"It has been my good fortune?for so I regard it?to know a number of people who have
their subtler senses, to a greater or less degree, more fully developed than is normally the
case, and also to be intimate with a few whose power of response to extra-normal ranges
of impression, vibration, or stimulation (or whatever may be the more correct term) may
be said to be, as far as my experience goes, highly developed. These latter are my
personal friends, whom I have known for many years, and with whom I have been most
closely associated.
>From long knowledge of their characters, often under very trying circumstances, I have no
reason to believe they are trying to deceive me, and every reason to believe in their good
faith. They certainly would have nothing to gain by practising, if it were possible, any
concerted imposition upon me, and everything to lose. For, on the one hand, my devotion
to the studies I pursue, and the work upon which I am engaged, is entirely independent of
individuals and their pronouncements, and, on the other, my feeling of responsibility to
humanity in general is such, that I should not have the slightest hesitation in openly
proclaiming a fraud, were I to discover any attempt at it, especially in matters which I hold
to be more than ordinarily sacred for all who profess to be lovers of truth and labourers
for our common welfare. Nor again is there any question here of their trying to influence
some prospective "follower," either of themselves, or of some particular sect, for we are
more or less contemporaries in similar studies, and one of our common ideals is the
desirability of breaking down the boundary walls of sectarianism."
