Resolution 56
Spiritualism, Christian Science, Theosophy
We recognise that new phenomena of consciousness have been presented to us, which claim, and at the hands of competent psychologists have received, cared investigation, and, as far as possible, the application of scientific method. But such scientific researches have confessedly not reached an advanced stage, and we are supported by the best psychologists in warning our people against accepting as final theories which further knowledge may disprove, and still more against the indiscriminate and undisciplined exercise of psychic powers, and the habit of recourse to seances, "seers", and mediums.
