    Greetings all

    I have entered a phase of my studies where I try to turn belief (even mild)
    into certitude . This means being more "scientific" about it all. By
    "scientific" I mean, in part, understanding something by relating it to
    other, better understood (by me) phenomena. I also try to rewrite IIH (for
    myself) instead of just reading it.

    It strikes me that an important, perhaps pivotal aspect of Bardonism is
    what can be called self-suggestion. All the time Bardons says: "Be totally
    convinced that this is so". (Maybe self-assurance is a better term.)

    This seems very close to Coué and his followers, and all those who came
    after, with different kinds of "positive thinking", endogenic training, etc.

    Also seems related to the "decretism" of Pascal Beverly Randolph
    (1825-1875). "At the instant of the decree, the imagination of the
    decretist must absolutely banish all other preoccupations." (MAGIA SEXUALIS)

    This is perhaps just a peripheral historical point, but I wonder from where
    Bardon took this self-suggestion thing, that have since passed into
    mainstream thinking?

    Also I wonder about the relationship to Randolph.

    Stu
