Another working modus of the mind
is to think analytcally, that is to say,
logically. Under this modus thought
takes hold of unit and dismembers
it into its component parts, as for in
stance: the mind takes IL unit called
| city, analyses it into dwellings,,
streets, inhabitants, and so on.
These two processes of the mind
work conformity and cannot be taken
apart. Thought is forever syntheucal
and analytical in every thing under
its review. When it appears that the
mind works neither alphabetically nor
analytically concerning some object, 1t
is manifest. that either the mind is
abnormal or the object beyond cornpre
pension. 81 IL
This dual modus of thought, as we
have shown, enables the mind to uh-
Gerstand and clearly judge the correla-
| tion between an entity and its parts
and likewise the component parts CT
unit, their relation to the whole and
their undergraduates.
To illustrate further:
Let us assume that \. Is an .\meri-
| can citizen and B. is an American citi-
zen. Thought comprehends here two
different individuals as one thing. both
are American citizens. How can the
mind form such a judgment? 1t is
enabled to do so by introducing third
as common denomination. to wit, the
American People, which includes the
| components A. and b. Here the mind
works both logically and psychologist
ally. 1t perceives above The compon-
ents A. and b. the entity embracing
them, and their relation to the whole,
and vice versatile unity of the whole,
AID its relation TO its parts.
Where the mind fails to work along
| its dual process rs aforesaid con-
| fusion ensues, clear thinking is non
existent and impossible. This turbid
state of mind Incapable of producing
lucid concepts, will be productive. un-
| dor certain circumstances. either Of
superstition or else Of prejudice in
favor or against tho object under coli
| sideration.
The Mind and the Jewish People.
When we follow the popular mind
! and its workings when thinking of the
Jewish people and the Jews, we find
that it works neither psychologically
nor logically, that it labors in con
fusion and creates prejudice.
This fact is attested by the uni
4 versal prejudice against the Jew and
by the confusion of thought on tht
Jewish Question, All the answers tt
this question, as has been shown, ar,
self-contradictory and Illogical in III,
extreme.
Why then, is the mind of man pre-
Guided from working psychologically
and logically in the matter of Tho
Jews?
The answer found is, that the faul
/ lies not with the mind of man. blu
with the Jews themselves. Their col
lective shape-or rather shapelessnes
-precludcs the mind alike from syn
thesis and analysis.
The human mind follows its Owl
laws, and its thoughts of any matte
are shaped by the looks of the matte
itself, as for instance: leaves within

Social units composed of men, sucl

The Russian people is a fitting illu

no longer think of Russia and its PEG

The other clements, such as name

existence and corporate conduct. but
are all dependent upon the essential
of common representation and head
