All,
It was good to see the quick response following Fr. J. Loiola Pereira's query on
Abbe Faria. However, his request inviting inputs on the challege Abbe Faria
reportedly had with Mesmer remains unanswered.
One of the aspects about Abbe Faria, told to me as a student of Don Bosco,
Panaji by my teachers was that Abbe Faria disputed the theory put forward by
Mesmer.
Mesmer claimed that during hypnotism, it was the power from the hypnotist
which flowed onto the person, leading the person into a hypnotic trance. Abbe
Faria however said that the person was hypnotised through his own power.
I am not sure whether Fr. J. Loiola Pereira's query is answered here, but would
anyone having knowledge of the work of this great Goan come forward?
