Elaboration 65

Illnesses are unknown and accidents very few, is it said in the text. This is the 'normal' situation in a society of higher beings than animals. We, with our improvements in science, our extra degree of freedom in ideation, should be doing far better in well-being, in absence of illness, than mere animals, than even the Neandertali. Just now, I heard of a large bus company that has 10 or 15 percent absentees every day. The total may well surpass all animal illness on the whole globe. Free animals (non-domesticated) are very seldom ill, nor are they chronically unhappy and miserable like we. A rational world-government, naturally would see to it that, first, there would be a steady DE-crease in unwell-being, instead of the steady IN-crease of now. It would mean a rather acceptable minimum in five years' time, and absolute minimum, a stark scarcity in ten or fifteen years. Accidents too, are open to ideational influence (suggestion) hence to prevention on large scale. Orton, in 1935, wrote to his government in order to do something about the (then) large number of traffic-accidents. He proposed, naturally, hypnodynamic means, by, ... the radio. Of course, he was wiped from the table. Is there an easier way thinkable than this, for making nationalist man, into integrationist man, for changing empty-, robot-, crazy-, anti-social man, into a happy intelligent human-, humane person? Again, compared to the animal world, accidents should become scarce. As Baudouin told, many accidents even are of autosuggestive causation. Cause of death also is often ideationally (suggestively) determined by the person himself (complete with date and means). Is not it sad that we have to read about a method for real first aid in a car accident, through a novel writer (Upton Sinclair) ? A method that should be the 'normal' on the scene, the street, in the ambulance and further, namely TALK THE VICTIM BACK TO CONSCIOUSNESS and into a rapid and thorough recovery. And, cannot we do even better than that (electro-hypnosis e.g.). Coma patients all over the world, it is true, receive plenty of physical help, but they are the ones that need expert (idea-dynamic) help most. They are struggling to regain consciousness or they may have given it up already. From the very first moment, they should receive adequate assistance by trained hypnologists, around the clock. Nobody should be allowed within hearing distance, who is not trained in the scientific use of words. This, naturally, goes for the operation theater and recovery rooms too. With everybody, it should remembered, a sentence of a mere five words, can cause vehement muscular action, changes in pulse rate, blood-pressure, internal secretion, pupilar changes etc.
