There is a universal mesmerism which strikes one person as disease, one as false appetite, one as sensuality, one as poverty, and another as something else.

It is a universal hypnotism, and everybody by virtue of having been conceived in his mother’s womb is a victim of it.

The effect of this universal hypnotism is to make a person accept disease, death, lack, limitation, unemployment, depression, wars, or accidents as reality.

Lay the ax at the root of the tree: Do not bother about picking off the branches; do not bother about healing a little piece of flesh here and a little false appetite there.

Realize that in healing you are not dealing with a person or a condition per se: You are dealing with universal hypnotism.
