To the ordinary \u201cman in the street\u201d thought is an \u201cairy nothing \u201c\u2013a mere flash in the consciousness\u2013it comes, it goes, and there is an end to it.<\/p>\n
To the student of Mind, however, thought is known to be the power that is greater than any other power\u2013a force that controls all other forces. An American writer speaking of the Universal Mind says:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt thinks, and Suns spring into shape; It wills, and Worlds disintegrate; It loves and Souls are born.\u201d<\/p>\n
It will thus be seen that thought is the origin of the visible Universe. All that we see around us is the result of thought.<\/p>\n
We may even go further, and say that all the invisible forces, which keep the wonderful machinery of the Universe working perfectly and smoothly, are but the thought energies of the same Universal Mind.<\/p>\n
As in the macrocosm so is it in the microcosm; the subliminal mind of man is the same as the Universal Mind of the Universe; the difference is not one of a kind but of degree.<\/p>\n
In our world, our circumstances, our life, our bodies, we stand supreme, or rather we have within us the power, which is properly directed, can make us supreme.<\/p>\n
This power is \u201cThought.\u201d Thought is so subtle, so elusive, that it has by the majority of men, been considered impossible to control, but the greatest philosophers, seers and leaders in the World\u2019s history have known differently.<\/p>\n
All that they achieved, they accomplished through the power of thought; and this was possible because they had learned the art of thought control.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat man has done, man can do.\u201d This was never so true as it is today because the science of Mind is now being spread abroad, and that it is possible for quite ordinary people to learn how to control their thoughts, is now known to be a scientific possibility.<\/p>\n
Dr Abrams in his epoch-making book entitled \u201cNew Concepts in Diagnosis and Treatment; The Practical Application of the Electrotonic Theory in the Interpretation and Treatment of Disease,\u201d describes how he discovered the energy of thought and measured it using an instrument called the Bio-dynamometer.<\/p>\n
With one subject in a room with closed doors and another subject, in another room, forty or more feet away, it was found that one subject could affect the other by a definite exercise of thought. Anger and emotion yielded energy which produced an effect at a distance of eighty feet.<\/p>\n
Dr Abrams also found that there arts three great energy centres in the human body, the right and left sides of the brain, called by him the right and left psychomotor areas; and the fingertips. When the brain is actively engaged in thought there is an increase in the discharge of energy from the psychomotor areas, and also from the fingertips.<\/p>\n
It was also found that ordinary people discharged energy from one psychomotor area only, but a great thinker discharged energy from both.<\/p>\n
The amount of energy discharged in this way can be gauged by the fact that Edward Markham, the poet, discharged energy from his left psychomotor area alone equal to a resistance of sixty ohms.<\/p>\n
As the energy discharged from a giant magnet with a lifting capacity of 400 lbs. to the square inch is only thirty-two ohms, we can form some idea of the immense power of thought that man possesses.<\/p>\n
The flow of energy from the fingertips is also suggestive. In all ages the laying on of hands has been recognized as a healing act, now it is proved by scientific means to have been simply the power or energy of thought.<\/p>\n
You will therefore see that \u201cthought\u201d so far from being \u201can airy nothing\u201d or a mere flash in the consciousness is a wonderful and potent force, the most wonderful and potent force of which we know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
