370 PRESENT-DAY RATIONALISM 



If it be the sub-conscious or automatic brain, then 

 there are at least two if not more and totally different 

 intelligences within one and the same head. 



I leave the reader, now, to draw his own conclusions, 

 only guaranteeing for the genuineness of the phenomena 

 above described which I have myself witnessed. 



Mr. Frederic W. H. Myers, who has studied this 

 subject, attributes it as theoretically referable to "(i) 

 automatist's own mind, i.e., things known and forgotten ; 

 (2) telepathic — facts unknown to the automatist, but 

 known to some living person in his company or con- 

 nected with him ; (3) messages which contain facts ap- 

 parently not known to the automatist nor to any living 

 friend of his, but known to some deceased person, 

 perhaps a total stranger to the living man whose hand is 

 writing. I cannot avoid the conviction that in some 

 way — however dreamlike and indirect — it is the departed 

 personality which originates such messages as these." ^ 



Conclusion. — This brings me to the end of my task, 

 viz., to meet the objections of Rationalists raised against 

 the Belief in God, Free Will and Immortality, and to 

 emphasise the method of inductive evidence as supply- 

 ing ample "proof" to substantiate all these; inasmuch 

 as the demand for " observation and experiment " is 

 irrelevant ; since that method of verification is obviously 

 out of the question.
