INDIAN WHO
·COULD NOT BE
PHOTOGRAPHED
An Indian, who could not be photographed was one of the Eastern mysteries discussed by Major G. H. Rooke in a lecture on "Indian Occultism," to the East India Association, at the Caxton Hall, London, recently.
A friend in the Indian political service, he said, had an experi- ence which was more difficult to explain than a rope-trick.
"He wanted to take a photograph of a group of Indians, one of whom was obviously disinclined to be photographed." Ultimately he con- sented to stand in the group, but remarked, 'You cannot photograph me, sahib
"The photograph was taken and came out perfectly, with the soli- tary exception of the individual concerned, for where he had stood with the others there was nothing to be seen but a blank space.”
The rope trick was most famous of all, and certain accounts" of it
seemed to furnish conclusive evid ence as to its essentially psycho- logical character. The same might be said of other illusions, including the mango and basket. tricks.
Cnses of levitation nearly alwaya appeared to have been involuntary, but it was claimed that the Indian ascetic could levitate himself
will.
Secret Techniqua
nt
A secret technique was negded to the conditions of trances attain known in the Indian occult systems,
and the practices wore attended by serious dangers to those who had not gone through prolonged "train-" ing.
Control of the vital force of the physical organism appeared to be 4ho main secret, and enabled one to leave the physical body at will.
There were good reasons for supposing that knowledge of it was not originally confined to India but was practically world-wide, Major Rooke said. "This is evidenced by the universality of the swastika emblem, which is its symbol, de- picting revolving, flaming crose. It looks as though this secret was at one time possessed by the Christian Church."
Major Rooke quoted examples of the swastika emblem on a tomb in Winchester Cathedral and at a Hampalire church.
Lord Mansfield, who presided, divided the phenomena described into two classes. There was, he said, the trick that was purely illusory and in whith the conjuror exercised his will-power to such an extent that he gave his audience the impression that he was climb- ing a rope whereas, in point of fact, he was quietly sitting on the ground.
Lord Mansfield advocated in Buch cases the wider use of the camera, and particularly the cine camera, in order to detect such frauds.
