This is distinctly a case where none of the actions were intended, and yet were clearly caused by thinking. In the experiments with the perspiration, that each kind of thinking had produced its own peculiar substance, which the system was trying to expel. Professor Gates's conclusions are very definite: "Every mental activity creates a definite chemical change and a definite anatomical structure in the animal which exercises the mental activity." And again he says: "The mind of the human organism can, by an effort of the will, properly directed, produce measurable changes of the chemistry of the secretions and excretions." He also says: "If mind activities create chemical and anatomical changes in the cells and tissues of the animal body, it follows that all physiological processes of health or disease are psychologic processes and that the only way to inhibit, accelerate, or change these processes is to resort to methods properly altering the psychologic, or mental, processes." * That is, the most effective and best way to change these physical processes is to change the thinking. And again he says: "All there is of health and disease is mind activity." And once more: "If we can know how to regulate mind processes, then we can cure disease-- all disease." In another place he says: "Mind activity creates organic structure, and organisms are mind embodiments."
