"Retain the good and reject the evil."

It might be a question in regard to all the experiments we have presented in this volume whether it is really the strong intellectual power of a mind which may gain the ascendancy over another, and hold it in complete submission as in the case of our two last experiments. We answer that we do not think it is great intellectual power, but the capacity or power of arresting the attention and producing a strong impression. And this faculty may be cultivated and enlarge its power to produce impressions and arrest the attention of mind to the exclusion of surrounding influences. We have mentioned the fact in another page that the idea of magnetizing or mesmerizing only those persons who are dull and enjoy poor health and weak minds is exploded. The more intelligent the mind, if the attention can be fixed and drawn away from surrounding influences, the more certain you are of producing the excited or mesmeric state in the highest degree. A bright, intelligent and thoughtful person enjoying good health always makes the best subject. We do not therefore claim a more powerful intellect by which we can produce such results upon mind, but attribute it to a natural and cultivated power in this capacity which I am enabled to exercise and produce such experiments as are called mesmeric, magnetic, etc. The fact that the community have always laid it down as a general principle that only a more powerful mind can operate upon and control a weaker has retarded the progress of this branch of intellectual philosophy. The idea, no doubt, arose from some self-conceited personage, or perhaps a numerous class of those who were public magnetizers, desirous of claiming all the intellect which is really worth having. It is a fact we are compelled to acknowledge that some of my predecessors in this branch of science seem to have possessed no other intellectual faculty than that of mesmerizing; and the consequence was that they would be desirous of instructing the world to believe that the power they exercise is indeed that of a great mind and to be surpassed by no other power. All we have to remark upon this class of philosophers is that whatever discoveries and advances they have made in the progress of human knowledge should be thankfully received. And the follies and egotisms which have been interwoven with their progress should be rejected, as the consoling food for the vanity and self esteem of its projectors. No man would be justified in rejecting the whole Copernican System because some wandering genius, desirous of making himself greater than the rest, should have advanced the idea and proceeded to prove it, that the earth is spherical and turns on its axis every twenty four hours and is kept in motion on the principle of a great wheel in a treadmill by the constant tramping of an enormous Mammoth upon the equator. "Retain the good and reject the evil." Then will science advance. Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, BOOKLET VII

Welcome to Dirty Electricity (DE), sometimes called ELF, ELFR

Emerging Scientific Research suggests that the Poor Quality of the Electric Power in our Homes, Schools and Workplaces may be Making Many of us Sick. Most of us assume that the danger from electricity is safely confined to the wires in our homes, schools and workplaces. But, what most of us don't know is these same wires have become conduits for dangerous levels of radio frequency (RF) radiation and other harmful electromagnetic energy. Dirty Electricity, Electrical Pollution, Dirty Power, call it what you will, it's a dangerous, insidious form of electrical contamination that's now invading our homes, schools and workplaces. Until recently, this phenomenon had largely escaped the attention of the general public and medical community.

Now, emerging scientific research shows that the Dirty Electricity present in today's homes, schools and workplaces can have dramatic and serious health consequences for many of us … http://www.dirtyelectricity.ca/index.htm

Electrical Pollution Solutions http://www.stetzerelectric.com/ http://www.electricalpollution.com/ provides references dealing with power quality issues and provides information about the Graham/Stetzer filters and the Stetzerizer™ meter Non-ionizing radiation is also electromagnetic radiation. Non-ionizing radiation does not have enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules. Examples of non-ionizing radiation include radio waves, microwaves, and visible light.

Non-ionizing radiation does have energy. It is non-ionizing radiation that gives you that sun burn when you forget to wear sun screen. It is non-ionizing radiation that enables the microwave to cook your pizza. Radios and cell phones receive signals in the form of radio waves which is also a type of non-ionizing radiation.

Radiation Extremely low frequency (ELF) is a term used to describe radiation frequencies from 3 to 30 Hz.

Stretching the Mind to Take in All of God

I find the frame for my method in the Lord's Prayer and the Twenty-third Psalm. I say "frame" because either one of these can be recited in less than half a minute, and a prayer such as we materialistically-minded moderns need is one which will demand at least fifteen minutes of our time.


In this day of the coliseum, the gymnasium, and the daily dozen, I know it may sound impractical and visionary to suggest that the spirit deserves as much care as the body. You will find yourself in a new world where your God no longer dwells in churches and meeting-places and forms and days, but where He governs every minute of every day of every year. You will find yourself in a new world where immortality will no longer be sought as something far away, to be found at some far distant time, for you will know that you are immortal now, and that the entire universe with all its good and with all its beauty belongs to you now and forever.


The following may open your eyes a wee bit to the possibilities you yourself might work out in prayer.


Stretching the Mind to Take in All of God
1. Our Heavenly Father, we know that Thy Love is as infinite as the sky is infinite, and Thy Ways of manifesting that Love are as uncountable as the stars of the heavens.
2. Thy Power is greater than man's horizon, and Thy Ways of manifesting that Power are more numerous than the sands of the sea.
3. Thy Wisdom is greater than all hidden treasures, and yet as instantly available for our needs as the very ground beneath our feet.
4. Thy Joy is brighter than the sun at noonday and Thy Ways of expressing that Joy as countless as the sunbeams that shine upon our path.
5. Thy Peace is closer than the atmosphere that wraps us around, and as inescapable as the very air we breathe.
6. Thy Spirit is as pure as the morning dew, and yet as impervious to all that is unlike itself as the diamond which the dew represents.
7. As Thou keepest the stars in their courses, so shalt Thou guide our steps in perfect harmony, without clash or discord of any kind, if we but keep our trust in Thee. For we know Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee. We know that, if we acknowledge Thee in all our ways, Thou wilt direct our paths. For Thou art the God of Love, Giver of every good and perfect gift, and there is none beside Thee. Thou art omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent, in all, through all, and over all, the only God. And Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever. Amen.

When a visitor comes, accept him as a messenger from God, and before long a divine message actually will come to you. Accept every disappointment as a signpost to show you to another path which is better, and you will always find the other path is there. Gradually this practising the presence of God, or living in the Kingdom of Heaven, will become a habit. Then you will wonder why for so many years you had not been living there before. The Soul's Sincere Desire by Glenn Clark [1925]

Housing bubble of the 1870’s, the Long Depression

A real estate bubble or property bubble (or housing bubble for residential markets) is a type of economic bubble that occurs periodically in local or global real estate markets. It is characterized by rapid increases in valuations of real property such as housing until they reach unsustainable levels relative to incomes and other economic elements, followed by a reduction in price levels.

The financial crisis of 2007–2010 was related to the collapse of real estate bubbles, notably in the United States.

Camp Farthest Out

Glenn Clark (1882-1956)
Founder of "The Camps Farthest Out"
A Presbyterian, reared in the church, teaching in a Presbyterian college, and Sunday School teacher. For thirty years he was a professor of literature and athletic coach at Macalester College, A Presbyterian liberal arts college in St. Paul, Minnesota. He was highly influential in introducing New Thought ideas and techniques into the churches.
He was deeply religious and something of a mystic, a great believer in prayer. He first came into prominence through an article in the Atlantic Monthly, "The Soul's Sincere Desire"
In 1930 he organized a summer camp of his own in Koronis, Mn., to which he gave the name "Camp Farthest Out." By 1961 there were forty-one of them, meeting in almost every section of the country. He sometimes called the camps "laboratories for experimentation in the art of praying," as prayer and the disciplines of silence and meditation played such an important role.
In “A Man's Reach”, he wrote of being brought to an unusual interest in prayer, and it became his major concern and emphasis. It set him to reading especially the works of the mystics and about them and their approach to God. Among the books he read was “Life Understood” by F.L. Rawson, a onetime Christian Scientist, departed from that church, who had become an influential leader of New Thought in England. The thing that attracted Clark to Rawson, he says, was that "he believed one's prayers could be just as scientifically infallible as the laws of physics and chemistry."During a study group of Rawson’s book, the group would go into the silence, trying to feel the presence of God. The leader would then read a list of names of people to be prayed for, and the members of the group would use the technique of denials and affirmations. Clark discovered "that all Mankind was One, and if we cleared our own mind, the trouble of the one we prayed for would disappear. One strong denial and a number of positive affirmations seemed to be the most effective way to clear our minds."
This was (and is), of course, good metaphysical practice, employed by both Christian Science and New Thought, and Glenn Clark unhesitatingly adopted it and carried it into his own ministry and teaching.

"Daily Dozen"

Walter Chauncey Camp (1859 –1925) was an American football player, coach, and sports writer known as the "Father of American Football".

Camp was a proponent of exercise, and not just for the athletes he coached. While working as an adviser to the United States military during World War I, he devised a program to help servicemen become more physically fit. It is called the "daily dozen set-up," meaning thereby twelve very simple exercises.

The names of the exercises in the original Daily Dozen, as the whole set became known, were hands, grind, crawl, wave, hips, grate, curl, weave, head, grasp, crouch, and wing. As the name indicates, there were twelve exercises, and they could be completed in about eight minutes. A prolific writer, Camp wrote a book explaining the exercises and extolling their benefits. During the 1920s, a number of newspapers and magazines used the term "Daily Dozen" to refer to exercise in general. Starting in 1922, the new medium of radio began offering morning setting-up exercises using Camp's system.
