The Law of Psychic Phenomena A working hypothesis for the systematic study of hypnotism, spiritism, mental therapeutics, etc.

"The Law of Psychic Phenomena" by Thomson Jay Hudson is a late 19th-century publication that attempts to create a framework for understanding psychic phenomena. It suggests a theory to systematically examine hypnotism, spiritism, and mental healing. Hudson connects different psychic events through a general principle to close understanding of how the human mind works in unexplained ways. The book begins by explaining why psychology needs a central idea, like those in fields such as physics. Hudson introduces the idea of two parts to the human mind: one that understands the world through senses and another that works beyond those limitations. He then examines hypnotism and other connected phenomena, trying to show how the mind deals with the world.
