objectively indulges above this line in the external sphere of 

 sensation and ideals, the ideal sphere of forms and abstract ideas, 

 so the animal indulges intellectually, respectively, intuitively, be- 

 neath this line, in such ideals which are only indulged by the idea 

 of individualization ; that is, things absolutely necessary for life, 

 to maintain existence, such as food, generation and comfort. 



Subsequently, according to the small number of ideal objects, 

 representing only life's necessities, the introspective periphery, 

 that is, the subconsciousness of the animal, is limited to a narrow 

 range; but logical to this, the animal listens more obediently and 

 subjectively to the innate voice of life, respectively, the principles 

 of sound individualization. And, therefore, is the animal more 

 capable than man, in spite of his powerful cerebral organization, 

 to shape its existence as pleasant as possible. 



It is this very subjectivity to the innate principles which ena- 

 bles the animal to be so susceptible to all these prevailing inter- 

 current pathetical and intuitive manifestations and adopt methods 

 in order to establish a modus of intercommunication which is 

 from their standpoint available and sufficient in the same degree 

 as the demonstrative expressions of man. 



A more definite illustration of instinct and relation to the 

 subject will follow in the succeeding chapters. 



CHAPTER III. 



THE BASIS OF THOUGHT TRANSFERENCE. 



The telepathetical manifestation by which feelings and motives 

 are transmitted from one individual to the other may be termed 

 thought transference. This form introduced here may probably 

 meet with scepticism, because it is a prevailing idea that an animal 

 is not able to think and therefore has no thoughts. 



But we must bear in mind that an animal is also endowed 

 with the same intellectual and pathetical faculties as man; it is 

 here the quality of power which differentiates man and animal. 

 An animal must logically also be conscious of its own individual 

 existence, that is, self-consciousness; this is one idea. To main- 

 tain existence is the succeeding second idea; the selection of the 

 proper object, which is required for its existence, is the succeed-
