  • Well, the clairvoyant is able to do this. —  Clairvoyance and Occult Powers
  • While they find it comparatively easy to see how by astral vision the clairvoyant is able to sense events happening at that moment, though thousands of miles away from the observer, they cannot at first understand how one can "see" a thing no longer in existence, but which disappeared from sight thousands of years ago. —  Clairvoyance and Occult Powers
  • But, still, even the ordinary clairvoyant is able to secure results which are wonderful enough in all truth, and which far transcend the power of the person functioning on the physical plane alone Past-time clairvoyance is frequently induced by means of psychometry, in which the clairvoyant is able to have "the loose end" to unwind the ball of time. —  Clairvoyance and Occult Powers
  • But, still, in some cases the clairvoyant is able to get en rapport with the astral records of past-time by the ordinary methods of meditation, etc. The main obstacle in the last mentioned case is the difficulty of coming in contact with the exact period of past-time sought for--in psychometry, the vibrations of the "associated object" supplies the missing-link Lacking the "associated object," the clairvoyant may obtain the link by bringing into the imagination some associated scene of that time--something else that happened about the same time. —  Clairvoyance and Occult Powers
  • For instance, the picture of a certain building or personage, or historical happening, may give the key to the mystery In very high forms of past-time clairvoyance, the clairvoyant is able not only to perceive the actual happenings of the past, but also to actually sense the thought and feelings of the actors therein--for these, too, are recorded on the astral plane. —  Clairvoyance and Occult Powers
