A man is a small individualized part of the Universal Mind, similar in essence but infinitely smaller in degree. Just as the Universal Mind finds expression throughout the Universe, so man, when awake, with his own inner powers, expresses himself by the power of his thought, his body, his work, his circumstances, and his life.
He can go so far and no further. He himself is the embodiment of the Universe, he has no jurisdiction outside the miniature Universe. What I mean by this is that a person has the power to do what he likes with his life, but he does not have the right to control other people or interfere in their lives.
I mention this because a pernicious practice is being taught today. It is known as "mind dominance". People are learning that they can control other people through abundance are using what is called the "hypnotic gaze". It is quite true; it can be done It is exactly the same method that some criminals in America practice. By this method, people are deprived of money and property - they sign documents they do not want to sign, simply because they are forced to do so by "mind domination".
No one can be safe from these misguided people. While you are sitting in a public room or theater, someone may be behind and focus their "hypnotic gaze" on the back of your neck. When a traveling salesman visit that may be use the black magic part of his mind to force you to act against your better judgment, simply so that he can gain a temporary benefit.
This sort of thing is not only practiced by relate both in this country and in America.
I mention this to warn you against such practices; first, so that you can avoid being hypnotized by these people, and second, that you should never, under any circumstances, use your mind powers to control other people. He who prostitutes his mental powers in this way rushes into misfortune. To misuse the tremendous powers of the mind in this way is to destroy oneself, body and soul.
All who indulge in these practices are deliberately creating a hell of trouble for themselves. The powers of the mind are like electricity; for the latter, if used according to certain laws, produce favorable results; when used contrary to these laws, it burns, maims, and destroys. So it is with the powers of the Mind, properly used they lead to success, happiness and all success; if used incorrectly, it will be ground into powder.
Both hypnosis and mind dominance are so widely used and taught that it is always advisable to work against them. This is really a revival of the "black magic" of the past. Witchcraft, sorcery, necromancy are all practices of equal power, and all who use them bring destruction upon their own heads. Witchcraft, black magic or hypnosis, or whatever you want to call it, is done by the lower mind of man.
The higher self, the perfect mental or spiritual being, the true Ego, has nothing to do with it. This is why hypnotic healing is always harmful. If a person is cured by hypnotic suggestion in about three months, either the same disease reappears or a new and worse disease manifests itself. But the healing done by the higher perfect mind, which is united with and forms part of the Universal Infinite Mind, which in turn is once and a part of the Infinite Principle of Good, such healing is permanent and can have no relapse.
By this we see that the higher mind is infinitely more powerful than the lower. Hypnosis and mind control can therefore be overcome and protected from the use of higher mental powers.
To work against hypnosis it is necessary not only to live as much as possible in the atmosphere of your perfect World of Mind, but also to deny the power of hypnosis in order to affirm the perfect power of the perfect Universal Mind of which you, your higher self, are a part. If you work in this way, you will make yourself proof against all hypnotism, sorcery, sorcery, and evil practices of every kind.
The law that keeps the universe running so smoothly is the law of attraction. It is this law that brought it together; it is this law that protects it from disintegration.
Those who practice mind domination are acting in direct opposition to this immutable law. They seek to do by force what should be accomplished by attraction, and therefore involve their own mental, moral, and physical decay.
The whole universe, in all its planes, is governed by this law; in the spiritual world it is called the law of love; in the mental world the law of attraction; in the material world it is known as the law of affinity. They all mean the same thing - fundamental they are the same.
Just as electrons are called together in the invisible ether to form an atom, so atoms in turn join together and vibrate at different rates to create what we call form. Thus matter (so called) is built into all the beautiful forms we see, simply by the Law of Attraction.
It is this law that holds all matter together. If it failed, the rocks would fly to pieces and all things would fall apart because the force that attracted one atom to another would cease to function.
In the mental world it is the same, everything works according to the same law. It is because "like begets like" and "like attracts like" that it is possible to change our lives with the power of though.
