Satan Controls the Mind That Controls.--To advocate the science of mind cure is opening a door through which Satan will enter to take possession of mind and heart. Satan controls both the mind that is given up to be controlled by another and the mind that controls. May God help us to understand the true science of building on Christ, our Saviour and Redeemer.--Lt 130, 1901. (HC 109.) 710 {2MCP 709.3} Satan Cannot Touch the Mind Not Surrendered to Him.--The interests most vital to you individually are in your own keeping. No one can damage them without your consent. All the satanic legions cannot injure you unless you open your soul to the arts and arrows of Satan. Your ruin can never take place until your will consents. If there is not pollution of mind in yourself, all the surrounding pollution cannot taint or defile you.--Lt 14, 1885. (HC 94.) {2MCP 710.1} Satan cannot touch the mind or intellect unless we yield it to him.--MS 17, 1893. (6BC 1105.) {2MCP 710.2} Not the Faith of Jesus.--An acceptance of the truth of heavenly origin brings the mind into subjection to Christ. Then the health of soul which comes from receiving and following pure principles is revealed in words and works of righteousness. The faith which leads to this is not the faith which believes in mind controlling mind till one person acts out the will of another. Church members having confidence in this science may be called sound in the faith, but it is not the faith of Jesus Christ. Theirs is a faith in the work which Satan is doing. He presents gigantic errors, and by the miracles which he works he deceives many. This work he will do more and more. A healthy church is composed of healthy members, of men and women who have a personal experience in true godliness.--Lt 130, 1901. {2MCP 710.3} BOOKS / 2MCP - Mind, Character, and Personality Volume 2 (1977) / Chap. 79 - Hypnotism and its Dangers [SEE CHAPTER 78, "MIND CONTROLLING MIND."] Chap. 79 - Hypnotism and its Dangers [SEE CHAPTER 78, "MIND CONTROLLING MIND."] Be on Guard.--In these days when skepticism and infidelity so often appear in a scientific garb, we need to be guarded on every hand. Through this means our great adversary is deceiving thousands and leading them captive according to his will. The advantage he takes of the sciences, sciences which pertain to the human mind, is tremendous. Here, serpentlike, he imperceptibly creeps in to corrupt the work of God. {2MCP 711.1} This entering in of Satan through the sciences is well devised. Through the channel of phrenology, psychology, [NOTE: IN APPRAISING FAIRLY THIS USE OF THE WORD PSYCHOLOGY EMPLOYED BY THE AUTHOR, THE READER SHOULD TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ITS CONNOTATIONS AND ASSOCIATIONS IN THE 1850'S
THROUGH THE 1880'S, OFTEN BEING LINKED WITH MESMERISM (HYPNOSIS) AND PHRENOLOGY. SEE EXPLANATORY NOTE ON PAGES 720 & 721 OF THIS CHAPTER. SEE ALSO CHAPTER 2, "THE CHRISTIAN AND PSYCHOLOGY," AND CHAPTER 3, "DANGERS IN PSYCHOLOGY."] and mesmerism, he comes more directly to the people of this generation and works with that power which is to characterize his efforts near the close of probation. The minds of thousands have thus been poisoned and led into infidelity. {2MCP 711.2} While it is believed that one human mind so wonderfully 712 affects another, Satan, who is ready to press every advantage, insinuates himself and works on the right hand and on the left. And while those who are devoted to these sciences laud them to the heavens because of the great and good works which they affirm are wrought by them, they little know what a power for evil they are cherishing; but it is a power which will yet work with all signs and lying wonders--with all deceivableness of unrighteousness. Mark the influence of these sciences, dear reader, for the conflict between Christ and Satan is not yet ended.... {2MCP 711.3} Neglect of prayer leads men to rely on their own strength and opens the door to temptation. In many cases the imagination is captivated by scientific research, and men are flattered through the consciousness of their own powers. The sciences which treat of the human mind are very much exalted. They are good in their place, [SEE EXPLANATORY NOTE ON PAGES 720 AND 721.] but they are seized upon by Satan as his powerful agents to deceive and destroy souls. His arts are accepted as from heaven, and he thus receives the worship which suits him well. The world, which is supposed to be benefited so much by phrenology and animal magnetism, never was so corrupt as now. Through these sciences, virtue is destroyed and the foundations of spiritualism are laid.--ST, Nov 6, 1884. (2SM 351-353.) {2MCP 712.1} Mind Control Originated by Satan.--The theory of mind controlling mind was originated by Satan to introduce himself as the chief worker, to put human philosophy where divine philosophy should be. Of all the errors that are finding acceptance among professedly Christian people, none is a more dangerous deception, none more certain to separate man from God, than is this. Innocent though it may appear, if exercised upon patients, it will tend to their destruction, not to their restoration. It opens a door through which Satan will enter to take 713 possession both of the mind that is given up to be controlled by another and of the mind that controls.--MH 243 (1905). {2MCP 712.2} Satan Hypnotized Adam and Eve.--Satan tempted the first Adam in Eden, and Adam reasoned with the enemy, thus giving him the advantage.
