LOVE AND FAITH.

No woman is worthy to be a wife who on the day of her marriage is not lost absolutely and entirely in an atmosphere of love and perfect trust; the supreme sacredness of the relation is the only thing which, at the time, should possess her soul.
Women should not “obey” men anymore than […]

LAWS OF MAGNETIC ACTION.

FIRST LAW: Relation of Power to “Tone”.
The effectiveness of magnetism in action depends upon harmony of “tone” between its possessor and any other person, and in securing such “tone” harmony, on any magnetic plane, in any particular psychic state, at any given time, psychic and physical magnetism mutually cooperate.
SECOND LAW: Magnetic Intention.

PREPARING FOR OLD AGE.

Socrates was once asked by a pupil, this question: “What kind of people shall we be when we reach Elysium?” And the answer was this: “We shall be the same kind of people that we were here.
” If there is a life after this, we are preparing for it now, just as I am today […]

PHYSICAL TONE.

“In the healthy body every cell is polarized in subjection to the Central Will.
Perfect health, therefore, is orderly obedience, government and harmony.
Every cell is a living entity, whether of vegetable or animal potency, and wherever disease is, there are disunion, error, rebellion and insubordination; and the deeper the seat of the confusion, the […]

Happiness is the normal condition, as natural as the landscapes and the seasons.

Persons who enter society with the intention of producing an effect, and of being distinguished, however clever they may be, are never agreeable.
They are always tiresome, and often ridiculous.
Persons, who enter life with such pretensions, have no opportunity for improving themselves […]

DEALING WITH OTHERS.

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 […]

MENTAL ATTITUDE

Success is in the blood.
There are men whom fate can never keep down they march forward in a jaunty manner, and take by divine right the best of everything that the earth affords.
But their success is not attained by means of the Samuel Smiles-Connecticut policy.
They do not lie in wait, nor scheme, […]

SYMPATHY, KNOWLEDGE AND POISE.

Sympathy, Knowledge and Poise seem to be the three ingredients that are most needed in forming the Gentle Man.
I place these elements according to their value.
No man is great who does not have Sympathy plus, and the greatness of men can be safely gauged by their sympathies.
Sympathy and imagination are twin sisters.

PERSONAL MAGNETISM.

Let us understand.
You cannot reasonably hope to succeed by merely dreaming about success.
You surely cannot achieve success if you plunge blindly through your career.
You cannot really succeed without possessing some degree of personal magnetism.
When you began reading this article, you certainly possessed a measure of magnetic capacity, either physical or psychic.
