Recognition is a mental process, mental action is therefore the interaction of the individual upon the Universal Mind, and as the Universal Mind is the intelligence which pervades all space and animates all living things, this mental action and reaction is the law of causation, but the principle of causation does not obtain in the individual but in the Universal Mind. It is not an objective faculty but a subjective process, and the results are seen in an infinite variety of conditions and experiences.

Remember that it is in the application alone that the value consists, and that a practical understanding of this law will substitute abundance for poverty, wisdom for ignorance, harmony for discord and freedom for tyranny, and certainly there can be no greater blessing than these from a material and social standpoint.

All I did was type "Each function of life and each action" into a Google search box and click enter. Try it and notice how Charles Haanel comes up, with a link to the text where it can be found. It's like pulling a string attached to a whole ball of YARN. Pun intended.

As it is now, it's going to take me the better part of a day to type out that chapter for DWTM (there is no online source and I don't have a scanner) and line it up side by side with the corresponding text from Haanel. This is part of the problem then. Finding this stuff is one thing, illustrating it is quite another.

However, the greater part of that chapter from DWTM, by Paul Twitchell, reads in places both similar and exact ... and it flows in similar order to what Haanel basically created when Paul Twitchell was probably no more than 3 years old! And it's not only that. There are other chapters in DWTM with a similar scheme. There are chapters in other books by Paul Twitchell too. Such as The Key to Eckankar and The Far Country; both of which feature Rebazar Tarzs.

Along with looking at the ideas I am also looking at the text and grammar that were used to express it. I am looking at how many similar words, sentences, paragraphs or pages were like copies of one another, but credited to a different source.
