Excerpt from The Law of Thought
Although the propositions discussed in the following pages are somewhat metaphysical, yet I think almost everything is made easy of comprehension. The application, too, is exceedingly practical, and is extended to every class of society and to every department of life, from the child to the individual of advanced years, and from the most humble to the most elevated pursuits. In short, the application extends as far as mind and thought and the various and numerous results of their operations. Mind moves everything, and thought moves mind. As are the thoughts, such are the motions and emotions. Good and evil, both natural and moral, result from the action of mind; the latter the direct, the former the indirect result. Sin could not be introduced into this world save by a moral agent belonging thereto. It is further shown that moral evil could not be introduced by force. While thoughts move mind, they do not destroy the power of choice; if they did, the action would neither be intelligent nor moral. Nor can that be intelligent action which is not the result of thought. The conclusions throughout are supported by scripture and fact.
