Introduction

Mentats use autosuggestion to quickly trigger certain psychic states. An autosuggestion is a verbal (means / way) to quickly adopt, or trigger, a certain mood or frame of mind.

For instance, if a mentat needs calm before a battle, it can synchronize the phrase < < < it is calm > > > with a memory of a time of peace and quiet to trigger that state of mind when it needs to.

Much like the Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear, autosuggestion is a (way / means) that a mentat controls its psychology to adapt to its current situation.
