A practical, scientific explanation of thought or mind force: the law which governs all mental and physical action and phenomena: the cause of life and death. The author intentionally avoided the use of scientific terms in the book, for it was written for the people as a whole, and not simply as a scientific textbook.
The power and principles of the Law of Mentalism are as old as humanity, having existed ever since man was created. In different ages of the world's progress, men have in some measure realized the existence of the Law, but heretofore man has been unable to grasp it with any degree of completeness. He has, however, from time to time, discovered a few of its mysteries, and, believing. that he had the whole truth, formed and organized one of the sciences or religious sects known as Mesmerism, Hypnotism, Personal Magnetism, Magnetic Healing, Mental Science, Christian Science, Spiritualism, Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Telepathy, Mediumship, etc.
