The problem of extraordinary psychic phenomena which sometimes arise in the course of meditation is puzzling but not insoluble. Visions may be seen, voices heard, revelations automatically written down, or conversations carried on with another entity. We propose to deal here with authentic phenomena and not with cases of insanity, epilepsy, hysteria, and neuroticism, which unfortunately get mixed up with mystical aspiration and, unjustly but not unreasonably, bring censure down on mysticism itself.
