This is the most difficult faculty of the unconscious mind to demonstrate because of its very nature; but sufficient experiments have been made to warrant the deduction expressed in the law above stated. If the theory of thought being a vibration is true, and if thought takes its place among the imponderable agents, heat, light, sound and electricity, which are modes of motion, then we will see at once the difficulty of bringing into practical use this faculty of the unconscious mind, or of demonstrating to the unthinking the fact of its existence. Let me illustrate: In wireless telegraphy instruments have been so delicately constructed that they can throw into vibration that rarefied form of matter known as ether, in which electricity manifests its activities, and instruments have been so delicately constructed that they will respond to the vibrations sent out by the first instrument. The one instrument is called the transmitter, the other the receiver. It is clear that some force must go from the transmitter to the receiver. It is easy to demonstrate that such a force exists, that it does its work; but how much further on could we go in the investigation if there were no code of signals to enable us to interpret the vibrations? To the ordinary mind standing by the receiving instrument, the sounds that it sends forth are meaningless. He knows some force is at work making those successive sounds, but that is all he knows and that is of no practical importance to him. But...
