"The
ancient idea
that
man
is
a
microcosm,
or litde world
in
him-
sclf,
developing
in
response
to
the
Macrocosm,
or
Universe,
and
having
its
counterpart
in
his
own
being, is
a
far
more
adequate
con-
ception than the prevailing attempt
to
envisage man
as
an evolving
animal."-Dr
J.
Partoa
Milsn.
"It
is
cvident that, when
many
coincide
in
their
testimony (where no
previous
conccft
can have
taken place), the
probability resulting
from
this
concurrence
does
not
rest
on the
supposed
veracity
of
each
con-
sidered
scparately,
but
on
the
improbability
of
such
agreement
taking
place
by
chance.
For,
though
in
such a
case
the
witnesses
should
be
consideted
as
unworthy
of
credit,
...
still
the
chances
would
be
infnite
agunst
their
all
agreeing

falsehood."-Arcltbitbop

PREFACE
Lono
BvnoN
said,
"Truth
is always
strange' stranger than
fiction"'
Longfellow
declared,
"All
things
come
round
to
him who
will
but
wait."
In
these
Pages
we
shall consider a matter
that,
if
true,
is
far
stfalger
thah the
fictions
in
our
novels.
It
has
taken
halfa
century
to bring
about the
ddnouement.
Dr
Hireward
Carrington, who
died
two
or
three
years
ago'
was
one
of
the forcmost piychical
researchers
in
the
world
and
the
only
one
who (until
recent
years)
was active
in
investigating
astial
proiection
(ot
out-of-the-body
exoeriences).
In
t9-"9
le
published'a
book entitled
Higher
Pslchical
Phenomem.In
this
he
stated,
"I
epitomized everything
I
had
been
able
to
unearth
deal-
ing
with
this important
subiect
[of
astral
proiection]."
He
(op.
citl,
p.
284)
quoted
a
number
of techniques, orexercises,
designed
for
the
production
of
astral
projections,
and described the,Paper
in which
they
had been
originally
given,
namely, Journal
A.S.P.R.,
X,
1916,
pp.67z-6o;679-7o8,as
the
"excellent
work"
of Prescott
F.
Hil.
In
point
of
factthese techniques
ulere
not Hall's
(who-was
thoroughly
scePtical
concerning all psychic matters)'
but
had been
receivel
by
Hall in
"communications"
from
suppond discarnate
souls.L
Hall
had
two
friends
who
claimed
to
be
able
to
proiect their
Astral
Bodies,
ot
"doubles",
at
will.
He
wished
to
check
uP
uPon
these
claims
by
obtaining the
necessary
"know-how"
in
"com-
munications"
and
try
them
for
himself.
It
may be
added
that
the
rnedium
conccrned
knew nothing, and
cared
nothing'
about
astral
projection.
Since
1916,
when
these
"excellent"
communications
were
pub-
lished, a
numbc of
investigators,
including the
Present
writer,
r Hall
merely
gave
a
..digest" of thc
(35o pages
of)
"communications",
arranging
the
subjects metttioned
in
alphabeticd
ordet--and
thereby
confusing thc situation
consideiably. The
language
lmployed
was
that
of
the "communicators" (op,
cit"
r9r6, p.
64o):
Hysloplop. cit., i9r6,
p.
612)
dcfended this
procedurc,-saying,"It
is
,roa
*rri.r
io,rse-theierms moie
or
less as
they
came
in
the
records." Hall includcd
half
a
dozen
sentences
of preliminary
and
incidental obsetvations only.
Thc
"cxcel-
lcnt
wotk"
for
which
Di
C-arrington
expressed
his
indebtedness
to
Hall
must
b€
ciedited
to"comm*ricatorr"!
\7ha1 was
their
nature?
Although this
can
ncvcr
bc
"scientifically proved",
it
may
well
be a
matter
of
practical
ccrainty.
