The existence of the world, according to my teaching, is explained by the omnipotence of the will. Also, the phenomena of animal magnetism and those similar to it show that magical actions, previously considered as actions of the devil, are done by force of will. Due to the fact that these actions have empirical authenticity, from now on my teaching will no longer seem so paradoxical and will become easier to understand. Indeed, if the will of man can sometimes do what was considered only the power of the devil, then it can also do what was hitherto attributed only to the omnipotence of the gods.

"Existența lumii, conform învățăturii mele, se explică prin atotputernicia voinței. De asemenea, fenomenele de magnetism animal și cele similare acestuia arată că acțiunile magice, considerate anterior drept acțiuni are diavolului, se fac prin forța voinței. Datorită faptului că aceste acțiuni au autenticitate empirică, de acum, învățătura mea nu va mai părea atât de paradoxală și va deveni mai ușor de înțeles. Într-adevăr, dacă voința omului poate face uneori ceea ce era considerat numai putere a diavolului, atunci poate face și ceea ce până în prezent era atribuit doar atotputerniciei zeilor."
