Tt fd not proposed, in this article, to enter upon the discussion of thealogical questions, but we might go far ennugh to Imagine tho element of Mind to bo itsclf The Deity, clottied, through its universal diffusion and universal suvereignty our_Matter, with all the sttributes given to tle Supreme Being by theolugists; whils the return of the rubstance of the human mind to the sourcs from which it 1s derived wonld be a lterar “return of the spirit to the God who gave iL." There are doubtless many sclentifie objeee tions to this theory,—possibly fnsurmountably ancs, Possibly, alag, it 1a not new, but, if [ have derived {t'from any atticr source than my own thoughta and specul m,lun:r I am at prescnt unconsclous of {t. Nor would 1 assertthat I am mysclf fully conylnced of its truth: but 1t offers 8o perfect n olution of many of the phe- nomena of Mind, that it has scemed to me ‘worthy of conaideration. We all acknowledze the cxistence of natural Iaws a8 a combination of - forces by which the universe of Matter s contfolled. “These laws wo consider unchangeable, and yet they aro &0 mimerous and “complex ns to pruduce all the complicated structures of the earth and_the universe. Attraction, repulsion, the production of heat, light, and cleetricity, tho unfon of elements in certaln exace proportlons to forin compounds, are all laws, or the resuits of laws, “implanted in matter,” as wo are in the hablt of expressing ft. It Ia lcss reasonable to suppose that these laws arg in reality tho operations of the eleiment of mind pervading tho universe, and dirccting jta movements, as” the human mind divects the motlons of the human body! But we may go still further, and consider Mind {tself as a coinplication of elements, work- {ng harmonfously together, In the human sys- tem we find the dlfferent divisions of the braln, and the ganglla, with different powers and functlons, but all nccessary to maintain 1ite, or give man the supremacy he has attained among liwing creatures,. Hizhest of sl are the reasoninfr faculties, which iy devise and exe- cute maony plans for the advantage of the body, but cannot change the laws by which the orcans \;cr!nrm their work. 8o, ln the universe of Mind, there may be an clement, or intellect, which watches over the whole, but must oper- ate througt ather elements, capablo of worklog only by fixed procesee, Aceepting thia theory of Mind, we may easily explnin mauy of the genujne phenomens of Spir- itunlism. mesmerlsm, clajryoyance, and all the other oceult sciences, If Mind is an element of universal distributlon, {t 1s no more Incredibie that the humah tnind, developed from Ity should be abic to act on and ll-rnugi'u it, thau that the launan hand {s competent to act upon and through the elements of Matter from which it Is developed, If all matter is controlied by Mind,it 1s not strange that, under cerialn peculs far cunditions, the mind of man may act direct- ly on the clementa of Matter, as fn the table- Jpplnz uf the Spiritualists; or that one mind may act upon auother throuzh space, without the nid or Iotervention of the physical onrans, as In cases of clairvoyance and mind-reading. Summinz up some of the arguments favoring this theory of Mind, we may reason: Flrst, frum analogy between the observed rhuuomcm of the human wind and body, Wo ind that the two are cocxistent; that Sthey arisc, grow, and disappear together. Both have thelr origin in the zerm, and we sce that the body derives all its fncresse and the material for its constant rencwal from the ‘universe of Matter by which it {8 surrounded; while In {ta waste and fts tinal dispersion it 18 returned 10 the source from whence it came. 1 _there is analogy between tho orl;.'.in and growth of the miud and body, must there not also. be nnnln;iy between the “sources from which the materlal for thelr origin and growth s derlved 1 The Yhy.lml body lins 1ts origin and growth in and Irom clements of universal distribiution; must not the mind have its origin and growth in and from clements simi- larly distributed! The body cannot maintain {ts cxistence in the absence ‘of the mind; may ‘we not reasou {rom analogy that Matter cannat maintaln und exccute tho laws by which It 1s goverued, cxrc{ll. through tho controlling cle- ment of the Mind? Tha materlal elements of all organie bodles ave dispersed to the materinl universe from which they wero gathered; must not the mental elements of organic ))m\lcl ha similarly dispersed tothe universs of Mind from which we supposo them to have been derivedi Becond, from Notural Law ftself, which may be taken as a universal exhibition of the ele- ment of Mind. Third, from the observed phenomena of the human mind, independent ol the body, as in clajrvoyance, mind-reading, meamerism, the so- called Spiritunl phenomena, ete. Of ‘courso It 18 not possible, within the limita of brief essay, to ups the subjeet or the theory sugeested, except fn mero outline. Nor {n it iny purpose to offer more than a sugwes- tion.
