68 HEREDITY. 



diately recalled my first visit to the great cataract, 

 the impression it made upon me, the friends with 

 oTT hinSn >mena wnom ^ was associated, and many things inci- 

 dental to my visit at Niagara. Thus the impres- 

 sion gave rise to several minutes of conscious men- 

 tation and caused the reviving and readjustment 

 of many thought forms. 



Thought forms, or mental images, feelings, 

 emotions, sentiments or desires oft repeated be- 

 come fixed characteristics of the soul. All estab- 

 lished thought forms have their physical basis in 

 ^ ie ^ ram - Repeated thoughts, images or emo- 

 tions, establish nerve paths, which tend strongly 

 to control the future thinking and conduct. Thus 

 by our thinking we are continually molding the 

 character of the soul, forming brain paths and 

 determining our future possibilities and tend- 

 sencies. Truly, ''As a man thinketh in his heart, 

 so is he"
