WE NOW MUST FACE LIFE itself, and enter into the myriad associations that are involved in the endeavor to make use of the teachings of this book as far as they have proceeded. There is too much teaching and too little learning in the world. Teaching pours into the mind the facts and principles of things; learning adopts them; education uses them. In the study of personal magnetism, when our first book appeared more than forty years ago, there were no others on the subject in existence. We were the first Since then, there have been a few works on the same subject, but for the most part they have been books of advice; all of which has been good. But advice is easy to give and hard to adopt. Such books have told their readers that in order to acquire personal magnetism, they must be pleasant, agreeable, neat, polite, generous, sympathetic, honest, truthful, on time, active, helpful, of good habits, and so on without limit. In fact nothing that was good was overlooked. While all the pleasing qualities that exist are sure to make a person attractive and useful to Others; they do not make others useful to such person. The agreeable man who is generous, is helping others to use him; the man with personal magnetism uses others to help him; thus reversing the situation. This is an important distinction. Of course we shall teach every good quality, but not as an agency merely for somebody else to take advantage of it; reciprocity is fairer and always means a square deal.

Before proceeding further let us stand face to face with the exact purposes of this study. We will not mince words, nor beat about the bush. We intend that our students shall be divided into two classes:

1. Those who are willing and eager to follow our advice to read carefully and slowly every word of the book two times. This is Class One; or the First Class.

2. Those who sometime in the future may read the book in the manner stated, or may not feel inclined to do so. They include from five to fifteen percent of the persons who receive the book; they read it once, and then loiter along the byways of life.

Having separated the readers into the two classes, we then deal with those of Class One; and we set for them the goal of 100 Percent of Progress in the acquisition of this power.

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT is reached when:

1. Financial independence is attained or assured.

2. Perfect respect and confidence from others are won.

3. Mastery over all the affairs of life in every department of existence is acquired.

No person needs more in this world. Few have obtained as much. But the goal is not difficult to anyone who is in earnest; and the course is pleasant all along the way. Sugar-coated pills are alluring to the taste. Our lessons are all sugar-coated; they are not only interesting but fascinating. More than this, every lesson is loaded to the muzzle with benefits that reach every department of life; and, if you do not wish them for the purposes of gain and advantage, you cannot afford to omit them for the wonders they will accomplish in other ways. Not one is wasted. Your improvement begins at the start, and never cases until you die, going on even after the last lesson has been conned. No other line of training or instruction in the world produces such results.

Before going ahead, let us review briefly what has gone before.

The Department of Magnetic Sources is very helpful and inspiring.

The Department of Mental Magnitude finds you facing in the wrong direction. It turns you completely about, and faces you forward; after which it makes all the difference in the world what you do or how you do it. You cannot go wrong when you are facing right. Nor does it make so much difference how fast or by what means you are traveling; if you are facing right. you are going on. The man or woman who masters Lessons 12 and 13, is already far to the front of the human throng; and these lessons are very easy to master.

The Department of the Magnetic Eye is so valuable that, if it were possible to place a cash equivalent against it, the amount would be surprising. We read books by interpreting their words into ideas. Here we read faces like open books. Take this Department into your evening half hour of thought and study; read one lesson each evening; think of the vast wealth of opportunity that is placed within your reach; carry the knowledge into the affairs of the morrow; and note your growth in self-conscious power.

The next Department, that of Instantaneous Personal Magnetism, gives you daily work to do. You will not omit it.

The Department of Magnetic Health is of the greatest importance to every person regardless of having an interest in this study; for it will effect changes from ill conditions to those of the perfect enjoyment of life with body, mind and nerves freed from every malady and danger that now brings weakness and loss of vitality which are serious deterrents in the efforts to win success. These lessons have a value in excess of the cost of the book a thousand times over.

The Department of Tension Energy is the crossing of the line from the prevailing conditions of drifting that sweep people along a common current to nowhere in particular, over to the side of aroused activity and awakened purpose. The fires of purpose are lighted and existence begins anew. As a method of building an enormous vitality, it has no equal, and there is nothing that can take its place.

The Department of Repose is like entering a garden in which all the beautiful attractions of Nature abound. The calmness of still life supercharged with living power enthralls the scene

With the exquisite loveliness of mind and heart. Centuries ago there were no gentlemen, no gentle-women, no gentle folks; all humanity were physically coarse. Then a division was made . when it was seen that here and there refinement of manner appeared, self-control asserted itself, and a calm and attractive demeanor compelled admiration and obeisance. Now a still further advance is developing these qualities in higher degree.

This line of training alone embraces the greatest attractions in life; and its advantages are so valuable that it should be given precedence over all others.

The Department of the Magnetic Voice is a complete world in itself. It is through the voice that most people influence their followers and associates; for the one distinguishing endowment of humanity as the head of the animal kingdom is the power of articulative speech. The system which we present here has been taught for forty years in private schools, colleges, academies and seminaries as the best method known for the development of the voice in speech and conversation, and in all uses, where all the rich and beautiful qualities of tone and expression were sought. It has a substantial and practical value in every phase of human activities; and especially in business, professional and social life.

While you have been developing the new wealth offered in these Departments, another process has been going on; and one of which you will by this time have found some recognition. This process was first made evident to you when you had finished the study of Mental Magnitude and its Regime as taught in the twelfth and thirteenth lessons; and had passed successfully through the Department of Instantaneous Personal Magnetism. It was further unfolded in the Departments of Magnetic Health, Tension Energy and Repose; and confirmed in the new powers of speech that were taught in the Department of Magnetic Voice where the soul spoke through the rich colorings of sound and tone in which the thoughts and feelings of other beings were engrafted on the heart and mind of the student. Then that other process became a reality and revealed the fact that in each human being there exist

TWO MINDS:

1. The Physical Mind.

2. The Magnetic Mind.
