The seeress of Prevorst revelations concerning the inner-life of man
The following phenomena are similar to those known of persons who could read what was laid on the pit of the stomach, or else, by the sense of feeling, obtained a knowledge of it.
I gave Mrs. H two pieces of paper, carefully folded: “There is no God.”
I put them into her left hand, when she was apparently awake, and asked her if she felt any difference between them.
After a pause, she returned me the first and said, “This gives me a sensation, the other feels like a void.”
I repeated the experiment four times, and always with the same result.
I then wrote on a piece of paper, “There are spectres,” and on another, “There are no spectres.”
She laid the first on the pit of her stomach and held the other in her hand, and read them both.
I then wrote, “You have seen B.”
When she laid the paper on the pit of her stomach, she said it made her sad; and although, when she afterwards read the contents, she could see no reason for it, yet the experiment, repeated, produced the same effect.
Some years afterwards, when I laid a folded letter from this person in her hand, though she had no idea what it was, the result was the same; and similar effects were produced by his presence.
Many curious experiments of the same sort all tended to the conviction that writings or drawings placed on the pit of her stomach produced sensible effects according to their nature.
Good news of her child made her laugh—ill news made her sad; the name of a person who was her enemy awakened anger; and the name of Napoleon excited martial ideas, and she sang a march.
Strange as these results are, repeated experiments confirmed them; and, however difficult to believe, they are absolute facts.
As is usually the case with sleep-wakers, Mrs. H could clearly distinguish the internal organs of the body, especially when diseased.
She saw distinctly the course of the nerves and could describe them anatomically.
A magnetic wand with an iron point, held to her right eye and directed to any distant object, magnified it exceedingly.
The smallest star appeared as large as the moon, and the moon so large that she could distinguish the different bright spots.
But she could only discern the right side of it; the left was invisible to her.
She said that the dwellers on the left side of the moon were much engaged with building and not so happy as those on the right.
I told her I thought this was mere dreaming, but she denied it and said that her sleep-waking was a state of perfect vigilance.
It is much to be regretted that these observations were made at a time that the Sherwin was unable to leave her bed, and a long contemplation of the heavenly bodies was out of her power.
When she saw people who had lost a limb, she still saw the limb attached to the body; that is, she saw the nerve-projected-form of the limb in the same way that she saw the nerve-projected-forms of dead persons.
From this interesting phenomenon, we may perhaps explain the sensations of persons who still have feeling in a limb that has been amputated: the invisible nerve-projected-form of the limb is still in connection with the visible body; and this is a satisfactory proof that after the destruction of the visible husk, the form is preserved by the nerve spirit.
The old Theosophist, Stinger, says, “The earthly husk remains in the retort, whilst the volatile essence ascends, like a spirit, perfect in form, but void of substance.” ~Andreas Justinus C. Kerner, The seeress of Prevorst [F. Hauffe] revelations concerning the
inner-life of man, Page 63-65
