Spiritual Perception

All consciousness of ordinary sensation through the five senses is in reality Perception. Psychometric perception is a spiritual process—it is first-hand cognition of the soul by the soul. It is the perception and interpretation of those vibrations which produce sensation in the inner self and touch the soul-side of us directly. By this means we can indeed exercise the gift of 'discerning' the spirits (minds and dispositions) of men; and by the extension of the same soul faculties we may veritably become clairvoyant and see spirit people, and exercise a beneficent influence upon those who come within our sphere.
