' Coueism and Common Sense; Physical and Psychic Also Vital ( Man a Three-Fold Being, Requiring Obedience to Eternal Laws Governing Soul and Body, as Well as Mind. BY PHILANDER D, POSTON. Emile Coue. who has aroused both France and England by his seemingly miraculous cures of various diseases through what he calls induced auto- suggestion. is svon to visit the United States for the purpose of spreading his doctrines. To the average reade of newspaper and magazine Dr. Coue needs no introduction. since much has been written recently about his work. It is the purpose of this article to endeavor to show the real value, as well as the limitations to the methods or principles of Dr. Coue. and to caution the public against embracing induced auto-suggestion as a “cure- an” Americans, as a rule, seek to ob) both health and riches in some qu and easy way. They desire some short cut, requiring little effort in the accumulation of wealth and a minimum of self-control, personal »t- fort and common sens tenance of their health or the cure of established disease. A mystic pill or some metaphysical formula is their main reliance in seeking to evade re- tributive justice meted out to them for repeated violations of nature’s laws relating to right living, right thinking and right feeling. To such people, Coue's little formuls “Day by day. in every way, 1 am get- ting better and better,” will make « strong appeal—though a fruitless one. However, in Coue’s principles there is great good, if understood and prop- erly applied. and provided their lim- itations are recognized And with the further proviso that his vrinciples be co-ordinately employed with equally sound and scientific prin- ciples on the other two planes of be- ing—the physical and p: Pertorms Apparent Despite adverse criticism nial from certain de- the and quarters on part of persons ignorant of the facts, a_discerning public. desire to belittle “oue and his work, this great simple genius is actually performing Wwhat to many might appear as mira- cles. Many kinds of disease, both mental and physical. disappear under the healing magic of his voice and touch, and_great numbers of peopic, both ‘in Furope and America, are receiving rich benefits through read- ing his book and appiying his prin- viples. H!s success and the soun sclentific principles underlying his work are attested by many prominent and trustworthy people of France and England as well as the United States. Coue’s status in the world of heal- Ing brings to mind the saying of some wige man that “Fools deride: philo: ophers investigate.” Refore critiel Ing or denying the soundness of his principles. asx many are now doing, it s suggested that his principles be investigated. To refuse o pass judg- ment upon a subject not yet under- 8:00d is the surest evidence of a cul- tured mind. The triumphs of Coue throughout France and Englaud have reached the stage where we. here America, should exercise great care in our adverse criti ms, lest we classify ourselves us fools rather than philosophers. Coue's Principles. Briefly stated. Coue establis three divisions: Conscious mind, un conscious mind and will. He holds that the unconscious mind should be ihe real controlling factor in our lives He terms it that mysterious fo that works most active.y anl e tually while we sicen—while free from interference on the part of con- scious mind and will—and which gov- erns the automatic working of the Body at all times. He tells us that through the conscious mind we pour an almost continuous stream of thought. good or bad. according to our own choosing. into the uncon- scious mind.

Coue further believes that the con- scious mind and will should be sub- ordinate to. and work in full ¢ eration with, the great master mind- the unconscious—and that we should control our thoughts as to feed into the great storehouse of our be- ing only good, helptul, healthful and | constructive ‘thought. He insists { (and correctly so) that the will should not interpose itself upon and confuse the creative and constructive outpourings of the great unconscious. It is believed that the backbone of Coue’s principle lies in Chirst's earn- est and philosophical plea that we resist not evil, but overcome evil with good.” Practically applied der Coue's principle. this means that the will should not be employed in combating and resisting unhealthful circumstance; degrading ment, or any negation in life. But | that, on the other hand. the will should be used only in an affirma- tive way in creating in the conscious mind only healthful and constructive | thought. and in establishing opposite and desirable circumstance and en- vironment. When the will is in con- flict with an idea or thougght. the idea invariably gains the day and the environ- | thought resists all efforts of the will {to dislodge it. Therefore. when a jbad thought enters the conscious {mind do not resist it—simply replace lit with a good thought.

One is functional ithe other orgamic. In purely func ; tional disease, only the functioning of the organ is affected. With organic disease, however, the organ itself is linvolved and diseased and usually ac- companied by functional disorders. | Functional disease frequently has its se origin in wrong states of mind. Or- sunic disease may spring from one, two. or all three sources: Body. mind or soul. (1), It may be creat- ed in the body through wrong living, such as improper feeding: physical stagnation: lack of personal hygi ' | i i and general abuse or misuse of the body. (2). It may be Induced. gh reflex. by contrary and in- harmonious states of being existent in the soul. (3). And it pften arises from wrong mental processes, so sim- ply and wonderfully explained by Coue.

The larger part of Coue's cures are believed to be confined to this class of case (2) Where disordered originates in principles are sease is a reflex from tes of bLeing deep within the soul, Coue’s prin ple's. properly employed. will often create faith, establish a positive and buovant state of mind and open up the floodgates of healing forces for their entry into and liberation throughout . the body—all of which may or may not reach and remove the obscure and underlying cause hidden in the deep and mysterious recesses of the soul.

To rely solely upon such rrinciples under these circumstances is to convict onesself of unsound mind: to become an object of derision and a candidate for u cemeterial berth. The great bulk of human mis and discase, however, now 8o agoniz- jingly expressed in world chaos and !the rapid disintegration of our much- { vaunted civilization arnd veneered so- { cial order, springs from disobedience of the eternal laws on all three planes i of being. We must, therefore. place life (in- |cluding health and disease) upon a i basis broader and more universal | than the Coue principle or any other mental formula. Man a Three-Fold Being. ges of all ages have recognized s i|| man @is a three-fold being—as posses- sing body, mind and soul. In point of fact. man is like an arch—one side {being the body, another the mind, iand the keystone the soul. To the {extent that both sides and kevstone {are evenly proportioned and balanced. just to that extent will the arch be if the three is composed are likewise proportioned and bal- _anced In_ their relation each to the perfect. So with man; | elements of which he other and to the laws of the universe, || he will be perfectly free of disease ‘and disorder throughout his whole being. He will be “all good” and no fevil can harm him. Only through | this triune balance and three-foid {harmony does man emerge into mas- {ter. ! There exist eternal and inviolable {laws of the Creator governing every minute phase of life relating to body, mind and soul, in their relation to themselves, to each other, and to the universe, Compliance with these laws brings compensation in degree. Vio- lation of such laws metes out retribu- tive justice in like degree. Violation of the law governing the body by re- flex action damage mind and soul and cause disease of body. Disobedience to the law relating to the mind bring disease and disorder to the body and impoverishes the soul. while dis- organizing and devitalizing the mind. Perversion of the law affecting the soul drags down both mind and body and poisons the soul. Therefore, to invoke a law on the mental plane (through Coueism, for example) cannot possibly nullify and offset physical disease resulting pure- from wrong living. Nor can a men- al trick -or process. alone, remove isease -of body where the roots nourishing its growth are sunk deep into the recesses of the soul. To do so would be to beat down and de- stroy the Gibraltar of creation—the great law of compensation. To attempt it is to invite ultimate disaster. Teamwork on the part of the whole man is the only answer. He must, first, be clean in his heart—right with himself and right with the world. His emotions and impulses must be right—there must be harmony in his soul. Next, he must live according to nature’s simple but fundamental re- quirements as to health of body: such as wholesome, natural food properly balanced as to its chemical composi- tion; proper hygienic care of the body and a wise and vigorous use of the wonderful human machine housing his mind and soul; there must be fre- quent contact with the glorious ele- ments of sunshine, air and earth. The basic requirements of soul and body being thus meet, it is then im- perative and proper to harmonize the mind (and Coue's principles properly understood and applied are among the most simple and effective means to this end). - But the fact ever re- mains, and should be reiterated, that no mental trick or formula, regard- less of fits scientific worth on the mental plane, can possibly sustain or restore health of body or give peace and harmony to soul where God's laws are violated on the other two planes—physical and psychic. Coueism and Common Sen: Certainly we cannot think right unless we live right and “feel” right. It we do the things that create dis- ease of body and harbor feelings and impulses that poison the soul, Coue n‘ hie 'rlldnmor, the amploymaenst \ e S n- | and destructive thought: distressing | lodged l THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., Predicts End N due time there will be no blindness: it is possible to do away with this defect entire- 1y.* is one of the startling i statements made by Dr. Melanie Li- pinska, the famous Polish blind wom- an physician, who is in this country lfor a few months to investigate methods used at schools for the blind in the United States. and also to give some lectures in Washington and other principal cities on her own methods of re-educating those who now are blind. “There are two kinds of blindness to be considered in the present day.” continued Dr. Lipinska. “There is Llindness which is the result of or- ganic defects or congenital lesion, and there is blindness which is caused by some other agency. The former. blindness from birth, must be treated quite differently from the case of a child or adult who has seen and later develops blindnes: “Among the principal causes of the latter types of blindness ure diges- tive troubles and anemic conditions. Bad circulation in the brain or spinal column may cause blindness, too, she added. Dr. Lipinska. like all other scientists and physici that the best methods are preventive rather than curative. Therefore, she R es! 4 e best way to prevent L i bInd s o con- sider primarily the following points digestive trouble, give nutrition. Sometimes too much food is worse for the child than too little. but in all cases the proper diet should be ascertained with the aid of @ competent physician and adhered to by the child’s parents. Children should be instructed fn the hygiene of respiration, taught deep breathing, exercising and the value of periods of restful silence, and given plenty of sleep. They should also be taught the hygiene of the mind. and. if possible, all exciting experiences or horrible sights or thoughts should be eliminated P CEYT is just as easy to suggest gumlj It 4nd habits and develop ideas of beauty in a child as to de-| velop restless, bad habits and a thirst | for the gruesome or exciting things.” | said Dr. Lipinska. “In all of my work | I use the principles of auto-sugges- tion for the development of beauty | internally as well as externally.” The vertebrae of the spinal column should be examined from birth as a step in the prevention of blindness, and the efforts of parents and teach- Jers should emphasize the bringing of | all functions of the body into really narmonious working order. Circula- tion in the brain is. of course, affected by any trouble in the spine. “T do n believe that blindness is a real handicap.” said Dr. Lipinska. “but blindness can be cured in all | cakes except where the optic nerve has been completely destroyed. It is |very important in’ re-educating the iblind to impress on their minds the fact that they are not blind—except. of course, in cases of organic lesion— {and that by developing subconscious forces they may overcome blindness or eventually restore their sight. Every physician today uses auto- (13 modern believes | { | | 0’ prevent the child prope ] ' * * % l suggestion in one form or another, | ad this is @ basic principle in the {work with the blind. Children or jadults who have seen have a great dvantage over those who have been blind since birth. for they have re- lceived thousands of impressions that {they do not realize they have absorbed beonsciously until they lose their |sight. By proper re-education meth- ods it is possible to develop additional senses “Memory. concentration and intui- { tion replace sight with the blind, and they are especially sensitive to all vibrations which emanate from indi- fviduals and things with which they icome in contact. Blind people can sense not only the physical appear- ance of those whom they meet. but also their mental and moral state, and the senses of touch and smell are in- creased in their keenness, * X * % D* LIPINSKA lays special empha ple thoughtlessly cause by trying to i | sis on the harm that many peo- of any and all laws on the mental plane will avail us little or nothing. To place sole reliance upon such a principle is suicidal. Set the body right through proper {living: keep the heart right by prop- {er control of the emotions, and then {go the limit in the employment of jCoucism or any other good mental { formula and you will surely find and keep health of body, peace and hap- piness of mind and repose of soul. There is no other way. The foregoing thoughts come to me after more than twenty years of theory and practice along physical lines, ten years of investigation and ! study as to things mental and psychic, {and about five years' employment | (personal and otherwise) of. basic mental principles such as those ad- vanced by Coue. Bearing in mind the rescrvations made in_this art 1 unqualifiedly indorse Coue’s principles and earnest- 1y hope that his teachings and book may be spread broadcast throughout the land. The spirit of his work ful- fills one of America’s greatest needs, provided it is given its true value and limitations and is coupled with equally sound principles and teach- ings relating to the status and needs of body and soul. To co-ordinate and establish these principles as a three-fold proposi- tion and make them a vital part of our educational system would go a long way toward solving many of our great problems—individual and national—and establishing on a firm- er foundation individual happiness and worth and national stamina and security.

They urge them to take & taxi instead of walking a short dis- tance, and do many other similar things which hinder the development of real independence. “One day there was a small blind child about three years old crossing the street near my office” sald Dr. Lipinska. citing a particular instance, “and a woman who was consulting me cried out in terror. I looked in the direction she seemed to be look- She cried again. 1 found that this child was quietly crossing the street With plenty of time to reach the other side before a coming automobile would reach that spot in the street. An at- tendant brought the child to my of- fice at my patient’s frantic request and the latter attempted to admonish the child to be more careful. ““I see by my cars’ said the child. ‘1 knew the automobile was coming. but I could tell by the sound that it was & long way off and there was no chance for me to be run over if 1did not wait. 1 had plenty of time. It is just such foolish fears on the part of ther folk which retard the full de- velopment of the blind.

Dr. Lipinska met Helen Keller and was delighted that she could un- derstand everything that this Ameri- can girl who has overcome the ob- stacles of blindness and deafness said. The doctor found Miss Keller's educa- tion and present work novel and in- teresting to her, and stated tha® after meeting Miss Keller she felt that her journey to America was not in vain. * % % % R. W. H. WILMER of Wash- ington, who is known inter- nationally as an oculist, obtained special permission for Dr. Lipinska to enter the United States. as government immigration rules do not allow blind aliens generally to enter the country. Dr. Lipinska comes as official delegate to study condi- tions in American institutions for the blind and represents the Oculists’ Society of her native city, Warsaw, Poland; Gen. Balfourler's Associa- tion for the Improvement of Educa- tion for the Blind in Paris; Capt. Tzaac’s Union for Blind Soldiers, al of Paris; the Society of Psychotherapy of Paris, of which she has long been an active member, and the Belgian Ligue Braille of Brussels. She is an author of numerous arti- cles on blindness and methods of treatment for it. She wrote a book which is now being translated into English, “Women Doctors Through the Ages.” She did not become thr. ened with blindness until she was nineteen years old, yet did mnot let this possibility interfere with her in- tentions to study as a doctor. When twenty-one vears old shs lost the sight of her left eve and for the past ten vears has been totally bl.nd. 1n spite of this obstacle, she receivel a degree, graduating with honor from the famous Academy of Science Paris. She has worked in the re-edu- cation of the blind in Poland, France, Belgium. Finland and Englani. Tue greatest contribution which she has give to science, aside from her long vears of research and experiments, is that given at the time when she fast- ed for forty days. for thirty of which she did not even take a sip of w in order to prove that it was pos to keep human beings alive for that period without internal food. This ex- periment was invaluable, as it wiil solve the problem of delicate opera- tions which surgeons have fel: it impossible to attempt previously. be- cause of the need for supplying suste- nance. This may prove the saving of many lives in the future which would otherwise have been lost. Dr. Lipinska will lecture in the United States on auto-suggestion, prolonged sleep and the need for Fi- lence in the curriculum of human be: ings, and ‘will also lecture on her methods of re-educating the blind.
