Numbers Of men and women with
musical gifts have applied to me-"
said DR.. Quackenbos. for the transla-
tion Of latent into actual talent. In
such cases an appeal is made to the
self-regnant along the lines Of fearless
utterance. without thought of extrane-
GUS criticism. with. force. and feeling
and dramatic power.
"Of all the good work possible to a
suggestionist, that which is inspira-
tional In It's nature is by far the most
thrilling-the evocation Of genius
from the subconscious to the conscious
life in response to the dynamogenic
voice OF him who Is en- rapport"
Leaders of thought are becoming
conscious of superphysical world"
said DR.. Quackenbos, (which men have
sought to apprehend since man began
to think. Every human being is now
conceived of by students of mind as
existing simultaneously in two worlds,
described as the objective. suprali-
minal, or world of waking life-in
which he communicates through his
senses with the phenomenal universe
and the subjective or transliminal,
the world Of sleep, Of an all-compre-
hensive, extra-planetary or outside ex.
istence, of which the earth-life is but
fractional expression.
The Process Explained.
I'm q state of sleep, natural or In
duced, the objective consciousness is
in shadow. and the individual is prac.
tically excarnate by reason Of sus-
pended sense-activity. Hence he is
transliminally focused in all the.
phases of his personality and all the
infinity of his powers. 1t is then that
the dynamogenic touch that may work
a miracle of heating or reform or in.
spiration to the quick development OF
hidden genius may be impaired
II. BY fellow being who, owing
to the existence of mutual sympathy
and confidence, is en- rapport with the
sleeping subject. This is Suggestion.
III. BY the man objective to his own
subjective self. This is Auto or Self
Suggestion.
Various methods are in vogue of
inducing the suggestible state. The
technic adopted by myself involves ar
rest of the visual attention by bril-
liant jewel or some object in the
room, the concurrent establishment
OF the patients confidence In his de-
sire and ability to extend aid rapport
must be consensuaD, and monotonous
sleeping suggestions as an accompanl-
ment of impression by his personality

muscles, vacant stare, indolent audi.
ence, passive brain, blank objective
mind, reverie, sleep.
inspiration communicated in this
negative state of animal being calls
forth adequacy dormant in the ego, to
regulate physical function, enhance
faculty, or modify character.
THE directions impaired by en-
phatic declaration may not be objec-
lively heard by the sleeper; but in
some mysterious way they pass the
sentinels of his wor1d-consciousne
unchallenged, to rivet the attention
and launch the spiritual energies of
the transliminal man.
Employed by Physicians.
Reputable physicians in this coun-
try and abroad are employing the sug-
gestional appeal extensively in the re-
lief or cure of functional disorders Of
digestion, absorption, and circulation;
of nervous conditions represented by
hysteria, hystero-epilepsyD pseudo.
meningitis, petit NAL, chorea, habit
spasms, occupation neuroses (like
telegrapher's arm, writer's, violinist's
and ballet dancers cramp), psyche
genis cardiac arrhythmia, pseudo
agina, speech defests, intractable in
somnia and neurasthenia or nervous
exhaustion; even Of diseases charac-
terized by severe pain, like sciatica
and other forms of neuritis, locomotor
ataxia, tuberculosis and carcinoma.
Indeed, there is no rational sufferer
who may not be benefited in some
degree by such treatment.
'Tn treatment of moral diseases
truly awe-inspiring results Of trans
liminal domination are manifested.
"A moral defective may be COM
PEELED to take upon himself changed
nature in response to appropriate sug-
gestions. The bad may be made good
even in the face Of their deliberate de-
termination to continue in the clutches
of sin. --------

suggestinnal methods denends largely
