will. The FIRST condition of success here is agreeableness, the
SECOND consists in tact and perseverance, the THIRD is will-power
--not brutal will-force, but magnetic power of will.

In all application of magnetism to persons, you are urged to
remember that your very first goal, always and preeminently, is an
agreeable feeling within their minds. You should never try to
induce a person to act your way until you have thoroughly
established in him a good feeling toward yourself. This is the
prime initial step. When such a condition has been secured, you
are then ready for the magnetic assault--and then only.

When you are dealing with other people, endeavoring magnetically
to win them to your wish, you should summon the general magnetic
feeling within yourself, will them to do as you desire, and at the
same time think of them as already consenting and acting. Your
inner condition should be perfectly calm, buoyant, hopeful,
whatever the external means employed, your mind should be
concentrated upon the thing desired, and its accomplishment should
be thought of as now secured. The response of the person may be
delayed, but this should not discourage you, for some minds do not
take suggestions (those of your unspoken will are referred to)
quickly, and they do not act instantly upon their own thought. It
is invariably best to induce people to believe that they are

to feel perfectly free, not at all coerced, and that they are
doing their own will rather than yours--simply because they wish
so to do.

We may summarize all these suggestions in the words of a
