From the Unconscious to the Conscious 



This subconsciousr.ess, which contains within itself 

 the directive and centralising capacities of the Self in 

 all its representations, has also the power to rise above 

 even these representations. 



The faculties of telepathy, of mento-mental action, 

 or lucidity, are faculties which transcend representation 

 because they transcend the dynamic or material con- 

 ditions which rule representation. 



In intuition, genius, and lucidity, the subconscious 

 stands above the category of representation, that is, of 

 time and space. 



Thus the thesis which Carl du Prel maintained in 

 works that are admirable in intuition ; which Myers based 

 on solid documentary proofs; which we have advanced 

 on reasoning which has not been refuted, is now offered 

 in its fullness to all thinkers and men of science who 

 will examine it in good faith. 



It may be affirmed without reserve that there is in 

 the living being a dynamo-psychism constituting the 

 essence of the Self, which absolutely cannot be referred 

 to the functioning of the nervous centres. This essential 

 dynamo-psychism is not conditioned by the organism; 

 on the contrary everything happens as though the 

 organism and the cerebral functions were conditioned 

 by it. 



IO. CONCLUSIONS FROM THE SYNTHETIC EXAMINATION 



OF PSYCHO-PHYSIOLOGY 



Such are the first essential conclusions of an inclusive 

 psycho-physiology, based on all the facts, but more 

 especially on the higher and more complex facts, 

 enforced by the deeper study of the subconscious, yet 

 easily adaptable, as we shall show further on, to the 

 simplest facts, upon which it throws full light. 



Science thus offers materials of high quality, which
