Chemistry of the mind
I Believe that the mind is made up of the same universal “fluid” energy as that which constitutes the ether which fills the universe. It is a fact as well known to the layman as to the man of scientific investigation, that some minds clash the moment they come in contact with each other, while other minds show a natural affinity for each other. Between the two extremes of natural antagonism and natural affinity for growing out of the meeting of minds, there’s a wide range of possibility for varying reactions of mind upon mind.
It’s quite probable that the mind is made up of a fluid or substance it energy, call it whatever suits you, similar (if not the same substance as) the ether. When two minds meets each other, the mixing it the units of this “mind stuffs (call it electrons of the ether) sets up a chemical reaction and starts vibrations which affects the two individuals pleasantly or unpleasantly.
For the purpose of establishing this topic upon sound foundation, we’ve gone a long way towards success by admitting that the meeting it coming close in contact of two minds sets up in each of those minds a certain noticeable effect, while it is desirable, it is not essential to know what the cause of this reaction of mind upon mind. That the reaction takes place, in every instance, is a known fact which gives us a starting point from which we may show what is meant by the term “Master Mind”
A Master Mind may be created through the bringing together or blending, in a spirit of perfect harmony, of two or more minds. Out of this harmonious blending, the chemistry of the mind creates a third mind which may be appropriated and used by one or all of the individual minds. The Master Mind will remain available as long as the friendly harmonious alliance between the individual minds exist. It’ll disintegrate and all evidence of it’s former existence will disappear the moment the friendly alliance is broken.
This principle of mind chemistry is the basis and cause for practically all the so-called “soul-mates” and eternal triangle cases, so many of which find their way into the divorce courts and meet with popular ridicule from ignorant and uneducated people who manufacture vulgarity and scandal out of one of the greatest of nature’s laws.
The entire civilized world knows that the first two or three years of association after marriage are marked by much agreement, of a more or less Petty nature. These are the years of “adjustment”. If a marriage survive them, it’s more than apt to become a permanent alliance. These facts no experienced married person will deny. Again we see the “effects” without understanding the “cause.”
While there are other contributing causes, yet, in the main, lack of harmony during these early years of marriage is due to the slowness of the chemistry of the minds in blending harmoniously. Stated differently, the electrons or units of the energy called the mind are often neither extremely friendly nor antagonistic upon first contact; but through constant association they gradually adapt themselves in harmony, except in rare cases where association has the opposite effect of leading, eventually, to open hostility between these units.
It’s well known fact that after a woman and a man have lived together for ten to fifteen years, they become practically indispensable to each other, even though there may not be the slightest evidence of the state of mind called love. Moreover, this association and relationship sexually not only develops a natural affinity between the two minds, but it actually causes the two people to take on a facial expression and to resemble each other closely in many other marked ways.
Two minds will not blend unless the element of perfect harmony is present, wherein lies the secret of success or failure of practically all business and social partnerships. Every salesman and every military commander and every leader in any way of life understands the necessity of “esprit de corps” — a spirit of common understanding and cooperation — in the attainment of success. This Mass spirit or harmony or purpose is obtained through
Discipline, voluntary or forced, of such a nature that the individual minds become blended into a “Master Mind,” by which is meant that the chemistry of the individual minds is modified in such a manner that these minds blend and function as one.
The method through which this blending process takes place are as numerous as the individuals engaged in the various forms of leadership. Every leader has his or her own method of coordinating the minds of the followers. One will use force. Another used persuasion. Another plates upon the fear of penalties while another plates upon rewards.
No group of minds can be blended into a Master Mind if one of the individuals of that group possesses one of these extremely negative, repellant minds. The negative and positive minds will not blend in the sense here described as a Master Mind. Lack of knowledge of this fact has brought many able leaders to defeat.
Any able leader who understands this principle of mind chemistry may temporarily blend the minds of practically any group of people, so it’ll represent a mass mind, but the composition will disintegrate almost the very moment the leader’s presence it’s removed from the group.
