The faithful observance of the suggestions of this volume has developed many surprises during the time occupied. It is possible that the lessons have unduly cultivated your subjective life. In a work of this kind, such a danger is unavoidable. The growth of magnetism involves intense and continuous concentration of thought upon the psychic field, and it is very likely that you may find it necessary to guard against that danger. The method of so guarding is briefly indicated below.
The sole value of magnetism consists in its practical application to everyday affairs. Success-Magnetism is not an accomplishment merely; it is a practical power. When rightly developed and used, it controls the subjective self in the concrete work of the objective. The definition of the goal you have been seeking now appears:
SUCCESS-MAGNETISM IS PERSONAL MAGNETISM INTELLIGENTLY MULTIPLIED INTO ACTUAL LIFE.
The first duty of man is practical sanity.
AVOID MERE OCCULTISM.
It is possible that you have now discovered in yourself certain occult talents, such as telepathy, hypnotism, mediumship, clairaudience, clairvoyance, psychometry, psychic healing, and the like.
It would be evidence of ignorance to call in question these "faculties" of the human ego. The author's personal experience forbids. Nevertheless, it is now freely stated:
NO SO-CALLED OCCULT SCIENCE FORMS ANY INTEGRAL PART OF PERSONAL MAGNETISM.
Hypnotism and magnetism are widely separated.
Psychic healing occupies another field.
