Self Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion Part 8

Mlle. Th----, _Professor at the Young Ladies' College at Ch----, Jan.,_ 1920.

I read my thesis with success, and was awarded the highest mark and the congratulations of the jury. Of all these "honours" a large share belongs to you, and I do not forget it. I only regretted that you were not present to hear your name referred to with warm and sympathetic interest by the distinguished Jury. You can consider that the doors of the University have been flung wide open to your teaching. Do not thank me for it, for I owe you far more than you can owe me.

Ch. Baudouin, _Professor at the Inst.i.tut. J.-J. Rousseau, Geneva._

... I admire your courageousness, and am quite sure that it will help to turn many friends into a useful and intelligent direction. I confess that I have personally benefited by your teaching, and have made my patients do so too.

At the Nursing Home we try to apply your method collectively, and have already obtained visible results in this way.

Docteur Berillon, _Paris, March,_ 1920.

... I have received your kind letter as well as your very interesting lecture.

I am glad to see that you make a rational connection between hetero and autosuggestion, and I note particularly the pa.s.sage in which you say that the will must not intervene in autosuggestion. That is what a great number of professors of autosuggestion, unfortunately including a large number of medical men, do not realize at all. I also think that an absolute distinction should be established between autosuggestion and the training of the will.

Docteur Van Velsen, _Brussels, March,_ 1920.

What must you think of me? That I have forgotten you? Oh, no, I a.s.sure you that I think of you with the most grateful affection, and I wish to repeat that your teachings are more and more efficacious; I never spend a day without using autosuggestion with increased success, and I bless you every day, for your method is the true one.

Thanks to it, I am a.s.similating your excellent directions, and am able to control myself better every day, and I feel that I am _stronger... ._ I am sure that you would find it difficult to recognize in this woman, so active in spite of her 66 years, the poor creature who was so often ailing, and who only began to be well, thanks to you and your guidance. May you be blessed for this, for the sweetest thing in the world is to do good to those around us. You do much, and do a little, for which I thank G.o.d.

Mme. M----, _Cesson-Saint-Brieuc._

As I am feeling better and better since I began to follow your method of autosuggestion, I should like to offer you my sincere thanks. The lesion in the lungs has disappeared, my heart is better. I have no more alb.u.men, in short I am quite well.

Mme. Lemaitre, _Richemont, June,_ 1920.

Your booklet and lecture interested us very much. It would be desirable for the good of humanity that they should be published in several languages, so that they might penetrate to every race and country, and thus reach a greater number of unfortunate people who suffer from the wrong use of that all-powerful (and almost divine) faculty, the most important to man, as you affirm and prove so luminously and judiciously, which we call the Imagination. I had already read many books on the will, and had quite an a.r.s.enal of formulae, thoughts, aphorisms, etc. Your phrases are conclusive. I do not think that ever before have "compressed tablets of self confidence."--as I call your healing phrases--been condensed into typical formulae in such an intelligent manner.

Don Enrique C----, _Madrid._

Your pamphlet on "the self-control" contains very strong arguments and very striking examples. I think that the subst.i.tution of imagination for the power of the will is a great progress. It is milder and more persuasive.

A. F----, _Reimiremont._

... I am happy to be able to tell you that my stomach is going on well. My metritis is also much better. My little boy had a gland in his thigh as big as an egg which is gradually disappearing.

E. L----, _Saint-Clement (M-et-M.)_

After I had undergone three operations in my left leg on account of a local tuberculosis, that leg became ill again in September, 1920.

Several doctors declared that a new operation was necessary. They were about to open my leg from the knee to the ankle, and if the operation had failed, they would have had to perform an amputation.

As I had heard of your wondrous cures I came and saw you for the first time on the 6th of November, 1920. After the seance, I felt immediately a little better. I exactly followed your instructions and went three times to you. At the third time, I could tell you that I was completely cured.

Mme. L----, _Henry (Lorraine)._

... I will not wait any longer to thank you heartily for all the good I owe you. Autosuggestion has positively transformed me and I am now getting much better than I have been these many years. The symptoms of illness have disappeared little by little, the morbid symptoms have become rarer and rarer, and all the functions of the body work now normally. The result is that, after having become thinner and thinner during several years I have regained several kilos in a few months.

I cannot do otherwise than bless the Coue system.

L----, _Cannes (A. M.)._

Since 1917, my little girl has been suffering from epileptic crises.

Several doctors had told me that about the age of 14 or 15 they would disappear or become worse. Having heard of you, I sent her to you from the end of December till May. Now her cure is complete, for during six months she has had no relapse.

Perrin (Charles), _Essey-les Nancy._

For eight years, I had suffered from a sinking of the uterus. After having practiced your autosuggestion for five months, I have been radically cured. I don't know how to express my deep grat.i.tude.

Mme. Soulie, 6, _Place du Marche, Toul._

... Having suffered from a glaucoma since 1917, I have consulted two oculists who told me that only an operation would put an end to my sufferings, but unfortunately neither of them would a.s.sure me of a good result.

In the month of June, 1920, after having attended one of your seances I felt much better. In September I ceased to use the drops of pilocarpine which were the daily bread of my eye, and since then I have felt no more pain. My pupil is no more dilated, my eyes are normal; it is a real miracle.

Mme. M----, _a Soulosse._

A dedication to M. Coue by the author of a medical treatise:

To M. Coue who knew how to dissect the human soul and to extract from it a psychologic method founded on conscious autosuggestion.
