Foreword

In my previous work, “The Art and Science of Personal Magnetism,” I gave the principles and elementary rules for developing personal power and influence.

In this work the subject will be continued, although it will be a complete work in itself, as no doubt many will secure this volume before they know there is a previous work. Those who have read “The Art and Science of Personal Magnetism” will better understand these advanced lessons, because we have repeated very little of the matter contained in the former work.

I will not go over old beaten paths, or indulge in abstruse terms, but will give in a condensed non-mystical style all I have been able to learn of this wonderful power, from the latest and ablest teachings on the subject.

As in my previous work, all technical terms have been avoided, so that even the layman may readily understand. Some time ago one of my students asked me why I had met with

Foreword, such remarkable success in my teachings, and my reply was that, after many years of study, I have succeeded in working out a united system along purely scientific lines, which is practical and appeals to reason. In a short time the facult}7 of intuition is developed, and as one secret is unfolded the l:ey to another is placed in the hands of the student.

For years, at a great expense, I bought course after course of instruction. I studied everything I could get hold of relating to the secrets of personal magnetism, and success. Many of these instructions were guaranteed to accomplish wonders, and I earnestly waded through their abstruse terminology, hoping to find the key.

I found that many others had pursued the same course that I had, and that the results were unsatisfactory. Then I concluded that something must be wrong.

In time I realized that the private lessons, which were expensive, were got out as a money-making proposition. They were not concerned with the effort to give students value received; to make the work concise and readily understood and applied, but merely to confuse.

Foreword

Naturally this method of procedure could not attract success. The foundation upon which they built was wrong.

In my search I found some grand truths. I gained a little from each one, and thus I have been able to put into a condensed and perfectly simple form all the secrets which I have discovered and proved, so that I am confident that the student who earnestly learns and applies these straightforward and practical methods will be able to win success. They have been worth thousands of dollars to others, and will be, I know, to you.

"What I am giving you in this volume has been personally tried and proved. From my long experience I am certain that if yon study the lessons and practice them, you can become magnetic and make good. If you have not met with the success you desire ; if you have not been able to carry out your plans, just get busy and read my lessons carefully. Through your higher self you can come in contact with tremendous forces and you can master the secret of the Omnipotence of Natural Law.

One thing I must impress upon you, and that is that you must always use your forces

Foreword wisely. You must never attempt to use your power to further anything that is dishonest.

If you should thus attempt to misuse the power you acquire, I can assure you with absolute certainty that you will draw unto yourself penalties in exact proportion to the wrongs you have done.

Chapter I. The Advanced Course In Per Sonal Magnetism

Everyone possesses a certain magnetism which eludes the photographer; which the painter cannot reproduce; which cannot be chiseled by the sculptor.

Although it cannot be seen, nor really described, personal magnetism is a tremendous power. It is a very important force in life, and those who possess it will meet with the most happiness and attain the greatest success in life.

Many poor boys and girls have envied the rich youth who does not have to go out in the world and earn a living, when all the time they may have in their possession a magic power, which, if properly developed, will bring them greater honor and success than that of the rich man’s money.

I he man or woman with a charming personality is wanted everywhere, while the millionaire cad will not be tolerated, except to be made a joke of. The man with a magnetic personality, with a very limited capital, is far more likely to succeed in business than is the rich man who has an unprepossessing personality.

There is a law back of all creation which evens up accounts. No one is given all the advantages.

There are many young men who have started in business with almost nothing in a financial way, but who possessed a strong, clear magnetic power which enabled them to secure credit. Jobbing houses, wholesale dealers and business enterprises of all kinds are willing to take a chance with a pleasing young man of promise.

We meet persons who are well-groomed, persons who have agreeable manners and are attractive, persons who possess a great deal of magnetism, but we seldom meet one who possesses all these.

In this work I shall show you how to cultivate all of them. When you have acquired all these qualities, you will possess a talisman which will open all doors to you.

The person with pleasing manners is seldom refused any request. They have such an attractive way with them that you feel it is a pleasure to do something for them.

You have all met such persons. I know a salesman who can sell almost anything. Here is his secret: He interests himself in you at once, and makes you feel that he is doing you an especial favor by letting you buy his goods. He is so attractive and his manners are so ingratiating that you admire the man. He brushes aside all formality and in a short time after you meet him you exchange confidences as though you had been life-long friends. He is so different from other salesmen that you feel it would be a pleasure to do business with him. The chances are that lie may sell you something that you do not want, but at the same time he will give you the impression that he would rather lose his right arm than to permit you to take anything you do not need.

THE POWER OE MAGNETISM IN BUSINESS.

The promoter knows the value of personal magnetism and does everything in his power to develop that latent force in himself. The business man is now beginning to realize its power and is looking for employees who have a winning personality, those who may become magnetic by a little training.

Few persons are proof against a persuasive influence.

In every walk of life we are constantly swayed by the charm and the magnetic personality of some whom we meet. Those who are the most fascinating achieve the greatest successes.

We are helped and strengthened by mere association with magnetic persons, those whose character is charming and attractive.

They seem to have the power to lift you upward. You feel broader and bigger in every direction. They make you realize possibilities you never dreamed of. They awaken in you a new power ; you are inspired with a new ambition. They make you want to do things. The best that is in your nature is drawn out ; you have new impulses and aspirations thrilling you.

It has always been a moot question as to just what is the greatest blessing in life. We all have different ideas. Most persons think that the acquisition of money is all-important. But it is my conviction that the greatest achievement we need hope for is to raise ourselves to our highest possibilities ; to call out the hidden beauties of our nature, and to become attractive and helpful to humanity instead of repellent and unsympathetic.

For the benefit of those who have not read my previous work, ‘ ‘ Personal Magnetism, ’ ’ I want to state that I have taken students who appeared to be totally lacking in magnetism, and in a short time have developed them into the most charming men and women.

Personal magnetism is not a subtle force possessed by only a few, but it is a latent power which may be developed by every one of fair intelligence. By persistent cultivation any one may possess attractive qualities.

All that I received in the many courses of instruction which I studied, and much more, will be contained in my books, set forth in the simplest and most lucid language, so that there is no reason why you should not become agreeable and pleasing to every one with whom you come in contact.

Your love nature will be developed and your sympathy will be broader; you will become kinder, gentler and more interesting to your fellow-beings. Any amount of time and money expended in tlie work of making yourself magnetic will be well spent and will pay you well.

It would be difficult to estimate the number of persons who have voiced the following wish: “If I could only attract friends; how I wish I could become popular and magnetic. ’ ’

Those lonely, discouraged souls who, through lack of magnetism, are left out in the cold world, could readily acquire this priceless possession if they would but resolutely apply themselves.

It would be well for young persons about to enter mercantile life, and also for others who have thus far failed of the success they had hoped for, to consider this opinion expressed by experienced and highly successful men : “A pleasing personality is not only a valu able asset, but is almost indispensable to the unknown aspirant for favor. There are doubtless thousands of men and women in this and other cities who have turned away disappointed, after making application for a position as salesman, without having the slightest idea why they failed to get a chance to work. They have been competent to do the work they applied for, yet, because of some carelessness in dress or sloppiness of manner, they made a poor impression on the man who appraised them, and thus they lost the opportunity to show what they could do. If they had considered beforehand that strangers are bound to judge their capabilities by their appearance, they might have improved that appearance enough to have turned the scales in their favor. ’ ’

There are a few persons who are born magnetic, but the power is usually acquired by cultivation. Those who do have it are students of human nature. Magnetism is acquired by studying magnetic people and imitating their ways. Magnetic people impart some of their power to those who associate with them. It is a law of nature that whatsoever you give out will return to you with interest. The magnetism you transfer to others will return to you with added power.

You will find the man that does not associate with women has no magnetism. W omen usually have more magnetism than men. Man draws much of his magnetism from woman. It is through her influence that he becomes refined and interesting. Many coarse, stupid and uninteresting men have changed themselves in a short time after having become interested in some woman.

A woman of strong magnetism can accomplish wonders with a man in a short time. By a strange “irony of fate,” man, after being taught by woman, often turns and uses the power he has thus acquired to control her and compel her to do his bidding.

lie is able to do this because his training generally develops a stronger will. Every woman has her master. She is a willing captive to the right man, and when she is thus captivated she is a wonderfully changed person. She loses much of her individuality and what is her husband’s will and desire becomes hers. This is all wrong.

You should never subject your own individuality to another’s. Tou should seek to preserve your individuality and to develop and improve yourself. If you admire some one for their attractive qualities, add those same qualities to your own, but retain your individuality.

Many women after marriage so change themselves that they become a mere tool of their husband’s will. Thus they become monotorious and tiresome to the husband whom they seek to please.

Nor is this state of affairs entirely onesided. Many a man loses his finer qualities when he falls under the domination of an inferior woman, and instead of developing along the lines of his higher nature, he permits himself to be influenced along the wrong’ lines. It is important that we each and all preserve our own higher instincts and develop strength and magnetism without seeking to subject another to our will.

Chapter II. The Secret Of Being Naturally Magnetic

What I am going to state in this chapter is startling, but after a careful study you will find that the laws governing phenomena are natural laws.

If I were asked what I consider man’s most valuable asset, I would unhesitatingly answer ‘ ‘ Personal Magnetism. ’ ’

Personal Magnetism will bring happiness to the person possessing it. A man may sometimes succeed in acquiring worldly goods without the aid of this wonderful force, but he will miss the greatest happiness in life, namely, the love of family and friends. Work will no doubt have given him a certain satisfaction, but when the twilight of old age has been reached dollars are a cold substitute for love and friendship.

This work will, I trust, be read by a great many young men and women who are just

Being Naturally Magnetic 21

starting in life, and perhaps by many others whose life has thus far been a failure.

To these I want to say that you should read this work carefully and then put into practice the teachings I give you. You can, if you will, become magnetic and attract to yourself friends and success.

Of all the millions of people there are not two who have the same kind of magnetism ; each person is distinctive; his magnetism is entirely his own. We know this from the fact that a bloodhound can follow a person through a crowded street guided by the trail of the person’s magnetism.

The secret of being naturally magnetic is to develop your love nature so that you think love of all the world; you must possess self-control ; you must at all times be above petty meanness; above irritability; above resentment and malice and gossip, and all the weaknesses which so many permit to interfere with their highest and best development.

You must develop your generosity and your sympathies, and be ever ready to give a helping hand to the needy.

Knowledge is self-conscious power, and by thinking how you can add to your personal influence you can do so.

Many volumes could be written from ancient records demonstrating how The Magi, the wise men of the East, could influence the people. History proves the fact of the possession by the few of the secret of this power, and as far back as we have any records we find evidences of the secret of fascination and its marvelous effect upon the world.

In fact, it would seem that in the earlier stages of our evolution fascination and the laws governing the use and the development of personal magnetism were known and practiced more than now.

Man has no limitations other than those which are self-imposed. All things come to him wdio strives with an earnest, unfaltering will.

No one can study the records of ancient Egypt and the wonders which their priests performed without realizing that they were adepts in the art and practices of magnetism.

HOW TO GAIN CONTROL OF OTHERS.

You can never control another unless he or she is negative to you. If you have studied my previous work, you should be able to make yourself positive to others, at will, but as you

Being Naturally Magnetic 23

may meet some persons who are extremely positive, I will first show you how to make them negative.

Scientists are giving more attention these days to the subject of “dual consciousness” than ever before in our modern research.

Nevertheless, according to the ancient occult teachings they are still only at the outer fringe as it were of that vast field of human activity.

A more careful and extended study of the areas of sub-conscious activities is bound to reveal some wonderful secrets of our inner selves. Every one has a deeper and a greater personality than that which is evident to the casual observer.

The only difference between the manual laborer and the mental giant is a matter of brain development. In the man who works only with his hands the latent powers of the subjective self are still dormant. In the brain worker these faculties have been aroused.

We speak of “doing things,” but before we commence to do, our inner self must marshall the facts and co-ordinate them for our hands to work out. As yet comparatively little is known of this inner mind, but we are commencing to realize what wonders it can do for us. The inner mind is what makes a man. It is the real secret of success. It is very important, therefore, that you come into close relationship with this inner mind, both in yourself and in others. You can trust your inner mind to solve the most difficult problems and guard you against defects.

Experience is a great teacher and your experiences are all stored away in your subconscious mind, to be called upon at your will.

We think and act as we do because of past experiences. Of course we do not remember all of the things that have happened, but they have all left an impression upon the inner self.

Ask a successful business man why it is that his plans turn out right and he will say, “I just used common sense.” J. D. Morrell says: “Common sense is nothing but a substratum of experiences out of which our judgments flow while the experiences themselves arc hidden away in the unconscious depths of our intellectual nature.”

In “The Diseases of Memory,” by Eibot, a curious case is reported. A business man in Boston, Mass., having an important question

Being Naturally Magnetic 25

under consideration, had for the time given up the solution of it as too much for him. But he was conscious of an action going on in his brain which was so unusual and painful as to excite his apprehension that he might be threatened with palsy or something of that sort.

After some hours of this uneasiness, his perplexity was all at once cleared up by the natural solution of his doubts regarding the problem which he had given up — worked out, as he believed, in that obscure and troubled interval.

In the instance above quoted the man was vaguely cognizant of the work going on in his brain without having distinct consciousness of it.

“Tou have but to look to your deeper self for your best problems and your best solutions, some of which come because you seek them, but many of which come when you are not seeking them.”

You can educate the inner mind to such an extent that you can depend upon it for help, and it will do as you suggest.

To a person who has never read along this line of thought some of these teachings may sound mysterious, but I can assure you that what I am telling you is actually going on all the time, only your outer, or objective, mind is unconscious of it.

Your deeper self always decides your most difficult problems. Sometimes you arc conscious of thinking deeply, but more often this inner self sees the matter under consideration without the fact ever rising to your outer consciousness.

By following my instructions you will be able to educate this inner mind and to consciously depend upon it for help.

We know that if a man starts out with the conviction that he can succeed, he will be much more likely to attain success than will the one who doubts his ability; so it is with this inner mind. Know that you can succeed in educating this mind, and you will soon discover that your commands will be obeyed.

Instead of meekly asking for the solution of a problem, you should demand it, and you will get it. To a certain extent you have always done this, but the point is to do it consciously, with power and with confidence. Thus vour power will increase.

Being Naturally Magnetic 27

Man has hitherto placed limitations to what he might do.

Gradually we are lifting this barrier to accomplishment, because we have begun to realize that everything gives way before the force of a strong and determined will.
