Stran 97 - Upon the walls of our most private apartments, where we think the eye of intrusion is altogether shut out, and our retirement can never be profaned, there exist the vestiges of all our acts, silhouettes of whatever we have done.
Stran 24 - You never can tell what your thoughts will do, In bringing you hate or love; For thoughts are things, and their airy wings Are swifter than carrier doves. They follow the law of the universe — Each thing must create its kind, And they speed o'er the track to bring you back. Whatever went out from your mind.
Stran 26 - Hark ! the rushing snow ! The sun-awakened avalanche ! whose mass, Thrice sifted by the storm, had gathered there Flake after flake, in heaven-defying minds As thought by thought is piled, till some great truth Is loosened, and the nations echo round, Shaken to their roots, as do the mountains now.
Stran 8 - HOLD it true that thoughts are things "• Endowed with bodies, breath, and wings, And that we send them forth to fill The world with good results — or ill. That which we call our secret thought Speeds to the earth's remotest spot, And leaves its blessings or its woes Like tracks behind it as it goes. It is God's law.
Stran 33 - We only see the top of this structure and call it an island; indeed, it is all we are conscious of except by soundings or occasional glimpses of what is beneath, on calm days or at low tides. In the same way it appears to the author that of the sum of the psychic forces which we may call mental, and which constitute mind, only a very small portion are fitfully illuminated by what we call consciousness.
Stran 60 - specified at the bottom. Some of' the reproductions exhibit the curious phenomenon of inversion. These drawings must speak for themselves. The principal facts to be borne in mind regarding them are that they have been executed through the instrumentality, as agents, of persons of unquestioned probity, and that the responsibility for them is spread over a considerable group of such persons ; while the conditions to be observed were so simple — for they amounted really to nothing more than taking...
Stran 32 - They are neither: no one of them is separate, but each belongs with certain others and with none beside. My thought belongs with my other thoughts, and your thought with your other thoughts. Whether anywhere in the room there be a mere thought, which is nobody's thought, we have no means of ascertaining, for we have no experience of its like. The only states of consciousness that we naturally deal with are found in personal consciousnesses, minds, selves, concrete particular I's and you's.
Stran 33 - A coral island in the South Pacific is a mere ring of rock in the water, of insignificant size to the sailor, but to the biologist or geologist it is the highest peak of a stupendous structure that rises from the bottom of the ocean as a mountain miles high. Commencing in the very smallest beginnings it remains unrecognized until it rises above the surface of the sea.
Stran 42 - ... wave to wave. We may talk of brain waves, but that is only unscientific talk; we know of nothing of the kind. Neither do we know how gravitation acts across space : by what means such tremendous forces as bind the solar system together are either exerted or transmitted we know absolutely nothing. We don't talk of gravitation waves, we wait for further knowledge on this mysterious problem; and in like manner we must patiently wait for more light on the mode of transmission of thought through space....
Stran 46 - Forty-Six mind and mind, then observed cases of telepathy would simply mean the awakening of consciousness to the fact in certain minds. Why some and not all minds, and why so fitfully the conscious perception should be aroused, are problems we must leave to the future; they are quite consistent with...
