About This Book

This work presents a practical method for awakening and strengthening mental faculties through disciplined use of the will, combining exercises in attention, forethought, memory culture, and self-suggestion. It examines the relation of will to character, the interplay of suggestion and instinct, and the cultivation of constructive and imaginative capacities. Chapters address fascination and the subliminal self, offer systematic techniques for habit formation and mental training, and include historical reflections to illustrate principles. Emphasis is placed on reproducible everyday practices intended to expand latent powers and improve mental control rather than on purely mystical explanation.
