Law Of Attraction
Call it religion, psychology, mind chemistry or anything
you please (they are all based upon the same principle), but there is nothing

more certain than the fact that wherever a group of minds are brought
into contact, in a spirit of PERFECT HARMONY, each mind in the
group becomes immediately supplemented and re-enforced by a
noticeable energy called a Master Mind.
For all this writer professes to know this uncharted energy may be the Spirit of the Lord, but it operates just as favorably when called by any other name. The human brain and nervous system constitute a piece of intricate machinery which but few, if any, understand. When controlled and properly directed this piece of machinery can be made to perform wonders of achievement and if not controlled it will perform wonders fantastic and phantom-like in nature, as may be seen by examining the inmates of any insane asylum.
The human brain has direct connection with a continuous influx of
energy from which man derives his power to think. The brain
receives this energy, mixes it with the energy created by the food
taken into the body, and distributes it to every portion of the body,
through the aid of the blood and the nervous system. It thus
becomes what we call life.
From what source this outside energy comes no one seems to know;
all we know about it is that we must have it or die.
It seems reasonable to suppose that this energy is none other than that which we call ether, and that it flows into the body along with the oxygen from the air, as we breathe. Every normal human body possesses a first-class chemical laboratory and a stock of chemicals sufficient to carry on the business of breaking up, assimilating and properly mixing and compounding the food we take into the body, preparatory to distributing it to wherever it is needed as a body builder.
Ample tests have been made, both with man and beast, to prove that the energy known as the mind plays an important part in this chemical operation of compounding and transforming food into the required substances to build and keep the body in repair. It is known that worry, excitement or fear will interfere with the digestive process, and in extreme cases stop this process altogether, resulting in illness or death.
It is obvious, then, that the mind enters into the chemistry of food digestion and distribution. It is believed by many eminent authorities, although it may never have been scientifically proved, that the energy known as mind or thought may become contaminated with negative or "unsociable" units to such an extent that the whole nervous system is thrown out of working order, digestion is interfered with and various and sundry forms of disease will manifest themselves.
