ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on suggestion as a factor that plays an eminent role in people’s social life, a factor that holds a deep meaning in the daily life of private individuals as well as in the social life of nations. According to the point of view of Dr. L. Lefevre, the phenomena of suggestion and auto-suggestion in general are the assimilation without any motive of thoughts, of any kind of ideas that are admitted by these phenomena and, occasionally, their rapid transformation into action, into sensations or into acts of inhibition. As well, all phenomena known as counter-suggestion should be excluded from the area of suggestion, as they correspond to reality. Psychologists use the term suggestion in such a disorderly way that the reader often does not understand its real meaning. Generally speaking, at least in the waking state, suggestion more often penetrates into psychic realm unnoticed and, in most cases, without particular resistance or opposition by the suggested person.
