Book excerpt: The twin sciences of psychology and metaphysics have fared worse than any other science, and have been so separated in Europe as to have become in their ignorance mortal enemies. Modern psychology is a misnomer, even though it is claimed that it has “reached conclusions of great generality and truth, regarding all that can be known to man.” The modern psychologist, dealing only with the superficial brain-consciousness, is far more materialistic than the all-denying materialism itself. Brain-consciousness, or “personality,” is the consciousness inhering in the lower portion of the mortal manas-mind, which is correlated with the physical brain. It is a mere instrument for harvesting experience on behalf of the immortal Buddhi-Manas or Monad, and imparting to it the aroma of consciously-acquired experience.
