Speculation and Practical Science

The fact is, one’s opinion as to whether mind controls body or body makes mind-action depends altogether upon the point of view. And the first step for us to take is to agree upon the point of view we shall assume.

Two points of view are possible. One is speculative, the other practical.

Philosophic Riddles and Personal Effectiveness

The speculative point of view is that of the philosopher and religionist, who ponder the tie that binds “soul” and body in an effort to solve the riddle of “creation” and pierce the mystery of the “hereafter.”

The practical point of view is that of the modern practical scientist, who deals only with actual facts of human experience and seeks only immediate practical results.

The speculative problem is the historical and religious one of the mortality or immortality of the soul. The practical problem is the scientific one that demands to know what the mental forces are and how they can be used most effectively.
