I started a collection of texts from old osteopathic journals that could be of interest to osteopaths and people curious about osteopathy.

What is mind?

“Mind” is a term used when we talk of that associated force whose qualities are endless in both numbers and effects, unlimited in all spheres of its action. It creates by association; it destroys by disconnecting adhesions; it is the motive power of all atoms, all worlds, and beings. It is to itself a perpetual mathematician, a master architect. It is so far above the being in which it dwells, that the being can obtain no knowledge of how and why it acts. Thus we have its use. It acts beyond man’s mental vision in its perfection in its work. It does faultless work. How? We know not. It never tires, does its work once for all time. We ask in deepest reverential soliloquy: Is mind a chemical compound? Does it exist independent of all else, as electricity, and occupy all space at the same time? Is mind a power that must go with all nature both to plan, to construct and guide all works of motion to each design? It acts with equal care with atom or world. It builds the tree, the planet. It cares for its own welfare as it does for the delicate mite. It gives us love, joy and pain. All with the same cool head. Our joys and misery affect it not. It plans its works. Its only duty is to act. Listen and obey that great law-giver which is itself, the monarch of all. We know its power by what it does, only.
