"<p>Modern science knows suggestion: the instrumentless, coercive influence of the human soul on the other human soul; yet it regards the power of spell, grace, prayer as superstition.<br />The spell, incantation; a spiritual effect to help or harm someone.<br />Grace, spirit-invocation, spirit-alerting; a spiritual influence exerted on a being that has escaped from life.<br />Prayer; tapping into the power of life-superior to life; by it we increase our own faculty many times over. A social institution, established and maintained by money, power, authority, seldom lasts a few lifetimes; and monastic orders persist, though they are created by a single praying beggar.</p>"
