What we now call\\npsychology, and study as we would electricity or mathe-\\nmatics without prejudice, fear or superstition in order to\\nuse it in the every day matters of life, in making busi-\\nness transactions, in curing disease, or merely for amuse-\\nment, was at one time called blackart and those using\\nit, in their imperfect understanding of the law, were re-\\ngarded as the servants of the devil using a diabolical\\npower. It has been called witch-craft and in our own\\nenlightened America, women have been burned at the\\nstake for using but very little of the power explained in\\nthese instructions. In its various forms and uses it has\\nbeen known as Cure by Holy Relics, Hypnotism, Mes-\\nmerism, etc., etc. As a rule those using the power\\nwere as ignorant of its true origin, force and limitations\\nas their enemies. In all its forms it has been doubted\\nand feared. It has been the tool of fakirs, humbugs and\\ncharlatans who abused what they understood of it as\\nwell as suffering unjust and undeserved attacks and\\nabuse from those who knew nothing of it.\\nTo the mind of any reasonable man it is plain, after\\na little investigation along this line, that there is, or has\\n5", "height": "3929", "width": "2371", "jp2-path": "practicalpsychol00eady_0015.jp2"}, "16": {"fulltext": "been, something in all these historical, traditional and\\npresent fads, fancies, theories, and religions known as\\nwitch-craft, blackart, cure by miracles, healing by the\\nkings touch, spiritualistic manifestation, faith cures,\\ncure by Christian science, hypnotism, mesmerism, etc.\\nOur present object is to give an explanation of\\nthe true force or power manifested in these cases.

This is a logical\\nway of establishing the truth of a theory. The hypothe-\\nsis taken in studying psychology is as follows: Man is a\\ndual being, that is he has two distinct and separate minds.\\nOne is called the objective mind, and the other the\\nsubjective mind. Each mind has its exclusive field\\neach has its own work to perform and each has its own\\nconsciousness. The objective mind is the mind, the\\nthought, or the consciousness produced by the brain cell\\naction. It is a part or a product of the physical body.\\nIt is the reasoning power which controls and directs our\\nordinary actions. It is the part of man s brain that can\\nbe educated. It is the intellect and is that reasoning\\nfaculty which enables man to reason out the problems\\nof life and arrive at logical conclusions. All its impres-\\nsions are obtained through the five senses, seeing, hear-\\ning, tasting, smelling and feeling. The subjective mind\\nis the finer, more ethereal part of man s consciousness.\\nIt is the God part it has powers and faculties not pos-\\nsessed by the objective or physical mind.

In a person in a normal state\\nit is not in the ascendency or control, it is beneath the\\nsurface and its existence frequently not realized though\\nit is not inactive or inert by any means. A common\\nway in which its existence is made known to almost\\nevery one is in what we call conscience. It is the still\\nsmall voice which tells us right from wrong.\\nSometimes it makes its presence known by reason\\nof a sudden liking or distaste for another person; that is,\\na feeling of pleasure or distaste not arising from any\\ncause we can explain from no particular impression\\ngained through the senses.\\nThe subjective mind never sleeps never becomes\\ntired never ceases to perforin its functions. It controls\\nall the involuntary actions of the body action of the\\nlungs, heart, digestive organs, etc. Impressions are\\nmade on the subjective mind only by suggestion. In a\\nperson in a normal state the impression or suggestion\\ncomes through the objective mind that is the objective\\nmind observes all things and conditions surrounding the\\nbody, which is possible through the five senses. It rea-\\nsons out the conclusions and then the impression or sug-\\ngestion is made on the subjective mind according to the\\nconclusion reached this is when in the normal state.\\nBut in certain conditions the objective mind is passive;\\nis out of the way, as it were, ceases to stand between the\\nsubjective mind and external things. In this state a\\nconclusion suggested to an individual reaches his sub-\\njective mind direct and is acted on as though the fact\\nor conclusion stated had come through the regular chan-\\nnel of the objective mind.

Now man is a dual being; each individual is a\\ncombination of the spiritual man or soul and a material\\nman or body which includes the objective mind. By\\nwisest combination of these two natures, each doing its\\nappointed part, and each exercising a proper control and\\nrestraint over the other, we attain the perfect human\\nlife.

This ac-\\ncounts for the healing of all disease by suggestion. Di-\\nsease can be created in the same way. The important\\nthing now is to know how to make suggestions on the\\nsubjective mind.

These suggestions are\\nof various kinds and are known to every one; getting\\ncold while asleep will cause dreams of winter; indiges-\\ntion will cause a nightmare, dreams of being trampled\\non by monsters, etc. That dreams are effected by the\\nconditions and surroundings of the sleeper is known to\\nall.

The success\\nof all the persons treating under the different S} T stems,\\ntheories and beliefs, shows that it makes no difference\\nwhat name you may give to the application of a mental\\nsuggestion, nor what theory you may have to account\\nfor its effect, the result will be the same. The whole\\nexplanation of all the cures wrought by all the advo-\\ncates of Christian Science, faith cure, etc., is simply\\nthis; man is a dual being, possessed of an objective and\\na subjective mind. The objective mind is the one con-\\ntrolling all the voluntary actions, it is the mind by\\nwhich we do business; it operates through the five\\nsenses.

On accout of some strain,\\nshock or disease, the proper restraint and control which\\nthe objective mind should have over the subjective\\nmind is not exercised. A very frequent kind of insan-\\nity is where on one subject or class of subjects the mind\\nis preverted. These cases come from some impression\\nhaving been made on the insance persons mind so\\nstrongly that it cannot be removed. Every one who is\\nin the slightest danger of going insane on account of\\nany nervous strain, shock or sorrow should gain self-\\ncontrol, which he or she can do, if they are not already\\ninsane, and when a psychic state is reached all danger\\nis passed. The mind can be controlled and directed in\\nother channels than the one which threatens to drive\\nthe sufferer insane and in that manner the mind\\nstrengthened and insanity averted.

From the very nature of this soul; its\\nseparate consciousness and its immateriality, we are\\njustified in saying it is immortal. There is no expla-\\nnation for the origin of life that meets the ideas of logic\\nnatural to the finite mind except that of a God. If\\nmen have immortal souls it seems but logical to say\\nthat a God created them. Now it is true that all of a\\nman s actions and doings as well as the very nature of\\nhis thoughts are stored in the subjective mind. That\\nthe memory of his soul is perfect. This being true is\\nit not plain that the record carried from this life, by our\\nsubjective mind the immortal part of man the soul\\n66", "height": "3929", "width": "2371", "jp2-path": "practicalpsychol00eady_0076.jp2"}, "77": {"fulltext": "will make the future a heaven or a hell for us?
