Summary

In The Hidden Self, William James investigates the obscure regions of consciousness that lie beneath ordinary waking awareness: automatisms, trance states, divided attention, subliminal perception, and the strange phenomena associated with religious and psychical experience. Written in James's characteristically lucid, exploratory prose, the work belongs to the late nineteenth-century moment when psychology was emerging from philosophy while still conversing with literature, religion, and medicine. Its style is empirical yet speculative, balancing case-based observation with a humane fascination for the varieties of inward life. James, one of the founders of modern psychology and a major American philosopher of pragmatism, was uniquely equipped to write such a study. His medical training, philosophical breadth, and long engagement with abnormal psychology and psychical research led him to challenge narrow accounts of the mind. The book reflects his conviction that consciousness is not a fixed, transparent unity but a dynamic field with margins, depths, and hidden continuities. This book is recommended to readers interested in psychology, philosophy, religious experience, and the intellectual history of the unconscious. It remains valuable not as a settled doctrine, but as a bold invitation to take seriously the mind's neglected frontiers.

    There is Power in the Tongue:...

    The tongue is a power part of the body. In terms of size that can be seen, the size of the tongue is relatively small. The weight of tongue in the male is averagely 70 grams while in the female is about 60 grams. However, the tongue has potential to do great and mighty things. It has a deep connection with the human heart. That is to say, beyond physical anatomy of the tongue, there is more about the spiritual effect of the tongue. As the spirit world supersede the physical, so is the spiritual effect of tongue goes beyond the physical structure of it. 
    Yes, there is power in the tongue, your tongue is so powerful that it can improve or destroy your entire life. A lot of people ended their life in the prison yard because of the way they use their tongue, despite the fact that they are innocent. Many people passed to the great beyond untimely, because of the use of the tongue. Employment seekers fail interview because of the way they use their tongue.  The tongue is so powerful that it can destroy a whole nation; it can cause war in between two countries. 
    According to the book of Ephesians. 4:29: Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen: The tongue has the capacity to determine what you become and you will not. God, the Almighty Creator of all things, understood the potent weapon called tongue this by placing tongue in a “double jail”: the lips and the teeth. The only way the tongue exhibit its potency is through spoken word. Have you ever wondered why God kept tongue in such prison? I feel it simply because He wants the individual to be responsible for the use of his or her tongue. Lest one say, I never knew when I said such. Therefore, every man is responsible for letting the tongue out of “the double prisons.” 
    When you take time to look at the story of creation, the world we see and all the beautiful things that are in it were created by the spoken word of the Almighty. Hence, you will understand the power given to the instrument or tool through which words are spoken. As I have stated earlier, the tongue is deeply connected to the human heart. Your tongue is just a faithful representative of your heart. Your tongue is “the painter” which gives the picture of the state of your heart. Where you are and where you will reach in life are both functions of how you use your tongue. 
    Have you ever desired to change your status? Perhaps you have been wondering how you can get out of that predicament, and you are wondering where to start. You need not look far, start by watching the use of your tongue. Your status is as good as the way you use your tongue. 
    Of course, I admit that it’s difficult for a natural man to put in check the use of the tongue. This is due to his state of heart. Be that as it may, if you will ever see any improvement or advancement, it is high time you started changing your vocabularies. Form negativity to positive words. From the story of woes to good news. From murmuring to giving thanks, from cursing to blessing. 
    Though, many people through ignorance carelessly use this lethal weapon and thereby limit themselves and destiny of people around them. This book seeks to reveal to you the potency force behind the use of tongue as well as how you can begin to use this faithful servant to create the world you desire.

    Introduction 
    ‘’And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.’’                                                                                
                                                                                                Luke 24:49 
      
    Friend, it is time to walk in power and authority! You are a creature of power; you have to become conscious of the power in your walk with God. Power is the ultimate! It’s time to walk into your liberty and get to your Canaan land! Your land flowing with honey and milk is waiting for you to possess. 
    In my country, Nigeria, we have three major tribes namely the Hausa’s, the Yoruba’s and the Ibo’s.  The Ibo men are looking for money and they have it. Yoruba men are looking for education and they have it. Hausa men are looking for power and they have it. But the Hausa men are controlling both those with money and those with certificates. A man in power can control a man with money and with degrees. You can hate a man with power but you are still under him. You can speak grammar more than him but you are still under him. Just one decision he will make can affect your source of money. 
    That is why Jesus did not promise His disciples money or scholarships. But he said: ‘’ And ye shall receive power……… 
    Because He understands that there are powers of darkness that are on assignment against our lives. Do not just pray for promotion in the office. Pray for promotion in the school of power. No matter how religious you are, Pharaoh won’t let you go without a demonstration of power. Your grammar, your education or your money makes no difference. 
    Friend, the kingdom of God is not in words, but in the demonstration of the Spirit and of POWER! (1 Cor.2:4). 
     The power I am talking about is the RESURRECTION POWER! 
     In the book of John 11:25, ‘’Jesus said unto her (Martha), I am the resurrection and the life; he that believeth in me though he were died, yet shall he live.’’ 
         The resurrection power is the power that makes alive! It is the power that creates! It is the power that will ascend you to glory! This power will give you ceaseless open doors, breakthroughs and victory in life! The resurrection Power is not a theology; it is a person. 
         The resurrection power is the ultimate power for the believers! 
      
    In this book, you are going to have an unforgettable encounter with His resurrection power. Can you cry to heaven for His power this day?
