Description

Description from Project Gutenberg

"Telepathy and the Subliminal Self" by R. Osgood Mason is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book delves into recent investigations related to hypnotism, telepathy, automatism, dreams, phantasms, and other psychical phenomena. It aims to explore and clarify the burgeoning field of psychical research amidst rising public interest and skepticism surrounding these subjects. The opening of the book presents a preface that sets the stage for the exploration of psychical research, highlighting the contrasting views between skeptical scientific circles and the curious public eager to understand phenomena like telepathy and hypnotism. Mason emphasizes the importance of approaching these subjects with an open mind, advocating for systematic inquiry into the human psyche and its unexplained powers. He introduces the reader to key concepts such as thought-transference and the history of psychical research while preparing them for in-depth discussions on various psychical experiences that challenge conventional scientific understanding.
