WHY JEKYLL "CAN CURE HYDE.
THE THEORY OF AUTO-
SUGGESTION.
KNOWLEDGE THAT MAY BECOME A PERIL,
of
A short, stocky, grey.bearded mur sixt-five, looking like M. Poincur, with smile, stood ou the stage of the Wigmore Hall on March 29th and told an audience, chiefly insisting of beaming women, all about the wonders of auto-suggestion. He was M. Couf, of Nancy, whose interesting cult has suddenly become elevated to the proportions of a cruze.
Auto-suggestion with not a new thing, said M. Coné, it existed from the beginning of the world-Tron: the time of Monsieur Adam and Madata. Eve! An infuut of two days "old vried in its cradle; when its parent took it up it ceased (3 Comé imitated the Hittle cries and the parent walking up and down with it, to the delight of the audiencv). The parent returns it to the cradle and agdia 'il se met à pleurer. Once more it is taken up and walked up and down and again it conses. Hère is a child suggesting to its parent" and, unfortunately for the parent, succeeding, Suppose, on the other hand, its mother lets it ery for five minutes, 10 minutes, perhaps an hour; Ending To notice taken of at the child will cetse, unconscious auto-suggestion telling hin that it is no use. Auto-suggestion cun be the most beneficent thing in the world when well applied, producing what people called miracles, but resulting in evil and disaster when badly applied. It way well applied or bully applied, like a hand- grenade"in skillel or, skilled hands. A Land-grenade in the hands of a woman, said M. Coué with a smile at his largel audience, would be dangerous. If leurnt properly, autosuggestion was "not dan gerous. Only in the handle of the ignorant was it dangerous.
The first principle of his theory was that every ide, good or bad, that possessed one's mind tunded to become a reality-within the domain of possibility. There was al- ways the latter restriction. We were not like the crab which, having lost a" glaw in battle, made another to grow.
TWU BEINGS.
"In each one of 118" M. Coué explained, "there are two beings-the conscious and the sub-conscious. The first represents the will, the second the imagination. The " first we know all about; the second is a _mystery_to_moxt of es. Learn to develop the sub-conscious or inagivative side, and
We
are on the way tu happier and healthier life. The sub-conscious" or imaginative sense so runs away with a person who is ill that be becomes infinitely worse. All ideas we have not tend to become realities, but do become realities." M. Cou illustrated his point. The actual physical side of a man's illness may be represented by the figure 1. On top of this, the unhappy patient builds imaginative fabric which may be represented by 10, 20, or 100. Teach him how to rid bimself of this make-belive logey of 10, 20, or 100, and, at the worst, he is only left with the original 1.-
"People who have become paralysed;" be explained, often remain paralysed long after the original cause ins passed. They then only think they are paralysed. Teach them to think otherwise, and they are cured. That is called a miracle, but if is nothing of the sort."
FIVE EXAN1L29.
31. Cout, then gave five simple wxamples of bow the conflict between the will and the imagination shows itself:-
1. If you are having a sleepless night and concentrate four will on trying to go sleep you becouse feverish and more sleep- less than ever." Cease to think about sleep and you are often uskeep before you know. where you are.
2. If you forget a person's name in the middle of a conversation and concentrate on trying to remember it, the case is hopeless. Love it alous, and the sub- couscivüs self operates. In a few minutes you say: "Oh, I remember, bis name is So-and-so.".
3. Everyboly at some time or other has been afflicted with the desire to Iugh immoderately in the wrong place. Try to suppress the desire, and you become
worse.
4. The cyclist who is learning sees a brick or some, objer obstacle uliead, and concentrates his will on avoiding it.: Generally be runs into it.
5. The more people who stutter strive ia come exoherent the more hopeless their case becomes. If they can "ease up“ they talk properly.
M. Coué then passerl from the theoretical to the practical. A number of meni nad women from the audience went on the stage, and in each case what happened was the
Han:.
"CLASY HARD."
M. Coué bidding the subject clasp hands, "said intensely: "Clasp hard, harder, harder! Now say 'I want to loose them, but I can-
not.""
The subjects at this stage, and the hands clasped convulsively. In the case of one! man the strain showed in the veins of his face and neck..
*Think now 'I cun,'" said M. Coué gently at this stage. Immediately the subject relaxed, smiled, and the hands fell gently apart. In the enge of the mas mentioned hia relaxation came with an audible grunt. The auno formula was gone through with the Land pressed on a table, and with the single fist clenched. In each cae, "I want to, but I can't" left the subject helpless, und "I can freed him. Imagination triumphed
over the will.
"He lived and died a Servant of the Teople." are the concluding words on the white marble headstone which is to mark the grave of Mr. Will Crooks,
