But, alas! in its hour of need, it attracted to itself the kicks from the hoofs of the wild asses of the desert, and the malicious snaps of the jackals which formerly partook of the scraps of the feast of the monarch. Such is life, my son; when the mighty are fallen low, then cometh the day of the lesser ones. Ancient Persian I.. Mental II..The Underlying III.

3 Mental IV..Personal V..The Science of VI .. Mental VII.. Mental Secret of Mental MagicviiiixThe Author s ForewordIn this book I deliver to you a Message that has been seeking expression for some time. It is a strong Message, of elemental power and primitive force. It is given to you in its original simplicity, and is not draped with airy metaphysical veils, nor by heavy theological prejudices or predilections. I have tried to get down to the bare body of the Truth concerning Mental Magic , although, in order to do so, I have had to strip away covering after covering of personal views of writers, teachers, schools, and cults. I have cast aside these discarded draperies, and now present to you the simple, natural Truth as I have found it. Some who are partial to these added draperies may resent their disuse I can t help it if they do I am not writing this book for such.

4 Others may be shocked at the nakedness of the Unadorned Truth I cannot help this either this book was not written for Mental prudes, so let them stalk off hiding their faces with the hands if they wish. (They will sneak a hasty glance over their shoulders, though, when they think that no one is looking such people always do.)These lessons are solid, and contain much strong food for strong people. There is nothing of the Charlotte Busse, or Meringue, about these lessons. They are solid food, and must be partaken of as such. Partaken of properly, they will nourish The Secret of Mental Magicxand strengthen you, building up muscle, tissue and bone. But, bolted or swallowed at a gulp, they may give you a bad case of Mental dyspepsia. Hygienic laws operate on the Mental as well as the physical plane. The lessons are full of concentrated, condensed information, and must be partaken of in small bites, well masticated, in order to insure perfect digestion.

5 You must study each lesson, before you proceed to the next one. You cannot skim over these lessons in a single reading, if you expect to master their contents. They need reading, and re reading, and each time you go over them, you will find something new. I have compressed in this book, enough matter to fill six books, if properly diluted and spread original size of this book was about 200 pages, but after the original manuscript was placed in the hands of the printer, I kept on thinking of this thing, and that thing, that should go in the book. And so, from day to day, I sent the printer enough additional matter to bring the book up to its present proportions (about double the original size) the price being kept the same, of course. This additional matter has been inserted and dove tailed in, among the original matter, until to the proof readers the lessons seemed like a mosaic, or grandmother s quilt.

6 The advance notices were out, so I could not devote as much time as I would have liked to the work of polishing up the connecting joints, or rounding up the corners, occasioned by this insertion of new matter in the different parts of the several lessons. Consequently, there may be apparent a lack of smoothness and finish about the work, arising from this cause. I trust that you will understand, and pardon such, in view of what I have said to , after all, I must confess that I do feel that I have given you good measure heaped full and running over, and have managed to deliver my Message aecording to my best Desire. And, that s the principal thing, after all isn t it?To all the students of these lessons, I send a message of Good Cheer, Courage, and Self Confidence. You are Centres The Author s Forewordxiof Power in the Great Ocean of Universal Power.

7 Realize this truth, and you will have attained that which you seek. You have attracted this book to you now take what the Law has sent you, and use it. And, as it brought you this so will it bring you that, which you Desire so ardently. William Walker Atkinson. Masonic Temple; Chicago, Ill., February 26, Secret of Mental MagicxiixiiiMy Basic StatementThere exists an Universal Dynamic Principle of Life; pervading all space; immanent in all things; manifesting in an infinite variety of forms, and life, and energy or force; and the essential inner nature of that Universal Principle is mind! The energy, or force, of that Principle is no respecter of persons. Its services are open to all, and it operates in response to the proper effort no matter by whom it may be exerted. But the proper effort must be exerted, consciously or unconsciously, else there will be no operation of the forces.

Whether in the form of Personal Magnetism, or the subtle fascinating charm of one mind over another that form of Mental force that influences as if by an irresistible charm; that bewitches, allures, charms, enchants, attracts; or in what has been called Fascination, in which one person is able to influence another in an uncontrollable manner, by exercising a powerful or irresistible influence upon his or her affections, emotions, passions or thoughts; or in some of the other similar forms of the exercise of an unseen, inexplicable influence upon others; or in the phenomena known as Hypnotism, Mesmerism, Psychologism, etc.

The same cause is under all its manifestations good or bad, black or white.

10 It is all the operation of the one great Law, or Principle of Mental Influencing see on all sides men who seem to exert a wonderful and mysterious Mental influence upon others upon those associated with them, or upon the public mind. Leaders spring into prominence, apparently owing their power to some mysterious influence over the minds and wills of others. Some attain power and position others attain wealth and social state, by reason of some inner force. When we meet certain people, we become at once impressed by a Something about them that makes its power and influence felt by us. They seem to radiate a peculiar force that bends our wills captive, and causes us to fall in with their desires, to a greater or lesser know that when some people enter a room, they bring with them an indefinable influence that becomes apparent to all.
