The fundamental motive of this book is the disclosure of a newly advanced method of gaining the full cooperation of those hidden powers, either of the mind or of influences outside our mind, which are usually beyond our reach. The author shows how this method may be readily learned. In fact, that it may be acquired within a few minutes' time; and he explains how through its use our apparently unattainable goals may then be gained. The general principles of Life are also explained, and freshly revealed theories are concisely set forth, showing that this life may be lived with benefit to ourselves and to our associates, and that we may be properly prepared for the life to come. Many historic examples of outstanding achievement are given, and the reasons for such achievement clearly explained. For the mission of explaining the action of mind forces, the author is well qualified, for he has devoted a half century to the study and use of occult mental powers, as a business executive in various lines of industry in several states of the Union. During part of this time he has been a lecturer, teacher and practitioner of applied psychology, and in the course of this work has studied with, or freely given his services to, not only many prominent and well known persons, but to innumerable men and women in the lowlier walks of life.
