Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Quimby Manuscripts - P. P. Q. 1856 on “new theory” (1).jpg |
English: Notes of one of Quimby's earliest articles, written prior to those included in the list of the Quimby Manuscripts. The date is 1856. Here Dr. Quimby, writing impersonally about his “new theory,” states his opinion that it “could be reduced to a science as correcting the error of any other science.” He declares that “all knowledge of disease is in the mind,” that is, in the “feeling,” not in the body. Using the general term “fluids” to cover not only the bodily fluids but the nervous activities, he speaks of the mind as “spiritual matter” using this term interchangeably as if it stood for mind or the matter which is nearest mind. The disease is due to a “combination of this matter,” and the cure is accomplished by establishing a different combination. In the last of these three pages Quimby says that “truth restores the mind and changes the fluids.”
These pages are without revisions save by the author himself. No corrections have been made in the spelling. Quimby's statements show that even in this crude early formulation of his theory he already possessed the elements of his “Science.” |
