Automatic Speaking and Writing: AS tudy CHAPTER LA utomatic Spbakino and Writing. WE propose to start from the assumption that Automatic Speaking and Writing are ascertained facts. That is to say, that under certain circumstances, the human mouth will speak, and the human hand will write, without any conscious exercise of will power. By far the greater part of what is thus spoken and written has manifestly an intelligent source. The first great problem to be solved is Who, or what, is the intelligence at the back of the phenomena? No one who has made even a superficial study of the subject will be disposed to question the fairness of the above statement of the case. A mong the great variety of phenomena broadly classed as psychical, there is no other that appears to be so easily elicited as that of automatic writing. It would be rare to find a group of five or six persons in which a moderate amount of patience and perseverance would not develop the faculty or gift in one or more. Hence it affords great facility for study. The simplest plan is for a person to take a pencil and a sheet of paper, and sit down as if going to write a letter, but to sit passively, and see whether the hand begins to move, apparently of itself. The most frequent experience is that illegible scribblings, or endless convolutions, are made, often with considerable energy. It is as if a new force was trying to control the hand. After a few trials, definite letters, words and sentences are frequently evolved out of the chaos. A commencement is often facilitated by the hand of another person being gently laid on the hand of the person holding the pencil.
