Excerpt: “Nearly everyone has had evidences of Mind Reading or Thought Transference in his or her own life. Nearly every one has had experiences of being in a person’s company when one of the two would make a remark and the other, somewhat startled, would exclaim, ‘Why, that’s just what I was going to say, ‘ or words to that effect. Nearly every one has had experiences of knowing what a second person was going to say before the person spoke. And, likewise common is the experience of thinking of a person a few moments before the person came into sight. Many of us have suddenly found ourselves thinking of a person who had been out of our minds for months, or years, when all of a sudden the person himself would appear. These instances are so common as to be generally recognized, without question. These occurrences have given rise to the two common ‘sayings, ‘ viz., ‘Speak of the devil and his imps appear, ‘ or ‘Speak of angels and you hear the rustle of their wings.’”
