CONCLUSIONS.

Summarizing possible conclusions, we have the following:

1. Physical health is indispensable to physical magnetism;

2. Psychic righteousness (health) is indispensable to psychic magnetism;

3. Psychic magnetism is indispensable to best physical magnetism;

4. Physical magnetism is not wholly indispensable to psychic magnetism.

5. PERFECT PSYCHIC MAGNETISM INVOLVES HEALTH, PHYSICAL MAGNETISM AND PSYCHIC RIGHTEOUSNESS.

The ALL-IMPORTANT departments of your personality are those of PSYCHIC RIGHTEOUSNESS and PSYCHIC MAGNETISM.

But the IDEAL MAN of success is the WHOLE MAN always AT HIS BEST.

The whole man is more than psychic development; he is a PRODUCT AND A CREATOR OF PRACTICAL AFFAIRS.

MAGNETISM A GROWTH.

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 the present study, you certainly possessed a measure of magnetic capacity, either physical or psychic, otherwise you would not have purchased this book. If you have energetically observed its directions, you have developed both varieties; but, above that, you have also combined them into one living whole, the magnetic personality.

This result has required at least a year of persistent effort. If you have arrived at this point in less time, you should go back and begin where haste first r.e.t.a.r.ded your progress.

MAGNETISM IS A NATURAL GROWTH.

No matter how great may be your ability to read and understand books, that growth, that law, require time as well as intelligent effort. No matter how poor may be your ability in such respect, that growth is absolutely certain if you put reasonable time and genuine effort into its acquisition.

The giant trees of California were once puny saplings. The slow lapse of time has drawn nature into their mighty hearts. Magnetism can no more be acquired by the mere reading of a book, or by hurried practice of its directions, than can these giants of the West be produced in the hot-house culture of a northern summer.

MAGNETIC GROWTH IS NATURALLY SLOW. Its principles, its methods, and the results of its study, have to be deeply sunk into and absorbed and a.s.similated by the subjective self before the reaction of magnetism in the objective life can obtain. This book has promised no miracle. If you have read it correctly, you have learned that magnetic growth cannot be hurried. These statements are placed here because, had they appeared at the beginning of our work, the outlook would have seemed, perhaps, discouraging, but more especially because they would not have been understood. You now understand them because you have toiled, and you can afford to smile at such possible discouragement. You have paid an easy price for magnetic power, for the gains discount the pains.

MAGNETISM AND PRACTICAL LIFE.

The faithful observance of the suggestions of this volume has developed many surprises during the time occupied. It is possible that the lessons have unduly cultivated your subjective life. In a work of this kind, such a danger is unavoidable. The growth of magnetism involves intense and continuous concentration of thought upon the psychic field, and it is very likely that you may find it necessary to guard against that danger. The method of so guarding is briefly indicated below.

The sole value of magnetism consists in its practical application to everyday affairs. Success-Magnetism is not an accomplishment merely; it is a practical power. When rightly developed and used, it controls the subjective self in the concrete work of the objective. The definition of the goal you have been seeking now appears:

SUCCESS-MAGNETISM IS PERSONAL MAGNETISM INTELLIGENTLY MULTIPLIED INTO ACTUAL LIFE.

The first duty of man is practical sanity.

AVOID MERE OCCULTISM.

It is possible that you have now discovered in yourself certain occult talents, such as telepathy, hypnotism, mediumship, clairaudience, clairvoyance, psychometry, psychic healing, and the like.

It would be evidence of ignorance to call in question these "faculties" of the human ego. The author's personal experience forbids. Nevertheless, it is now freely stated:

NO SO-CALLED OCCULT SCIENCE FORMS ANY INTEGRAL PART OF PERSONAL MAGNETISM.

Hypnotism and magnetism are widely separated.

Psychic healing occupies another field.
