The power of suggestions

“Suggestions are usually statements directed toward a particular action or hypothesis.  To a large extent, suggestions are tied into conscious thought processes, following the dictates of reason.  For example: “If thus and thus be so, then thus and thus must follow”.  There is no magic connected with suggestions – but repeated often enough, and believed in fervently, such suggestions do indeed take on a deeply habitual nature.  They are no longer examined, but taken for literal truth.
“They are then handed over to the more automatic levels of personality, where they trigger the specific actions that are so strongly implied.”
(The Way Toward Health,Session April 8, 1984)
