THE NEW ONTOLOGY A Complete Course of Lessons on a New Science Which Explains Life, Death & Spiritual Phenomena BY ROYLE THURSTON

Note: We have secured from Mr. Thurston the sole right to publish from month to month the entire lessons which comprise the four parts of his 'science. This is the first time any magazine has ever attempted to publish in its pages such an exhaustive work as this and we are anxious to have our readers follow the lessons carefully. If you secure future issues of this magazine and preserve them you will have the entire science of "The New Ontology,” which will cover many pages. “The New Ontology” completely covers the subjects of Hypnotism, Telepathy, Psychology, Biology, Astrology, Cosmology, Ontology. Psychic and Spiritual Healing, Personal Magnetism, Clairvoyance, Disease, Health, Happiness and Success. Methods and complete rules are given for producing these occult and mysterious phenomena and the science clearly shows how health may be obtained and maintained. “The New Ontology" is, without a doubt, the most complete and wonderful science ever written, and was prepared during a period of three years, while Mr. Thurston was testing his methods and systems in connection with his work before The New York Institute for Psychical Research. This science is not published in book form and can only be learned through the series published in this magazine.—Editor.

SPECIAL NOTE We wish to announce that many of our readers have written to us requesting the privilege of asking a few questions relative to the lessons in the current issues. For this reason we have made arrangements with Mr. Thurston to have our readers send in their questions to us, which he will answer in the following issue. We should be glad to have all our readers take advantage of this unusual privilege, sending their questions, which should pertain only to matters published in the lessons, to the Editorial offices. Mr. Thurston will gladly make plain any point or subject concerning which the student is in doubt. The name of the questioner will not be published in connected with the answer.. During the past month there have been so many calls for the previous lessons on New Ontology, that our supply of these lessons is rapidly being exhausted. The price of the lessons on hand is 15c. each. The price will advance every month.— Editor.

Lesson Number Five. Since there are three principles to a magnet and three evidences necessary to demonstrate and make possible these principles of the magnet, these evidences being given, my student cannot doubt that the human body is a magnet. There is but one more principle to which I wish to call the attention of my student. It has been stated that the degrees or proportion of the two electrical qualities of the human body vary in each. Therefore the magnetic qualities of each human body vary also. If the two electrical qualities are properly proportioned in a human body the magnetic

qualities of that body will be stronger than those in a body where the positive and negative qualities are not properly proportioned. Therefore the magnetic qualities in some human beings are very strong, while in other bodies they are very weak. Will my student be kind enough to keep this in mind throughout the future lessons?

THE RELATION OF THE MIND AND LIFE FORCE. In previous lessons it was stated that the Soul possesses the life force, or in other words, the Soul consists of the vital life force. It was also stated that the Soul possesses the Mind as an attribute. For this reason the Mind and the life force are closely related. The Mind is the intelligence which governs the action of the vital functions and for this reason the Mind must GOVERN THE ACTION OF THE LIFE FORCE. Since the vital life force, of which the Soul is composed, is positive electricity, the Mind must govern the action of the positive quality of the life force. The Mind can have no control over the action of the negative quality of the life force, because this quality is of the earth and its elements and is merely negative or of no actual quality. The foregoing being true, then it follows that through the Mind, its divisions and attributes, functions and faculties, the POSITIVE qualities of the life force, or the vital quality itself, can be governed in its action within the human body.

A BRIEF REVIEW. Before proceeding further and entering upon the most serious part of the science, I must ask my student to bear with me while I briefly review the principal statements in the foregoing lessons. In substance they were as follows: Man is primarily made of a physical, negative substance, which of itself is without any manifestation of life whatsoever. Life depends upon a positive electrical magnetic force acting upon the negative substance of which the body or all matter is composed. This positive electrical magnetic force reaches this earth and all planets and all space through the vibrations of the Sun in the air. Although the Sun and its vibrations is the source of all life, this life also depends upon matter of the earth with tits negative qualities in order that life can manifest itself. Since the Sun's positive electrical force manifests life and is the most potent force in life and having intelligence, the Sun is the guiding Divine Intelligence and Force of the Universe. God in Omnipotence rules and controls the directing power and force of the Sun. When the positive qualities of life from the Sun come in contact with the negative, earthly substances, life is manifested and in a human body a Soul is created. This Soul is immortal. It cannot die, for not being of earthly substances it cannot decay. When the body becomes diseased or injured the positive force from the Sun leaves the body and returns to whence it

came: this leaves the body without life and the earthly substances of the body,—the matter,— dies and decays: for matter cannot live without it being infused with the positive qualities of the Sun. The Mind being an attribute of the Soul, it too is immortal and cannot be destroyed or lost to life. The Mind is also the guiding intelligence of the Soul while in the human body and since Man is but a living Soul, independent of all matter and earthly substances, the Mind is Man's guiding intelligence and power while he lives upon this earth. All students will do well to memorize the above summary, for much depends upon a knowledge of these principles.

Part Two. The Physiology of Life. INTRODUCTION.

My students will find this part of my work, to be the greatest proof I can present to uphold my science. Therefore its serious study is strongly advised. My students will note with satisfaction how easily and consistently the physiology of life can be explained with the theory I have already outlined, without deviating from the principles and propositions given in previous lessons. Science and medicine offer hundreds of explanations for the various phenomena of life but these phenomena are so related that the principles

which explain one, should explain all of them. But they do not. We find medicine and science at variance in regard to the principle or quality of the life force, and we find medicine giving one explanation for the condition known as Hypnosis, while science will give another explanation. It must be apparent that explanations for these phenomena cannot be made to order to suit the various experiences. The principles which explain life, must explain death, if the explanation or the principles involved be correct. An explanation which is offered to explain the maintenance of life and its action upon the body must explain the peculiar physical demonstration known as "physic force vibrations.” How absurd it is to hear science offering various explanations for the phenomena known as Spiritualistic when none of these explanations embody the fundamental principles of their theory of life. If the Spiritualistic demonstrations are actual their explanations should embody the principles of life, of death, and all attending phenomena. It is these things, these inconsistencies which make medicine and science ludicrous theories. Medicine has failed to find a system of curing disease simply because it has not found the true principles of life. Science has failed to scientifically explain life simply because it has failed to recognize the true cause of life. This science is a complete hypothesis which will readily explain, scientifically and consistently, all the phenomena of life. This being true, it is the first and only science which has ever been able to do this. For this reason carefully follow the explanations given in this part of my work and note the references made.

LIFE.

In my previous lessons I have practically explained what life really is. I shall here briefly outline its creation. For years great men, wise in medicine and science, have been attempting to artificially create life. Loeb, Littlefield, and many others have stated many times that they were interested in such research work. But could anything be more absurd. “Artificial creation.” Are these not contradictory terms? Can any creation of life be artificial? If creation of life is accomplished at all it must be real, genuine. To think for one moment that there can be a substitution for life, or an artificial force used for creating life, is too absurd for consideration. We cannot believe that this is what is meant by these men when they use the foregoing term. What they do mean is to create life otherwise than through the regular method provided by nature. They do not mean to substitute nature's laws, but rather to utilize nature’s laws through an artificial or different medium.
