Ethics of Mental Influence

The opening of Sub-Conscious Influences distinguishes proper use of supposed thought power from treatments directed toward selfish ends. It associates such misuse with what it calls Black Magic and asserts that adverse consequences return to the person employing it.

The continuation notes conflicting schools of explanation while asserting agreement about influence upon oneself and others. Its warning describes a web of psychic causes and effects supposedly woven by the practitioner's actions.

The ethical objection to manipulating others can be read separately from the alleged psychic mechanism. This source's assertions do not establish that distant thought treatments work, that a named person is directing them, or that occult retaliation occurs.
