Another result of a full comprehension of mentalism is that it makes possible a change of attitude towards the doctrine of reincarnation. Those who reject this doctrine because they are not interested in any past or future person who is not completely identical with their present person, do not perceive that this lack of interest arises out of their total self-identification with the physical body. They regard it to be the real "I." But this is utter materialism. For they do not see that the mental "I" is more really their self than the fleshly one. Mentalism can help greatly to rectify their error.
