Self Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion

Introduction
|
Suggestion, or rather Autosuggestion, is quite a new subject, and yet at the same time it is as old as the world.
It is new in the sense that until now it has been wrongly studied and in consequence wrongly understood; it is old because
it dates from the appearance of man on the earth. In fact autosuggestion is an instrument that we possess at birth, and in
this instrument, or rather in this force, resides a marvelous and incalculable power, which according to circumstances produces
the best or the worst results. Knowledge of this force is useful to each one of us, but it is peculiarly indispensable to
doctors, magistrates, lawyers, and to those engaged in the work of education.
By knowing how to practise it consciously it is possible in the first place to avoid provoking in others bad autosuggestions
which may have disastrous consequences, and secondly, consciously to provoke good ones instead, thus bringing physical health
to the sick, and moral health to the neurotic and the erring, the unconscious victims of anterior autosuggestions, and to
guide into the right path those who had a tendency to take the wrong one.
