The mental system is composed of many departments.

In each department there are a large number of menorgs who are especially trained for the work they are expected to do.

The size of the department and number of menorgs operating it depends upon the quantity of work that has to be performed.

A department grows in proportion to usage and that is decided by the mind.

The mind uses its mental faculties, as a rule, by following the general trend of the customs and habits of the people.

The customs and habits of the people have a tendency to retard development physically, mentally and spiritually.

The departments of sight, smell, taste, hearing, and feeling have been developed in man to a fair degree because they are necessary to his general welfare.

One of the departments of man’s mental system which has not been developed as yet, but which once brought into use will prove to be one of his foremost intellectual instruments, is Telementy.

That is a word that I have coined myself and define as follows:

TELEMENTY—The direct communication between operators of mental systems located in different bodies.

That simply means that the menorgs in the brain of one animal can communicate their thoughts to the menorgs in the brain of another animal.

So Telementy, or thought transference, is not such a difficult problem for man to overcome as he may think. All that is necessary to develop that faculty is for different minds to make a practice of utilizing it.

Transference of thoughts without the use of the voice is more natural and simplified than the method man now uses by grunts, squeaks, hisses and gestures.

By Telementy the menorgs send their messages direct without intermediate interruptions.

The menorgs grind out mentality in waves as man grinds out sound in waves and they pass from pressure points to suction points.

So if the suction instruments in one man’s brain are attuned to the pressure instruments in another man’s brain, then there is no difficulty in the transmission of thoughts from one to another.

If mankind will create the desire for this method of communication and will do the necessary practicing for a few generations the menorgs will do their part and build their department of Telementy to its most perfect state of usefulness.

In my book, Born Again, published in 1904, I wrote a whole chapter on this subject and showed how Telementy can be made one of the greatest factors for good by the human race.

It is not only the most natural and complete way to converse with one another but by it mankind can learn to think collectively as well as singly.

Thought is an element of life and a utility for the mental system.

Thoughts are sustenance for the brain, as air is for the lungs, or food is for the appetite; they are good and bad in quality, and it is within man’s power to accept or reject them at will.

By admitting good and rejecting bad thoughts, the brain acquires moral as well as mental strength but vice versa it is poisoned, and degeneracy is sure to follow.

Shut your eyes and you cannot see; close your brain and you cannot think. The broader the mind, the greater the ideas to enter.

Ignorance is bred from a closed mind; intelligence, from an open one.

Time is measured by thoughts, and pure meditation makes the days short and happy, while evil notions lengthen and depreciate them.

Evil minds will not favor the practice of Telementy because it will be impossible to conceal anything from their fellow beings. But that in itself will cause people to keep their minds clean and allow no impure thoughts to enter that will lower them in the estimation of their associates.
