The Law of Psychic Phenomena by Thomson Jay Hudson

A groundbreaking exploration of the mind’s hidden powers and the scientific principles behind psychic experiences.

First published in 1892, The Law of Psychic Phenomena presents Thomson Jay Hudson’s influential theory of the “dual mind”—the conscious and the subconscious—and its role in explaining hypnosis, telepathy, spiritualism, and other paranormal phenomena. Rejecting superstition while embracing empirical observation, Hudson sought to reconcile science and the seemingly supernatural through psychological and philosophical analysis.

Drawing on case studies, experiments, and personal insight, Hudson’s work became a foundational text in early psychical research and mind science movements. His ideas would go on to influence fields as diverse as psychology, hypnosis, metaphysics, and New Thought spirituality.

A fascinating and accessible classic for readers interested in the history of psychology, the paranormal, and the power of the subconscious mind.
