may be found in the principal libraries of the country.
It is by means of this fact of telepathy that the “absent healing” of the
Mental Scientists and others are performed when they are not occasioned
by direct verbal suggestion, which factor must not be overlooked.
The principle of mental healing lies in the fact that the central mind
controls the bodily functions—or the mind manifesting through the organs,
cells and parts of the body. The latter respond to the mental states of the
central mind and anything affecting the latter naturally affects the former.
The healer endeavors to establish in the central mind of the patient a normal
condition of mental attitude. This normal mental attitude is one in which the
individual recognizes his mastery of the body, and of his entire system. This
mental attitude when once acquired will prevent disease and will restore
health when disease has once set in. Its healing power depends upon the
degree of realization of the supremacy of mind manifested by the person.
Now this realization is imperfect in the average sick person who has
allowed himself to sink gradually down to the lower planes of the mind and
has allowed his realization to become impaired from some one or more
of various causes. Here is where the healer comes into use and service. He
has kept his mind positive and keen, and has trained himself in the science
of thought-transmission. Therefore when called upon to treat a patient he
raises his “vibrations” until they reach the proper stage, when he transmits
them to the mind of the patient, the result being that the vibrations are
reproduced there, and the consequence is that the mind of the patient
reacts upon the mind principle animating the parts, organs and cells—the
instinctive mind, in fact, and gradually reestablishes normal conditions.
The various schools of mental healing have a variety of theories to account
for their healing, but we think that the above will be found to cover all
the general ideas and theories—and in fact, to account for what happens,
irrespective of metaphysical theories, and in spite of some of them. There is
