Clairvoyance and Materialization: A Record of Experiments (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169797468)

Clairvoyance and Materialization: A Record of Experiments is a book written by Gustave Geley, a French physician and psychical researcher. The book documents a series of experiments conducted by Geley and his colleagues, aimed at investigating the phenomena of clairvoyance and materialization.The experiments involved the use of mediums who claimed to possess psychic abilities, including the ability to see and communicate with spirits, and the ability to produce physical manifestations of these spirits. Geley and his team conducted a series of tests on these mediums, including the use of blindfolds and other methods to eliminate the possibility of fraud or deception.The book presents the results of these experiments in detail, including descriptions of the mediums' abilities, the methods used to test them, and the conclusions drawn by Geley and his colleagues. The book also includes photographs and illustrations of the experiments, as well as transcripts of the mediums' communications with spirits.Overall, Clairvoyance and Materialization: A Record of Experiments provides a fascinating insight into the world of psychical research, and offers a valuable contribution to the ongoing debate surrounding the existence of psychic abilities and the afterlife.1927. Skeptical in analysis, tireless in research, scrupulous in statement, fearless in pursuit of truth, and unmoved by the misrepresentation that pursues discoverers of vital facts, Dr. Geley's purpose in this book was to substantiate the data by the records of experimental work done by the able men who have undertaken the laborious and ungrateful task of experiment on the supernormal facts at the International Metaphysic Institute. The primary fact in subjective metaphysics is clairvoyance, and, in objective metaphysics, ectoplasm and its modifications. This work deals with each methodically and in succession as they were observed; but in the first place it is set before readers fresh to these studies the elementary principles and essential conditions of experimentation with mediums.
