uthorities. I quote these cases not merely for their own interesting
features, but also to give you an idea of how remarkable some of these
instances are; and also to give you a clear conception of the way in which
this form of clairvoyance tends to manifest itself.

Before passing on to these interesting cases, however, I wish to remind
you that in future-time clairvoyance, as well as in past-time
clairvoyance, the phenomenon may be manifested in many ways and according
to several methods. That is to say, that in future-time clairvoyance the
vision may come in the state of meditation or reverie; it may come along
the lines of psychometry, some associated object or person supplying the
connecting link; or, again, it may come as the result of crystal-gazing,
etc. This is as we might naturally expect, for this form of clairvoyance
is merely one special and particular phase of clairvoyance in general, and
of course, comes under the general laws and rules governing all
clairvoyant phenomena.

Future-time clairvoyance, prevision and second-sight may, like any other
form of clairvoyance, be developed and unfolded, by means of the same
rules and methods that I have already suggested to you in the preceding
lessons. It is all a matter of attention, application, patience, exercise
and practice. I may say, however, that the strong desire and wish for the
perception of future events, held firmly in mind during the practicing and
exercising, will tend to unfold and develop the clairvoyant faculties in
this particular direction. Strong desire, and earnest attention in the
desired direction, will do much to cultivate, develop and unfold any
psychic faculty.

Just as meditation and reverie about past times and things tend to develop
past-time clairvoyance, so will meditation and reverie about future time
and things tend to develop prevision and the seeing of future things.
This, indeed, is the very first step toward the attainment of this form of
clairvoyance. The attention clears the psychic path, over which the astral
faculties travel. In the astral, as on the physical, the rule is: always
look where you are going--look ahead on the path over which you wish to
travel.

LESSON XIII.

SECOND-SIGHT, PREVISION, ETC.

Notwithstanding the difficulties in the way of an intelligent explanation
of the phenomena of future-time clairvoyance, second-sight, prevision,
etc., of which I have spoken in the preceding lesson, the human
