. STRANGE' MESSAGE FROM A LAND WHERE THE ART

HAS NOT BEEN FORGOnEH I COME TO YOU today with a message that should be instrumental intearing out by the roots all of evil, and lack, and disappointment in our life,and replacing it with happiness , comfort , plenty and success. From a fa rrand I bring word.that our conception of the shortness of l ife, and the neces-sity of sickness, and the inevi tabi li ty of pover ty and want IS ALL AMISTAKE.

I bring word that we have been deceived in these mat te rs , or have de-ceived ourselves, and have been suf fer ing U JNECESSARILY, when OLDAGE CAN BE POSTPO JED FOR YEARS, SICKNESS MADE A RAREAND BRIEF AFFAIR, ELIMINATED ALTOGETHER IN MANY CASES,and tha t the re is, ava il ab le to us, hea lth in abundance , happiness supreme ,mental power that is simply astonishing, and MONEY FAR BEYOND OURREASONABLE HOPES. I briJ.lg word that the re i s within you 'A mightypower that can take you ten times as far in the accomplishment of your hopesand ambi ti on s as you have ever b efo re gone.. And I bring you an under -standing of tha t power,. and methods for USI G it, tha t a re l it tle known inour Western world, and that have been HIDDEN away, excep.t to a chosenfew, for ages.

That is an astound ing dec la ra tion , I know. Espec ia lly when I say thatthese things can happen here and now, in the y ear in which we are living,Dot in s ome d im and d is ta nt fut ure, or in the next life. E sp ec ia ll y when Isay that they can happen to YOU, eas ily and naturally, as wel l a s quick ly .I do not ask you t.o accept this staggering declaration now. I ask only thatyou keep an open mind unt il i t is proved to you , that you give me enough01 your t ime to present that prool.

A Three Tholtsa;,'d Year Old Legacy For You I take no credit, personally, for discovering these truths. I was as amazedas you" will be when they were first disclosed to me. I am merely the iftstrument through which they are passed along f rom far wiser and better menthan I am---men whom I believe to he the wisest on earth today-the latestof a three-thousand-year-old UNBROKEN CHAIN OF WISE MtN. " "When I say, therefore, that for three thousand years this message has beenon its way to you, relayed from generation to generation, carefully guardedand chel,'ished in the hands of a select few, refined and simplified and addedto by the g reat spi ri ts o f t he ir time, you will , I am sure, give it serious consideration. For it is a ll t rue , as you may see - later on; and no sensible manor woman could refuse to inves tigate such price less knowledge when i t i soffered.

Methods That Have Tremt'1ldolts Effect -I am sur e that you, like al l intelligent people, appreciate that the greatestt ru th s o f li fe have not h it he rt o heen printed-or if prinfed , have not heen~ o m p l e t e l y ~ n d e r s t o o d or ~ e a l i z e d . Mere intellectu"al understanding is nothmg-the Wise Men have discovered that truth makes men free only when itis FELT to the very depths of. the soul, made a MAINSPRING o f our every. t hough t and action. Then, a s many great men have demonstrated, ' it givesmen power undreamed of, the might to shake the world. Then, as stories of- apparent miracles in many par ts of the world confinn, i t ~ i v e s the energy toaccomplish the seemingly impossible. My great ~ i s s i o n in l ife IS to discloseto you methods and pract ices these wise men used in ESCAPING from mereintellectual grasp of truth, in making truth a part of the VERY BEING, i tsVAST POWER theirs to.do with as they will. .Simple Ways That Have Been Proved Through the A.ges That t remedous power within us has been' dimly realoized, of course, inour Western world. But our writers and our psychologists have had only af aint idea o f how to USE THlS GREAT POWER, how to call upon it whenand where we will. Usually, their methods do not work, except in rare cases.YET FOR THREE THOUSAND YEARS COMPARATIVELY SIMPLEMETHODS FOR USING ALL THIS POWER HAVE BEEN KNOWN ANDUSED BY THE WISE MEN OF THE EAST. From generation to generationthe methods haY: been improved upon and simplified, until now they can beused with TREMENDOUS EFFECT by a lmos t any ordinarily intelligentpe rson . They can he used by you, as I expect to prove to you, in meetingyour personal problems, in building the superior mind and ability and powernecessary to carry out your ambitions, to fulfi ll your desires, and in givingyou greater strength to fight off sickness and old age.

Wishes Made To Come Trrte, . Like al l honest people, you no doubt feel tha t hones ty should a lways berewarded, that the good things of life s houl d not be only for t he selfish. Isay to you tha t i f yob. get in tune with the great power within you, honesty isRICHLY AND QUICKLY REWARDED, and tha t THE GOOD THINGS OFLIFE PILE THEMSELVES UPON THE UNSELFISH.Like all generous people,_ you want the ability, to help your loved ones, tobring t heir hopes, as well as you own, to fruition. I say to you that the-2-

power to do this is tJready within you, ready to he called upon and used, andthat the methods of these wise men WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO USE THATPOWER IN SEEKING THE FULFILLMENT OF SUCH A NOBLE ANDUNSELFISH PURPOSE.Like all sincere people you are probably mystified by the seeming crueltyof si(:kness and pover ty and old age al l around you. I declare to you that'all these are unnecessary, not intended by a kind Creator, brought on, principally, by too much reliance on ourselves and too lit tle upon the great powerwithin us--and that the methods.developed hy these "wise men are effectivein relieving sickness, maintaining youth through many years, and eliminatingpoverty altogether. -Be Master of Your Oum Destiny Like a ll who a re not craven slaves, yolfwant to be free of bosses, and debts,

and worries--captain of your own ship, master of your own fate, free tocarry out you r pl ans, and v ictorious in accompli shing them. I say to youtha t SUCH IS YOUR DESTINY-mtd the only one who can prevent it isyourselfFinally, I am sure; you do not want to be hindered in these high endeavors,by any handicap 'whatever-whether real OJ: i m a ~ i n a r y , whether of the mind"or the body, whether sickness o r o ld age, la ck of money or l ack of youth. Ideclare to you that, instead of being limited by a one-man-power mind, youhave f1l your disposal1.he mind-power of the ages-a thousand man power ormOJ"e--which can brush aside such petty handicaps as if they were nothing.Long-Hidden Practices of The Wise Men D these statements seem to stagger you? I confess that they did mewhen the"y were first made to me. But since then, I have learned even moreastounding truths about myself and you. I don't ask you to accept themnow, any more than I did unt il they were proved to me. I ask only that yougive me an oppor tuni ty to present such proof, on ly tha t you accept theseamaz ing facts when they a re proved in you r own life, by your own greatero.chievements., your own more glorious health, your own richer possessions,and lite happy and abundant l ife in all fields tha t this way of l ife can bring .These were the first a st ound ing t ru th s t ha t were passed on to me by oneof the lates t in that long chain of wise men. We have , within us, not merelythe mind and soul power of a thousand men, bd.t the great wisdom and powero f God Himself-or the Creator, or the Supreme Intelligence, or whatevername you wish to call Him. Of course, most religions recognize this--we

have no quarrel with any r e l i ~ i o u s belief, but honor and respect a ll s incerefai ths . BUT THE STAGGERING REVELATION MADE TO ME BY MYMASTER IN TflE ORIENT WAS HOW TO USE THIS VAST POWERIN OUR DAILY AFFAIRS, TO HELP BRING ABOUT OUR PLANS,FULFILL OUR YRAYERS--O EARTH, HERE AND NOW.Immense Powers Never Before Realized

This mighty Niagara of Strength has been with us since t ime immemoria l.Three thousand years ago wise men had discovered it and learned methodsfor using it. Why is it, you wonder, tha t we have got ten so far away from it,that we are b lind to our own greates t her itage, tha t our scientists andpsychologists don't know more about i t and cannot instruct every man inits use?-3-

,I t is b eca us e they ~ r ,affaid_.to _rt:dmowledge man's kinship w,ith theSupreme Creator, because they tory to explain things m a t e r i a l i s t ~ c a l l y , ,insteadof spiritually" because they rely upon earthly knowledge and hesitat,e to acceptanything that cannot be understood in the l ight of that, knowledge, But even,they stand in awe before some of their more recent discoveries, and are beginning to perceive tha t the wise men of old were more nea rly r ight than hadbe,en slJ'ppesed. Even they are probing i nto what they call the'subconsciousand superconscious mind, and; perceiving somet\:ting of its 'immense powers.

Unbelievable Things 'Accomplislied. . - - \ Before long, perhaps, they will acknowledge that the wi!)e men were'correct,'and that t hi s power is the wisdom of the Supreme Creator-God Himself in

each and everyone o f us. Be fo re l ong, too, they may 'be able to expla'in whythe methods developed by these wise men are so tremendously effective inutilizing that power within us. Right now, no one knows exact ly why theseme tho ds work. We on ly know that t hey do, and t ha t in the East are menwho accomplish almost unbelievable things through them-things which ourmaterialistic scientists have never been able t o dupli ca te . You rio doubt haveread about t he mas te rs of the Far East and'their wonderful powers'.

Th e Easy Way of True Genius Do you think a mere man wrot e th e be st wo rk o f Shake spea re , or thesublime music of Beethoven? About al l e it her of them did , after learning toge t i n t ouch with the D iv in e Sou rc e w ith in them, was to listen to the poet ryor music of that INNER VOICE and wri te 'down what they heard. How canscientists explain the Inner Voice of ~ I . o z a r t ? Frequently', while composing,i f he dropped a sheet of music, he found it easier to wri te another than to pickthe first one up-so rapidly was his'lnner Voice pouring forth the melodiesof Heaven.That Inner Voice is i n all of us. If you wil l but learn to , li sten to i t, yout oo can pour forth an avalanche of m,:ghty words in your chosen field ofeffort. But the more we rely upon material istic knowledge, the deafer webecome to tha t Inner Voice. L ike Adam and Eve, ,we are "banished fromParadise" because we are f il led with the fruit of the Tree of MaterialisticScie_nce.

Make Your Own Heaven' B!lt please understand ine. Our scientific knowledge is not an evi l in itself.The faul t lies with ourselves alone. We become blown up with conceit in thi snew-found information, think We know i t a ll , we rely upon 'material factsalone for our guidance, when such knowledge is INCOMPLETE, and is no tlikely to be complete for another ten thousand years.

This conceit , this rel iance upon UNRIPE materialistic knowledge, has, become an almost universal habit with us. We have, mos t o f u;;, forgottenhow to rely instead upon the Great Power with in . We have forgo tten howto use th is power, we no, longer can hear the inner Voice, WHICH CANMAKE OUR HOMES HAPPY AS THE GARDEN OF EDEN, WHICHCAN MAKE US VERITABLE GODS AMONG MEN-IRRESISTIBLE,UNCONQUERABLE,-VICTORIOUS IN ALL OUR ENOEAVORS, MAGNIFICENT IN OUR STRENGTH, SUBLIME IN OUR WISDOM.

Hidden W isdom From 'a Land of Miracles But down through the ages, uncontaminated by our materialistic knowledge,

- , 4 ~

-i'n a 'far cotint ry where such knowledge couldn't reach; the ANCIENT WIS'. DOM has been kept'alive: How thankful we' may be thilt, sheltered behindthe highest mountains in the world, this sacred heritage has been preservedfor us-a higher understanding of th e C reat iv e Power within us, an d th emethods wise men have discovered for making the most of that power in ourdaily lives and our daily affairs? ,, The few travelers who have visited it cal l i t the land of miracles-as indeed'it i s- for men there can do thing s that cannot be seen anywhere else in theworld. Century after cen tury , a carefully chosen group o f wise men havehere passed on, from generation to generation, carefuHy guarded secrets thatwere held too' precious for the mul ti tude, too potent to be permitted to fallinto the'hands of the unwor thy. I have witnessed many of their powers mademanifest, and I wa nt to prove t hem to you:

Revealed Only To a Chosen Few These wise men are the latest of a long , unbroken chain of wise men 'extend ing back certainly for three thousand ye ars , a thousand yea rs befor e th eChr is ti an era" lfnd no one blOWS how many thousand years before that. Tothis day, these sages preserve the use of Sanskri t, the earliest known language,from which some scholars bel ieve most of the whi te men 's languages spran/!;.Our great museums, various temples of the East, contain manuscripts in thisremote tongue, the,wisdom carefully guarded in parable and poetry.

A Message From the Last Home of the Unknown In the heart of ageless Asia, ' in the strange land of Tibet , t he torch of thiswisdom still burns, carefully tended by a chosen few. I,nto this forbiddenplace of mystery, this l as t home of the unknown, this "roof of the world" as it is called, foreigners are not allowed to enter, except in rare cases and underspecial condi.tions. It i s s ti ll t he least known country of the world, broodingsi lently over the riddles of the ages, carefully guarding i tsel f f rom the pol lu tion of a materialistic age.

And her e one of the latest of the age-old cha in o f wise men became myteacher. My profession of geographer and map-maker brought me JO thecountry. Through a weir d combination of c ircumstances , I was f o r ~ u n a t eenough to ent er ; and to sit as a s tudent at t he fee t of this remarkable man.What I learned ..here I wi sh to disclose to you , for I bel ieve THE TIME HASCOME FOR THE TRUTH TO SET MEN FREE.

Inconceivable Immensity of Mind The effect of this knowledge upon a person"is indescribable. No one couldwithout experience conceive of the power i t gives, the immensi ty of mind, thecontrol over yourself and over others, the mastery and ability i t provides inal l fields of endeavor.

Perhaps a cer ta in ' exper ience of a f ri end of mine wil l give you a partialidea. When a you th , my friend was fond of swimming. He had never swlJ!llmore than a half-mile in his l ife, however, when one day he decided to attempta five-mile swim. As he p a s s e d ~ t h e first half-mile, he began to lose h is wind.Soon his heart started pounding, he W1!S gasping for every breath, and his,face be came a ma sk of ag onized effort. Presently, when he thought hesimply had, to g ive up, he suddenly dr ew a deep br eath, then another andanother, and his t roub les were over. To h im it seemed a miracle. He had"o""r before real ized what second wind," was. He almost shouted fo r joy

the plenty and happiness they' deserve. And, though it happens every day, it isENTIRELY UNNECESSARY. Such people need only follow the principles ofEasy P le nt y a nd Per sona l Maste ry , which r evea l unsuspected opportunities,unforeseen sources of posit ions, unthought of plans for money-making? andresources right at hand that have been overlooked.You no doubt remember the s to ry of t he man who searched the world overfor a way to wealth-only to return home, an apparent failure, and find an acreof diamonds on the old homestead. Thus it is with all of us. R ight a t h and a reresources undreamed-of, which we overlook.

Get Your Share 0/ the Flow oj 'Ab'undance Let Mentalphysics help you find those resources, which are ALWAYS there forthose who have qes to see. Few people who have p lenty o f money and successreally know how it came about . They only THINK they know. Learn the realprinciples underlying the flow of abundance, and it wil l come to you steadily andautomatically, instead of haphazardly aRd accidentally. The good things o f lifeare always a t hand, always trying to find you, if you ~ l but OPEN THE DOOR.Your Acre of Diamonds is 'very likely r ight under your nose as you read this, bu tyou haven't the'EYE TO SEE . Let Mentalphys.ics tell you about the INNER EYE,and enjoy the h ri gh t new world a nd t he amazing possibilities it discloses to you.

The lat terhad induced the advertis ing man to t ak e t he jo b by .intimating he w.as ~ b e u tready to retire. Th e adyertising man's one great ambi tion was to get t h a ~ ,ten-thousand-dollar-a-year job. Fo r .almost two yeflrs h e w ai ted f or the manabove h im to step out. Then the great disappointment came. His super io rsigned a contract for another yea r, when the adver ti sing ma n felt tha t surelyhis t ime had now come.

In a dudgeon of chagrin and anger, the a d v ~ r t i s i n g man resigned his position.His house of cards had fallen down. His one ambition had collapsed. He wentthrough a lot of foolish agony about the matter-entirely needless-for, thoughhe didn't know it, HIS AMBITION WAS TOO SMALL. Unknown to him, ana cr e o f diamonds was at hand. -

Did Not Know What li e lIad Like many another adver tising man, he had spent idle moments in wha t hethought to be FANCIFUL pictures of business that might be t ri ed some time inthe dim and dis tant future. He used to l augh at himself for this habit , and quotethe old 30ng, "I'm forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles ' in the a ir ." Exce ptfor amusement , t hese "bubbles" seemed to him to be entirely too fantastic.Without the INNER EYE to see with, he didn't know what he had-just as you ,'probably, don't know o f t he GREAT WEALTH that YOU can have. ..Now, without a job, with two years apparently wasted, the advertlsmg man~ e c i d e d , in f ~ a r and t rembling, to t ry one'of his "bubbles." Within two years hehad a fortune of one-quarter of a million dollars. His ")JUbble" turned out to bean acr e o f diamonds that all along had been under his nose. :::nstead of makingten thousand dollars a vear-alJ he hoped for-he made TEN TIMES tha t muchand ' more.

accidents you are likely t9 wait forever. But there is no need for YOU to ,dependupon accident and .:ircuffistance. Instead of waiting for sheer luck, you can'acquire knowledge of the INNER EYE which helps you to SEE t he a cr es ofdiamonds ar!lund you.Fo r thousands of years wise men have been ponde ri ng the mat te r, and havediscovered methods and practices, little known in our Western world, that areastonishingly effective in disclosing the great possibilities of fortune around you.THEIR WISDOM, IS YOURS-you have but to reach for i t -and those "blibbles"of yours may leave the' a ir and COME DOWN TO EARTH, enabli:Qg you, too,to SLIDE t oward success .

L IKE THE ADVERTISING MAN whose story is g iven a b9ve , mos t o f ou rsuccessful men head in the right direction through pure accident. O t h ~ r sunknowingly and unconsc iously follow the right principles part o f t he t im e,and only THINK they kDow t he r ea son f or t he ir success. That is why few ofthem can really te ll others h.owto succeed.Oh, we know they get together in their chambers of commerce and t he irmillionaire clubs, pa t themselves and each other ,on the back, and tel l one anotherwhat great fel lows they are. We know that, they try to tell us t ha t i t was superiorbrains, or abi li ty , or industry, that accounted for their success. But don 't l etth em pul l t he wool over your eyes. Mos t of t hem haven 't any more b ra in s andability than you have; many of them have far less ed.ucation,' and some of themare downr ight l azy. You 'l l find one who was g iven a PUSH by apparently hardl uck, l ike the adver ti si ng man , and practically STUMBLED upon his acre ofdiamonds-anotheywho was so lazy he wouJdn't work for other people a nd HADto go into bus iness for himself-still another who did the same thing because hewas NOT ABLE to earn a comfortable ~ a l a r y working for other people-andothers who were practically FORCED into a fortunate investment by some highpowered salesman. No wonder t he y c an no t t el l u s t he laws of success!

All this is contrary, perhaps, to the "go-get ter" books and the "successpsychology" you have been reading. You wi ll find much in Men ta lphys ics thatis ABSOLUTELY CONTRARY to Western ideas. The wise men of th e Eas t a retoo keen, too penetrating in their t hink ing. to a ll ow tbe wool to be pulled overtheir eyes. They know that many successful people JUST HAPPENED to beheading in the right direction at the right time.But they know something more, they have gone far deeper, t h r o u ~ h thousandsof years t hey have found ways and means of FINDING, WITHOUT WAITINGFOR ACCIDENT, T HE ACRE OF DIAMONDS AT T HE HAND OF EVERYMAN AND WOMAN. .

The Easy and Calm Way to Success Our Western "go-get ter" methods often bring on only ne rvous col la ps e,physical and menta l exhaustion, premature o ld age , and a thousand other ilJs,without, in most cases, bringing any success whatever to the s).lflerer. The greatmedical problem of today, in Ameri ca , is t he rapid increase of nervous ailmentsir. the nation. As never before, doctors are bes ieged with nervous wrecks,complex-ridden people-and the population of medical inst itut ions is growingso rapidly as to alarm and amaze thos e who know th e facts.

Worry Quickly Mastered ;. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE HE IEF' of these handicaps lies, in th eMIND ALONE. And none know it better than those who suffer f rom them. 'Yet, knowing that in thei r minds res ides a power fo r 1>vercoming these habits,the sincere and' earnest'sufferers find'themselves unahle t o r ea ch that power.Practically aU have tr ied the usual formulre-telling themselves that they must

And no wonde r!Doing all this is.not as easy as some of our psychologists would have' us believe,nor i s it as cOlJ1plicated as others would'intimate. By Western methods, o{course,it is extremely difficult in most c a ~ e s ; because the p roblem is approached fromthe wrong viewpoint.

And it is our FEELINGS that are atthe bottom of fear, inferiority complexes,. worry and other mental difficulties.Long before we in the West rea lized' the vast power hidden within us, wise menof the East perceived it, and discovered ways of reaching that power through th'efeelings as wel l a s through the thoughts.

In Mentalphys!cs you willfind' methods that ar e unusual ly effective for get ting in touch with that powermethods worked out through thousands of years by generation after generation ofWise men, methods found remarkably effective by many of our members.Poise, Charm, Personal Magnetism

Poise and charm, magnetism and character , are the natural attr ibutes of onewho finally comes to know t he r ea l power within h im . To such a one , t hese worldconquering attributes come without ellort, without strain, EASILY and NATURALLY. They become t be HABIT OF LIVING. All t he good things of l ife pourthemselves upon such a person. The woman tbus endowed f inds herself popular, invited everywhere, asked tobe leader in var ious social act iv it ies, with a choice of friendships that makes herlife a rarely pleasant -adventure indeed. She f inds her husband a g ra te fu l and, devoted helpmate, her children worshipful, and her home a haven o f loyal ty anddevotion-all through the influence of her own gracious presence.

Friends to Help at Every Tnrn The man t hu s endowed finds oppor tuni ty coming hi s way, 'wi th employe rsclamoring for his services. He is able.to help his children in t he right paths, theway i s made easy for the carrying out o f h is p lans , and friends are r eady to helphim at every turn.,With such rewards in sight , ~ v e r y man and woman should find as quickly aspossible the real POWER WITHIN. Let Mentalphysics guide you toward such agoal, as thousands of o.thers have done, and seize from l if e the great rewards instore for, you. 'Greater Mental Powers - Greater Qevelopment of YourTalents - Greater linowledge

IN THE WEST, ~ do not appreciate sufficiently that mental power,talent, ability, and wisdom ,are largely a matter of INSPIRATION. We depend_ too much upon arduous acquisition of detail. Ou r col lege s turn out young menby t he t hous ands who have qui te a grasp, of. detailed information on varioussubjects, bu t who lack inspiration; who do not seem able t o u se t he ir knowledge to good advantage , who are n ~ given the RIGHT THOUGHT AT THERIGHT TIME. Nothing of value, 'permanently, has ever been accomplished without INSPIRA.TION. The permanently successful man or woman, in all fie lds, is t he one uponwhose mind FLASHES the right IDEA when needed. Abi li ty is chie fly a matterof the f requency and dependabi li ty of such Hashes of intui tion. They bleak outof the subconscious mind into the conscious mind-no one knows exactly how-toblossom forth into great works of wri ting, of music , of finance, irlvimtion, ar t ini ts var ious forms.
