A patient writes: “Your treatments cut a deep channel in my
subconscious life, one from which if I do happen to wander astray
is for only a short time; then I am carried right back in the
trend. In fact, there exists a deep indelible, happy and cheerful
impression incorporated in my subconscious life that it is
impossible to eradicate.... You have laid a concrete foundation
upon which I am building, little by little, a structure that some
day you will be proud of, and for which words are insufficient to
express my profound gratitude.”
Another patient writes: “The big result of your treatment was
restoring my faith and arousing my ambitions. I never think of
suicide. I only want to live and work and redeem myself. I have
never been so happy and I have never worked harder.... I feel the
most extraordinary eagerness; a strange, irrepressible enthusiasm;
and an absolute conviction of the truth and beauty of work, of my
work. I dare not think of failure, and yet success as I conceive
it is too wonderful ever to come. The brave will of life in me
permitting, I shall some day approximate my prayer, my dream, my
vision; and then I must let the earth know you are responsible.”
The following extract of a letter, written to me by a patient,
an experienced English surgeon, now in charge of a hospital in
England, whose case was severe and chronic, dating from early
childhood, is valuable, both on account of his medical training and
his mental abilities which make him an excellent judge as to the
fundamental change and cure effected:
“It is now exactly two years since I was undergoing treatment at
your kindly and sympathetic hands. I remember that you once told me
that the seed sown by you would probably take this length of time
to come to fruition. Therefore, it may not be without interest to
you to receive a supplement to many other letters in which I will
endeavor to summarize my progress--for the last time.
