Society of Metaphysicians
Society of Metaphysicians
British organization devoted to a science of unity between physical and psychical fields, founded by J. J. Williamson, an electronic engineer, in 1948. Williamson experienced such psychic abilities as astral projection, also known as out-of-the-body travel, and clairvoyance at an early age, and in later life attempted to find a basis for integrating such faculties with normal physical science. An early associate of the society was "Oliver Fox" (Hugh G. Callaway ), pioneer of astral projection, who prepared a mail-order course on the subject for the society.
The society commenced by experimenting in such areas as out-of-the-body travel, aura studies, and dowsing, and later explored biofeedback phenomena. The society concentrates largely on postal courses in conjunction with a mail-order business for books and such psychic appliances as aura goggles for viewing the human aura (as described in the books of Walter J. Kilner and Oscar Bagnall ). It is headquartered at Archers Ct., Stonestile Ln., The Ridge, Hastings, East Sussex, England.
