CHAPTER
XX:
Mind-The
Master-force
for
Health
or
Disease
We
hear
of
many
miraculous
achievements
in
the
building
of
health
and
the
cure
of
disease
through
mental
influence.
The
mind
is
unquestionably
a
master-force.
I
will
not
go
so
far
as
to
say
it
is
limitless,
for
certainly
a
hungry
man
cannot
imagine
he
is
eating
a
dinner
and
secure
the
same
benefits
that
he
would
from
the
meal
itself.
Nor
can
a
man
who
is
passing
away
into
the
other
world,
through
a
definite
vital
defect,
bring
back
life
through
mental
force.
But
we
should
remember
that
many
diseases
are
to
a
great
extent
imaginary.
And
some
of
those
not
actually
imaginary
may
at
least
be
brought
about
through
fears
that
are
the
results
of
abnormal
delusions.
And
where
such
diseases
are
combated
by
mental
forces
of
the
right
sort,
a
cure
can
be
effected
in
many
instances.
In
numerous
cases,
also,
it
is
well
to
remember
that
the
mental
state
is
the
actual
cause
of
disease.
You
become
blue,
hopeless
and
to
a
certain
extent
helpless.
You
see
nothing
in
the
future.
Life
is
dull.
Ambition,
enthusiasm,
have
all
disappeared.
It
would
not
be
at
all
difficult
for
this
state
of
mind
to
bring
about
disease
in
some
form.
Health,
strength,
vitality
of
the
right
sort,
should
radiate
all
the
elements
and
forces
associated
with
life's
most
valuable
possessions.
Happiness
and
health
are
close
friends.
It
is
very
difficult
to
be
gloomy
and
miserable
if
you
are
healthy.
It
is
perhaps
even
more
difficult
to
be
healthy
if
you
are
gloomy
and
mentally
ugly.
