This is used by some metaphysical workers as a synonym for mortal mind, but this is a mistake. There are few enough words to express metaphysical terms as it is. Animal magnetism is more properly used to mean the worst kind of evil thoughts, such as make a child tear the wings off a fly, and men behave in the cruel way they do sometimes when at war. It also brings about the savage attacks that mental workers sometimes make upon their fellow workers, which attacks can only be expressed as forms of mania. One can work against this by realising that there is no animal magnetism, all is Spirit and the manifestation of Spirit, the Principle of all purity and holiness.
