. The Mind is the instrument you must employ for the accomplishment of any purpose.
[Sidenote: Three Postulates for this Course]
With these three fundamental propositions as postulates, it will be the end and aim of this Course of Reading to develop plain, simple and specific methods and directions for the most efficient use of the mind in the attainment of practical ends.
To comprehend these mental methods and to make use of them in business affairs you must thoroughly understand the two fundamental processes of the mind.
These two fundamental processes are the Sense-Perceptive Process and the Judicial Process.
The Sense-Perceptive Process is the process by which knowledge is acquired through the senses. Knowledge is the result of experience and all human experience is made up of sense-perceptions.
[Sidenote: Experience and Abstractions]
The Judicial Process is the reasoning and reflective process. It is the purely "intellectual" type of mental operation. It deals wholly in abstractions. Abstractions are constructed out of past experiences.
