Our normal waking consciousness . . . is but one special type of consciousness, whilst all about it, parted from it by the flimsiest of screens, there lie potential forms of consciousness entirely different.

No account of the universe in its totality can be final which leaves these other forms of consciousness quite disregarded.

— Mortimer Adler
Ella Wheeler Wilcox gave evidence of her understanding of the power of the subconscious mind when she wrote: You never can tell what a thought will do In bringing you hate or love-For thoughts are things, and their airy wings Are swifter than carrier doves. They follow the law of the universe-Each thing creates its kind, And they speed O'er the track to bring you back Whatever went out from your mind.
