INTRODUCTION:
Your progress and your safety depends upon a specific knowledge of your occult forces. True self-help is but the use of those forces. They should be understanding used. There are many who have learned to dabble with these forces, and that is what they do to the detriment of others and unknowingly to the greater detriment of their own interests. Now that these occult fires or powers have been so thoroughly kindled, even by those who misuse them, it is the path of wisdom that they be understood at least as a means of defense against the harmful forces which many are unwittingly sending out, perhaps in your direction. This publication deals mostly with the affirmative side of occultism, and exposes the negative side simply as a means of showing what occultism is not, and how the dangers of an inverted occultism may be avoided. It outlines safe and practical methods which will enable readers not only to defend themselves against the dangers of the unseen, but also to utilize their occult forces in every practical way, in matters of business, in acquiring knowledge or riches, in governing their moods their happiness and their health, or in helping others as well as themselves. In fact, there is no condition in life to which they are not applicable.
The methods are all based upon man's natural faculties; so, also, are all the powers which are claimed for occultism. For that reason many persons will doubtless consider these rules as incapable of awakening any unusual powers within man. It is, perhaps, natural that they should regard these faculties of mind as incapable of manifesting anything more than the ordinary powers. It is in the plainness and common sense of these principles that their powers, availability, efficiency and safety consist.
Much of the knowledge herein given is such as a public which would hang or persecute so-called "witches" would not be ready to receive. But the growing disposition to seek and demand the truth, regardless of religious dogmas and the shackles of tradition, has brought to the surface an entirely new order of things when the deepest esoteric truths may be safely made known. In fact, to give them out in proper ways is now the only path of safety. So long as a taint of occultism was considered worse than the contagion of leprosy, it would have done little good and perhaps much harm to promiscuously proclaimed esoteric truths such as are contained in this publication. Emerson evidently understood, that even in his time, the wonderful esotericism which he so skillfully shielded throughout his essays would thus be more hospitably received.
