is a more
or less
irreducible
state
character-
ized by
subversion
of the
relation-
ships set
up be-
tween the
subject and
the mental
world
from which
in practice
he thinks
he derives,
outside any
delirious
system.
This
mental state
is founded
on the need
for recip-
rocal charm,
which explains
the hastily
accepted
miracles of
medical sug-
gestion
(or counter suggestion).
[it] is not
a path-
ological
phenomen-
on and can,
in every re-
spect, be con-
sidered a su-
preme means
of ex-
pression.
