Paperback. THE MIND, OR CONSCIOUSNESSWe are to study the mind and its education; but how? It is easy to under-stand how we may investigate the great world of material things aboutus; for we can see it, touch it, weigh it, or measure it. But how are we todiscover the nature of the mind, or come to know the processes by whichconsciousness works? For mind is intangible; we cannot see it, feel it, tasteit, or handle it. Mind belongs not to the realm of matter which is known tothe senses, but to the realm of spirit, which the senses can never grasp. Andyet the mind can be known and studied as truly and as scientifically as canthe world of matter. Let us first of all see how this can be done.1. HOW MIND IS TO BE KNOWNTHE PERSONAL CHARACTER OF CONSCIOUSNESS.-Mind can beobserved and known. But each one can know directly only his own mind, and not another's. You and I may look into each other's face and there guessthe meaning that lies back of the smile or frown or flash of the eye, and soread something of the mind's activity. But neither directly meets the other'smind. I may learn to recognize your features, know your voice, respond to3 GEORGE HERBERT BETTSthe clasp of your hand; but the mind, the consciousness, which does yourthinking and feels your joys and sorrows, I can never know completely. In-deed I can never know your mind at all except through your bodily acts andexpressions. Nor is there any way in which you can reveal your mind, yourspiritual self, to me except through these means.It follows therefore that only you can ever know you and only I can everknow I in any first-hand and immediate way. Between your consciousnessand mine there exists a wide gap that cannot be bridged. Each of us livesapart. We are like ships that pass and hail each other in passing but do nottouch. We may work together, live together, come to love or hate each other, and yet our inmost selves forever stand alone. They must live their own lives, think their own thoughts, and arrive at their own destiny.INTROSPECTIONTHE ONLYMEANS OF DISCOVERING NATUREOF CONSCIOUSNESS.-What, then, is mind? What is the thing that wecall consciousness? No mere definition can ever make it clearer than it is atthis moment to each of us. The only way to know what mind is, is to look inupon our own consciousness and observe what is transpiring there. In thelanguage of the psychologist, we must introspect. For one can never cometo understand the nature of mind and its laws of working by listening tolectures or reading text books alone. There is no psychology in the text, butonly in your living, flowing stream of thought and mine. True, the lectureand the book may tell us what to look for when we introspect, and how tounderstand what we find. But the statements and descriptions about ourminds must be verified by our own observation and experience before theybecome vital truth to us.HOW WE INTROSPECT.-Introspection is something of an art; it has tobe learned. Some master it easily, some with more difficulty, and some, itis to be feared, never become skilled in its use. In order to introspect onemust catch himself unawares, so to speak, in the very act of thinking, re-membering, deciding, loving, hating, and all the rest. These fleeting phasesof consciousness are ever on the wing; they never pause in their restless flight4 GEORGE HERBERT BETTS While the physical world yields to our senses, the elusive realm of the spirit remains hidden. To truly grasp the mechanics of th Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
