ing, _intensely interesting_ on Tuesday,
_interesting_ on Wednesday, and _quite pleasant_ on Thursday, but by the
end of the week it would be getting normal, and you would want to
discover some other new power. No, believe me, the real question is not
_flying_, but WHERE you would fly, and WHAT YOU WOULD DO WHEN YOU GOT
THERE."

This sums up the case in a nut shell, and seems to me only another way
of saying: "Don't forget the spiritual significance beneath the
scientific symbol."

And I would add: "Let us all join hands in the interesting and absorbing
work of trying to make our symbols as scientific as we can, by finding
out the laws which govern them, as well as all other things, in this
universe of Love and Law. Probably we are here to learn, above all
things else, that Love and Law are ONE."

Many people have had far more remarkable experiences than mine. For
various good reasons I have carefully abstained from any attempt to
cultivate, or in any way increase, the sensitiveness which is natural to
me.

I can only assure my readers that my record has been absolutely
accurate. In many cases it would have been very easy to write up the
stories into some far more dramatic form; but by doing so the whole aim
and object of my book would have been destroyed.

I wanted to trace the thread of what we at present consider abnormal,
through the whole skein of a single life, hoping thereby to encourage
others to do the same.

It is only by putting these things down, if not for publication, then in
some diary or commonplace book, that we can realise how far our normal
life is, even now and here, interpenetrated by another plane of
existence.

And so farewell to all kind readers who have followed me to the end of
my personal record of curious events--curious chiefly by reason of our
present imperfect knowledge.

APPENDIX

I

Much has been said of the folly and triviality of all messages coming,
or purporting to come, from the Unseen. I think here, as elsewhere, like
clings to like, and we get very much what we deserve; or rather, to put
it in a more philosophical and Emersonian way, we receive _what belongs
to us_.

Emerson tells us in one of his most illuminating passages, that
everything which belongs to our spiritual estate is coming to us as
quickly as it can travel. All the winds of heaven, all the waves of
earth, are bringing it to us, and neither angel nor
