How could a simple book contain such a power?  Black magic?  Clairvoyance?  No.  This isn't science-fiction, fodder for current media arts.  I can honestly say that in all of my years of practice, I have never seen any evidence of mystic or psychic influences.  My mind isn't closed enough to claim that such things don't exist, but as a man of science, I need first hand evidence.  The Libri Verum, I have held in my hand.  I have seen its pages.  The book is, beyond a doubt, very real.

The power of this unusual book lies simply in its words.  This concept is certainly nothing new, giving birth to such phrases as, "The pen is mightier than the sword."  Words have the strength to inspire, such as the speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr..  And they can crush, like when you were a child and someone called you a name.  Mix communication with psychology, and the results can be astounding.

Specifically, what psychology does the Libri Verum deal with?  One of the most fundamental functions of the human brain is to block out truths we wish not to believe.  Our mind will go as far as erasing memories from our past or seeing facts from an incorrect angle, all with the purpose of keeping us happy.  Please don't misunderstand and conclude that I am proposing that our happiness is a lie.  What our mind wishes to alter or hide is a mere fraction of our total experiences.  This small fraction, however, can have a huge impact.
