What is this thing called the mind? Why are we affected by the ideas that dominate our mind? For thousands of years man has studied the ability of the mind with great passion. It has been the quest of many to understand the contrast between truth and error in relation to the meaning of life, morality and the world and how we are affected by it. If it affects us so powerfully shouldn't we learn how to control it?
Benjamin Franklin Morris' book has been out of print for more than 100 years. If you can find an original copy, it's only because you have looked in the deep recesses of university libraries where the volume is probably collecting dust on dimly lit library shelves. Organizations like the ACLU and Americans United for Separation of Church and State have done their best to ignore the content of the massive compilation of original source material found in this book. If Americans ever become aware of the content assembled by the author, the arguments for a secular founding of America will turn to dust.
