Question 9: "What do you think of phrenology?"
Answer: As a science it is a mere humbug. It is at best a polite way of pointing out the soft spots of a man's vanity. Questions and Answers - 1862
When I sit down by a patient,
their thought is their wisdom(or opinions)and to me
there is no light in them.
My light(or wisdom)sees through their darkness(or belief)and I,
knowing that
their sufferings
are the effect of
this world's wisdom,
take them by the hand
and guide them by my light
till I raise them from the dead(or error)into the light of science
(or heaven).
Heaven is to bring him back to the knowledge of himself.
This is my heaven.
Quimby was so busy practicing healing, mostly in Portland, Maine, that he failed to publish his writings. In 1921 Horatio W. Dresser published “The Quimby Manuscripts”. In 1988 “Phineas Parkhurst Quimby: The Complete Writings” were published, edited primarily by Ervin Seale, who devoted much of his life to this task.
Quimby received almost no formal education, a fact he regretted, but was well read. Nonetheless he eloquently wrote, using the terminology of that period, injecting his observations and conclusions in terms equated to what he knew. The ego had not yet been named by Freud. Quimby used his own frame of reference to describe the same thing. He referred to his outlook or theory by various names, including “Science of Life and Happiness” and “Science of Health and Happiness”.
Quimby is known as the father of New Thought, practical metaphysics and practical Christianity. His work laid the foundation for such movements as Divine Science, Christian Science, Unity, Religious Science and many more.
