If spirita can communicate with us and with each other, would it not be possible for human beings on earth to hold intercourse with each other in the same kind of "way?
It seems very probable, as Swedenborg -long ago asserted that spirits communicate with sach other without audible speech but through some process of thought-transference or, Es we call it, telepathy, Language is an imperfect and clumsy instrument for transferring our ideas, and telepathy would be far preferable, But we do not know at present all the conditions upon which telepathy depends, and therefore we cannot use it at pleasure. It is possible future investigation of this subject may enable us to use telepathy. Doubtless, telepathy between minds here or beyond the veil is the true explanation of inspiration and the communion of saints in which all Christians

A MORE CONVINCING MESSAGE
As I had never seen or even thought of this girl since she married two and a half years before. I was naturally much astonished; though the message. of course, was in no sense evidential, for she may have, and probably had, heard of the death of my son through her sister, who, as I said, was my brother's cook housekeeper. So I requested that if my boy appeared again to her, he would send me something that really would prove his identity.
