While the terminology of the subject is still in a state of transition, nevertheless certain terms have sprung into common use and are employed tentatively by those who write and teach of these wonderful regions of the mind. Among these terms we find \"infra‐ conscious,\" which is used to designate the planes of mental activity below and above the ordinary plane of consciousness. In this term, the word\"infra\" is used in the sense of inner, within, etc., rather than its more familiar sense of \"below.\" Hence \"infraconscious\" means an inner consciousness, or withinconsciousness, and includes the mental planes commonly known as the \"sub conscious\" and \"super conscious,\"respectively. The term is far from being satisfactory, but it is used by psychologists, tentatively, and will be until some other more fitting term is evolved.  \nThe older school of psychology ignored, so far as possible, the infra‐ conscious planes and fields of mental activity, and regarded consciousness as synonymous with mind—and by \"consciousness\" was meant merely the plane of the ordinary consciousness. But the phenomena of the hidden planes of mentation would not stay in the dark corner in which the psychologists were compelled to place them, but would constantly present themselves most inopportunely, as if to perplex the teachers, and to confute their theories. And so, little by little, there was tacitly admitted to exist an unknown and unexplored region of the mind which was at first labeled\"unconscious mind,\" although the term was vigorously opposed by many of the authorities as contradictory and meaningless—but the quarrel was rather with the term than with the fact.  \nThe psychologists who began to use the term \"unconscious mind\" soon found sufficient authority among certain of the older writers, which served as a foundation for the newer theories and teachings which began to evolve  \nwhen the conception of the \"unconscious mind\" had begun to take upon itself the garb of scientific orthodoxy. It was found that Leibnitz had asserted that there were certain mental activities in evidence, which certainly manifested in the \"unconscious\" region of the mind, and the influence of the older philosopher was added to the new teaching. As Carpenter said: \"The psychologists of Germany, from the time of Leibnitz, have taught that much of our mental work is done without consciousness.\"Sir William Hamilton said: \"To this great philosopher (Leibnitz) belongs the honor of having originated this opinion, and of having supplied some of the strongest arguments in its support.\" Kay said: \"Leibnitz was the first to confute this opinion (that consciousness was coextensive with mind), and to establish the doctrine that there are energies always at work, and modifications constantly taking place in the mind, of which we are quite unconscious.\"  \nBasing the new conception upon Leibnitz and his followers, the psychologist began to","cbCair7gHciVJmdG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair7gHciVJmdG","pdf",547880,5,1,94,"English","en",105,"# Chapter I.
