Excerpt from The New Psychology, Its Basic Principles and Practical Formulas

Every experience, clinical, hypnotic, or in the observation of normal or abnormal states proves that that power spoken of as the sub-consciousness or the soul, operates under suggestion. The first classification of phenomena that we will deal with under the proposition that the soul, in its subjective department, creates and controls the body, as indicated, and is itself controlled by sug gestion, will be psycho (suggestive) therapy.

In the ordinary use of the word suggestion, we would mean the introduction of an idea into the objective department of the mind, but when we speak of the Science of Suggestion, we mean the introduction of an idea into the soul. When a patient comes into my office and I tell him in his active state that his rheumatic symptoms are beginning to disappear, and will soon be entirely overcome; that the cause of the pain is being removed; that the uric acid will cease to be in excess; that the pain and swelling are going; I have introduced into his mind the idea con sistent with these words, and he looks at me incredulously and informs me he does not believe a word I have said.

None of the conditions occur as I said they would. Another person comes to me in the same condition. I say the same things to him and he believes what I say, and says so, and the pain and other symptoms begin disappearing, his entire cure ensuing.
