About This Publication

The Development of Seership: Hindoo and Oriental Methods explains clairvoyance, intuition, and extrasensory perception as natural abilities everyone has, not supernatural gifts. The book aims to make these topics clear and accessible.

The book describes awakening the inner eye as an important step in human growth. It gives readers a clear method to develop these abilities through mental training and moral living. A key part of the practice is learning to enter a deep meditative state called “the Silence.” In this state, one turns away from physical senses to sense subtle thoughts and energies. The book also introduces tools like crystal-gazing, explaining that the crystal is simply a focus point to steady attention, calm the eyes, and activate the mind’s visual centers.

This training helps students see past, present, and future events more clearly and guides them in exploring spiritual experiences safely. The book strongly stresses the importance of personal morality. It warns that using psychic abilities for selfish reasons can harm one’s spirit and encourages readers to use these skills for self-improvement, helping others, and understanding the soul’s lasting nature.
