The Law of Psychic Phenomena

by Thomson Jay Hudson

Overview

The Law of Psychic Phenomena by Thomson Jay Hudson is a pioneering work of psychical research, offering a rational and systematic framework for understanding hypnosis, telepathy, mediumship, and mental healing. Hudson introduces the "dual mind" theory, dividing human consciousness into objective (logical) and subjective (intuitive) faculties, and explains how this model can account for paranormal phenomena without invoking the supernatural. Balancing scientific skepticism with open-minded inquiry, Hudson's work helped shape early psychology, spiritualism, and mind science movements. A landmark of rational occultism, this book still resonates with those exploring the boundaries between mind, science, and spirit.

About the Author

Thomson Jay Hudson, born in 1834 and passing in 1903, was an American lawyer, lecturer, and early theorist in the field of psychology and parapsychology. Best known for his influential work The Law of Psychic Phenomena, Hudson proposed a dual-mind theory — distinguishing between the objective and subjective mind — as a framework for understanding hypnosis, telepathy, and spiritualist experiences. His ideas became widely popular in the early New Thought and psychical research communities. Though not formally trained as a scientist, Hudson’s lucid and methodical style brought fringe concepts into public discourse.
