How Does Blind Faith Work?
Swiss physician franz anton mesmer claimed to have produced many cures by stroking the bodies of his patients with magnets. Later, he threw away his magnets and simply made passes with his hands at a short distance from the patient. Mesmer evolved the theory of animal magnetism. This is held to be a fluid that pervades the universe, but is most active in the human organism. The faith required in mental healings is purely subjective faith. Any method that causes you to move from fear and worry to faith and expectancy will heal. Many people claim that because their theories produce results, they must therefore be correct and true. As we have already seen, this cannot be right.
