Chemistry is the science which treats of the intra-atomic or the intra-molecular changes which material things undergo under various influences. Mental is defined as “of or appertaining to the mind, including intellect, feeling, and will, or the entire rational nature.” Science is knowledge gained and verified by exact observation and correct thinking. Mental chemistry is, therefore, the science which treats of the changes which material conditions undergo through the operations of the mind, verified by exact observation and correct thinking. As the transformations which are brought about in applied chemistry are the result of the orderly combination of materials,. | MENTAL CHEMISTRY By Charles F. Haanel MENTAL CHEMISTRY Chemistry is the science which treats of the intra-atomic or the intra-molecular changes which material things undergo under various influences. Mental is defined as of or appertaining to the mind including intellect feeling and will or the entire rational nature. Science is knowledge gained and verified by exact observation and correct thinking. Mental chemistry is therefore the science which treats of the changes which material conditions undergo through the operations of the mind verified by exact observation and correct thinking. As the transformations which are brought about in applied chemistry are the result of the orderly combination of materials it follows that mental chemistry brings about results in a like manner. Any conceivable number may be formed with the Arabic numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0. Any conceivable thought may be expressed with the 26 letters of the alphabet. Any conceivable thing can be organized with the 14 elements and always and only by the proper grouping of electrons into molecules. When two or more molecules are grouped a new individuality is created and this individuality which has been called into being possesses characteristics which are not possessed by either of the elements which gave it being. Thus one atom of sodium and one of chlorine give us salt and this combination alone can give us salt and no other combination of elements can give us salt and salt is something very different from either of the elements of which it is composed. What is true in the inorganic world is likewise true in the organic--certain conscious processes will produce certain effects and the result will invariably be the same. The same thought will always be followed by the same consequence and no other thought will serve the purpose. This must necessarily be true because the principle must exist independently of the organs through which they function. Light must exist--otherwise there could be no .
