As for Bradford, although it is possible that he shall have combed up a little Currency he will be a mere ordinary, sordid Business Man not one-two-seven when he tries to stack up against one who has just been delivered of a Thesis on the Correlated Phenomena of Unconscious Cerebration." While Brad was out in the back Townships short-changing the Farmers and buying 8 per cent.
His conclusions are interesting: that in the anergic cases there is an absence of cerebration, while amongst the delusional there is an abnormal presence of intense but perverted cerebration. This is not unlike our own view. He thinks the difference in memory is the most important differential point.
"Where are you hurt?" she answered, with a little authoritative wave of the hand, as if she waved my words away. She had firm, fine hands. "I have injured the patella I mean the knee-pan," I replied. She smiled indulgently. She did not take the trouble to tell me that my lesson in elementary anatomy was at all superfluous. But when I saw her smile I said: "That was unconscious cerebration."
But there 's a marriage ceremony and a binding to 'love, honor and obey, after which young women don't box their husbands' ears aha! at least, mine won't." "Instinctive, darling; not your fault. Unconscious cerebration; do you understand?" She did, a little, and she grievously disapproved of him. "Kiss me, dearest," he pleaded. "You kissed me once, when I first came home."
He had also begun to develop his doctrine of 'unconscious cerebration, that is, the existence of mental processes beneath, or apart from our consciousness. An 'ideational change' may take place in the cerebrum. The sensorium is 'unreceptive, so the idea does not reach consciousness. Sometimes, however, the idea oozes out from the fingers, through muscular action, also unconscious.
"Think," he said, "of the amount of thinking and feeling about sex that is going on in Cambridge this morning. The hundreds out of these thousands full of it. A vast tank of cerebration.
Unconscious cerebration, dreams, hypnotism, hysteria, inspirations of genius, the willing-game, planchette, crystal-gazing, hallucinatory voices, apparitions of the dying, medium-trances, demoniacal possession, clairvoyance, thought-transference, even ghosts and other facts more doubtful; these things form a chaos at first sight most discouraging.
It is in these varied forms of proof that the impregnable strength of the evidence lies, for how absurd do explanations of telepathy, unconscious cerebration or cosmic memory become when faced by such phenomena as spirit photography, materialisation, or the direct voice.
When I was in full training as a flaneur, I could stand on the Pont Neuf with the other experts in the great science of passive cerebration and look at the river for half an hour with so little mental articulation that when I moved on it seemed as if my thinking-marrow had been asleep and was just waking up refreshed after its nap. So the reader can easily account for the interval of silence.
The only time we were serious was when my wife and I sat alone, as we often did. Of course when I came to inquire at all into the matter I was met by Faraday's theory of involuntary muscular action, and also with the doctrine of unconscious cerebration I was quite ready to accept either. My own position, as far as I can recall it, then was that the spiritual agency was "not proven."
