Clairaudience and clairvoyance are not utilizable by magnetism.

Telepathy and psychometry are related to its etheric explanation alone.

Mediumship is totally independent of it.

In other words, personal magnetism in operation requires NONE of these talents, except, perhaps, telepathy and genuine palmistry— the study of hands as indicative physiologically (not occultly) of present character (not past or future events).

It is a noble characteristic of personal magnetism that, while issuing in and from the subconscious self, its real instruments are the everyday body, the everyday mind, the everyday self, as its real field is the everyday, objective world, big with opportunity, adequate to the splendid development of any human being.

YOU ARE NOW URGED TO PERMIT NO OCCULT STUDY OR TALENT TO INTERRUPT OR BEFOG YOUR PRACTICAL LIFE. All things are his who steadfastly remembers that "life is real, life is earnest." Magnetism is sanity at work. It is unalterably opposed to runaway fads, chimerical visions, unstrung nerves, mental aberration, psychic gourmandism. Magnetism is practical cooperation with level-headed people who are bent on making the best of self and the world through created opportunity.

For these reasons, you cannot study magnetism too deeply nor practise it too faithfully. Its legitimate culture will harm none, will benefit all.

To him who possesses any occult power and uses it nobly, this book extends congratulations.

How May Contentment Dull My Zeal

If one small fact my mind could know
Of matter or of spirit,—
Within, without, above, below,
And never neighbor near it,—
This tiny thing a Universe would be,
Clear as Arabian caves to Sesame.
