'message' upon B. If, however, A. was of necessity experimenting under
difficulty--say walking out of doors--he would occasionally see his
'forms' broken up into smaller globes, or shapes, such as 50, 51, 52,
and B. would report their receipt so broken up. In this way many
details could be checked and compared as from opposite ends of the line,
and the nature of the influence communicated offered another means of
verification. Upon one occasion A. was disturbed in his endeavour to
send a thought of the blue-pink connotation, by a feeling of anxiety
that the nature of the pink element should not be misapprehended. The
report of B. was that a well-defined globe as in Fig. 54 was first seen,
but that this suddenly disappeared, being replaced by a moving
procession of little light-green triangles, as in Fig. 53. These few
drawings give but a slight idea of the varied flower-like and geometric
forms seen, while neither paint nor crayon-work seems capable of
representing the glowing beauty of their living colours."

FORMS BUILT BY MUSIC

Before closing this little treatise it will perhaps be of interest to
our readers to give a few examples of another type of forms unknown to
those who are confined to the physical senses as their means of
obtaining information. Many people are aware that sound is always
associated with colour--that when, for example, a musical note is
sounded, a flash of colour corresponding to it may be seen by those
whose finer senses are already to some extent developed. It seems not to
be so generally known that sound produces form as well as colour, and
that every piece of music leaves behind it an impression of this nature,
which persists for some considerable time, and is clearly visible and
intelligible to those who have eyes to see. Such a shape is perhaps not
technically a thought-form--unless indeed we take it, as we well may,
as the result of the thought of the composer expressed by means of the
skill of the musician through his instrument.

Some such forms are very striking and impressive, and naturally their
variety is infinite. Each class of music has its own type of form, and
th
