The investigation of modern psychology in the field of clairvoyance, precognition (proph- ecy), psychokinesis (effect of mind on mat ter) and extrasensory perception have shown that man does not consist of this material body only, but there is something behind and beyond it: psychologists call it the "mind" (which is different from the physical brain). Religion calls it the "soul." It is only a matter of ter- minology. b.

Para-psychology works together with spiritualism in modern psychical investigations. The following are some scientists who did some research in this field. Sir Oliver Lodge (Winner of Rumford medal of the R.S., President of the Physical Society of London, and of the British Association for Advancement of Science).

He stated that: "Speaking for myself with full and cautious responsibility I have to state that as an outcome of my investiga- tion into psychical matters, 1 have at length and quite gradually become convinced, after more than thirty years of study, not only that persist- ent existence is a fact, but that occasional communication across the chasm - with dif- ficulty and under definite conditions - is possible.

The evidence has thoroughly convinced me (i) of human survival, (ii) of the possibility under favourable circumstances, of communica- tion between the dead and living, (iii) that death is only an episode in continuous existence.

I also think it fairly established that some kind of help, guidance or inspiration reaches us at times across what is sometimes called `the gulf or through what is often called `the veil.' " Professor Hart (in his book "The Enigma of Survival") who was quoting Lodge said: "The hypothesis of continued existence in another set of condition, and of a possible communica- tion across the boundary is not a gratuitous one made for the sake of comfort and consola- tion or because of a dislike to the idea of extinc- tion; it is a hypothesis which has been gradually forced upon the author - as upon many other persons - by the stringent coercion of definite experience; the foundation of atomic theory is to him no stronger.
