Excerpt from Daily Life Psychology From dependable medical history. I have the following. A young man had a hemorrhage from his lungs occurring on his birthday. This came again on his next birthday and on each succeeding anniversary until this had happened ten times. He died from the effects on the tenth occasion. The practice of our psychological methods is based upon what we denominate, post passive suggestions. Meaning that the suggestion is not to be fulfilled during passivity but at some future time. In the analysis of the above phenomenon we disclose the law of suggestion (the introduction of a picture into the soul) and soul expectancy. There may have been organic cause justifying the first bleed ing of the lungs which became associated in the man's subconscious with his birthday. The sub conscious is not like the conscious which forgets the former retains the pictures as they are related to each other and will produce the fulfillments in the corresponding relationship. The association of ideas was sufficient suggestion to cause the soul, the subconscious, to repeat the experience and yet there was no picture to call for the discharge of blood from the lungs on any other date and the phenomenon appeared only on the date called for in the images in the soul of the young man.
