The Law of Psychic Phenomena
نویسنده
چکیده
The main object of The Law of Psychic Phenomena is, as its somewhat ambitious title indicates, to provide a working hypothesis in the light of which all classes of mental phenomena shall be interpretable. The main proposition of the hypothesis is that man has two minds "subjective" and "objective." Mr. Hudson affords us no precise definition of the "subjective" mind; but by means of various scattered remarks we learn that it is an omniscient entity, capable of intuiting fixed laws, independent of brain action, in this life subject to the trammels of sense (represented by the "objective" mind), but rising supreme as the brain becomes weakened and impaired, and finally, with its death, entering on the fulness of immortal life.
