137 THE SPIRITUAL LIFE Three Favorable Factors in Combination. It has been shown that three sets of factors favorl the attainment of a striking religious transforma-( tion : the temperament factor, the factor of expecta- tion, and the tendency to automatisms and passive suggestibility. Let us, in conclusion, note the effect of combining these three factors. Of 10 cases in which there is expectation of a marked transforma- tion, together with predominance of sensibility and passive suggestibilit...y, the number whose expecta- tion was satisfied was 9. But of n cases of such expectation, together with predominance of intellect or of will, and with spontaneous auto-suggestion, not one was' satisfied. These numbers include cases from Group III as well as from Groups I and II. If our groups seem to contain rather few cases, it should be remembered that a problem of this kind requires relatively complete knowledge of a few jcases rather than an item or two of knowledge re- garding many cases. Our procedure must neces- sarily consist in a gradual narrowing down of the range of cases, together with increasing minuteness of scrutiny in each case.
