I feel that those who have followed me through the preceding lessons must have felt within them the intuitive assurance of the Truth contained in the instruction herein given. In a work of this size and character, I can do no more than merely direct the attention of my readers to the great facts underlying the Science of the Mind; to give them a hint of the great Truth; to acquaint them with a few exercises which, if followed conscientiously, will enable them to develop their latent powers.

More than this would be beyond the scope of this work, which is intended to give popular instruction in the exercise and use of Personal Magnetism and Psychic Influence in the affairs of every-day life. The average reader will rest satisfied with the “practical” side of the subject, and will not feel inclined to enter into the occult phase.

To the few who feel an inclination to pursue the subject still further, who would penetrate behind the veil, there are other sources of information open, which I am pleased to point out in my new Without attempting to gofurther into the subject, I would say 96 PERSONAL MAGNETISM. that, in my opinion, an intelligent understanding of the laws underlying the Science of Mind, supplies one with a most elevat- ing rule of life and conduct; brings to man a realizing sense of his own individuality, strength and power—a consciousness of the reality and immanence of his real self, the I AM.

Grains of thought are there, but are surrounded by bushels of verbal chaff. ‘The searcher for ideas receives—words, words, words. The works on the subject, which are really worth the time and trouble of reading, are few, and the student, alas, knows not where to find them.

Practical, under- standable works on this subject are being demanded by many minds, and, following the invariable rule which causes the pro- duction of the thing which is earnestly demanded, works of this kind are sure to appear. To the student I would say, do not be deluded by “isms” or leaders; you possess within you the real Truth, and it will manifest itself to you, in time, developing gradually and naturally, as the flower.

The recognition of the I AM will bring its reward. The small flame within will throw light on all subjects and illumine them. Pursue vour way through life, earnestly and calmly. Hurry is not Haste; Bustle is not Energy; Noise is not Strength.

The man of quiet, calm, earnest and persistent qualities, reaches the goal long before his brother of opposite tendencies. Confidence, Expectation and Calm Demand is a three-fold, mighty dynamic force, which would solve many problems if man but realized it.

The wise man uses that which the fool neglects. “The stone which the builders rejected becomes the corner-stone of the temple.” Do not crawl on your belly, like a worm; do not humble your- self in the dust and call upon heaven to witness what a despicable ~ creature you are; do not call yourself a “miserable sinner,” worthy only of eternal damnation.
