METAPHYSICS AND HEALTH.

Considerable has already been said in these writings about the connection of Metaphysics with the subject of health. The subject is so large, however, and so grand in the possibilities of its helpfulness, that a fur­ther examination of it, as regards its relation to life and its application to the problems of existence, may not be entirely uninteresting at this time. The sub­ject is especially important to every one in this life, and the minds of the people in general are not well prepared for its particular reasoning; consequently, explanation sufficient to thoroughly gain the attention of the public can hardly be made. But in any instance where this is accomplished an undying interest in the subject soon becomes firmly established. With these, the wish is almost invariably expressed that the knowledge had been acquired years before.

Individuals have been so absorbed in the common affairs of life, and so imbued with the usual teachings of the personal schools with regard to both religion and health, as well as with the prescribed rules for dealing with sickness, that the subject o f metaphysics as a healing influence is to the most o f them an un­known proposition. Nevertheless it has been known to some thinkers in this respect for ages, and in the estimate of those learned in these matters has always stood at the pinnacle of healing knowledge, also hold­ing a high place in spiritual philosophy. Now that:THE WISE-MAN. 65

METAPHYSICS AMD HEALTH, path? Each one may choose—and having chosen he most abide by the results of the choice. Eventually no mao escapes the downward influences of sensuous reasoning: and reliance upon material dements for supporting: influence in life. The illusions o f the ex­ternal appearance, when trusted, enslave the soul in a lower order of mentality, and stupefy the mind, as regards a dear use of its thinking faculties.

Metaphysics offers a way out of all this, through the gaining of understanding o f the real phases of life, and a detailed adjustment of the mental faculties to the affairs of daily experience, on a basis o f the higher understanding and a realization o f principles o f being and life. Some of these ways we may now be able to examine with profit and perhaps with satisfaction. The fields of the true metaphysical activities in fife are o f great breadth and exceeding interest In them we may find everything of value to the real man. Shall we continue the search?

The possible influence of metaphysics upon health may be comprehended in two ways: First, in the ab­solute wholeness of its philosophical teachings, to­gether with the consequent harmony and equality o f its reasonings, which are always strictly logical, equal and just, and if rightly comprehended will produce these qualities in human fife. Second, in the fine grade o f action involved in its thinking, and the consequent higher activity that is always produced by its processes, thus derating all tendencies in fife.

On any plane of right action—physical, psy­chic or spiritual—the activity o f pow er that rightly influences ethers by extrem e o f either dement or ac-THE WISE-MAN. «

METAPHYSICS AMD HEALTH, turn, m always o f a higher and a finer grade than A jt which is to be influenced, The lower or coarser grade* o f action, therefore,, are never true heathy nifthnw, The metaphysical activities are next in grade and posL tion to the purely fpiritnal, and they contain the spir­itual qualities; they are, therefore, both higher and finer than all beneath this plane o f operation. This alone would determine the metaphysical activities to be true healing influences in human bfe.

T H E W ISE -M A N , 75

METAPHYSICS AND HEALTH, ence, you know, because, from your present standpoint matter is the only reality.

Can you so place them and still feel sure o f your position ?

Have you ever known any one who could so place them and maintain the conviction? I f they and the ma­terial universe both are real, and inclusive o f each other, how is it that they are so contrary in character and in action? Even the most confirmed materialist is bound to ultimately answer all o f these questions in a negative sense; and every such answer knocks his accepted theory in the head. W hen he takes into con­sideration the finer forces and activities o f his own being—the metaphysical operations o f his own mind— it is impossible for the theory to stand before the in­evitable logic o f these facts o f his own experience.

But, perhaps he attempts to account for this on the theory o f brain power, and the action o f “ gray mat­ter” ? That will not answer, either. The action o f the brain, as o f any other part o f the body is secondary, not primary. The brain originates nothing. It repro­duces action that has already been established for it, and repeats it in brain tissue only so long as the mind retains the idea or the thought that contains it. When that ceases, the expression o f it in the brain vanishes. The brain is a part o f the reproducing me­chanism— the instrument o f the mind, only. It orig­inates nothing. What, then, performed the original work, before there was anything to reproduce it— any brain tissue to think for man ?

All o f the elements, features o f action and evidences o f consciousness examined thus far in this acquaintance

THE WISE-MAN. 76

METAPHYSICS AND HEALTH, with the Idea have been demonstrated to be real. None o f them can be found in or placed in the material universe; neither can they be accounted for in any form or grade o f supposed materialistic thinking. Not a feature o f all o f this experience with the idea can be accounted for on any materialistic hypothesis.

A real thing must have an element as its basis, and must be composed o f substance as a foundation for its structure. A thing cannot be postulated as a reality independent o f its element. Likewise, a thing without substance would be unsubstantial, consequently unreal, therefore logically non-existent. In all the speculations o f the human intellect, only two propositions o f "ele­ment” have ever been made— matter as the external, and spirit as the internal element o f reality. Similarly, these two stand as the substance o f the two realms o f life.

Here we are at the horns o f the dilemma, with our proposition o f a real idea that is not material, and no other “ reality” than matter for both its element and its substance. There is, therefore, no alternative. W e have discovered ideas, thoughts, purpose, intelligence and consciousness; have proved them real, good, use­ful and enjoyable, and have accepted them as entities; therefore they must belong to something that is real. W hen they operate all together and in unison, that to which they belong, and parts o f which they are, would properly be a universe. Y et they are not material, they have no physical affinities and cannot be material­istic or parts and features o f a material universe. Hence the undisputable fact stands forth that there must be a substantial spiritual universe. That it

THE WISE-MAN. 77

METAPHYSICS AND HEALTH, has an element o f reality which is necessarily spirit. That its element, spirit, is real, and the substance o f its element, being real and active, is spiritual activity. At the very least these are logical deductions from the already proved major premise. Numerous other points o f evidence have appeared to those who have investigated seriously. All metaphysicians and phi­losophers accept the premise o f a real and substantial universe resting back o f this material appearance, and bearing certain relations to this, the external, and which can only be understood and adjusted through the proper use o f the mind when its ideas are based upon the original and real as a source. The proposi­tion does not any longer have to depend upon specula­tion. Every step can be demonstrated and proved with exactness, by recnlts that could not possibly be produced if matter were the substance o f reality, or if reality were based upon sense-action.

There are many other illustrations o f spiritual activ­ities, that are common to everyone in daily life, and that are equally as convincing as those given here, o f the fact that a spiritual universe must exist, regard­less o f the fact that sensuous action and materialistic investigation do not disclose its substance and element. The most potent fact o f all is that if there were no such universal element o f reality, as spirit (when rightly examined) proves to be, a material universe that could appeal to the senses could never exist; be­cause as matter is a condensed and crystallized product of a reduction o f action, there must have been activity sufficiently high for this reduction to take place and so produce the sensuous appearance o f the crystal.

THE WISE-MAN. 78

METAPHYSICS AND HEALTH.Without Spirit, matter could never have taken shape; and without Intelligence— which is undeniably spirit­ual— not even sense-action could have appeared to man. No spirit— no man and no universe; is the inevitable conclusion o f the problem.

The problems o f Metaphysics are those o f the mind o f man when he applies himself to the understanding o f the relation that exists— must exist—between this external state o f existence, and the more real state o f actual being that is back o f and higher than its evident manifestation here. The necessity, therefore certainty, o f this relation is one o f the convincing arguments o f its truth. These problems bear relation to spirit and its activities, as involved in the necessary factors o f living. They have a vital bearing, therefore, upon every feature and phase o f human life. Without metaphysics there could be no problems in physics; and without the distinctly metaphysical activities there would never have been any material action in even the sensuous personal life. A ll action here is an inverted state o f activity; and there must have been something to in­vert.

Metaphysics, then, as a foundation activity for all manifesting action in life, on all its planes and in all the phases o f its expression o f the higher, has a direct bearing upon every phase and feature o f life on any plane; and without adequate understanding o f its high and pure nature, offices and powers, we can never rightly solve any problem o f human existence.

It is in this direct connection with life that Meta­physics shows an effective bearing upon all the prob­lems o f health. The subject o f health, for both indi-

THE WISE-MAN. 79

METAPHYSICS AND HEALTH, vidual and race, bears directly upon all the phases o f personal life; because sickness o f any form or degree is the result of a corresponding departure from the norm or sound action. The activities o f this external life are mental, the mind being the governing influence in all affairs. All right and pure mental processes are fundamentally metaphysical, because they are finer than any physical operations, and higher in nature than sensuous recognition o f objects.

When one appears sick, the mind has undergone some change from the healthy norm o f the right and the real. As such changes occur back o f direct sense recognition, the victim is aware only o f the result, and this only when it appears on the body. But the action of it took place earlier in the proceeding; and it was mental, in some degree more subtile than physical movement or change alone. Even in those cases which early show physical change o f tissue, the caus­ative action was subconsciously mental before any dis­turbance was recognized. The remedy for such ab­normalities is to be found only on the plane o f action where the wrong operation began, and it must con­tain the highest and purest o f the action that operates on that plane. The higher can elevate the lower tend­encies; but the lower influences have no power over those that are higher in nature.

The thought influence that can produce a change in mentality so clearly right as to remove an appearance of sickness and restore the reality, health, can be noth­ing short of a direct metaphysical influence. It is ex­erted through a subtile subconscious teaching o f the mind with regard to its errors o f personal thinking

THE WISE-MAN. 80

METAPHYSICS AND HEALTH, and consequent erroneous action which has resulted in the unhealthy conditions. W hen these new ideas are received, the mind changes the base o f its subconscious reasonings, from the physical and sensuous-personal, to the metaphysical and individual (indivisible, w hole), where the realities o f life are permanent, and the truth o f right reasonings is always harmonious. Thus healthy thought is at once established, in the place o f the unsound reasonings and giving way to sense delu­sions. T he result is a return o f the mind to a healthy state o f normal activity. This proceeding is neces­sarily metaphysical in both process and result.

T he body is a copy o f the mind, as regards its per­sonal functionings, therefore the changed conditions with the m ind will, in due time, be reproduced on or in the body. Thus a physical cure is finally produced with the physical body as the natural outcome o f the metaphysical curative process engendered within the subconscious mentality— a veritable “ mind cure" by metaphysical means, and a bodily cure produced by nature itself (the operations o f the subconscious men­ta lity ), as the natural result o f the mind’s change o f Idea, and a corresponding change o f base o f action. T his certainly is a metaphysical curative process, and the return to health by direct means o f the change o f Idea shows the real relation existing between meta­physics and health.

Unless the idea changes, subconsciously, there is no cure in the case, and no sure result with the body or the mind. In those instances one can only wait for later circumstances to cover up or obscure the errone­ous action that brought on the ill conditions. But this

THE WISE-MAN. 8 1

M E T A P H Y S I C S A N D H E A L T H , is not a cure; the trouble may reappear at any time. With the metaphysical process, however, the idea is changed, its action is stopped entirely, and the errone­ous view of life necessarily continuing under the in­fluence of physical violence is destroyed, utterly. Can we fully realize the mighty importance and real value in life of such a power as this ? As regards influencing the action of the life of man on this plane of existence, there is no method known, other than the pure meta­physical philosophy, that can accomplish, even approxi­mately, such a result as this. Yet this is all being done every day now, through the application of metaphys­ical understanding to the vicissitudes of life, and in degrees of power that surprise those who meet with it for the first time in the right way.

These healing applications of the finer and higher influences of pure understanding, to and over the lower features of sense-thought, and of living on the exter­nal plane of observation, are gradually regenerating humanity; for there are intelligible applications of the principles to all the features of living, and conditions inhere everywhere that require adjustment through healing processes. In any phase of action the higher always overrules the lower; and there are no physical conditions or mental maladjustments that metaphysical knowledge applied through correct thinking cannot set right.

Each kind of sickness has its own particular feature of action, which is always some adjustment to the errors of sense-reasoning. The action is always false in character, never real or true, and it cannot be per­manent. For every such case metaphysics has anTHE WISE-MAN. 82

M E T A P H Y S I C S A N D H E A L T H , opposite corresponding idea of truth and reality, the realization of which will arouse so fine, powerful and efficient an activity that the erroneous views can no longer obtain. They will give way to the higher in­fluence and disappear. A cure is then certain, pro­vided a base for rebuilding still remains, so that a cure may be in any way possible.

In dealing with the matter of health and disease in the human family, all the varieties of unhealthy action in personal life are met in this way by metaphysical philosophy, through its scientific application.

In all such problems as these Metaphysics is the mas­ter in the mind of man.

The question of how far the prehistoric man dif­fered from the present man was ably discussed in the Lyons Congress, France, 1873, when De Mortillets presented the opinion that in primordial periods “ a certain number of different animals existed without the faculty of language which were capable of acquir­ing it, and did actually acquire it and were entitled to be called men. Then came a certain divergence. Those who had the power of transmitting their thoughts by means of words improved until they be­came in time the educated men of to-day, while the other portion declined mentally (or from dessuetude), though gaining certain physical advantages, until they became anthropomorphoid apes—chimpanzees or gorillas.

Alphabets are formed by study of functions. New languages are learned by vocalizing elementary words first, then they apply their use to appetite, indulgence and personal comfort. Similarity of facial features shows homogeneity, taking its origin at the close of the first glacial period, like the obvious botanical affinities.

having no orbits, and driven hither and yon by the electric currents which pervade space, are drawn by gravitation to larger bodies of their homogeneity; as to the earth, for instance.

In their haste to reach the attracting body they melt, vitrify, and explode by the intense heat generated by friction with the atmosphere.

Meteorites reach our globe honeycombed, pitted, and filled with bowl-like cavities made by blow-pipe action as they pass through space; the softer parts being consumed, and the harder parts (90 per cent, iron) being left to cool off at the end of their journey earthward.

Comparatively few of all the (showers of) meteors which fill the heavens (shooting stars) reach our sphere; about in proportion to the number of lightning strokes, and very few doing damage.

Electricity is the prime element in meteoric forma­tion. It pervades the universe and is in constant mo­tion. Sulphur and ozone are ingredients of electricity. The proof is manifest in the fact that lightning flashes are almost always attended by an odor of sulphur.

While lightning generates heat it seldom creates combustion. Globes of electricity cling to the yard­arms of vessels in the shape of corposants, and to iron pump-handles, during electrical storms, and pass off harmless. I have seen a thunderbolt pass through a hay-mow without setting fire to it and then destroy and burn things in the coach-house below.

I have hunted no books for this exposition, but have worked it out of my own head, exercising my minute faculty o f observation. Charles Hallock, Ph.D.

THE FROGS AND THE RABBIT.On one occasion some Frogs were sitting on the

bank o f a lake discussing the question whether the mind o f a Man, like the mind o f a Frog or the mind o f a Rabbit, remained forever the same in its disposition? Never changing, and always possessing the same fixed structure? “ For,” said one o f the Frogs, “ the instinct o f Fear seems to act just as irra­tionally in Man as it does in a Frog.”

A violent rustling o f the reeds and flags on the bank at that moment caused all the Frogs to jump for safety into the lake. Whereupon, on glancing back, one o f the Frogs saw that the cause o f their Fear and Terror was a Rabbit that had become frightened be­cause it heard a branch fall from a tree.

THE POINT OF THE NARRATIVE.The Wise Man knows that in nine cases out o f ten

Fear has an irrational (and as a form o f illusion, pos­sesses an utterly unphilosophical) basis. The fact that Fear, like the hair on a man’s head, may have a fixed disposition to grow all down a man’s back, does not

There are mental and moral tonsorial artists whose business it is to clip our atavistic in­stincts o f Fear, and other irrational impulses.

What was Napoleon? In the first place he was the greatest military genius the world has ever seen. But he was much more than this—his was a universal genius. H e was a great statesman and legislator. The Code Napoleon is still in operation, even in some parts o f Germany. He knew and understood the spe­cial business o f the various departments of the State better than those who held the portfolios; and, of course, he directed them all. He supervised through his vicegerents a considerable part of Europe. Noth­ing was too small for his attention. He even inter­fered in the matrimonial affairs o f his brothers, his marshals and others o f his entourage. His energy and will-power were enormous; his brain was unusu­ally large, and it worked constantly at high pressure. His cerebral activity and excitement were abnormal; he took little sleep and scarcely any relaxation. He accomplished more in a few years than most men in a long lifetime. He lived rapidly. He died prematurely. The cancer in the pylorus, although hereditary, was no doubt, to a great extent, developed and aggravated by his violent outbursts o f temper, his lavish expendi-

SELECTIONS.A WONDERFUL CLOCK.

It is claimed that if not touched the radium time­piece invented by the Englishman, Harrison Martin­gale, could run for 30,000 years. On a quartz rod, in an exhausted glass vessel, is supported a tube con­taining a small quantity of radium. An electroscope is attached to the lower end o f this tube. It consists o f two long strips of silver. The natural action o f the radium sends an electric charge into the strips and causes them to separate until they touch the sides of the vessel, where they are instantly discharged and fall together again. Every two minutes this operation is repeated automatically, so that each beat o f this won­derful timekeeper is in reality two minutes long.

The most trustworthy clock in the world is said to be that in the basement o f the observatory at Berlin, installed in 1865. This clock is inclosed in an air- tight glass cylinder and has frequently run for two or three months, with an average daily deviation o f only fifteen one-thousandths o f a second. Yet astronomers are not satisfied even with this remarkable accuracy, and their efforts are constantly in the direction o f more ideal conditions for a clock, by keeping it not only in an air-tight case, but also in an underground vault, where neither changes o f temperature nor o f baro­metric pressure can ever affect it.— The Progress.

ANTEDATES BABYLON.Still another "oldest city in the world” has been dis­

covered. When T. Hewitt Myring found vases in Peru in ruins which were said to be 7,000 years old it was imagined that the remains o f early civilizations had been pushed as far into antiquity as they would ever go. But A. Lafave, a mining engineer, has found the relics o f a town in an Arizona tableland near Phoenix, which he insists are at least 10,000 years old. The buildings are on a level stretch o f country whereTHE WISE-MAN. 90

SELECTIONS.neither silt nor wash was possible and yet the ruins were covered with ten feet o f prairie dust which the discovered claims required ages to accumulate.

The buildings o f sandstone show great architectural skill and in the walls were found a box of cotton bolls and a sealed jar o f corn, both well preserved. The Arizona climate does not permit the growth of cotton in the present age, so Mr. Lafave assumes that suffi­cient time must have elapsed since the cotton which he found was grown to have wrought a complete change in the character o f the country. This period he also gauges as something like 10,000 years.

He is satisfied that the ruins are older than those of Nineveh or Babylon. He believes that the race which built this town was possessed of a high civilization from the abundance or artistically wrought pottery and that it subsequently was broken up by internal dis­sensions and possibly degenerated into the cliff dwell­ing people.— Chicago Tribune.

They were visiting an insane asylum a short time ago. Among the unfortunate inmates was a woman who kept writing on the floor. Behind her came a man with a mop.

“ What is the matter with her?" the attendant was asked.

"W hy, she is an inveterate swearer,” was the reply, “ and one o f her peculiarities is that she writes all her bad language on the floor. The man with the mop follows her to wipe out her profanity."

"Yes, bad luck to him,” suddenly shouted the woman, “ but I ’m two damns and one hell ahead of him."— W ashington Journal.

THE UN IVERSAL CREED.We believe in human kindness,

Large amid the sons o f men;Nobler far in willing blindness

Than in censure’s keenest ken,W e believe in self denial,

And its after throb o f joy ;In the love that lives through trial,

Dying not, though death destroy.

We believe in dreams o f duty,Warning us to self-control;

Foregleams o f the glorious beauty,That shall yet transform the soul.

In the god-like wreck o f nature,Sin doth in the sinner leave;

That he may regain the stature,He hath lost— we do believe.

W e believe in love renewing,All that sin hath swept away;

Heaven-like its work pursuing,Night by night and day by day.

In the power o f its remolding,In the grace o f its reprieve

In the glory o f beholding,Its perfection— we believe.

W e believe in Love Eternal,Fixed in God’s unchanging w ill;

That beneath the deep internal,Hath a depth that’s deeper still!

In its patience, its endurance To forbear, and to retrieve;

In the large and full assurance,O f its triumph— we believe.

What is a college, Papa?A college, Pauline, is a cross between a country

club and an orphan asylum.Then, why do such nice boys go there, Papa?Because rich boys from sixteen to twenty are too old

to be spanked and not old enough to reason.Do they learn to reason in college ?Not if the reverend professors can help it, Daughter.Then why do they go ?They go to be got rid of, because they would mis­

behave at home.Don’t they misbehave at college, then?Well, yes; but their parents don’t know about it,

unless they go to the football games— or read the po­lice reports.

But don’t their parents teach them morals, Papa?Nay, nay, Pauline; it’s cheaper to get it done by

hired professors.D o the professors know all about morals?Not at all, my dear, but they know exactly what

parents expect them to say.Is that what makes a complete curriculum ?No, dear, a complete curriculum is an imitation edu­

Or remember them only to learn the lesson they have to teach, the frailty or folly or wickedness o f spirit which they should dis­close to you—the vanity that weakens, the pride that hardens, the greed that corrupts.

Then, looking back only long enough to see where you are and what your course should be, forget the things that are behind and press forward.— The Outlook.
