inclined to interpret the experiencesdifferently. For myself I am content with the straightforward interpretation that things are,
