“This mind is a part of the universal mind. Each mind is connected with every other mind. And each mind, wherever it is located, is in actual communication with the whole world. With preparations- not by chance thought transference work. A man wants to send a thought to another mind at a distance, and this other mind knows that a thought is coming, and he received it exactly as it is sent out. Distance makes no difference. But in the ordinary cases, it is not my thought that is reaching you direct; but my thought has got to be dissolved into ethereal vibrations and those ethereal vibrations go into your brain and they have to be resolved again into your own thoughts. This shows that there is a continuity of mind, as the yogis call it. The mind is universal. Your mind, my mind, all these little minds, are fragments of that universal mind, little waves in the ocean; and on account of this continuity, we can convey our thoughts directly to one another.”
