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
