§ 165
This is how we may conceive the effect of mind upon body. The imagination, composed of its various qualities of images visual, auditory and other, involves the change in the sense organ and in the brain and the other organs connected. We are thus being changed continually, both body and mind, by impressions coming from without and by the reverberations of these impressions that are known as mental images.
Is it any wonder that the drama, and lately the moving picture, is recognized as one of the deepest transmuting influences in human life?
