Mind Over Matter
"Mind over matter" is a phrase that first appeared in The Geological Evidence of the Antiquity of Man by Sir Charles Lyell (1797-1875) in 1863. It talks about the rising status and advancement of the minds of both animals and man throughout the history of the Earth.
This phrase was then made popular around the 1960s-70s. During this time, it was used to refer to psychokinesis, (the ability to move things with your mind) and other paranormal phenomenon, with the belief that the mind is more powerful than the body. The term was commonly used to describe how a person can avoid pain by simply using the power of his or her mind.
