Wrong-doer should suffer
So the sick through their beliefs have induced their own
diseased conditions. The great difference between vol-
untary and involuntary mesmerism is that vol-
untary mesmerism is induced consciously and
should and does cause the perpetrator to suffer, while self-
mesmerism is induced unconsciously and by his mistake
a man is often instructed. In the first instance it is under-
stood that the difficulty is a mental illusion, while in the
second it is believed that the misfortune is a material effect.
The human mind is employed to remove the illusion in
one case, but matter is appealed to in the other. In real-
ity, both have their origin in the human mind, and can be
healed only by the divine Mind.
