“It's been suggested that if the super-naturalists really had the powers they claim, they'd win the lottery every week. I prefer to point out that they could also win a Nobel Prize for discovering fundamental physical forces hitherto unknown to science. Either way, why are they wasting their talents doing party turns on television?

“Our leisure time is occupied increasingly by automatized activities in which we take no part: listening to piped-in words and viewing television screens (no portable smartphones, laptops back when Dr. Meerloo wrote his book). We hurry along with cars and go to bed with a sleeping pill. This pattern of living in turn may open the way for renewed sneak attacks on our mind. Our boredom may welcome any seductive suggestion.”

“Suggestion is the greatest power in human culture. The sooner people understand that, the better. Let鈥檚 not bother teaching 鈥渕indfulness鈥� to children in schools. Instead, let鈥檚 teach them the secrets of the mind, including the vast power of the subjective mind, and how it can be controlled by the objective mind and the extraordinary potency of suggestion, of authoritative command.”

“It鈥檚 time for the benevolent hypnosis of humanity. It鈥檚 time for positive, optimistic suggestion to be ubiquitous. Suggestion is an amazing power, the greatest human power of all. Advertisers use it all the time, and demagogues, and religious and spiritual leaders, and monarchs, and the super-rich elite. Submissives are extremely receptive to suggestions made by dominants. Throughout history, self-serving dominants have told the masses what to think, and the masses have duly thought it, even when it is against their own interests. This is the basis of false consciousness. We need to ensure that everyone gets a true consciousness. It鈥檚 time for a New World Order and a new, higher humanity 鈥� one that has a radically different relationship with suggestion. Suggestion must reflect the general will and be for everyone鈥檚 benefit. We have all the tools at our disposal to bring about an astonishing metamorphosis of humanity.”

“Wisdom and riches are not always synonymous. There are instances of 'rich but foolish' and 'poor but wise'. Solomon's riches did not result from his wisdom; he was blessed riches also. The wisest of all men was poor. He was poor enough to obtain a coin from someone in his audience (without ridicule) to postulate the famous quote, "give Caesar's things to Caesar ..." Next time you ridicule a poor man's suggestion as bereft of wisdom, think twice. What he may be bereft of is the opportunity or sterner stuff it requires to convert it to cash.”

“One of the greatest powers in the human world is the power of suggestion, including counter-suggestion. If you put people in a clinical, scientific environment, this acts as a massive counter-suggestion and prevents psychic phenomena from manifesting. You need to recreate the kinds of environments where paranormal events typically occur in order to provide the power of suggestion that will allow the mind to access, channel and manifest such phenomena. You cannot allow materialists and skeptics anywhere near paranormal research since they will generate an enormous field of counter-suggestion that will disrupt, sabotage and thwart the desired phenomena. If you tell people it can鈥檛 be done, it won鈥檛 be. If you tell people they can achieve the impossible, they will.”

“Kafka said, 鈥淚n man鈥檚 struggle against the world, bet on the world.鈥� That鈥檚 the degree of resistance and counter-suggestion you are up against, and that鈥檚 why most people can鈥檛 make the Law of Attraction work for them. But if you practice incredibly hard, and really put your mind to it, it really can be done. The formula really can work. After all, your second mind is a god. In a god鈥檚 struggle against the world, bet on the god!”
