and others, to reveal the amazing nat
uraI FORCES at our own command, which
| mad been SO long ignored or neglect
ed. If / mention myself here 1t is
simply to say that have done moth
ing more than to demonstrate the
possibility for every one of utilizing
TOT his own physical and moral well
| being the force; of the subconscious
revealed by the diffused, abstract no.
| lions OF the new school of philosophy.
Others will carry on the work, but
| think / may say that the basis of a
new practical philosophy with def
mite therapeutic application has now
been laid. 1t is admitted that the
human mind is a much greater force
than was believed formerly Facts
cures obtained by suggestion and
autosuggestion in cases even of or
ganic diseaseS-have come to prove
| the Importance of the idea in the
treatment of bodily ills.
From the purely experimental
stage the doctrine of autosuggestion
Is ripe enough to enter the domain
OF universal application. Already, in
Paris, it is being carried forward on
the crest of big scientific movement,
which bids fair to grow rapidly un-
der the leadership of a group of en-
thusiastic members of the medical
faculty, philosophers and savants. An
institute for the teaching and practice
OF autosuggestion has been founded,
and l hope to see others created in
other cities in all parts of the world.
One will soon be in existence in New
York. At the Paris Institute a corps
OF trained men and women, some be-
;slonging to the medical profession,
like my disciple DIR. Pierre Vachet,
professor at the Ecole de Psychologist,
and DIR, Veriot constitute perma-
nent teaching staff, whose mission is
to spread, by explanation and expert
ments, the knowledge of the so-called
mysterious forces which we all pos
sess, and to show patients how to use
them TO the interests OF their own
health.
Element I'm Therapeutics.
Autosuggestion, then. is becoming
more and more an experimental
order in the domain of therapeutics
as we'll as in those of sociology and
education. The creation of institutes
such as that of Paris will. l am con-
vinced, be a powerful stimulant to
the study Of the wonderful re-
sources of our subconscious self.
Applied psychology, the vast de-
velopments of which is only just
beginning. will teach us to know
ourselves better, to possess ourselves
preme powers with which nature has
endowed US and to use them for the
development of our character and of
our physical, intellectual and moral we'll
being.
The subject far outstrips the indi-
vidual; society as q whole will bene-
At by mans self-mastery. The doc
tor has been called t"the last of the
magtcians." But we can all be much
greater than the magician by merely
utilizing the stupendous moral power
and cerebral energy latent within US.
Revivify intelligence paralyzed by
doubt or ignorance, regenerate the
physical organism, strengthen the
moral fiber. Such are the aims to be
attained. preluding an ennobling of
human nature the consequences of
which cannot easily be calculated.
BY means within reach of all we shall
secure an advancement of humanity
and 1t will be possible for every one
to feel within him or her the growth
OF that sublime force which elevates
morally and physically.
Perhaps one day the dreams OF
Utopists may be realized and hu-
manity will shake of the chains of
materialism which yet holds us from
what we think to be supernatural
knowledge, but which. In reality, is
already in US, only waiting to be
discerned. Who knows? Perhaps !
