INTRODUCTION.
The average life is comparatively barren in life results. It is unnecessary that such should be the case, or that the life should be subject to those conditions and uncertainties of mind which bring failure and unhappiness. It is the right of each individual to be truly successful and to satisfy his legitimate desires. It is the purpose of this publication to show how that may be done and by rightful methods. It outlines methods by which one may get better command of the finer forces in nature by first getting command of those same forces which are represented within himself. It shows how he may apply those interior forces in his everyday life in ways that will bring better surrounding conditions, better health, true friendships, the companionships which rightfully belong to marriage, also self-knowledge, wisdom, wealth, power, true progress, in fact, all that could contribute to his happiness and true success. It is only natural that the results of a life should be fluctuating and unsatisfactory so long as its standards of action are as changeable as a weathercock. It is the privilege and should be the effort of each individual to understandingly govern his conduct by those occult, fundamental principles of human nature which are unchangeable, for it is only when that is done that the results of the life are likely to be uniformly successful and fortunate.

OCCULTISM IN A NUTSHELL.
The following rules, being based on occult principles in nature, will, if fully applied, enable any person to invoke the assistance of occult forces in the accomplishment of every practical duty in life.
It is shown how they may be applied to produce seemingly impossible results in all business and art. The business man who applies them will soon find that there is no need for excessive bodily exertion, that much more can be accomplished by thus making business a pleasure, and that the convulsive body-straining methods of business usually adopted, actually drive results away instead of attracting them.
It is not alone to business and art that these principles apply. They may be successfully applied in all matters of health, in the acquisition of knowledge, in the formation of suitable plans, in judgments of human character, in the pursuit of happiness here and hereafter.
If founded on the truly occult laws in nature, it is apparent that the same principles, being fundamental, would also unravel religious and ethical enigmas which otherwise, to us would remain shrouded in Egyptian darkness and mystery. Does all this seem like promising too much? The principles involved are self-evident, even though this publication should not fully prove them so. If you fail to comprehend them, you may nevertheless obtain proofs by simply applying the rules.
The field of Occult Science is so broad that there are thousands of theories and incidental applications which naturally spring from the few basic principles involved. Many short-sighted students of Occultism gormandize on the browsings of side issues, without applying the basic principles, and, by their meager life results, subject the claims of Occultists to the ridicule of thoughtless people. Such mistakes by no means invalidate their broad claims, and should be regarded only as an evidence of the fascinations of the subject. A stall fed ox, if suddenly turned into a fresh field of clover, would be liable temporarily to quite forget the capacity of his stomach. Such thoughtlessness, on the part of the ox, and its results, might lead equally thoughtless people to the conclusion that clover was not adapted to his wants.
If truly understood, there is nothing which equals the occult philosophy in satisfying the cravings of hungry human hearts. It teaches the "heart religion" —the religion of love. It alone explains the relations which exist between man and his source, and thus enables man to demonstrate the omnipotence of that source. Its theories and their practice should go hand in hand. The soul cannot fully understand its own powers, until those soul qualities are awakened. A few rules for so awakening them are herein given. Beginners may consider them too simple to be effectual, but, as they gain in knowledge and experience, esoteric meanings which at first were hidden, will appear, and the rules will as gradually gain in interest and value to them.
By faithfully observing these rules, one will obtain daily silent help from an occult fraternity which has repeatedly demonstrated its power to thus help thousands—a power which grows in volume daily as members are added to its ranks. Those whose hearts are prepared for the growth and...
