Fall tim e brought nutting parties w ith all th e ir a tten d an t hilarity, and oh, the joy of cam ping out and sitting a round a big log an d brush fire telling h a ir­lifting Stories, till w e w ere afraid to n turn in." H om e w e cam e, laden w ith nuts of all descrip tions — hickory nuts, w alnuts, pecans, hazelnuts — n P eace tha t passe th all u n derstand ing n — the gathering a round the ch ee r­ful, o pen fire-place in m id-w inter cracking nuts, jokes

an d now and then a finger-nail! A nd som e " apples sputtering in a row," also!

" W h at m atter how the night behaved,W h at m atter how the North w ind raved,Blow high, blow low, not all the snow,C ould quench our hearthfire’s ruddy glow !n

Cfl Yes, and I very vividly recall the m any back-logs I have helped to m anufacture, out of good old oak an d hickory, an d have helped burn a few as well. G lorious tim es those — w e d id n ’t really know how h ap p y w e w ere. W e never indulged in anyth ing but new thought those days. But this rem inds m e tha t the ed ito r asked m e to w rite along the line of N ew T hough t and here I have been indulging in old thoughts. W ell, that nam e is to blam e for it. It Start­ed m e off on a train of revery and rem iniscence, and I d id n ’t seem to be able to run it on a switch. It ap ­p ea red to have the right of way. But to be abso lu te­ly frank, I d o n ’t care a button for the New T hough t tha t entirely ignores the old.CJ But to m y task. Sitting by a bright fire, w ith the fore-Stick doing full duty, w ay out here on the shore of P uget Sound, the w ind, right off old Pacific, how l­ing an d m oaning around the corners of m y den , the

evergreens sw ishing against the w indow s — all p ro ­duce a condition that m ight well inspire one to w rite of the N ew T hough t for the Back-Log. T h e term N ew T hou g h t " covers a m ultitude of sins 11 — it runs the gam ut from low er C to 1 w ay up in G." It Strikes the high p laces from the Christian Scientists w ho b e ­lieve there is no m atter to the F ree ThoughtiSts w ho assert there is no th ing but m atter. T hese tw o ex­trem e positions can be beSt illustrated by the defini­tions given to m ind and m atter by som e one, I d o n ’t rem em ber w ho, w ith a touch of sarcasm in his m ak e­up. n W h at is m atter? N ever M ind. W h at is m ind? No m atter." A n d in the final analysis this abo u t ex­presses the sum of w isdom , the finality of ev idence so far ob ta ined on the subject. It is really a m atte r of definitions. W e w itness the p h en o m en a an d in the en d eav o r to explain muSt have certain term s to express our findings. " N ever m ind, no m atter " — it is all the sam e — for convenience w e call one m anifestation m ind an d the o th e r m atter.<| Yes, the N ew T hough t is abou t as bad ly m ixt up as religion, and there are about as m any sedts in p ro ­portion to the n u m b er of adheren ts — each w ith its se lf-appo in ted lead er w ho has d iscovered (o r th inks

he has) som e hitherto unknow n secret in the realm of m ind o r m atter, and he (or she) proceeds to ring the changes on it — for a consideration. A little heaven is organized, the Devil is ca£t out, paradise is regained an d re ta ined by certain m ethods and practises, an occult system is established and a following is obtained. A n d the StrangeSt feature is the w onderful success of these m ultiplying I Ams. W hat is the secret — w here lies the explanation? ■ Simply the w eakness of the in ­dividual, and the desire to be helped — to lean on som ething or som ebody. By announcing your ability to help such peop le and your inclination to be used as a leaning post, you at once obtain the required fol­lowing. " I Am , (truly) success." T he m ore mysticism an d occultism you can throw around your w ork, the greater num ber of adepts and myStics and m ahatm as an d yogis you can have at your beck and call, the m ore positive your affirmations, the greater the suc­cess. Still I recognize the difference betw een peop le an d tha t w hat appeals to one m ay not attract another. All is good — these various schools are m erely the ex­pression of individualities, and are doing the ir work. U nless the ir professions are based upon hypocrisy, if they believe w hat they teach, they are not only help-

ing others, bu t are developing th e ir ow n beings as well.

Now, w hat is the kernel of N ew T h o u g h t ph iloso­phy? It is all well enough to be " in tune w ith the Infinite," bu t safety, sanity and serenity require that you also be in touch w ith the finite an d at least let your feet touch the high p laces so tha t you d o n ’t get into a quagm ire m eanw hile. If the N ew T h o u g h t sig­nifies anything, it is the fuel used to burn the dross out of hum an nature; it is the Stuff out of w hich ch ar­ac ter is fashioned; it is the great individualizing es­sence of the universe; it is tha t w hich caSts out all hu ­m an passions; it ban ishes all fear, augm ents sym pathy, engenders a sp irit of helpfulness that m akes life truly w orth living. It finds " serm ons in Stones, tongues in the runn ing brooks and good in everything." It d e ­lights in the overw helm ing good of Em erson an d en ­joys equally well the rep ea ted adm onitions of S chopen­h a u e r to be not expectan t of good leSt you be d isap ­poin ted . T h ere is truth and beau ty in all these great soul expressions. Extrem es are necessary, no doubt, but I am for the m idd le ground. T h e sup rem e lesson the N ew T hough t teaches is to d ep en d on self, d evel­op the individual. T hose w ho are alw ays looking for

som e far aw ay good to be enjoyed in som e far dis­tan t future, in association w ith som e far rem oved P o ­tency, are losing the present opportunities for ad ­vancem ent. In endeavoring to unravel the future w e frequently get the skeins of the presen t entangled.

But m y fore-Stick is burning out and I’ll have to Stop to replenish . In the m eantim e the Back-Log will continue to throw out its heat and bright rays of light upon a com fortless w orld — there, that fore-Stick has dropt, and I’ll d rop the pencil till ano ther Back-Log isneeded .

Dodtor and PatientWhy You Consult Me

AM Doctor (T eacher) Rullison — a " P a th ­finder,” as i t were. One who, o f necessity, m ust be m isunderstood by th e masses, as they have not lived my ideal, practised my teach ­

ings, or come to my point o f view in understanding. H u ­m ankind can realize little th a t they have not experienced in feeling and action, th en they thoughtlessly follow cus­tom s w hether they are real or unreal, evil or unevil.

I understand you — even if you do not understand m e.

In changing a " life plan ” from sickness, dis-ease, un-ease (d e a th ) , into reality of being, one cannot expect to bring about a reverse or transform ation all a t once, as th e evil, th e fall, has gone th ru an era o f disobeyance of th e universal law perhaps since b irth , e ither consciously, or unconsciously.

NOW L E T M E T A L K :

I am called — Doctor. B ut I am no m ore a doctor in the sense I once was. I have learned b e tte r . I have changed. As to W hy — and How — I can b e tte r explain by word of m outh. In doctorship, I have grown away from nearly everything but legal branding, which belongs to the

undevelopm ent of my medical b rethren , and not to myself.T here are ju st " Two Reasons ” for a well man

(w here is the re one?) or a sick man interviewing me.T he first reason would be — an innate desire to know

at least some tru th , and to be put in the wray to be set free from, or to prevent, sickness and disease.

T he second reason would be — a call thru " morbid curiosity ” and after spending much tim e, still remaining in doubt, and continuing the practise of the dying process day by day.

I really desire th a t the la tte r class do not come to m e, as they lose the ir tim e, and take up mine.

T here are two or th ree classes of diseased persons.T he first class includes the dead one — in mind, who

wants to be cured by " an elixir of life in a bo ttle ” w ith­out any information on the part of th e curer, except, some­tim es, a guarantee. Such an one is a life customer for th e A llopath, A ll-o-path, practitioner, who invariably doctors and drugs humans as " they want ” or have been tau g h t, appealing wholly to their ignorance, spending lit tle or no tim e in talk to educate them .

T he second class includes those -who are partially alive — having dared to think thoughts regarding the ir real

selves, but still in doubt, want medicine, and as much in­form ation as they can g e t regarding them selves; sort of triflers and half-ways, who carry home the ir new plans on­ly to have them knocked into sm ithereens by some indi­vidual w ith a fossilized mind who cannot know or com pre­hend tru th , and says: Go righ t back to our old doctor (another fossil perhaps), who is aged, stands well in soci­e ty , and enjoys a large practise.

These th ree classes can be classified as hopeless, par­tially hopeless, and excessively hopeful. T hey can be known as negative, half negative, and positive.

So now you have it. This is for you, whoever you may be. Make the best of it, and the most out o f it , th a t your developm ent will allow. You can certainly " find yourself ” in th e defined action in mortal man. T hen you can decide w hat " you ” want to do.

I f you want to live, you had best prepare for life. If you want to die, habit yourself worse than you are, or stand righ t where you are, tha t you may soon get off the earth and make food for th e worms.

No human is able to direct life, who does not live life. Any director of health who is " rounded ” in body and full o f form is carrying about disease, has no judgm ent re ­garding you, beyond handling you like a load of wood, or a ton of coal. This is the reason for so much surgery a t the present day, w ith fee attachm ent also considered, as well as so much poisoning and useless drugging.

♦I MONOTONY is the opiate of life. It deadens, clogs, paralyzes, and finally insanity results. It is the never end ing business routine, w ithout the essential relax­ation, tha t conspires to underm ine that successful busi­ness and ultim ately consigns it to the colum n of fail­ures. T here is m uch said about concentration in the m any m anuals of success being distributed about the world, but too m uch concentration is a dangerous thing. O nly the intellectually indolent or the business drudge can long be satisfied w ith one kind of envi­ronm ent o r one continuous em ploym ent o r occupa­tion. E ven the cow longs for a change of pasture occasionally and calves have been know n to volun­tarily quit a sp lend id hom e and w an d er off — no doubt grow ing w eary of the m onotony of their lives. § W e have all heard of the peop le w ho have never been outside their counties, of the good old lady w ho has nev er ventured near a train, and num erous others w ho have distinguished them selves by sundry resem ­b lances to p lan t life, but no person of am bition or adtivity envies them . In proportion as w e locom ote do w e develop physically, and likewise as w e express ourselves variously on the m ental p lane do w e grow a nim ble intellect.

€J T oo m uch variety is just as destructive as too m uch m onotony — b o th are crippling an d enervating in th e ir tendencies. T h e one b reeds the o ther. If o n e ’s life has b een uneventful, uninspiring, c ram ped and lim ited, there com es a strong desire a t tim es to jum p the corral an d dash out in search of som eth ing new — a spirit of adven tu re seizes the sufferer from too m uch sam eness, an d there m ay result a w ild orgy of varie­ty. Such an individual grows d runk on restlessness, an d the intoxicated condition m ay laSt for quite a period . T his is particularly true if he is w orth saving, if there is enough spirit w ith in the cosm os to refuse to die a m onotonous death .

Don’t blame the world. It’s better Than the man who wants to be

A somebody, but lives to save The undertaker’s fee.

For surely he’s a dead oneO n our Strenuous preserves.

A wooden coat, six feet of earth,Are all that he deserves.

Go chase yourself around the block,Then chase around some more,

And Start the blood to circulate,And sweat from every pore.

Then change your face and change your sox,And change your atmosphere.

And change your dope for Heaven’s brew,To Start the glad New Year.

Now this is my advice to you,But have you got the sand

To buck againSt temptation, and To play a winnin’ hand?

If so, then shake; God speed you on;Y ou’ll win; juSt persevere.

And if you’ve never been a man,Begin with the New Year.

Sex and LoveB y ABRA HAM SCHARFFENBERG

" The n igh t has a thousand eyes,And the day but one;

Y et th e light of the bright world dies W ith the dying sun.

T he mind has a thousand eyes, T he heart but o n e ;

Y et the light of a whole life dies W hen love is done.”

H E A L T H Y condition of the sex power and its organs depends primarily on th e health of th e body in general. Besides, th e re is but one reliable general ru le: Keep th e mind

S O U N D V ! E V! 23

pure with chaste thoughts, and th e physical organs clean w ith w ater. T he first half of this rule, how ever, implies far more than we commonly imagine.

Sexual weakness of any kind m ust necessarily be less­ened by observing health rules, and, in most cases, if one works w ith zeal and conscientiousness, be entirely cured. In more severe cases one should apply to some specialist, and th is would, o f course, do no harm in any circumstances. B ut go always, if possible, to some one who m akes use of th e new er, drugless m ethods, as massage, osteopathy, electricity , or th e w ater cure, and ra th e r to one who thor- oly understands more than one of them . In no circum ­stances is i t advisable to rely on any of th e host o f medical quacks who trea t by mail. A nd this advice m ay w ith safety be followed in regard to diseases of any kind.

T he sex power is th e very finest and noblest o f all forces w ithin th e human organism. T he feeling of shame which m ere reference the re to often causes proves th a t its righ t natu re has not been understood. I t is dependen t not only on physical organs and secretions, bu t is prim arily an expression of th e soul, a quintessence of th e m ind, which strengthens courage, enterprise, and the character in gen­eral, which sharpens th e m em ory, reason, and th e religio- philosophical sentim ents. In o ther words, th a t influence

which a man and a woman — both healthy and normal — exert on one another, in intim ate psychic and m ental in­tercourse, is the most powerful spur to success in life. All mind power can, by means of thought transference, act betw een people independent of physical contact — and a t long distances,— and this holds good in regard to th e sex power in a most high and easily noticeable degree. Betw een lovers, by circumstances separated but true to each other in though t, there is continually such exchange of m ental force, stimulating within them hope and cour­age to strive and wait.

But even within married life does this manifestation of th e sex power, sometimes referred to as Platonic love, play an im portant part. I t increases the strength and en­durance of the married partners, of which qualities they become specially in need to m eet th e increased duties and responsibilities which follow with the children. For, to bring new beings into this world should, of course, be the primary purpose of marriage — th a t is, if th e sta te of health of th e two is such th a t they may expect normal offspring,— yet w ithin reasonable lim its, so th a t the ir own forces and lives are not wrecked thereby.

I f th e prospective parents have prepared them selves, thru soul and body culture, for parenthood, this will prove

highly desirable, instead of som ething to be dreaded.I t is often asserted th a t no one’s character is fully ri­

pened before one has heard th e faint cry from th e new , helpless creature of one’s own flesh and blood — or, ra th ­er, flesh and mind.

Possibly th e re are many exceptions to this ru le , b u t i t is certain th a t those who have th e opportunity of becom ­ing parents lose much if they shun th is , th e ir du ty to th e human family. T he ripening which th e trials o f p aren t­hood cause both parents should not be accompanied by a w ithering, for by entering into th e life of th e child, th e parents them selves become more youthful. T here is un ­doubtedly a deep tru th in th e saying th a t th e child has as much to teach th e paren t as vice versa.

T he physical sex organs and secretions are to be lookt upon as th e source of the creative power, its negative pole, as it w ere, while its corresponding positive pole is to be found in its psychic manifestations. Viewed in th is ligh t, i t is easy to understand how unnecessary w aste o f th e sex forces, or any misuse of the sexual organs, m ust lead to th e ruin of both body and character, while th e rig h t use th e re ­o f — and only this — may give us a realization of th e h ighest possible happiness.

Sexual weakness, which is so common an ailm ent, em-

bittering th e existence of almost one half of hum anity, has its principal cause in ignorance. Children grow up with perverted ideas, as th a t " the stork ” brought them into th e world, e tc ., and are left to speculate about these things la te r, e ither alone, or in company with equally ig­norant playm ates. And thus arise those tem ptations which always accompany secrets and " forbidden fru it ,” and the mind eats of the apple of Good and Evil before its tim e and m ust suffer th e consequences w ith th e advan­cing years.

Children ought to be encouraged, early and with kindness, by the ir parents, to turn to them only for inform­ation, and they ought to be taught the whole natural tru th , as soon as questions arise in their minds. I t should be especially impressed on the ir minds th a t the sexual or­gans are sources of life and health , of manliness or beauty, and should therefore be extrem ely well taken care of. Children, thus instructed , are not only them selves saved from self-abuse, a false step which the majority o f the young sooner or la ter take, but they may also become guardian angels to less happily informed playmates.

Ignorance leads to false modesty which prevents the free unfoldm ent of the m ind ; th e unvarnished tru th is the best protection of true innocence.

B ut fatal m istakes are com m itted by many even after m arriage. T he worst o f these is an in tem pera te gratification of th e sex desire. M any are led to th is by purely good in ten tion , m isdirected by false and exaggerated notions of " n a tu re ’s dem ands,” which often have the ir root in igno­ran t advice given in books, and sometimes by physicians. A question of im portance to th e young and inexperienced m arried is therefore th is : W hat is th e rule for th e happymedium in marriage? T here is no rule as regards fixt in ­tervals, for th e re is hardly any phase of hum an n a tu re in which different people vary as m uch, in regard to need and ability , as in th e sex life.

T he old idea is th a t it ought to be regulated en tirely according to th e wish of th e husband, and th e wife should be wholly submissive to him . This, how ever, seems to be a ru le which undoubtedly has its origin in the age o f po­lygamy. T h e very la test theory (apparently genuinely American in its natu re) is th a t th e man is always ready b u t th e woman only a t certain tim es, because of which her wish alone should be considered. B ut ne ither o f these can be correct.

A general rule for th e young, one th a t is extrem ely im portant to recognize and th e good results of which ripen w ith th e coming years, is th is: For th e young in

general, do not le t the thought dwell on the sexual feel­ings, or on sexual intercourse; take hold of something to do which occupies the attention , some study or useful manual work, and thus lead th e creative forces to useful­ness: and for th e m arried, instead of satisfying the physic­al sex craving as often as there may be opportunity, do it as seldom as possible.

But there is a basic principle of chastity applicable w ithin as well as outside of marriage, which up to the pres­en t tim e is but little understood, even by people who lay claim to be regarded as cultured — and yet this principle is the foundation of all true culture. Every individual must so develop his self-respect, th a t inner feeling of regard for himself, th a t he never consciously enters with his thought into th e mind of another, in order to awaken desires which are not spontaneous. T hat one mind can exert an influ­ence directly on another, often to a trem endous degree, is a condition one may become convinced of w ithout making a special study of hypnotism. I t is a phenomenon which has occurred, in a lesser or a greater degree, ever since life began on this earth . But because of this no one should ever imagine th a t he has the righ t to make unrestrained use of this power, any more than one would secure rights by th e use of one’s fists because of being a skilled

S O U N D V 1 E V I 29

pugilist.Freedom is m an’s foremost treasure; w ithout it life is

as valueless as it is w ithout health . W ho takes advantage of ano ther’s weakness of will, and rudely in trudes upon th a t o th e r’s m ind, in order to cause him (h e r) to act against his (h e r) own will, deprives th is fellow-being of his freedom ,and both will suffer, as the slave and th e slave-hold­er. And if this o ther is a m ate, bound by th e iron fe tte rs of th e law, th en the crime against self-respect is so much g rea ter; in fact, who does this has not w ithin him th e first requisite for deserving the ep ithet of lady or gentleman. Y et, m any, thoughtlessly, become guilty o f such injustice, ' often only partly conscious thereof, since th e voice of con- <« science has been silenced, and to heaven cry th e sufferings endured in m arried life by weak women, and also m en, on - J account of th is lack of self-respect and self-control o f th e m ate. ^ ^ T h e m arriage ceremony can certainly not confer^ ownership of ano ther’s body, or s o u l^ J ta th e r , i t should be lookt upon as a contract, by which th e two reserve th e righ t o f exchanging the ir inner feelings and forces, when they both so desire, excluding th e rest o f the world in this respect^f’T h a t th e wife should be submissive to th e husband may be reasonable in th e respect th a t he assumes th e re ­sponsibilities of supporting and outwardly protecting th e

S$

family, and therefore should be regarded as leader and m aster. But this cannot very well be construed as lim it­ing the wife’s ownership of her own person. Experience shows th a t th e nearer to equality they come in the ir re ­lation, the b e tte r cooperation and the more happiness results.

A necessary condition for a happy married life is m u­tual and perfect confidence.^ W here this obtains, the g rea test obstacles to success may be rem oved; w here it is lacking Sorrow soon becomes a guest, and a final victor. But m utual confidence is absolutely unthinkable when self- respect does not exist in husband and wife to the degree th a t both feel perfectly free.<"^ I f self-preservation, with either, is called jo life when-fvniy tender love should form th e Milk, one ( th e weaker) is involuntarily led to see

enemy in th e one who should be a helpm eet, and a guide. T he animal passion, a t the foundation, is m erely a craving for pleasure, an allurem ent of nature to further propagation; w ith man this ought to be entirely under th e control o f m utual good will.

In this self-control in feeling is then to be found th e foundation to all moral life. " Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath com mitted adultery w ith her in his h e a r t.” Only by conceiving th e sex power as an

expression o f th e soul, and by considering the laws of te ­lepathy , can we rightly understand these words, f W hat takes place in " th e heart ” is th e cause on which follows, sooner or la te r, imm orality in word and deed , as sure a§ th u n d er follows on lightning,

Sex desire is som ething good, and sex love will undoubtedly play a part in the continued ev­olution of m ankind far more im portant than a t the presen t we can imagine. For i t is a d irect ex ­pression of th e universal creative force. T he original sex instinct of th e natural m an, however, com pared with the in te lligen tly cu ltu red , softened, and beautified feeling, is as th e w ild, simple rose by the side of th e beauteous, frag ran t flower of the garden.

T he first condition for such culture is th a t th e control­ling sen tim ent, which is here referred to , becomes awa­kened w ithin everybody.

•jj C R E D O — I believe in living up to my highest, in doing eight hours’ work each day, that to be idle is to be vicious, in being steadily sincere but not se­rious, in spending at leaSt one hour out of every 24 in Study, meditation, and self-improvement, in being at peace with myself, which can only be obtained by being at peace with my fellows, and in harmony with the great Central Law of the universe, I believe in the Immanence of God, which is the in­spiration of the New Theology, and that Love I-S God Himself, In Dis­guise, and Not an attribute of Him — Charles CKCatthew Berkheimer

Solitude

To sit on rocks, to muse o ’er flood and fell,

To slowly trace the forest’s shady scene,

W here things th a t own not m an’s dominion dw ell,

And m ortal foot hath n e ’er or rarely been;

To climb th e trackless mountain all unseen.

W ith the wild flock th a t never needs a fo ld ;

Alone o ’er steeps and foaming falls to lean:

This is not solitude; ’tis but to hold

Converse w ith N atu re’s charms, and view her stores un­rolled.

But m idst th e crowd, the hum , th e shock of men,To hear, to see, to feel, and to possess,

And roam along, th e world’s tired denizen,W ith none who bless us, none whom we can bless; Minions of splendor shrinking from d istress!

None th a t, w ith kindred consciousness endued.I f we were not , would seem to smile th e less

O f all th a t flattered, followed, sought, and sued:This is to be alone; this, this is solitude. BYRON
