About this book
William Walker Atkinson's Mind and Body: Or, Mental States and Physical Conditions has a contents list that names chapters on the subconscious mind, the sympathetic system, the cell-minds and the mental basis of cure, among others. The text quotes Tuke as saying that mind, through sensory, motor, vaso-motor and trophic nerves, causes changes in sensation, muscular contraction, nutrition and secretion. The text quotes Von Hartmann as saying that in willing any conscious act, the unconscious will is evoked to institute means to bring about the effect.
The text says Quimby, thinking deeply regarding the cures he was making, soon came to the conclusion that while his cures were genuine, his theories were wrong, and gradually evolved the idea that diseases are caused by erroneous thinking. The text says the Sympathetic System joins all parts of the organism so closely together that trouble in one part is reflected in other parts.
