Q. Would you explain the strong concentrated effort for automatic writing, and the appreciation of it? A. The inclination for automatic writing comes from the mediumistic tendency. A person who has a mediumistic tendency is naturally inclined to automatic writing. The reason is that by automatic writing he begins to feel in connection. He forms a connection with some souls floating in the air. It does not matter which soul he contacts; from that soul he begins to take its reflection, and then he begins to put it on the paper. There are some, who, if they once become interested in one soul on the other side, and the soul on the other side becomes interested in this particular soul, then there is formed a continual communication. Then it is natural that day and night, or often in the day or night a communication is established.
