But it is in the blue light (or darkness) that the subject sees by sympathy (or odor).
It is called thought-reading, and is the state persons go into when they are "entranced by a spirit."
Then if you see a friend, the friend is formed but cannot be seen very distinctly - but is described like an apple or pear by the odor.
All this is governed by our belief.
If you believe in another world and believe your friends are with you, the belief may so affect the subject and carry him into the clairvoyant state, and if he believes in this state he sees all the living and the dead, and they are with him according to his belief.
When he awakes however, it is all dark and he is sure he has been to another world.
All this is as plain to me as daylight for daylight is clairvoyance and twilight - thought-reading.
I have been in both places with both my natural senses, have seen the sun, land, water, vessels, heard the winds blow and felt the warm breezes.
Thought-reading was known at that time, for there are many instances recorded where Jesus told them their thoughts - but clairvoyance was rare.

Thought-reading was known at that time, for there are many instances recorded where Jesus told them their thoughts - but clairvoyance was rare.
All magicians, sorcerers, witches, etc. were thought-readers.
Jesus knew that this was the extent of the wisdom of mind known to the priest and all those who pretended to cure did so on this idea.
So when Jesus saw beyond their thoughts, he must be something beyond this power.
Thought-reading is what we call "knowledge," but Clairvoyance is Wisdom.
The difference is this: the clairvoyant sees by his own light, the thought-reader by the light of another.
Therefore Jesus is called the Light of the World.
Light means that state of Wisdom outside of the wisdom of man or thought-reading.
It is Science.
Throught-reading is imagination or reasoning.
So when we say a man imagines this or that, it means nothing except that he believes what someone has told him.
God is the embodiment of Light (or Clairvoyance) and to His Light all is a mere nothing.
I have been for the last twenty years investigating clairvoyance and mesmerism, and it has opened my eyes to facts that have not come to the world as yet.
Now these experiments convinced me that man has the power of creating ideas and making them so dense that they could be seen by a subject that was mesmerized.
So I used to create objects and make him describe them.
At last I could take persons to all appearance in the waking state and make them see anything I chose.
Quimby used the term subject for the person mesmerized/hypnotised: Lucius Burkmar.
The implication here is the person being hypnotized or guided into a relaxed state can be influenced by the hypnotist or person doing the guided meditation. **
Quimby documented well. 12,000 + subjects and 20 years experience.
