He must endeavour to understand what has occurred, seeking to substantiate his understanding by scientific methods. Not that there are no genuine manifestations of this order; there are. Telepathy and telementation, clairvoyance and clairaudience, revelation and inspiration are actual facts in Nature, which means that they are not really supernatural but are spontaneous workings of little-known powers of the human mind. But they happen much less frequently than occultists believe, and what mostly passes for them are the workings of disordered impressions and philosophically untrained thoughts.
