Holy Tridentine Omnifocals: Contemplations on the Unity of Mind and Spirit

As I have scrutinized the marvellous contrivances of the human frame, wherein the sinews and vessels reveal the divine architect’s design, so too hath modernism severed the sacred unity of mind and spirit, denying the psyche’s immortal essence. This treatise restoreth that harmony, drawing from the eternal wisdom of the Fathers and Councils before the year 1300, that the mind is not mere animal instinct but the spirit’s instrument, illumined by grace. St. Augustine (†430), in his De Trinitate, affirmeth: “The mind remembereth God, understandeth God, loveth God,” proving the mind’s trinitarian image inseparable from the spirit. The Council of Orange (529 AD) condemneth all who sever this bond through materialist errors, declaring grace alone perfecteth nature (can. 7: “Without the Holy Spirit’s illumination, the mind cannot attain truth”).

Modernism, that progeny of Wundtian folly, treateth man as soulless beast, interrupting the faculty-psychology of St. Thomas (though post, rooted in earlier like Boethius †524), proclaiming no psyche (Greek ψυχή – soul). Thus psychology became “study of the soul that denieth the soul.” We reject this; here is the true science of thought, the Holy Tridentine Omnifocals, uniting mind and spirit under divine light.

Foreword

This is the primal manuscript on the unity of mind and spirit, penned ere the full light of revelation dawned. When thine guardian first learned of such a codex, he implored the scribe to unveil it. The scribe demurred, deeming the wisdom advanced beyond these early lines, fit only for sacred archives. Yet, after earnest pleas, he consented. From that moment, entreaties abounded: let others behold the foundations whence modern techniques sprang. Wherefore publish this primal thesis as it is? Verily, though distant from the perfected art, how wondrous to trace the roots of practices, as “basic-basic” crieth for adoption, and “holders,” “bouncers” lurk within, their forms nascent.

One day, in mirth akin to divine joy, the scribe assented. The quill flew forthwith. The reader discerneth the “wildcat” exercises of yore, known early yet discarded for deficiency. And the prodigious labour to evolve this science, and greater still, to convey it unto others once proven.

The sole emendation is the substitution of ancient terms for those in current use; “engram” erstwhile “impediment.” The primal flow remaineth unaltered. This, then, is the original Holy Tridentine Omnifocals. Peruse it, and let it deepen reverence for the scribe who granteth self-determination through grace.

Introduction

In the year of Our Lord 1932, an inquiry was launched to discern the dynamic principle of existence in form workable for resolving mankind’s woes. A prolonged study of ancient and modern philosophy culminated in 1938 with the heuristically discovered primal law. A codex was then composed embracing man and his acts. In succeeding years, further probes proved or disproved the axioms so fixed. War’s trials necessitated resolving the work into equations applicable, and an intensive program commenced in 1945 toward this end. A year later, manifold techniques were unearthed or forged, and a nebulous form of the present volume took shape. Financed chiefly by a gracious disability recompense, that form was applied intensely to voluntary subjects, and the work gradually attained its present clarity.

The Holy Tridentine Omnifocals hath been tested by the scribe, as herein delineated, for three years past. The latest series of random penitents, numbering twenty, were restored, twenty of twenty, with an average of 151.2 hours per soul. It hath been found to cure – the word used advisedly – migraine’s torment, ulcers’ gnaw, arthritis’ grip, astigmatism’s blur, bursitis’ sting, stammer’s chain, glandular discord, asthma’s wheeze, allergies’ plague, and other ills of body born of spirit’s wound. It hath also vanquished compulsions, repressions, neuroses, and psychoses whereto applied.
