Excerpt from The Gospel Crown of Life: A System of Philosophical Theology Their researches have also resulted in a detection of the mind-controlling power, and thereby all the ordi nary and even extraordinary phenomena of mind itself, or that produced by mind upon mind, is found to be in accordance with natural and physical laws.
