Turning On Astral Power For Miracles In Your Life I will not insult your intelligence by asking you if you need money. Of course, you do. We all do. But what good is money if you have poor health, a terminal illness, a poor marriage, or an unhappy existence in general? Actually, this book was very nearly not written. You see, not too long ago I was supposed to have passed to spirit—died—come to the end of the line—but here I am, sitting at my desk, writing “What This Book Can Do For You.” What good would a lot of money have done me if the curtain had been pulled down on my physical life? > This book can prepare you not only for the highest type of physical living, including all of the material benefits you need or desire, but it can also prepare you to become a Citizen o f the Universe. I am going to teach you how to join hands with persons on all levels of consciousness. You can have many friends and associates that you never thought possible before. I am going to see that you un­ derstand what Astral Power can do for you. Even before you finish reading my book, you will be actually dealing your own winning hands. A Few of the Things This Book Can Do for You Save you from death? Save you from poor health? Solve your money problems once and for all times? Protect you and your property from criminal forces? Keep evil influences away from you? Solve your sex and marriage problems? Change your personality? Make your future life known to you? Make it possible for you to find fabulous hidden treasure? Make it possible to renew old friendships or love relations and find new friends in the Astral World? Bring peace and harmony into your life? Bring you closer to God? The answer to all of these questions is “Yes.” 3

The Really Big Computer You might still be thinking about my statement concerning be­ ing on the “spirit side of life.” “ How do you know?” you ask. Remember when you were a child, how your parents told you that everything you did was written down in a big book up in the sky? Well, your elders were not kidding. The computer in the Astral World has a perfect record of your behavior. There is also a projected record of things that are most likely to happen to you. My projected Akashic Record revealed that I was to pass over at 8:00 a.m., February 20, 1972. What happened? Why didn’t it come to pass? Why am I still here on earth? I have been working on a method of tapping Astral Power for years. Hundreds of books concerning cosmic power have been and are being written. There is always something missing. I just finished reading one of those books, hot off the press. There is still something missing. I know what that missing something is, for I found it just in time to save my earthly life. As a result of reading the pages of this book, you can discover how to reshape your present and future by tapping this all-powerful force. The Great Search for the Truth Begins I will never forget my first day of college teaching. There I was, standing before a group of students who had signed up for Psychology I. I looked into their eager faces and knew that they ex­ pected more than I could give. Here I was, highly recommended because I had the highest degree any university grants, Ph.D., from one of the leading universities in the world, the University of Michigan. I had further distinguished myself by objectively proving that personality could be measured. I was supposed to be an authority on human behavior. These students really believed this. At this very moment, before I spoke a word, the truth was revealed to me. Like a thunderbolt the thought struck me, “You know very little about life and human behavior.” Somehow I got through that hour, mouthing the teachings of my professors who un­ fortunately had never been hit by such a thunderbolt. And so it was that I began the long search. I studied everything I could find on the subject of parapsychology and related fields. I learned all of the various methods of meditation, studied hypnosis and Astral projection, and learned all available knowledge about the

various levels of consciousness, I reviewed my training in the field of psychology with a new set of values, since I wanted to learn how to free the human brain from all the blocks and obstructions that get in the way in a purely physical existence. Finally, I journeyed back in time and space 3,000 years to Tibet and found that at that time I was a Brahman priest. Later in my book, I will tell you the thrilling story of finding that I used my magic formula 3,000 years ago. I had rediscovered it. No longer can a thunderbolt thought pattern hit me and say “You know nothing about human behavior.” Try to Understand the Full Scope of the Big Computer Sheila’s husband, Milbourne, was killed five years ago in an automobile accident. The car hit a tree at over 100 miles per hour. All three occupants were killed. The police reported that Milbourne was driving the car. Sheila never believed that her husband was driving. All three were in the front seat. All had been drinking. Sheila insisted that her husband always had fairly good control of the car even if he had a few drinks. She believed that if her hus­ band had been driving, the accident would not have happened. No one saw the accident since it occurred at night. Sheila wanted me to contact her husband and find out the truth. I assigned the task to one of my Astral Helpers, Lenna (you will learn in great detail what they can do for you as you apply my secret for­ mula). Lenna is my wife’s mother-in-spirit. At first, Lenna could not find Milbourne. It appears that he was lost in space—he never got from here to there. Lenna finally did find Milbourne and got him started on the right track. Of course, to answer his wife’s question, all we needed to do was ask Milbourne if he was driving. We did not do this. Lenna located the Akashic Record of the accident. During one of my meditation periods, she made it possible for me to see a replay of the actual accident. Milbourne was seated in the middle. The driver was apparently too drunk to know what was going on. The other man was sound asleep. As the car was about to hit the tree, Milbourne’s hands went up as though to protect himself from what was about to take place. I will never forget the horrible look on Milbourne’s face. This moving pic­ ture was brought to me in living color, just as it happened. It proved that Milbourne was not driving the car. Without our so-called cameras, a complete photographic record

of every activity of every form of life is permanently recorded. Try to understand the terrific scope of this really big computer. It staggers the imagination. In one of the chapters of this book, I am going to tell you about a moving picture record that is even more remarkable—that of the future. Can you imagine your seeing the Kentucky Derby or any other event before it takes place? You can’t lose with my system. 1 Have Worked With Many People Like You I have worked with people from all walks of life—factory workers, clerks, salesmen, supervisors, housewives, machine operators, research scientists, teachers, college presidents, ministers, bank presidents, top-notch executives from many of the largest cor­ porations in the United States. In most cases, they all have the same problems. They all want success, recognition, love, and wealth; they all want to put meaning into their lives. The great majority of people do not know what their mission in life is. I am sure that we will all agree that it is not to land in prison for some crime. I am equally certain that we were not put here just to have a good time. We all want to accomplish something worthwhile; we want to be prosperous; we want to be regarded as a success. Since much of our civilization depends upon money, we want to get our share and get it honestly now. We want to feel that we have earned all the money we get because we have been successful and contributed something to make this world a better place in which to live and love. The Ancients Tapped Astral Power The ancients knew how to use Astral Power, but through the decades, humans lost the power as they plunged into the purely physical aspects of life—money for money’s sake—sex for sex’s sake—everything for what it would do for you. When we say “ancients,” most people think of the Orient or In­ dia. However, there was an ancient empire in America 10,000 years ago. There were tremendous cities of inestimable wealth. These cities and their inhabitants may well have been superior to us in many ways. They had a government that was not corrupt but one that solved the social and economic problems of the day, so that no one needed to work more than three or four hours a week. They had scientists as

well as lawmakers, and skilled workers as well as members of the professions. I am referring to the ancient Mayas. Ten thousand years ago, thought and imagination were at work, the product of Astral Power. We are now just discovering anew what was known and used for a happy and prosperous living long before Christ was born. Thought, imagination and faith worked miracles for the Mayas. They overcame disease for which scientists today still do not have the complete answers. They even knew the science of blood transfusion and anesthesia. They were great mathematicians. Personal cleanliness was a must for all classes of the ancient Mayas. They carried on commerce when most of the world was a wilderness. Metal work, weaving, cloth-making, pottery, sculpture, painting, prose and poetry were at their peak 500 years before Christ was born. Prosperity, Health and Happiness Must Be Your Goal I intend to help you turn on the power supply through the rich ideas that come directly from God through your spiritual con­ sciousness. Through the power of thought, you can cause prosperity to appear at will. Astral Power Consciousness is the source of all that you need and desire. As you tap the power of the Astral World, you under­ stand that God is the source of wealth, success and abundance—of all that your heart desires. I have cut through all the philosophical wanderings of the an­ cients and moderns to bring to you a practical, down-to-earth, easy to understand system that really works. You will find that it works, and that is the all-important fact—that it works. It was a long time before I understood what I was doing. I still have to accept part of this system on faith for Astral Power does not follow the laws of physics as we know them. I cannot prove it to a scientific mind. I would not try, for over the years I have learned better. I once tried to prove to a group of scientists at Columbus, Ohio that a person in a hypnotic-trance could see through anything, in­ cluding lead plates. They had not read about it in their textbooks, so when my hypnotic subject accurately saw through lead plates, they just shrugged their shoulders and walked off. Not one was even curious about it.

Do You Believe In Miracles? Do you believe in miracles? I do. Turning on Astral Power is a miracle that the ancients knew well. I have mastered it; so can you. I was helping perform miracles many years ago, long before I had fully developed my magic formula for helping people help themselves. Let me give you just one illustration. One day, when I was a psychological consultant for the Air Force during World War II, I got a call to come down to the person­ nel department. On arriving, I was told that several employees were complaining about a secretary who had the misfortune of developing a very serious case of psoriasis. Her face, hair, arms, legs and body were all covered with scaly red patches. Other employees were refus­ ing to work with her or even be in the same room with her. I was asked the question, “Can you help her?” Unfortunately, I was scheduled to leave the next day on an extensive trip to many Air Force installations in California, Texas, Florida and New England. I agreed to spend at least one hour with her. Marjorie Owens was an attractive, married woman with two children. Her husband was in the service. She had consulted several medical specialists to no avail. I was given a quiet room at the first aid station. I had her lie down on a day bed and I put her through as much of my system as I had developed at that time. She was cooperative and did her best. I could only hope that some help would come her way, for I had no more time to help her. It was over two months before I returned to the Air Force Head­ quarters. Naturally, I was curious to find out what had happened to Marjorie Owens. I called her boss and he asked me to come over at once. At first I did not recognize her, but there she sat at her desk without a sign of psoriasis. It was truly a miracle. Help from the Astral World had done what medical science could not do. She smiled a truly grateful smile as she came over to thank me for solving her problem. She stated that all signs of psoriasis all over her body disappeared within three days after I had worked with her. I understand that the University of Michigan Medical Center is still looking for a cure for psoriasis. To date, they have found none. All medical and psychological centers are looking for answers to problems, spending millions of dollars on research to no avail. Why? Because they deny the existence of the all-powerful force that can produce miracles, the secret helpers from the Astral World.

No Need to Depend Upon Others For Help Recently, a very famous spiritual healer was on TV interviewing a woman who had been cured of bone cancer at one of the healer’s meetings, i was reading the Sunday paper while listening to the TV and saw an article about another bone cancer patient in California who was not healed but was throwing a party for all of her friends. She ordered the doctor to keep her alive until the party was over. We can call the one who was finally admitted to the healing ser­ vice after three attempts lucky. But what about the great majority who are not healed? All of these unfortunate people could have tap­ ped the unlimited power that is available through the secret helpers from the Astral World in their homes, without benefit of a hospital or the struggle to get into a healing service. As I write these lines, it is dark and rainy outside. The humidity must be near 100 percent. My first thought is to go into the bathroom and take some aspirin, for I have a bad sinus headache but here I am, not practicing what I am preaching. I call in one of my favorite spirit friends. Here she is—I just saw her shine little sparkly lights on the paper in front of me. She is saying, “ You want me to get rid of your headache, don’t you?” I did not have time to say yes, when I realized that my headache was gone, so I said, “Thank you.” Now the telephone is ringing. It is Doris from the Chicago office of the Human Engineers, for whom I write hundreds of psychological reports. Doris is telling me to hurry up and finish writing my book so that she can make use of it. “What’s wrong with you now?” I ask. “ I have pains in my shoulders and neck. My doctor gave me some pills but they make me dizzy and woosey,” Doris replied. “ I will send one of my Astral Helpers to Chicago tonight when you are asleep to pick up your Astral body and bring it back to Ann Arbor; then my spirit doctor will get rid of your pains.” “Wouldn’t it be easier for you to send your spirit doctor to Chicago?” Doris asked. “ But I want to see you, O.K.?” I replied. The next morning, Doris called to tell me that all her pains were gone. “ Hurry up and get your book out.” “ I’m hurrying; I’m hurrying.” I replied. A Few Find the Way to Astral Help You should understand that everyone can tap this Astral Power.

It is there for you to use. A few do, not realizing that they have dis­ covered the secret helpers of the Astral World. Alex Manoogian is such a man. He calls his tremendous success in the business world and in life in general “a stroke of luck.” He has given $6 million to church and civic projects and still insists: “ Some people may not believe it, but I am just lucky.” Manoogian started his career working in factories. Finally, he invented a single-handle faucet. He now has 19 plants in the United States and Canada. His sales for 1973 were $200 million. However, as you keep on talking to this very successful man, he finally states, “ I always felt someone in my life guiding me. I don’tknow why—I believe in God—it’s been more than luck; it’s been guidance from somebody.” There you have it. This modest man unconsciously found a way to make use of the secret helpers from the Astral World. He did not know who his spiritual benefactors were, but he did know that they were there. They can do the same for you. Where is your faith in G od’s power? Your Astral Helpers Are Always With You My wife returned from the dentist five hours ago. She is still complaining that her gums are bleeding. She came in my office to use the phone just as I completed the preceding paragraph. “ What do you want to call the dentist for? What about your Astral Helpers?” “ He made my gums bleed and he should do something to stop it,” my wife replied. “ Rather than drive clear across town again, go into the living room and sit down. I will have the Astral Helpers stop the bleeding before you get seated,” I replied. Ten seconds later, she called to me, “No more bleeding. Thank the Helpers for me.” “Thank them yourself. They can read your mind.” I then went on writing this Introduction. It must be remembered that you have to ask for help. Your spirit friends will not help you unless you ask them. Nothing Is Impossible Do you believe in miracles? I do, and you must also. You have been told for years that many things are impossible. Nothing is im-

possible; deep down, within your mind, you know that that statement is true, because you are a part of God and your deepest memories are of the all-powerful God working miracles many thousands of years ago. I want you to awaken from the sound asleep o f the impossible to the great awareness o f the possible through help from the Astral World. These helpers are a part o f God just as you are. Many Lessons To Be Learned in This Book There are many lessons to be learned from this book, but one of the most important is that man does not want to live in an obstructed universe. First came the wheel; then, the domesticated animals to pull the crude types of transportation. Then came boats to sail the seven seas; next, the steamboat and railroad, to be followed by the automobile and airplane. Now man is in space. Although man has made his obstructed world more to his liking, using telephone, radio and television, he still lives in an obstructed world. Our spirit helpers on the Astral and high planes live in an un­ obstructed universe. This book will open to you the way to gain a better understanding of the fuller unobstructed life that can be yours. You can find your own helpers to greater Astral Power and produce many miracles. Is it a healthy life that you want? Are you needing to make more out of your love life? Are your children’s problems getting you down? Is it physical, intellectual or spiritual wealth that you long for? You name it—your secret spirit helpers will see that you get it. They are waiting for your beck and call. I fully realize that you are anxious to get on with the chapters to follow. The words that I have written so far have taken hold of you, conditioning your mind, so that you will gain the greatest good from my magic formula that releases Astral Power. However, please let me give you just one more simple illustration of how my secret helpers are with me, helping me ail the time. I recently needed a part-time typist, so I placed an ad in the daily paper under “ Personal.” Why personal? Because I have discovered that many, many people read this section. There is a good psy­ chological reason why they do. I am sure that you can figure it out. Anyway, when the paper hit the streets, the phone started ring­ ing. I asked each caller a few questions and took down their names, telephone numbers and addresses. Before the next morning, I had so many calls that I was certain that I could find one—but the phone kept ringing. I thanked each caller and told them that the job was filled.

Turning On Astral Power

About 10:30 the following morning, the phone rang again. It was another applicant for the part-time job. One of my secret helpers put the thought in my mind-—“take this girl’s name, address and telephone number. Don’t turn her down.” I took the call and stated that I would see her at her home at 2:30 that afternoon. As I rang the bell and waited for her to answer, my secret helper said, “ She is the best one. Give her the job.” So I did—-and found her all that my secret helper stated she would be. In Chapter 3, you will read the ex­ citing story of how my secret helpers had something else in mind besides typing when they told me to hire Anna. The Many Things Your Astral Helpers Can Do For You I truly wish that I could tell you how wonderful it feels to know that your Astral Helpers are with you 24 hours a day to not only help you over the little rough spots of physical living, but help you really make your life a joy to behold—a type of happiness, health and suc­ cess that is possible only with their help. Your Astral Helpers are ready and waiting to turn on Astral Power. All you have to do is ask and think right. Many of the people I have known have asked and thought right, such as: • The firefighter who nearly became pensioned because of socalled “ permanent lung damage” is back working because of Astral Power. • The office boy who became president of his company and a mil­ lionaire because he opened a flood of Astral Power. • The widow who needed to sell her house found several real es­ tate men unable to sell the house in over a year. Astral Power sold it in two weeks— and she did not need to pay any real estate commission. • The husband who had deserted his wife and family because he believed he was a failure, returned home and climbed the occupational ladder to wealth and success through the help of Astral Power. • The man who dialed the wrong number made a contact that brought him fame and more money than he could possibly use. • The man who tried my system just for “ kicks” became a true

believer after he won a new car in a lottery. He had never won anything of value before in his whole life. • A housewife who bought one 50-cent lottery ticket, then went to church every day for two weeks, repeating the right words, won a million dollars. Her husband had been buying lottery tickets for months without success. • A young man who took over a bankrupt company now has 19 plants in the U.S. He grossed over $200 million last year. He admits that Astral Forces were his keys to success. • A wife who answered the door escaped robbery and rape because her apartment was protected by the Astral Power Security plan. As the rapist entered the apartment, an intense flash of white light barred his way. He fled for his life, • A young woman who was laid off from her job because of poor business received a check in the mail for $15,000 from the estate of a distant relative whom she had not seen or heard from in years. • A businessman whose income was down temporarily, creating a fund shortage and the need to borrow money, received a certified check in the mail for $4,500 in payment of an old account that he had written, off as a bad debt. • A man who had lost track of his sister found himself stopping in a small town while on a business trip and looking in the telephone book. He made one call and located his long-lost sister. Astral Power did a fine job here. ® A young girl escaped robbery and rape as she walked down a dark street late at night. The man had a gun, A penetrating white light knocked the gun out of his hand. He turned white with fright and fled. The Astral Power Protection plan saved her life. » The high school graduate who had not the faintest idea what he wanted to do with his life is now the president of one of the most renowned universities in the East. He never ceases showing his gratitude to me for the many types of wealth that have come his way through Astral Power.

1. How Astral Power Can Bring You A Great New Life— Quickly And Simply When man learned how to split the atom and produce atomic energy, the world was astounded. The first reaction generated was that of fear—man could too easily destroy himself and render this earth worthless. Then ideas concerning the good uses of atomic energy took on meaning for man. Full Release of Your Inner Self Can Be Yours For millions of people, there is an even greater energy force than atomic energy yet to be discovered—Astral Power. Through this book, I intend to prove conclusively that the full release of your inner self produces a far more powerful force than atomic energy. Yes, I mean every word that I have written. Astral Power is the most power­ ful force in the universe. I promise you that full release of your inner self, so that you can tap this powerful force, will be yours. The ancients knew how to release their inner selves. They knew how to gain power from all dimensions or levels of the Astral World. To date, you have been fuctioning on two levels or dimensions that are purely physical. It is doubtful whether or not you are really con­ scious of an inner self. If you do have a dim awareness of your inner self, you doubt its power. You say, “ I can’t do this because. . Real Estate Men Can’t—Astral Power Can How well do 1 remember the widow who had trouble selling her house after her husband passed to spirit. She would have liked to have kept the home. There were many wonderful memories as­ sociated with it. 17

How Astral Power Can Bring You a Great New Life

However, her children were grown and now had their own homes and families. Each one of her children wanted her to spend a part of each year with them, but perhaps it would be better for her to have a little apartment all of her own. In one way, she was tired of rattling around alone in this big house. However, several real estate men told her, “ we can’t sell your house,” for this, that or the other reason, none of which made any sense to her. When Mary Ellen, the widow I have been writing about, told me her story, I offered to help. I gave her the formula and taught her how to meditate. The house was sold for cash in less than two weeks. Astral Power does not know the meaning of “ I can’t.” Jim Changes Failure to Success During my many years of working with people, I have heard many variations of the “ I can’t” theme. It has been my task to reverse this and prove that “ I can” is the right answer. Such was the case of Jim Bailey. He had deserted his wife and family because he believed that he was a failure (“ I can’t” in place of “I can”). When I first saw Jim, he was not doing well on his own either. Evictions and new jobs were the order of the day. He was also wor­ ried about the bills he had left behind. What in the world would his wife do? Why did he lose every job that he got? What was the matter with him anyway? My magic formula started paying off almost immediately. He landed a better job, paid off the bills he had made since leaving his wife and family, made arrangements to pay off all bills, sent for his wife and family and established a new life for all concerned. The financial “ breaks” come fast. Astral Power really produced one op­ portunity after another. it has been some time since I have seen Jim, but as I wrote these lines, I thought of how wonderful it would be to see Jim again, sitting at my desk. How well I remember the forlorn, pitiful, hopeless human being that he was when I first saw him. My daydreams were suddenly interrupted by the ringing of the telephone on my desk. “ Hello,” said I. “ Hi there. This is Jim Bailey. Remember me?” “ Believe it or not, I was just thinking about you and wondering how you and your loving family were getting along.” “Thanks to Astral Power I am taking a year off and taking my

family on a trip around the world. How does that sound to you? I will drop by and tell you all about it. By the way, my Dun & Bradstreet credit rating now runs to six figures. See you soon.” You Must Open Up Your Inner Self to Realize All of Your Heart’s Desires Your inner self is not something apart from you. It is what you are and can be. It is not something to guard or cherish, as a young girl guards her virginity, but something to open up, release and use to bring you anything your heart desires. This inner self not only functions on the physical plane, but on all other planes and in all other dimensions of the universe. You do have access to your inner self. Y ou are not cut off from your inner be­ ing or self. The vast majority of people are like a television set that is tuned only to one very small station. This reminds me of the farmer who was filling his lamps and trimming the wicks one day, when a stranger stopped and asked for a drink of water. The visitor said he was surprised to see the farmer still using kerosene lamps when rural electricity was available. “ Don’t you want electric current?” he asked. “Oh! We’ve got it in case we ever need it,” the farmer replied. “ But so far we haven’t had to use it because we’ve never run out of kerosene.” Ralph Makes It Big With Astral Power Over the years, 1 have found thousands of people who are like the television set tuned to one small station; people who are still “us­ ing kerosene lamps,” so to speak. Not so with Ralph Spade. I first knew him as a college student working his way through the university. I taught him to think big, set his goals high and never say “ I can’t”—to regard every job as an op­ portunity to really make a contribution to his employer. Although he started as a clerk, he spent much of his time learn­ ing all there was to know about the company. He set his sights high. He was easily satisfied with the best, as Churchill used to say. He did not expect to get a gold watch after completing 50 years of service as a bookkeeper, and knew that he would be president of a large in­ dustrial organization some day. He applied my formula well. Ralph advanced rapidly and arrived at the vice-president level at

the same time the company decided to make all of their vicepresidents millionaires. You guessed it—he worked for General Motors. Astral Power made the difference. There Are No Limitations On Your Inner Self The truth of the matter is that there can be communication back and forth to all levels of the self. All you have to do is turn the dial. It is only because you have a highly limited idea of your own self that you insist that you cannot do things—gain health, wealth and recognition. There are no limitations to your inner self. There are no boundaries to enclose it and deny it freedom. The inner self (some call it the soul) is the most highly motivated, powerful and conscious unit in the whole universe. I want you to be different from the great mass of people—to realize that this unlimited energy force is there for you to use. God did not intend us to live in poverty, suffer ill-health or miss out on the beauties of nature. God wants you to live the good life. “ But my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in Glory,” (Phil. 4:19). The abundance of things all around us are for us to use. The potential force that you have is now unbelievable to you. You must see that its potentials are limitless. You must see that within you are personalities beyond your comprehension. But have faith, for the time will come when you will comprehend. I am not talking about the great personalities of history. I am talking about “ Little old you,” who are living in one, small, dark cor­ ner of a castle that could give you everything you ever dreamed of. Look at yourself in the mirror. Do you honestly believe that the personality you are now conscious of is all there is to the total you? If that is what you believe, you are really walking around dead. Non-Believer Becomes Believer Stanley Lair was one of those persons who did not believe in the great potential force of Astral Power. He finally tried my system just for “kicks.” Much to his surprise, he won a new car in a lottery. He had never won anything of value before in his life. I probably was suprised also, for I did not believe that he really applied himself as well as he should have. However, when he told me the good news, I knew that he was ready to settle down to fully releasing this wondrous Astral Power. “ Little old Stanley” has now become aware of the “castle of op­ portunity” in which he lives. He has ceased living in one small, dark

How Astral Power Can Bring You a Great New Life

21

corner of that castle life. He won $25,000 in a lottery; six weeks later, he won $200,000, in the same state lottery. I don’t expect to hear him griping any more about his hard luck, or about life passing him by, or why is it the other fellow who always has all the luck. Astral Power to the Rescue Time and distance mean little in the Astral World. No matter what the problem may be, the solution can be now. This is beautifully illustrated by the case of Lillian Dolittle. She got laid off from her job one day without notice. Of course, she could collect unemployment insurance and hope for the best. When Lillian told me that she didn’t intend to settle for un­ employment insurance or just any old job, I agreed to help her. I gave her my formula for making money come her way. I told her to main­ tain complete confidence that being laid off was really a blessing. Three days later she received a check in the mail for $15,000 from the estate of a distant relative. She then had plenty of time to seek a bet­ ter job with a greater opportunity within a field of activity that she liked. No Need to Borrow Money With Astral Power Paul Ryan could not keep out of his mind the thought that he would need to go to the bank and borrow money. His trucking business was down temporarily due to a strike. “No need to do that,” I told him as we talked on the street cor­ ner. “Come over to my office and i will help you solve this problem.” “But how can you help? Will you lend me the money?” replied Paul. “Now wait a minute. Who said anything about borrowing money from anyone? Just come over to my office and I will tell you how to get the money you need.” I put Paul through the ritual and told him the correct words to use. It was less than a week when I again heard from him. He had received a certified check in the mail for $4500 in payment of an old account for trucking that he had written off as a bad debt. Your Great Rewards Can Be Now-—Not After Death What I am telling you, in the strongest language at my com­ mand, is that your real self—your inner being—is the most creative and marvelous form of life that you can understand at the moment. You have heard the statement, “ Don’t sell yourself short.” Most people do just that.

22

How Astral Power Can Bring You a Great New Life

Don’t ever get the idea that you will have to wait for death to get your great rewards. There is inner communication within your greater self right now that will bring directly to you all the rewards you can handle for some time to come. An Exercise to Open Up Your inner Self Please go back and reread the words of this chapter so that you have clearly in mind all the points I have made. Now carry out the following simple exercise. Get as relaxed as you can sitting in a comfortable chair. Close your eyes and let in an awareness of this great source of power from which your life forces come. Think of your inner self as in complete communication with all the Astral Power of the universe. You are a part of God, so it has to be this way. Believe as you never believed before, until you really sense this power flowing outward through your body, flowing out of your hands, feet and body like the rays of the sun—rays that go in all directions with you in the center. Think of more rays of power reaching out into every corner of the universe. Now repeat to yourself: “This is not my imagination. The rays of my consciousness and creativity are reaching out into the farthest corners of the universe. I am truly tapping the all powerful Astral Power that God intended to use for my own success and happiness on earth.” An Oil Company Man Makes It Big With Astral Power Robert Youngblood was at one time an unknown in the oil business. However, he was different from the great majority of peo­ ple. Through my magic formula, R-C-C, I had taught him to tap the Astral Power and call in a group of Astral Helpers. He successfully developed an independent oil company with headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio. He no longer fears the powerful oil interests who were trying to squeeze out all independent companies. He met the challenge, for he had a power a million times greater than anything the Big Boys could come up with. He never cringed when the Big Boys growled at him. He did not take their advice and get out of the business. He would not sell out to any of them, although they offered him a profit—he stood his ground and met all comers. He knew all the tricks they had up their sleeves and what move they would make long before they made it. He was ready for them at all times, for he was God oriented.

His business grew and grew until finally the “big shots” gave up and recognized defeat. Last year, he netted over one and a half mil­ lion dollars from a business that started with little hope of suc­ ceeding. Astral Power made the difference. Bob never ceases to ex­ press his gratitude for what he learned from me. Some of you are wondering why I did not go out and make a bundle of money and not bother to write a book. Well, I will settle that question right now. Even when I was a small boy, I wanted to train myself to help people. This I have done, for I have helped thou­ sands throughout the United States and Canada. I never wanted a lot of money. All I wanted was enough to live comfortably. This has happened. When I need money, it is there. But, let me continue my account of Bob Youngblood. He forgot to apply my secret formula to his family life. He made money, but did not make happiness in his home. His wife and seven children were not doing so well. This all goes to prove, as you probably already know, that money by itself does not make for happiness. All I had to do was remind Bob that he had the Astral Helpers at his beck and call. Both he and his wife had come to the conclusion that they needed new sex partners outside of marriage. They tried this and ended up with guilty consciences. The answers to their problems came quickly, so now Bob has all the wealth he can use and all the give-and-take love he needs from his family. The Abilities of Your Inner Self Are Ready to Go Right Now I promise that no matter what your problem may be, my system will work miracles to bring forth anything you need to develop a well-adjusted personality, good family life and all the wealth and good things in life that your heart desires. Many of the abilities that you need are already operating without your knowledge. They operate in spite of you. Unfortunate­ ly, when you find yourself using these abilities, you often become frightened and run in the opposite direction. I have known of hundreds of people who could have made it big in any area of their choosing. They look back and say to themselves, “why didn’t I do that. . .? I was afraid to take a chance. . . I was ad­ vised against it. . .” Mike’s Precognition Pays Off Big Mike Gilligan kept seeing a big shopping center and many other

places of business on farm land west of Ann Arbor. Mike ran a win­ dow shade store. I knew him when he didn’t have a dime. He did have big ideas, but never got anywhere with them. I first talked to him when he put up a sun blind in our patio. He told me then about a piece of land that he wanted to buy, but his bank would not loan him the money. Some big shot at the bank said that Ann Arbor was grow­ ing north and south, not east and west. I told Mike to forget about what the big shot told him. I handed him a copy of a lecture I had prepared on releasing Astral Power. Mike found a way to buy the land. It was not long before & paved road from the University of Michigan Football Stadium passed right through his land, as a cut-off to help prevent traffic jams. This was the first return on his investment. What an ideal set-up—a shopping center could be built on one side of this road and an apartment complex on the other side. He kept using my formula, drawing on Astral Power. Today, the developed property looks just like the image he had in his mind. Who do you suppose put that image in his brain? Why, the Astral Helpers, of course. Today the street that was once a cut-off from a football field, running through farm land, is now a busy street passing by a large shopping center and apartment complex. I do not see Mike very often any more, but I do know that he ran $5,000 up to over 100 million. One of Mike’s favorite stories is about the bank “big shot” who turned him down when he asked for a loan. If I were Mike, I would buy the bank and start teaching all the employees how to release Astral Power. My mother is probably the worst example I can think of on how not to get on in the world. My brother often said, “ Mother is against everything.” He was about 90 percent correct. I remember hearing my mother relate that Henry Ford's sister lived right next door to our house in Ann Arbor. She frequently saw Henry drive up to his sister’s house in his first car. Mother would say, “ I can see him now in his duster and cap.” Henry was having trouble getting anyone to back him financially. His sister asked my mother to help out—$500 would have been a great help. Well, I do not need to tell you any of the ridiculous arguments my mother had against helping Henry Ford. Suffice it to say, she did not invest a penny. Later, Henry Ford made all of those early in­ vestors millionaires. Many years later Henry Ford liked to wander around his Green­ field Village, a most impressive view of early American history. I had

How Astral Power Can Bring You a Great New Life

25

a chance to talk to him one day. My first impression was that he was just an ordinary fellow like you and me. As I talked to him about his life ambitions, I could clearly see my formula for releasing Astral Power at work. His Astral Helpers were many, coming up with production line techniques and an automobile for the common man. Henry Ford was truly an ordinary man. There is a story about his secretaries providing him with $500 to $1,000 cash every day. He would stick it in his pocket but seldom spend any of it. His wife would later find many thousands of dollars stuck in bureau drawers, the result of his emptying his pockets every night. He was not hiding the money. He was simply getting rid of it. If Mother had been able to release her inner self, the Astral Helpers would have produced a projected picture of the Ford Com­ pany as it exists today. She would have considered herself lucky to know Ford’s sister. Knowing Mother, I expect to be choked after she reads these words just as did when we gave her piano to a church after she passed to Spirit. On the other hand, I would like to believe that she knows better now and would endorse my book if alive today. Extrasensory Perception—One Way to Receive Valuable Information Everyone has psychic power that comes to them through various sensations of the body and thoughts of the mind. Perhaps you have felt the invisible presence of a person or the sensation of visiting a dis­ tant place, heard a voice, dreamed a vivid dream that came true, or felt a strong urge to do something that later proved correct. Extrasensory perception is but one of the many ways the inner self receives information. None of these perceptions are basically physical. You must become aware of the fact that you should not deny perceptions just because they are not of a physical nature. The inner self knows its relationship with the Astral World of seven dimensions, not just two physical ones. Please let me now make a very important point concerning perceptions. If you gave a brassiere to a native girl in darkest Africa—a girl who has never worn anything but a “g” string, what would she do with it? In our environment, we all have a physical perception of what a brassiere is used for. The native girl may well develop a different physical perception of a brassiere. She may put it around her waistline and use the “ D ” cups for pockets.

26

How Astral Power Can Bring You a Great New Life

The Nature of Perceptions Coming From the Inner Self The point that I am making is that you do not fully realize that it is your thoughts, ideas and feelings that form physical reality. If you do not believe that thoughts, ideas and feelings form your physical reality, you will feel that you cannot change them. You look at your bank balance and see that it is $55.15. How can you possibly change it to $55,150? You look in the mirror and see a person 100 pounds overweight, so you come to the conclusion that you cannot change this physical perception. You do not give up smoking for the same reason—or you continue on the same old job that is getting you nowhere. You have physical perceptions of all of life’s activities, plans, philosophies, health, success, etc., so you come to the conclusion that they cannot be changed. You need to become aware of the fact that all perceptions, thoughts, ideas, feelings and emotions are mental, and that it is only through materialization that you make them physical. All Great New Things, Actions or Methods Come From the Astral World The inner self that I am making you understand does not follow the laws of physics or the principles set up by man. It does not behave as though everything is physical. Your inner selfs perceptions are acts and events that are mental. Also, your inner selfs perceptions are not dependent upon time or space as you believe it to be. Would we have ever had the telephone, radio, television, X-rays, space travel, automobile, or you name it, if we had depended upon physical perceptions as most people use them? The first reaction of all people to our inventions is that the inventors are “ kooks.” Thomas Edison and many others openly admitted that their ideas came from the Astral World. Our Astral Helpers feed these thought plans to us when we are ready to receive them. There are thought patterns waiting for you to receive just as soon as you release the Astral Power of your inner self. Tuning Your Mind and Body to Astra! Power Easily Accomplished I cannot stress too greatly the need to know how best to tune your body and mind to Astral Power. Your inner self is ready with all

the lines of communication necessary to develop awareness and receive power from all seven levels or dimensions of the Astral World. But you must know the physical, emotional and mental forces that block the Astral Helpers from getting that power to you. I have helped thousands of people throughout the United States and Canada achieve a full release of their powers. I have also found that the chief block is negative thinking and negative emotional ex­ pression. What good does it do to wire a house for every type of electrical device and not provide positive switches so that the current can be turned on? Many people are literally hanging onto a ledge of a cliff with nothing but disturbing emotions, thoughts and feelings that can only lead to destruction below. The Phil and Mary Miracle— I Kept My Promise to Them and I Will Keep My Promise to You Every day, thousands of babies come into the world to become a part of psycho-physical environments that represent various degrees of desirability. This point was brought forcefully to my attention as I talked to Phil. He was approaching a crisis in his life. “If I could go home from your office, Doctor, and tell my wife I really love her, I know that many of my problems would be solved,” said Phil. “ But,” he continued, “ I can’t do it. I respect her. She is a wonderful woman, but during the past ten years, I have lost any love I might have had for her, “I have four fine children and another will be born in a couple of months. At about the same time, I will lose my job,” Phil continued. “What are your plans for the future?” , I asked. “ Well, I have told her that I will stay with her until after the birth of my child. Then I intend leaving her. I just can’t take it any longer,” Phil answered. Several days later, I talked to Phil’s wife. As she told me her ver­ sion of the story, she cried continuously. “If he would only stay with me, that is all I ask. I don’t care whether he loves me or not. I want to take care of him and my children. I want to be a good wife and mother. I know that I will not do anything desperate if he leaves me for I have my religion, God just can’t let me down,” and so Mary sobbingly told her story. I could appreciate how both Phil and Mary felt, but I kept think­ ing of the unborn child, the baby and the other children. How would all this affect them? I knew the answer. It was not pleasant to con­ template.

Let’s add up the score. Fifteen years of married life brought five children. So far so good—but now the husband and wife are at the parting of the ways. Mary is becoming very nervous and overweight, and she smokes too much. Her health is deteriorating. For some time, Phil has been floundering from one job to another. If he leaves his wife, he will have to support her and the children. He will not be able to find happiness in a new marriage because of his financial obligations to Mary. She will have to raise the children without the help of a father. Because of her present physical and emotional con­ dition, it is doubtful she can maintain adequate control of herself. But perhaps the most disastrous result of this state of affairs will be the negative conditioning that will be perpetuated in the minds of the children. As they grow up in this undesirable environment, what chances will they have of learning to adjust to marriage, occupations, and even to life itself? I hope that none of you will let a physical perception “They can’t be helped” slip into your mind. Do I hear someone say, “ It will take a miracle”? So, one miracle coming up!! Phil and Mary solved this problem with the help of Astral Power. They developed a love and understanding that made for a nearly perfect marriage. Phil is now president of a company that makes paper balers. How To Begin and End Your Day Just as the beginning and ending of a life are high points in the time of an individual, so is the beginning and ending of a day in your life. I have discovered two important excercises which, if performed regularly, will remove stubborn barriers to progress and open up new avenues of achievement in your life. Before going to sleep and after you have relaxed your mind and body, carefully review the events and actions of the day. Let your mind travel slowly backward through all activities, motivations, emotions and thoughts of the day. Remember your negative reactions and thoughts as well as your positive functions of the day. Look for the unbalancing parts of your day. Notice carefully all of the activities showing understanding and good adjustments. End this review with a careful evaluation of failure and achievement. Do not let emotions associated with condemnation or pride enter the picture. This review, if carried out regularly every night, will work miracles in your character. It is extremely valuable.

You are now ready for your regular nightly affirmation during which time you build images of your going through tomorrow and days to come, moving toward your goals in every phase of your life. As mentioned before, your affirmations will vary nightly as your emphasis is placed on various phases of your life. Affirmations Set the Wheels of Progress in Motion It is always best for you to form images and use words to your own liking. Canned affirmations may not always completely fit your situation. However, I will give you affirmations that I myself use. Remember, picture-images as well as words must be used. “Continuing now and for days and years to come, I am moving toward my cherished goals. My life is becoming rich with hap­ piness, a better economic condition and full contentment. Every action, enterprise or endeavor in which I wish to be involved is bringing increasing rewards. Life is making its joys and hap­ piness easier to come by. Good fortune is coming my way more and more frequently. I am learning how to share my good for­ tune by helping others along the way. I am truly moving closer to oneness with God and full release of my inner self.” Many Benefits From Affirmations Are Yours There is no better way to clear the decks for action, ridding your mind of negative, wasted thoughts, disturbing emotions or ex­ hausting inhibitions, than through this first exercise. It cancels the “ hell” in your life and builds up your conscience so that it will be dif­ ficult to go wrong, but much easier to keep on the right track. Your sleep will be deeper. You will wake up more refreshed, and will create a better environment for your mind to gain understanding and inspiration that restful sleep can bring. You have often heard the expression “ Let me sleep on it.” No good can come from “sleeping on it” unless the decks are cleared, so that your Astral Helpers can get through to you. Deep, relaxed sleep will do the trick. Filling the Gap of Consciousness is Very Important The second important exercise must take place at the very mo­ ment you awaken. There is nothing important enough to make you say that you do not have time—take time. After awakening, you should try to remember your dreams and

How Astral Power Can Bring You a Great New Life

everything that happened during the night. Remember and write down all that happened, no matter how trivial you may consider it. With practice, you will find extremely valuable ideas and in­ spirations, even precognitions of things to happen in your business or other life activities. Your Astral Helpers can really get through to you during deep relaxed sleep—sleep from all the negative, emotionally toned wasteland of previous days. It may be valuable for you to keep paper and a pencil handy so that if you awake during the night with valuable information at the conscious level, you can write all this down. With these two exercises, you have an unbroken chain of con­ sciousness for each 24 hours. The evening and morning review will make it much easier to develop higher aspirations and achievements in your work activities, home life and every activity or phase of liv­ ing. You will begin at once to move toward oneness with the Astral World and God. Your Astral Helpers will bring you first-hand knowledge of the secrets of the universe. Your Astral Power will be at its highest point.

I received this note September 16. We had a little over a month to repair all the damage. Please remember that Duane was not told that we would help him. On October 28, Duane's doctor was very much surprised to find that Duane could go back to work. The point that I wish to make in citing this interesting case study is that you with your Astral Helpers can not only bring health, hap­ piness and prosperity into your life but into the lives of very dear friends without their knowing about it. The Man Who Shook His Head in Disbelief Fred always starts shaking his head every time I meet him on the street. He still states that he does not believe it, but Fred knows that it is true. His bank balance tells him so. What force do you suppose made Fred dial that wrong number? Why, Astral Power, of course. His Astral Helpers made his finger slip. Shortly before this happened, Fred started following my system. All he was asking for was a better life with more financial rewards and a place under the sun where he would be recognized as a man of fame and fortune. After Fred’s Astral Helpers got him to dial the wrong number, their next problem was to keep the conversation going. Ordinarily, when you find that you have dialed the wrong number, you excuse yourself and hang up. A man’s voice at the other end of the line said, “ United Business Associates.” “Oh, I must have the wrong number. I was calling my bank.” “ You sound like a knowledgeable man: we are having trouble locating an attorney who is willing to take a chance on making a lot of money.” “ Why, I am an attorney. Where is your office?” said Fred. To make a long story short, an inventor of a device for the com­ puter field was having trouble getting started. His organization needed an attorney willing to trade stock in the company. Fred took that chance because his Astral Helpers told him to do so. Today his name is well known in the computer field and his bank balance is well known to quite a number of bankers.

How to Test Your Astral Helpers Every time I look at “To Tell the Truth” on television, I have fun trying to outguess my Astral Helpers. You know the program. There are four judges who try to determine the one out of three persons who claim to be an author of a book, winner of a contest, or some other person of note. I miss the correct ones just as the panel does, but my Astral Helpers never miss. Their batting average is 100 percent. When you learn to call up your Astral Helpers you can use this test to help make sure that you are in direct contact with one or more Astral Helpers. Try it on “Treasure Hunt” also. How easy it would be to pick the box with all the prizes in it. Later, I will tell you about some who have won as much as $25,000. A Million Dollars For a 50-Cent Ticket Freda was really down in the dumps when I first saw her. She had five children to feed and clothe. Her husband did not seem to be able to make much more than a hundred or so dollars a week. Out of his meager income, he spent a dollar each week on the state lottery. Freda showed me one ticket that she bought the day before. “ Let’s get to work,” I said. I put her through my ritual and told her to keep it up until the drawing. “Would it help if I went to church every day and followed your formula?” Freda asked. “ Sure—good idea.” Two weeks later, she won a million dollars. I Will Give You My Complete Plan For Using Astral Power It often happens that people come to me with one problem, only to have several other problems handled successfully. Such was the case of Hilda. I helped save her marriage. I also told her how she could get many other benefits from my system of Astral Power Release. She answered the door of her apartment one night to be con­

fronted with what might have been robbery and rape. She was fully protected by my Astral Power Security Plan. As the man started to force his way into the apartment, an intense flash of white light barred his way. He fled for his life and probably reformed that very minute. Astral Helpers Work Hard to Get Through to You Walter never intended to stop at the small town on his way to a Chicago business trip. I knew about the trip, for I was helping him succeed in his business. While he was telling me about his background one day, he hap­ pened to mention that he had lost track of his sister. He often wished that he could locate her. If you had asked Walter why he stopped at one small town on the way to Chicago and consulted a telephone book, he could never have given a good reason. He found himself looking up a number. Why the name Helen Powell? If she was married, how would he know her last name? Who put the name Powell into his mind? Why, the Astral Helpers, of course. One call, and a brother and sister were reunited, after over ten years of wondering where each one was. I Will Not Put My Name to a Lie I am not going to tell you that all you have to do is repeat a few lines and money will start pouring in from nowhere. I have more respect for your intelligence; but most of all, I am proud of the fact that I hold a Ph.D. degree from one of the great universities of the world, the University of Michigan. I have proven to you that I can help you release Astral Power to gain everything that your heart desires, but you must prepare yourself to make full use of my magic formula, R-C-C. The R stands for Relaxation of the mind and body. The Reason You Become Tense There is a very good reason why so many people become tight with tension and cannot relax. The body runs on tension. You cannot raise your arm or do anything without using a certain amount of ten­ sion. The problem is to get the right amount, for too much is just too much and will not let the body and mind function properly. What

Setting the Stage Physically and Mentally

35

happens when you wind your watch too tight? It will not run, of course. You do not need to go to your local yogi, work out in a gym or health spa, or carry out any definite program, but you do need to learn to relax. Your Potential is Limitless I will continue to repeat that the potential within your inner self is limitless and that all that counts in life can be achieved if the instru­ ment we call the body is free from excessive tension and functioning somewhere near normally. Ambition, desire, truth, love, knowledge, wealth, health, human values of the finest shades and many other desirable qualities of living are then possible. However, when you are not relaxed or free from too much ten­ sion, the instrument you call your body cannot release the wondrous power from the Astral World. A nervous person is neither free to live successfully, nor to enjoy health, wealth or happiness. Fear, defensive mechanisms, anxiety, suspicion, and hate, among other negative forces, are always with them. It is a struggle to even stay alive. Nina’s Thirty Doctors Gave Up Let me tell you about Nina. Her imaginary physical troubles started 30 years before I first saw her. Her first serious round with medical doctors and hospitals started with an appendectomy and hysterectomy. A year later, the doctors wanted to remove her gall bladder, but she refused to permit this operation. She finally had her gall duct drained. She seemed better for almost a year, but more trou­ ble ensued and she finally consented to have her gall bladder removed. She never fully recovered her health after this operation. Her condition worsened and the two years before I saw her were spent in bed for most of the time. She endured one series of treatments after another. Finally, the last physician (she had over 30 in all) called her husband and told him that he could not take his money any longer—that there was nothing medical science could do for her. This physician referred her to me. I hesitated before accepting her case because it appeared that irreversi­ ble conditions had set in. It looked very much like over 30 doctors had ruined the instrument she called her body. It was apparent that none of those operations or medical treatments were necessary or did her any good.

Nina came from a rather large family. Her parents were farmers. Apparently, her father was a heavy drinker and strong disciplinarian. The children were afraid of him. Nina’s first marriage turned out rather badly and she finally divorced her husband. She earned her own living for a few years, working in a factory, and then remarried. Although the second marriage may now be regarded as satisfactory, it started out rather badly. Medical treatments designed to relieve pain were continued by her physician for a short time. The reverberating nerve circuits were surely running at an increasing rate and spreading to every part of her body. She could not control her thoughts. Normal sensations throughout her body were the exception rather than the rule. She was in constant pain from tension in nearly every part of her body. She could not sleep. How she managed to keep going at all is still somewhat of a mystery. Nina Finds Astra! Power and Health Now, let me ask you a question: What earthly good would it have done for Nina to repeat a command or offer a prayer in her con­ dition? The answer is obvious—no good. She had made the rounds of healers. She prayed to God every day for help that never came. She was never healed by the healers and help never came until she made use of my magic formula R-C-C, Tension will not only kill you, but it will make your instrument, the body, of little value in picking up Astral Power. Nina, today, is enjoying normal emotional and physical health. She has regained what may be regarded as good health and emotional control. The Advertising Man Who Could Not Swallow Albert Campbell’s physician called me one Saturday afternoon and requested that I come to neighboring city to see what I could do for Albert. He had been hospitalized because of coronary throm­ bosis. Mr. Campbell was being fed through a tube since he could not swallow. His physician believed that the coronary thrombosis had not affected the nerves controlling the esophagus. Mr. Campbell was an advertising man. It was evident that he had built up many resentments and hostility patterns. There were many situations in life that he could not “swallow.” His esophagus neurosis was the end result. This difficulty, sometimes referred to as

Setting the Stage Physically and Mentally

37

cardiospasm, appears when an emotional block becomes apparent. Sexual, hostile, or self-punishment emotions are generally present. This was true in Albert’s case. Through my magic formula, R-C-C, Albert very soon got over his difficulties. The cases I have presented have been those where tension is very obvious. Of course, there are many cases when tension has not produced the disastrous conditions presented here. My files are filled with hundreds of other cases indicating what tension does to the body and mind. Tension Blacks Out Positive Action Tension reduces or eliminates the positive functioning of the physical body. It makes you a slave to all that is negative. You can­ not develop the higher sense of values made possible by the delicate mechanisms of the brain. You cannot make choices. Your mind is not a positive law unto itself. If no proper homeostatic action takes place, inner tension mounts and mounts. The reverberating circuits will run at an ever increasing rate until every part of the nervous system is subject to their negative will. If the danger signals keep breaking through to the autonomic nervous system, you develop stomach ulcers, spastic colitis, heart trouble, malfunctioning of sex and other glands and many other psychosomatic difficulties too numerous to list. The symptoms of tension may be confined to your central ner­ vous system and be reflected in your involuntary thoughts and ac­ tions. It may reduce your confidence, make you indecisive, create restlessness, result in continuous anxiety and worry, make you oversensitive, result in continuous meaningless thoughts running through your mind, create boredom, make you lose interest, result in strange and peculiar thoughts, make you touchy on many subjects, or cause a dead center so that you cannot get going. You go on and complete the list. Don’t forget to include your own tensions. Tension is man’s worst enemy. It is the fundamental cause of every deviation from normal living and the basic cause of all psy­ chosomatic illness. It is the cause of unhappy marriages, makes mil­ lions fail or not do their best on their jobs, and motivates crime and delinquency. It can put you in a mental hospital. Tension enslaves every phase of your life, making it difficult for the most powerful force in the universe, Astral Power, to get through to you. But Astral Power can get through in all but a very few cases where the person is more dead than alive.

Don’t Keep Kidding Yourself Concerning Tension “But I’m not tense,” said one of my patients recently, as he con­ tinuously brushed imaginary dust—or was it dandruff—off his suit and the desk, wiggled continuously in his chair and smoked one cigarette after another. “Of course, I cannot sleep at night and thoughts run through my mind continuously. I do some of my best thinking at night. When it is time to get up in the morning, I find that I cannot decide to put the product of my thinking to work. But I’m not tense. Of course, I have to sit in a hot tub of water every morning to get the pain out of my back. I don’t like my job, but I cannot make up my mind to leave it. I don’t get along with my father. I cannot make up my mind whom I should marry. If a girl shows too much in­ terest in me, I make plans to drop her. But I’m not tense. I can relax my mind and body.” Fulfilling the First Part of the Secret Formula It should be quite obvious that to fulfill the first part of the magic formula—-relaxation—something more than merely lying down and resting, or “making up your mind” or “thinking and grow­ ing rich” is necessary. I surely have convinced you that negative emotional states controlled by the involuntary nervous system are the forces which prevent getting the most out of life. It is an established fact that all emotions have their fullest sway when the activities of the external brain are at their lowest ebb. Under hypnosis, there is a deep relaxation of the body, free play of the emotions and almost complete surrender of the directions or con­ trol of the thought processes. Natural sleep produces the same condi­ tion to a lesser degree. My secret formula, R-C-C, does not make use of hypnosis, but a similar state of mind and body must be produced. Since the goal of R-C-C is conscious control and full release of Astral Power, hypnosis does not produce the exacting conditions necessary to reach this goal. There have been many books written on how to relax. All of them make the same fundamental mistake. The authors of these books ask you to use a system that requires you to surrender volun­ tary attention, but at the same time increase attention on the results you wish to achieve. This is a type of mental gymnastics that no one could possibly do. Here is just one example: bend each foot, first toward and then away from you while your legs remain flat on the

Setting the Stage Physically and Mentally

39

bed—or bend your hands toward you, one at a time, while keeping your arms flat. I have promised you that there will be no long, drawn-out method of learning to relax. I intend to keep that promise. However, I want you to spend a little more time than is eventually necessary to set the whole process in motion. This is the way you do it. Fulfilling the First Part of the Secret Formula Lie on your back with no pillow under your head. Your arms and legs should be straight, legs never crossed. Your arms should be resting beside your thighs. Lie this way for a minute or two, always keeping your eyes closed during the exercise. Ease thoughts out of your mind and let your attention be pas­ sively concerned with the general purpose of the exercise. You will notice that I stated that you should ease thoughts out of your mind. This is easier said than done. If your attention is at too high a level, and you try to force them out of your mind, you will find the thoughts rather stubborn. They will refuse to move. Learning to ease thoughts out of your mind is important in carrying out the second step of the magic formula—concentration. Learn to Breathe Properly Now, check your breathing to make certain that you are breathing very deeply and slowly. Ideally, you should complete just six breathing cycles a minute. Practice this breathing exercise until you get it down to three a minute, while preparing your body and mind for full release of the Astral Power. Do not suck in air rapidly, expand your chest or raise your shoulders. Do not blow out air, but release it slowly. What I mean by deep breathing is to take air in very slowly, keep inhaling a moment or two after you think you have all the air your lungs will hold. Then, exhale very slowly; keep pushing air out for a moment or two after you believe that your lungs are empty. This is what I call relaxed breathing. Too many people just breathe off the top of their lungs. After you establish deep breathing, you will find that this process alone will help keep you relaxed all day. I am taking you through a special exercise to help you relax. The time will come when you will be able to let go on a moment’s notice or, better yet, keep relaxed all day long. Now let us continue the ex­ ercise.

40

Setting the Stage Physically and Mentally

Learning to Concentrate Keep easing thoughts out of your mind and passively attend to the task at hand. Now think of your toes and feet as relaxed. Through your mind, let go of these muscles. In an easy manner, put your attention on your ankles. Now you are introducing the factor of imagination. Imagine that you can see the muscles of your legs. Beginning with your ankles, slowly follow or trace the muscles that control your legs up to your thighs. Imagine that you can see the muscles that control your legs sticking out of your thighs. Mentally grab hold of the ends of the muscles and imagine that you are pulling them up very tightly. At this point, you are conscious of tightness or tension in the leg muscles. You are mentally putting them under load. Hold them tight and take a deep breath. As you exhale, imagine you see your legs dropping off. Then let go of all consciousness of your legs and turn your attention to your hands. Think of your fingers as relaxed and let go of your fingers and hands. Lightly center your attention on your wrists. Imagine you can trace the muscles up your arms into your shoulders, and visualize these muscles through your imagination as sticking out of your shoulders. Mentally grab hold of these arm muscles and pull them up tight. See them in your mind as under load. Take another deep breath and, as you exhale, imagine that you see your arms dropping off. Let go of them and turn your attention to the muscles in your abdomen. It is easier to relax your legs and arms than any other part of your body, so the exercise becomes a little more difficult from now on. Your attention is now on your abdomen. Think of the muscles of your abdomen as relaxed. Let go of them. Move your attention up to your chest and repeat the process as you continue to breathe deeply and slowly. After a little experience, you should begin at this point to feel rather light. A drifting feeling should be coming into your mind. Now spotlight your attention up and down your back from your thighs to the back of your neck and let go of these muscles. You should keep easing thoughts out of your mind and let this comfor­ table, drifting feeling come in. As you let go of your body, you are less and less conscious of it. Let your jaw go limp. Relax your cheeks, mentally smooth out the muscles of your forehead and scalp. As you learn to let go of your body and ease thoughts out of your mind, you are learning to concentrate—the second step in my magic formula.

Learning to Use Your Imagination Now put your attention on your eyes. Remember, your closed eyes have been visualizing this whole process. Now let the visualiza­ tion of your eyes sense a moment out in space. Through your im­ agination, let a mental image of some pleasant scene come into your mind. Your attention is no longer on your body or your present sur­ roundings. It makes no difference what the elements of the scene are, so long as the scene is the product of your imagination. Now repeat to yourself; “ I am lying here relaxed and breathing deeply. I am on a mountain top. The sun is shining brightly. Everything is peaceful and serene. I am lying in the shade in tall soft grass in front of a beautiful mountain lodge. The lodge is made out of logs. The brown logs are in sharp contrast to the green of the pine, fir and spruce trees. These trees are tail and stately and a cool, refreshing breeze causes them to sway slightly. This breeze is bringing the beautiful smell from the pine trees and it makes me feel fresh, rested and relaxed. “In the distance, I see mountain lakes, the surfaces of which are as smooth as glass. As I look at the lakes, my mind becomes peaceful and quiet like the surface of the water. My mind is becoming more and more relaxed and a drifting feeling is increasing. Now, I am look­ ing at the beautiful blue sky above. I see billowy white clouds lazily drift by. Everything is becoming more and more peaceful and serene. I am feeling a oneness with God and the total universe.” Mental Action Images Extremely Important I have illustrated what is meant by a mental-action image. As you become expert in forming these images, you will become more conscious of the emotional tone associated with the image. Years ago, I woke up during a rather dull psychological lecture to hear the professor say, “Ideas tend to work their way out into ac­ tion.” Since the professor told us at the beginning of the course that all we would get out of it was two hours credit, I was a little shocked, for this one concept made the course very much worthwhile. The body will reflect what is going on in the mind; things first happen in your mind before they become reality. I have just told you about a woman who spent 50 cents for a lottery ticket that won her one million dollars; she stated that she knew she was going to win and win she did.

42

Setting the Stage Physically and Mentally

I have already made it clear that there is no limitation in time and space as far as your creative power or power to change yourself is concerned. I have called your attention to the fact that the only limitation occurs in your thinking. You keep putting mental-action images in your mind o f what you want your life to be like and your mind will make it possible for you to materialize these images into physical reality. Your Mind Should Be Wishing at All Times Your mind should always be wishing and your whole objective should be to try to realize your wishes in fact. All your goals, all the things you seek to do or be, whether negative or positive, are the products of your imagination. As you move toward your goals, im­ agination gives way to reality. Yet, I have written thousands of reports on people who never imagine anything for themselves. The men get a job; the women get married. Years later, you will find the men on the same unskilled labor job while the women have grown fat and unattractive. Union leaders tell them to strike and they strike. It never occurs to them to work toward higher level jobs that will automatically bring in more money, security and satisfaction. When Henry Ford imagined that he could produce a good lowpriced automobile, people said it could not be done. When he im­ agined that he could pay unskilled workers five dollars a day, they were sure he was crazy. The common perception of wages at that time was about two dollars a day. National Cash Register Company failed to recognize the out­ standing ability of a number of their employees who moved on to become millionaires and top executives. Kettering was one of those men. He rented an old barn and went to work on a self-starter for automobiles. The physical perception of the problem was that it was impractical to put a large enough battery in a car that would turn over the engine and start the car. Many thought that it could not be done. Kettering did it. His imaginary goal was so strongly fortified by a positive emotional tone that failure after failure did not stop him. The Astral Helpers finally got through. Magic Formula Explained The cardinal principle of my magic formula is conscious relaxing of the instrument called body, concentrating on mental-action im­

ages that will open up all Astral Power channels and contemplating oneness with God and the whole Astral World; then you may live a truly fulfilled life as God intended you to do. It is only then that wealth, health and happiness can be yours. The Big Difference Between My System and Others All the systems of self-help in print today end up by teaching you to relax, think positively and have faith that God will help you. In other words, they all keep you on the first two levels or dimensions of the universe. They do not even tell you anything about the other five levels. I want you to experience the power that can come from all seven dimensions of the universe. I want you to know where they are. I want you to visit any or all of these seven levels at any time you wish. I want to expand your consciousness so that you know the universe and your relationship to it. Where Is the Astral World? I sincerely hope that you are not one of the great majority who believe that when you die, your soul goes to some far-off place called heaven or hell, and that “never the twain shall meet.” Don’t ever get the idea that they are going to roll out the red carpet for you and per­ sonally escort you to the throne of God. As an actual fact, when you die, you do not go anywhere. All that happens is that your Astral Body leaves your physical body. Your Astral Body enters your physical body at birth, giving you life that would not exist without it. The seven levels or dimensions of this earth plane are right here. They are just differences in frequencies or vibrations. If you can un­ derstand that the telephone company can send many messages over the same wire at the same time, then you can understand the nature of the Astral World. Many different stations come in over your radio and television. They operate under different frequencies. Some day, a great inventor is going to develop a TV with high enough vibrations or frequencies to tune in all of the Astral World. What a great day that will be!! Your Astral Body Can Come and Go From Your Physical Body There are authorities who claim that we never leave the upper

Astral World to return to the physical level. They tell us that every night when we sleep, our Astral Body returns to its more familiar sur­ roundings, friends and even duties. You can learn more about what your Astral Body does while you are asleep by carefully remembering your dreams. You will remember that I called your attention at the end of Chapter 1 to the need to fill the gap of consciousness. Dreams are a dead giveaway of the secret life of your inner self. So why don’t you resolve right this very minute to become better acquainted with the total universe and the God within you? It is unfortunate that so many people regard departed souls as ghosts—something undesirable and to be afraid of. As an actual fact, there are hundreds of spirits all around you this very minute. They are probably not paying any more attention to you than you are to them. Getting Your First Proof of the Spirit World For a moment, look out a window and concentrate on what you believe to be an empty space. If you could see, hear and apply all your senses to all levels of the Astral World, you would be aware of a great deal of activity in that empty space and all space. You can easily get a little better idea of the activity above the physical plane by carrying out the following exercise. Get as relaxed as you can and concentrate on any space out in the open. Just keep looking as though you were seeing something. Space anywhere will soon be filled with silver streaks. These silver streaks are left by the spirits as they fly or move rapidly about the Astral World. Some of them will be your helpers very soon. You may have to repeat this exercise a few times, but do not give up. Keep at it until you see these silver streaks. To me it is quite a beautiful sight as I drive down the street on a foggy morning to see thousands of silver streaks darting in all directions. I know that my friends are all around me. The Astral World is but a narrow band around the earth. All seven dimensions can coexist in the same area. This may be a little difficult for you to understand. You do know that all frequencies put out by a radio or TV station occupy the same space. Our spirit friends operate on a different frequency—the higher the frequency, the more advanced these spirits are. On the physical level, our fre­ quencies are low. You are learning to not only release Astral Power, but you will learn to identify your Astral Helpers—so take an inventory of your childish beliefs and get rid of them right now.

3. Instant Contact With The Astral Help ers Through Psychic Space Travel Helps You Gain Astral Power This may well be one of the most exciting chapters of my book. I have done an average amount of earth travel, but psychic space travel is really something else. Psychic Space Travel An Exciting Adventure In one way, even more exciting is psychic space travel around the physical world. It is so easy to go instantly to any part of the world—London, Paris, Tokyo—you name it. One of my most ex­ citing trips was to London to see the play concerning the last five days in the life of Marilyn Monroe. Who do you suppose accom­ panied me on that trip? Why, none other than Norma Jean herself. She is here by my side as I write these lines. Russia is now using psychic space travel to collect “intelligence” from all over the world. In the future, our government will have to do better than simply stamping “top secret” on its documents and lock­ ing them up. Russian space spies will not be stopped by any physical devices—yet our government is not spending a dime on psychic research. Boredom Relieved By Astral Projection Helen’s co-workers never could understand why she always went into the rest room during her coffee breaks and “took a nap.” Helen was not about to tell her friends that she was far, far away—that only her physical body was in the rest room. 45

Instant Contact Through Psychic Space Travel

Helen relieved the boredom of her job by taking shopping trips or just visiting some far-off place. While on shopping trips, if she saw something that she wanted, she would call the store and have them hold it for her, mail it to her, or deliver it, depending on how far away the store happened to be. It goes without saying that clerks were often amazed by the girl who asked them to deliver an article when they knew that she had not been in the store. However, they usually just shrugged their shoulders and dismissed their curiosity concerning the deal. “ Did you have a nice nap?” her co-workers would ask when she reappeared. “Wonderful. I feel greatly refreshed,” Helen would reply—and that was the truth. Real Estate Broker Keeps on Running His Business While in Prison I told Henry that he was headed for trouble if he did not mend his illegal ways, but he would not listen—so he got five to ten years for his fraudulent dealings. Henry wrote me a letter and wanted me to visit him soon. I dis­ covered then that he did remember some of the things that I had told him. He wanted to learn all about Astral Projection. He had figured out that he could get out of prison and help his wife carry on his real estate business. So far as I know, there is no law that states that the Astral Body cannot leave a prison cell. In fact, it would be a law that could not be enforced if there was one. His wife had a real estate broker’s license also, so she could carry on without her husband’s physical presence. Henry and his wife, Clara, both learned how easy it was to engage in psychic space travel. The prison guards wondered why Henry spent all his spare time “sleeping.” They did not know that his Astral Body was up and away finding buyers and sellers for choice pieces of property. Other real estate brokers did not resent Clara’s sudden out­ standing success in the real estate field. They felt sorry for her because her husband was serving time. Actually, he was making bet­ ter use of his time than he ever had before. I talked to Henry shortly after he was released from prison. I was not surprised to learn that he intended continuing his astral trips. They got him into places that he surely would not have been able to get into as a physical person. Anyway, it would be some time before he could get his license back.

“Who was it who said ‘four walls do not a prison make’?” Henry asked as he waved good-bye. Business Conferences Via Astral Projection Donald and Winston were business associates who discovered how vitally important Astral Projection could be in helping them build their fortune and make all their dreams come true. These two men were together because they made a good team. Each one contributed a vital part to the success of the whole organization. Each was a highly specialized person who needed the other. Until they learned psychic space travel, they depended upon the telephone or quick trips to a mutual convenient place for a con­ ference. Now, Astral space travel saves them the expense of telephone calls or the time and expense of traveling by car or by air to hold their conferences. Regardless of where they may be, they can meet back at their headquarters where all the material they need is available and com­ plete understanding can be easily obtained. There is no energy shor­ tage in the Astral World. How Astral Travel Saved a Business From Failing I watched Andrew climb the occupational ladder from a factory worker to president of the General Gear Company. He did many things right, but he had one weakness—he could not delegate authority. “ Look, Andy, you are at the place where you must delegate authority. You have a bunch of supervisors and administrators around you who cannot make a decision on their own,” I said on more than one occasion. Andrew would admit that I was right, but he never did anything about it. When Andy was sick, all the top-notch employees had to visit him at home to get instructions. Whenever Andy took a vaca­ tion, he was on the phone constantly making decisions, directing and doing the things that should have been delegated years ago. One day Andrew got up, ate his breakfast and dropped dead. Everything came to a standstill at the plant. Several weeks later, Andrew’s son, Eddie, came to see me. What should he do? He knew very little about the business. The vice presi­ dents had tried to carry on as best they could—which was not good enough.

“ Eddie, you have three options: one, sell the business fast before it all slips away; two, fire all the so-called key people and build the organization up as it should have been built in the first place; three, get Andrew to help you until you can get things under control,” I said. “ But my Dad is dead. How can he help?” Eddie replied. “We will both go up and talk to him,” I answered, confusing Ed­ die still more. After assuring Eddie that I was not crazy, I explained Astral Space Travel to him. I gave him a crash course, and we took off to see Andrew. At first Andrew was not pleased to see us. He thought we had passed to spirit until we called his attention to our silver cords that were still attached to our physical bodies on the material plane. To make a long story short, Andrew helped his son until he learned enough about the business to keep it floating. I helped him get personnel who could handle the authority delegated by the son. Stock Broker Makes it Big I first knew Jerry when he was up one day and down the next. You could almost tell how much money he had lost or won on the stock market by looking at the expression on his face. One day I said to Jerry, “Why don’t you let me help you get with it? I am tired of seeing you up one day and down the next.” “How can you help me? You are not even interested in stocks, or money either, for that matter. A hell of a lot of good you could do me,” Jerry replied. “Want to bet?” I kept the conversation going. “No, it would be like taking candy from a baby,” Jerry kidded. I taught Jerry the technique of Astral travel. He now visits cor­ porations, getting first-hand knowledge of the company before in­ vesting. Through Astral travel, he can learn the exact nature of all in­ fluences that may result in the stock going up or down. He can predict how far it will go and how fast it will change. Jerry has become so successful that he is now an investment counselor. He can select a portfolio of stocks that will be a winner. Psychic Space Travel a Blessing For the Traveling Salesman There are companies who send employees to Europe or South America or on extended trips within the United States. Over the

years that I have spent working with individuals and companies, I have found many persons who gave up good selling jobs to be with their families. Clark and Betty solved this problem by Astral projection. They can be together at any chosen time anywhere or at home. Astral body lovemaking is carried on by the same method as physical lovemaking. There is no problem. Perhaps you are ahead of me on this use of psychic space travel. The wife can check up on her husband and see whether or not he was as lonely as he said he was when he returned home. You Have the Method Now 1. Lie down on a bed or couch. 2. Get as relaxed as possible. 3. Develop mental-action images of where you wish to go and time of return. 4. Raise your vibrations through contemplating oneness with God. 5. Be certain that no one will try to “wake you up” while engaging in psychic space travel. No Need to Wait For Advice From a Psychic It is unfortunate that well-known psychics give the false impres­ sion that they do not know how they do the things they do. They give you the impression that their power is a “gift from God.” I would like to put an end to that nonsense right now. You are just as much a part of God as Jean Dixon, Edgar Cayce or any of the other famous psychics. God shows no favorites. I know of one psychic who actual­ ly believed that she could give her gift to her best friend when she passed to spirit. She knows better now. Her name is Hazel Shephard and she is one of my Astral Helpers. You can tap just as much Astral Power as the best psychic the world has even known—and don’t you forget it. When an announcement of the publication of a book on psychic healing was made, the authors received over 10,000 letters asking for help. This couple also state that they do not know how they do it. This makes about as much sense as a famous baseball player, violinist, inventor, actor or other outstanding person saying that they do not know how they do it.

Peggy Fleming, the Gold Medal figure skater, will tell you that she practiced six to eight hours a day for years. That’s how she did it. Well, even if the great psychics are ignorant of the source of their power, which I doubt, I am going to tell you how I do it and how you can also. You Can Travel All Dimensions of the Astral World You will not only meet and talk to your Astral Helpers, but you will be able to contact many others. I have talked to Franklin D. Roosevelt, Benjamin Harrison, Benjamin Franklin, Bishop Pike, Stephen Foster, Jacqueline Susan, Norma Jean Baker (Marilyn Monroe), and many of my friends, relatives and teachers who are now on the spirit side of life. You can do the same. I do not want to receive 10,000 letters asking for help. I am tell­ ing you how you can help yourself to more than any psychic can do for you. When Edgar Cayce died, he was five years behind in answer­ ing his mail. Do you want to wait that long to get an answer to your problems? The type of meditation I am teaching you will open the door to the Astral World and everything your heart desires. You will be able to travel to the third and fourth levels with ease. Your Astral Helpers will guide you to the fifth, sixth and seventh levels. You will not see God, but you will talk to many of his most important helpers. You will feel the presence of God wherever you go on earth or the Astral planes. You will never hear me tell you that God is waiting for you in all His glory and then you will be free from all responsibility. Don’t look forward to living a lazy life with God. However, through space travel, you will discover the unity of your consciousness with other consciousnesses. You will discover the many faces of love and the energy that gives consciousness and life eternal to all things. God is With You Right Now It is one of my purposes in writing this book to inspire you to take a hand in the job of creating a better world as you feel the divine presence of God within you and your lived ones. I heard a minister recently say that “God says to man, ‘Hello man, follow me’, and man says to God, ‘Hello God, I will follow you.’ ” This is another illustration of the sort of childish stuff I want

you to give up for good. God is hidden in His creations, so God is what His creations are. In knowing His creations, you know God. Actually, God is with you right now. You must learn to realize this. You are learning to contact the spirits and Astral Helpers. You do not need to die to find God: you are a spirit now. All avenues of communication are open now. You can now set out to explore places and environments that are not physical. I sincerely hope that this book will increase the number of persons knocking at that invisible door. There surely is no great rush now. Ministers are still telling people about how wonderful it will be after death to meet God and all your loved ones. Spirituality Means Love, Joy and Happiness Now The spirituality that I am talking about means joy and happiness now. It means adventure surpassing anything that you have known on a physical plane. Spiritual vitality is not dependent upon the energy from your physical body or your youth. It sings and rings through the whole universe and through your entire liberated per­ sonality. There can be no real creativity without happiness and healthful living. As a boy, when my mother took me to church, I was led to believe that spirituality meant being long-faced, listening to a minister tell you how sinful you were. Spirituality is love, creativity and happiness. The First Step is to Put Your Mind in Order The first step in developing the power to live in all dimensions of the world is to put your mind in order. A housecleaning job is needed. All accumulated rubbish must go, so that nothing will stop the development of your latent powers. You must get rid of all inhibi­ tions, indecisiveness, nervousness, false values and childish beliefs about life and death. You have been learning to relax and this has greatly reduced these negative factors. Anger, worry, jealousy and fear create poison as strong as arsenic. The poison associated with all negative emotions can not only kill you but kill flowers, animals and even other humans closely associated with you. Developing true spirituality as I have described it eliminates all of these poisons. Fear and worry cannot exist when there is complete faith. Real love eliminates envy, greed, hate and anger.

At this point, it might be well for you to do a little introspecting. 1. Have you found it difficult to believe what I have written so far in this book? 2. W hat do you really believe about life and death, your personality, success and health? 3. Can you really face the truth about yourself now? 4. W hat do you really want out of this life? 5. Do you believe that overemphasis on possessive feelings produces jealousy? 6. Do you believe that too much emphasis on bodily sensations makes for selfish, self-centered gluttony? 7. Do you believe that too much emphasis on mental sensations makes you a fanatic? 8. Do you believe that too much emphasis can be placed on the spirit side of life? 9. Do you want to love deeply and unselfishly, develop under­ standing and a forgiving attitude? 10. Do you really want to balance your emotions with your aspira­ tions and set the stage for self-mastery so that you can become a link with everything in the universe?

If you wish to evolve to something better on this earth, you must use the tools that I am giving you to do so. You have heard the expression “still waters run deep” and “ silence is golden.” The truly spiritual man is silent, calm and a man of few words. Remember Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address? Remember the silence that followed that address? One of the first lessons that I learned when I was able to be near my spirit friends was that just feeling their presence was very elevating. You will find that the spirits do not talk much, but what they say is of great importance. Through Concentration, You Project Your Mind to Higher Levels By means of the meditation I am teaching you, you will learn to concentrate and project your mind straight to the third level or dimension and then on to higher dimensions of consciousness. You will bring back to the physical world all that you have learned as best you can.

You will find strength and stability of character without even be­ ing conscious of what happened to you. When I am in the presence of my grandmother, who is on the seventh level of consciousness, she does not need to say a word. She radiates everything that is good, up­ lifting, just and fulfilling. Her love permeates your whole body. The faith, that you have developed in the unknown and the divine, changes. Now you know, for you have put yourself in tune with divine reality. What the Oriental Sages Knew About Breathing Now let’s go back to the development of the instrument we call the body, so that all the wonderful things that you desire can actually happen. You breathe about 16 to 18 times a minute. In the last chapter, I asked you to get your breathing rate down to about six per minute. You should reduce your breathing during meditation to not more than ten per minute —six would be better. The Oriental sages knew all the things I am telling you about breathing. They believed that breathing properly alone was the key to prolonging youth, developing clairvoyance and gaining access to knowledge. It is true, that if you wish to control your health, wealth or success in life, you begin by learning to breathe correctly. By slowing your breathing down to ten long, deep breaths per minute, you will find it impossible to feel irritable, nervous or ex­ cited. By engaging in deep, slow, rhythmic breathing of no more than ten breaths per minute for five minutes, your brain will clear up and become ready for full application of the magic formula. If you can drop your breathing to three per minute, all the bodi­ ly activities will become very harmonized, less tense and quieted so that psychic perceptions will easily come into the mind. Your intui­ tion and inspiration faculties, the basis of all great achievements, will be greatly increased. Yogis can slow down their breathing still more, but I do not advise that you try this now. Keep your deep breathing during meditation within the range of five to ten deep, slow breaths per minute. Do not take this exercise just after eating. Also, be careful to breathe through your nose, silently, regularly and without any great effort on your part. While breathing, you should clear your mind of all negative thoughts. Concentrate on your high ideals or goals. Remember, you are breathing in more than oxygen. You are breathing in life, oneness with God and all that you aspire to be.

Setting the Stage For Meditation In Chapter 2 ,1 suggested that you relax your body in bed before reviewing your day, reciting your affirmation and then going to sleep. I suggest that you carry on your meditation during the day, either early in the morning or early evening. It is better to meditate before meals. Your meditation period should last at least thirty minutes. You may meditate twice a day if you wish. However, once a day will suffice. You should be seated in a straight chair with your feet flat on the floor and your back straight against the back of the chair. I suggest that you use a quiet room with practically all light cut off. It is best to meditate with your eyes closed. I use a blindfold to cut out all vision. After you have carried on your deep breathing for a minute or two, repeat the Lord’s Prayer or one similar to it; then ask for protec­ tion against evil forces. Say, “ God’s pure white light is protecting me from all undisciplined spirits or negative forces of any kind.” The great importance of this procedure will be fully discussed in Chapter 4. How To Raise Your Vibrations Through Concentration You are relaxed and breathing deeply. The next step is con­ centration on a mental-action image. Imagine that you see a flower garden composed of acres and acres of roses. In this garden are many different varieties of roses sending out many different vibrations to your conscious mind. Narrow the field until you concentrate on one large beautiful American Beauty rose. All the thoughts, sensations, memories and emotions aroused by imagining acres and acres of roses are slipping away as your mind becomes stilled and passive. Keep concentrating on this one rose. It stands out more and more vividly. It is becoming more and more beautiful. Now you can even see the morning dew on the petals and leaves. Now you should imagine that you see a pure white light coming out of the sky and spotlighting this beautiful rose. Your mind is filled with the goodness of living. Repeat to yourself; “ Higher vibrations, oneness with God; higher vibrations, oneness with God; higher vibrations, oneness with God.” Keep repeating these words over and over again. When you have established full concentration, meditation can

55

begin. Remember: you are learning to meditate to solve all of your life problems and difficulties, and progress toward the type of life you really want. How to Reach the Higher Levels Through Contemplation The third step in my magic formula is contemplation. You simp­ ly think in terms of oneness with God and the total Astral World. As you let the subject of contemplation speak, you become conscious of a beautiful play of colors and forms that any artist would love to materialize into physical reality. You are now ceasing to be just a puppet on a string being jerked and pushed around by people, groups or unknown forces. You are gaining control over yourself and gain­ ing the respect of higher spirit forms in the Astral World. Contacting Your First Spirit Friends a Thrill Your next step is to invite your spirit friends to identify themselves. They will do this by shining a light in your direction. You will be able to see the light or the spirits themselves with a blindfold on and in a darkened room. Their identifying lights are generally white, but may be blue or any color. The more intense the light, the higher the development of the Spirit. Eventually, you will be able to see their auras. However, at first you will probably see only an identifying light, which will come on for just a second or two. Spirits communicate through thoughts. It may be some time before you hear their voices. You will pick up their thoughts as they tell you who they are. You should make an effort to discover first the identity of your spirit guide—the spirit that has been with you constantly since birth and who will stay with you until you pass to spirit. Few people even know that they have a spirit guide. They are surprised to learn that a spirit tags along with them everywhere. How to Apply For a Master Teacher After you have contacted several spirits and have been able to raise your vibrations more easily, it is time to make application for one or more master teachers. I asked my present master teacher, Ralph Taylor, a blacksmith who lived in Boston during the American Revolutionary period, how to apply. He stated that you should ad­ dress your request to the “ Hall of Master Teachers.” Simply form the

56

Instant Contact Through Psychic Space Travel

following thoughts in your mind during your meditation period: “ It is my earnest desire to learn more about the Astral World. I request that I be assigned a master teacher.” While you are repeating this request several times, form a mental-action image of an “ upper room” with a table and chairs. See your spirit guide at the head of the table and several other spirits seated around the table. You are projecting an image of your master teacher-to-be and some of your Astral Helpers-to-be. You should keep repeating this request with the suggested mental-action image. The time will come when a team of three master teachers will appear. The leader of the group will get you started. They may even put on a little ceremony as they did with me. Even­ tually, one of the three master teachers will be assigned to you. My master teacher comes in every evening at 6:45 and spends the evening with us. He likes television and the atmosphere of home life. If I travel to another city to attend meetings or give talks, he goes with me. Every night after I retire, he carries on the training program best suited for my needs. Your program will depend very largely upon your goals and what you wish to do with the Astral power now at your command. You must remember that complete faith is necessary to open the doors to the spirit world. Meditating once or twice will get you nowhere. You must settle down to a program and carry it through faithfully day after day. It is then that things will start happening and you will find that your efforts have not been in vain. The night that my team of master teachers came in and I saw them clearly was the most thrilling time of my life. When you are ready, your master teacher will appear. Things You Need to Know Before You Travel the Astral Route In Chapter 1, I called your attention to the fact that you have physical perceptions of all of life’s activities, plans, philosophies, health, success, etc. You now believe that you are solid and that everything around you is solid. It is difficult for you to believe that anything you cannot see or feel is solid. Actually, solidity is relative. It is nearer the truth to say that nothing is solid. For travellers on the Astral Plane, the scenery and everything connected with it seems to be as solid as most physical material. On my first trip, it was difficult to believe that I could touch the spirits and they felt just as solid as a person on the physical plane. Of course, it was my Astral hands doing the touching. It can therefore be stated

57

that the Astral is just as real as the physical in every respect. You cannot see electricity, but you know enough not to take hold of two live wires. An undisciplined spirit that you cannot see can give you a shock as powerful as an electric shock. A loving spirit can make you feel all the finer emotions of love with the greatest of ease. The scenery in the Astral is just as real as the scenery in England, China, or California, or on the moon. The inhabitants of the Astral plane are just as real as any people on earth. Things come and go on the Astral plane just as they do on earth. Actually, the chief difference between the two is one of vibrating fre­ quency of the substance in question. The Astral has its laws which must be obeyed just as we have our laws. There is one difference. The laws of the Astral are obeyed. No Limits to Astral Travel As you develop your psychic power, you can, during your meditation period without leaving your chair, travel to all levels of the Astral World, see its scenery and people and view their activities; then return to the physical world. You can travel to any of many dimensions of the Astral or any part of the physical world and then return to where your physical body is resting. If that is not something exciting to look forward to, then you had better throw this book away. The trips that you can take are endless and they do not cost you a penny. First Step on Our Trip to Astral World It is evening and quite dark as we start our tour of the Astral World. As we raise our vibrations, we find ourselves on the third level or dimension of the Astral. It is light all the time on the Astral plane. The people need no sleep unless put to sleep for a specific pur­ pose. The landscape looks very much like earth. The first fact that you notice is that the colors are bright, fresh and clean looking. They are much more beautiful than earthly colors. The colors on the third level are about the same in number as earth colors. Of course, there are no streets, automobiles, airplanes, telephones or electric wires, buses or railroad trains. The landscape where we are now consists of rolling hills and valleys with beautiful lakes, trees, flowers, houses and other buildings. There is no need for stores or shopping centers. You even make your own clothes. The in­

58

habitants of the third level are dressed very much like earth people. The first fact that you notice is how beautiful they are. All seem to be about 30 years of age. You will notice that the people swish along or fly at high speeds. They can travel the speed of light. We are approaching an English Colonial house. There is a girl outside caring for the beautiful flowers. Her husband comes out of the house and moves rapidly away. As we approach the house, the girl (her name is Virginia) recognizes me. She was my wife’s spirit guide. She is a very beautiful English girl who lived in London between 1820 and 1850. She died in childbirth at the age of 30. I in­ troduce her to you and she motions for us to go inside. The living room is furnished very much like it would have been in the early 1800s. There is a bright red rug on the floor, a wood burning fireplace, a couch and overstuffed chairs. There are pictures on the walls. She invites us to sit down. Of course, spirits do not need fur­ niture, but they can make use of some household equipment. During all of this time, not a word is spoken. We are picking up each other’s thoughts. I then suggest that we talk, so we carry on a conversation just as might occur on earth. Your Pets Will Be Waiting For You Virginia shows us the rest of the house, and you wonder what use they make of some of the equipment. As we depart, we see the dog that Virginia owned back in England, lying on the front lawn. He greets us as he probably greeted many people when living on the earth plane. Yes, animals, birds and all forms of life are immortal. Actually, the so-called lower forms of life are much more psychic than the majority of humans. Your favorite pets will be kept for you on the Astral plane by friends, relatives or in an animal shelter. If no one claims them, they reincarnate and return to earth. We now swish along like the rest of the natives enjoying the beautiful scenery. But wait—-what is that coming toward us? We are surprised to see two beautiful white Arabian horses pulling the car­ riage of a husband and wife out for a pleasant ride. They smile and wave to us as they pass us. Undoubtedly, this couple have their favorite team of horses with them here in the Astral World. Things Come and Go on the Astral Plane Just As on Earth We are enjoying observing the many different types of houses

59

and buildings when we notice a group of churches. Yes, you will find your favorite church here. Some of the older, outmoded churches are disintegrating and disappearing just as things do on earth. The modern churches still look bright and shiny. They are filled to capacity for religious services. The third dimension of consciousness is a “playing out” and transitional level. You can find anything you want on the third level, but it may not help you progress to higher levels. There Are No Secrets on the Astral Plane We are now approaching a group of buildings where counselors hold forth. I am anxious to talk to Mrs. Spokes, who recently sent me a woman for counseling. Mrs. Spokes is glad to see us and im­ mediately asks how Ruth is progressing. She asks this question out of courtesy, for she knows full well how Ruth is getting along. ESP is a simple operation in the Astral plane. Out of courtesy, also, I tell her that Ruth is progressing very well and that my wife and I enjoy having her in our home. Ruth died of breast cancer about three years ago. She was put to sleep for over two years. Her life on earth was not a pleasant one: she was divorced and tried to raise her two children on her own. My Astral Helpers repaired the damage that earthly surgeons had done, providing her with two new breasts and helping her change herself into a beautiful woman. If you are minus a leg, arm, eye, toe, teeth or any other part of your body when you arrive on the Astral plane, the part will be replaced instantly. Counseling and Teaching is Individualized Counseling and teaching are all on an individual basis on the Astral plane. You select your own teacher or counselor and progress at your own rate. Your teachers or counselors are on a higher vibra­ tion level, but they can reduce their vibration so that you can see and work with them. The teachers also arrange the learning to fit your level of advancement. Many of these teachers work on different levels as they meet and help many spirit forms. Now, I would like to show you a rest home. We are here at the snap of your finger. I would like to talk to another Virginia who passed to spirit about two years ago. She was asleep for over a year. Upon awakening, she was sent to this rest home to recover from her very rough emotional life on earth.

60

What a beautiful, restful place! There is a huge lake in front of the cottages that make up the rest home, In the background is a snow-capped mountain. The peace, beauty and quietness of this place are unbelievable. Virginia is coming toward us now. She is very beautiful. I know her daughter* Suzanne, who is my typist. The second Virginia in­ quires about her daughter, but does not mention her husband who is now remarried. Before we leave this rest home, I make arrangements for Virginia to stay with us in our home in Ann Arbor. Fourth Level of Consciousness Althouth it is difficult to leave this beautiful place, we must now raise our vibrations a little higher so that we can land on the forth dimension of consciousness. The landscape appears different. There are fewer reds and greens and more blues and purples. I would like to show you my father’s house. He built one on the Astral plane that is exactly like the one he built in Ann Arbor. Let’s go in quietly. My father, mother, older brother and a friend I knew when he was on the earth plane are sitting in the living room talking. They are not surprised to see us; they knew we were coming. Let’s go out into the backyard. I would like to see all of our birds that we loved so dearly while they were on the earth plane. My father has them all. It is getting to be quite a bird sanctuary. My father built bird houses for them, but they seem to like the nearby trees. Now, they recognize me, hop around and chirp gleefully as they express their joy in seeing me. But why am I feeling so sad right now? Oh—I know. It is little Tammy who loved her life on earth very much. She did not want to die. Seeing me made her sad. Even this little bird can put out a very strong emotional feeling. Colors and Form Noticeably Different on Fifth Level We will need help to raise our vibrations to the fifth level. I send a message to my wife’s mother, Lenna, to come. She is here instantly. Almost instantly, we find ourselves in the fifth level of consciousness. The colors are still different—the greens are blue-green, the yel­ low is gold, the reds are rose color. There are beautiful violet, purple and white colors. The architecture is difficult to describe in words. Lenna is a free soul. She wants to show us where she lives. It is a very tall building that seems to be at least 100 stories high. There are no front entrances, halls or stairways. You fly right into your apart­

61

ment. I see it so clearly in my mind as I write these lines, but I just can’t describe it for you. Master Teacher Takes Us to Sixth Level To visit the sixth level, it will be necessary for me to call in Ralph, my master teacher. He will help us raise our vibrations still higher in order to reach the sixth dimension of consciousness. He appears and we are instantly on a strip of the sixth level where it is possible to observe the whole universe. I now know what our spirit friends mean when they tell us that their concepts of time and space are different from ours. A more beautiful sight I have never seen. It seemed that you could reach out and touch the planets that are millions of miles away to us on earth. There are planets in all directions: above, below, to the right and to the left. As we swish along this strip, it keeps coming up. You never come to the end of it. It looks like a narrow strip that you could easily walk off. I will not try to describe the architecture. The landscape does not resemble the earth plane at all. The colors are beautiful whites, violets, purples, and golds. The natives are dressed in robes. They do not look old, but very wise. There are very few houses or other buildings on the sixth level. We will now go to another of my master teacher’s houses. George and his beautiful wife greet us warmly. The house seems to be built of white alabaster. The rooms are large but there is no furniture such as you would find on earth. There are beautiful colors and forms all over the house that are constantly changing, like a motion picture. George’s and his wife’s auras are a beautiful combination of purple, white, violet and gold. Now, let us return to the earth level where we find our physical bodies resting where we left them. You will notice a silver cord con­ necting the Astral and physical bodies. This flexible cord will stretch any distance on the earth or Astral planes. When the cord breaks, you are physically dead, and your Astral Body returns to the Astral world. Now your Astral Body disappears into the physical body and you awaken. A Very Soul Searching View of the Seventh Level I have had only one direct experience on the seventh level of con­

62

sciousness. Of course, my spirit friends have told me a great deal about it, so I feel that I understand something about the final stage during which you satisfy all the requirements before returning to God, Let me tell you of my one experience on the seventh level of con­ sciousness. I was carrying out my daily meditation one evening and apparently getting nowhere (so I thought). I kept trying to raise my vibrations and repeatedly asked my spirit friends to come in. Nothing happened. Suddenly, I found myself on the seventh dimension. I found out later that they were giving me a chance to raise my vibrations to the highest possible level before two of them finished the job and landed me on the seventh level. Nothing resembling the earth plane is in evidence. There are no buildings or houses. It seems that you are on a huge white cloud. The whites are the most beautiful I have ever seen. Violet and purple colors are used to give form to the people and objects. Shortly before this experience, two of our birds that we loved so much died. Two of my spirit friends got the idea of surprising me with a seventh level memorial service. So, here I was witnessing a memorial service for two birds who sat up like majors on a perch that appeared to have no support. In the background, noticeable only because of the purple and violet colors that made you aware of it, was a huge pipe organ. In front of the organ was a group of spirits sing­ ing. They appeared to be standing on nothing, just rising up out of a white cloud. Seated around this singing group and the organ, but on a lower level, were many spirit forms. In the middle was my grandmother who is a seventh level dweller. She has reached the point in her development where her features are just barely visible, since she is growing away from the physical form as she moves closer to God. However, the lights streaming from her person are really something that must be seen to believe. They are totally in­ describable. I did not recognize any of the music as that heard on earth. However, the organ music and spirit voices surely moved me emotionally. Tears of joy filled my eyes as I realized that high level personalities were taking the time to do honor to our little feathered friends. I tried to comprehend the type of spiritual development necessary to do what they were doing. I came away a better person. The scene that I witnessed will be forever imprinted on my mind. I in­ tend to have a spirit-minded artist materialize this scene on canvas for my friends to see, with the hope that they will capture some of the emotional tone generated on the seventh level of consciousness.

4. How Astra! Power Through Astral Helpers Keeps Evil Forces Out Of Your Life I don’t intend to get into a philosophical discussion of good and evil in this chapter. There are authorities who will have you believe that everything coming from God is good. These authorities tell us that even a tornado is creative and good, while to our way of think­ ing, it is very destructive. These persons would have us believe that man is responsible for all evil forces in all dimensions of the universe. There are also those who believe that we all get what we are looking for. If we think that evil will beset us, it will. There are many other ways of looking at the problem of good and evil, none of which need concern us now. Like It or Not, Evil Forces Are All Around Us The fact is that evil exists now and probably always existed. We read daily of many types of criminal, illegal and immoral behavior. We spend a significant part of the tax dollar to combat evil forces on the physical plane. Evil forces are even responsible for a large percen­ tage of the patients in all types of hospitals. But what about the evil forces in the Astral World above the physical dimension? If you really and honestly believe that everything in the total universe is good and that you are completely free from all evil influences, then there is no problem. There surely would be no need for this chapter. However, none of us is 100 percent conscious of our complete personalities, so we do not know what manner of evil may come our way. We can perhaps understand that a reportedly religious man, a pillar in the church and a leader in the community, can steal a million dollars, but we cannot understand how a spirit personality can play havoc with our lives here on earth. 63

Mary Did Not Ask For Protection Mary read a book on how to become a psychic in ten easy les­ sons. This book, and many like it that should not be allowed in cir­ culation, did not tell Mary of the bypaths to psychic development that might play havoc in her life. The authors of such books who are only out to make a fast buck feel that the great majority will not develop far enough to get into trouble—so why be concerned about this problem? Mary was not instructed to ask for protection from evil forces as she raised her vibrations to higher dimensions—so evil forces took Mary over. For days, she could not move her arms without great ef­ fort. She saw these evil forces in the form of evil faces on the curtains and walls. Hideous-looking creatures stared at her all day and night. She was literally thrown on her bed and raped repeatedly, day after day. Don’t ever get the idea that with death all sex disappears. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Naturally, no one, including her husband, believed her story. They did believe that she was insane. Her husband left her and finally divorced his “kooky” wife. It was several weeks before Mary finally stumbled into a method of freeing herself from these evil spirit forces. Her earnest prayers were finally put in the proper form and the evil forces left. Mary now asks for protection every time she meditates, but the scars of her first encounter with evil forces above the physical level are still there. People Who See Evil Everywhere, Not Ready to Receive Astral Power I am certain that you know at least one person who sees evil everywhere. As you listen to this person talking, you get the idea that evil is much more prevalent than good. Such a person is not ready to develop Astral Power. You may be aware of the possibility of evil but the balance must definitely be in favor of the good. You are not ready to receive positive Astral Power if you have unbending, dogmatic beliefs about good and evil. You must have an open mind, ready to study and learn and accept new ideas and ways of doing things. You must not be dependent upon any group or organization mouthing their crystallized concepts and way of life long after these concepts are of no value to anyone.

Preparing to Meet Evil Forces on the Physical Plane—First Step in Preparing to Avoid Evil From Higher Levels Developing the type of personality that can cope with evil forces on the physical plane is the best preparation for meeting evil forces in higher dimensions. You must be capable of handling your life as it is, using all of your resources. You must be ready for active exploration, not retreat and the development of introversive tendencies. Cowards never conquer evil forces or tap Astral Power. As far as evil forces are concerned, it is true that you see what you want to see. You do not have an objective view of the earth. There are as many concepts of the earth as there are human beings living on the earth, and none of them is 100 percent correct. If you believe that all men are evil, you will never experience any goodness in human beings. If such is the case, even your best friends will show their worst sides to you. This is surely not the way to win friends and influence people. It may be difficult for you to fully understand that your past life is the product of what you expected it to be. The unfortunate part of this is that you carry all these negative traits in your life to the spirit world. Do not believe in demons or devils or you will surely experience them. Do not become obsessed with evil forces or you will find yourself in the midst of an evil environment. The Need to Houseclean Again Evident In Chapter 3 ,1 called your attention to the need for mental and emotional housecleaning. You should now be aware of the need for eliminating all ideas of evil or you are not ready to receive positive Astral Power. I am fully aware of the fact that it is extremely difficult to believe in the good and keep all thoughts of evil out of your mind. People might call you naive or a fool. The great majority of people believe that you should be on guard at all times against all forms of evil. June opened the door to let in a man who wanted to use the telephone, so June ends up being raped and robbed. Beliefs in the good are more realistic than you may realize at the moment. We hate crime, wars and injustice so we get more of each. We need to love peace, honesty and integrity and those qualities will become materialized.

Remember what Christ said to the people stoning a woman to death? “ He who is without sin, cast the first stone.” To the woman he said, “Go and sin no more.” Actually, a government that executes a man for murder commits a greater crime than the original murderer. It is no accident that the crime rate in states that had capital punishment was higher than in those states not having such a law. It is unfortunate that the original concepts of Christianity were not given a chance to help people. Negative Forces Make Release of Astral Power Difficult I know a businessman who has been trying for years to develop Astral Power to no avail. He cannot understand why. He states that he believes in its value, yet he questions the validity of every psychic. It would be easier to convince him that a psychic was a fraud than to convince him that they are really contacting higher dimensional levels. It is his rigid concepts of good and evil that hold him back. He is not spiritually and psychically flexible; he is like a dog on a leash. This narrowness can follow you through many lifetimes if you do not do something about it. Negative Forces Can Bind You to Other Groups and People For Many Lifetimes Right now, I am thinking of two men who have been bound to other men in lives past because of hate, resentment or evil thoughts and actions in relation to each other. This may be a big world, but believe it or not, these men will find each other to do battle all over again. This may go on for hundreds of years until one or the other frees himself from his rigid, inflexible ideas of good and evil. It is sound advice to turn the .other cheek if you can realize that the one wronging you is really only hurting himself. Let me tell you a true story. I had an aunt who was anything but positive in her thinking and actions. Her petty crimes are too numerous to mention. Aunt Clare ran a boarding house in Ann Arbor. My parents lived next door to her. There was an old house in the back yard of her new house. The old house should have been torn down, but it was moved in back of the new house. My aunt got the idea of raising chickens for her boarding house. One day, the old house caught fire and all the chickens were killed.

67

My aunt told the story that I set fire to the old house (I was about eight years old then) and was on the roof of our house with a hose to keep the fire from spreading to our house. I did not set fire to the old house. I had no way to get to the roof of a three-story house. It was all a lie. Many years later, after I had developed my psychic resources, my Aunt Clare, who died many years before, came in one night at my father’s suggestion during my meditation period. She asked for forgiveness for telling the great lie about me. There was a dead chicken tied around her neck. Of course, I had forgotten the incident, but recalled it vividly when I saw her in spirit form. I forgave her and the dead chicken dis­ appeared instantly. She was instantly freed from that particular evil that she had committed while living on the earth. A Suggestion For Cutting the Negative Bonds Before I go any farther with this discussiofi of evil forces, I would like to suggest to you a way to free yourself of all negative bonds to other people. To do so now will mean that you will not need to do battle with them in some other lifetime. It must get a little monotonous for entities to keep returning to earth because of the many negative thoughts and actions during their past lives. I suggest that you review your present life and recall as many in­ cidents as possible in which some evil force made your actions toward others negative in some way, so that hate, anger, resentment, fear of jealousy was the end result. Perhaps your thoughts or actions have unconsciously bound you to this person or persons. Prepare as complete a list of the people involved as possible. in your mind, or when possible in person, turn the other cheek in order to free your mind from all narrow, negative, bigoted, rigid thoughts, ideas and actions. If you do not do this during this lifetime, you will be reminded of it later—so clean the slate now and develop that flexible, open-minded personality so that it does not happen again. You will not only free your soul from many disturbing in­ fluences that keep piling up but you will create a better environment for fully releasing your Astral Power. You can set the stage for expanded love, health, wealth and hap­ piness. Like attracts like, so you will find yourself with new friends with the same positive qualities. Always remember, that positive, creative accomplishments, joy, love, bits of truth gained now,

definitely make it possible for you to change the universe on all levels or dimensions. Auras an Indication of Good and EviS Let us now both take another walk in space. I would like you to see and become aware of many indications of good and evil all around us. Even perfect physical sensory equipment is not enough for you to become aware of what our Astral Bodies can pick up. We leave our physical bodies, which now appear to be asleep, as we step through the wall out into the street. Wait a minute—you walked right through the man and he never noticed you. See the bird sitting up in the tree over there? He noticed us, as did the dog across the street. I have already called your attention to the fact that animals are very psychic. Now let’s stand here for a few minutes and observe the persons passing us. Everyone has an aura, and their colors tell us a great deal about the person. Notice the beautiful combination of white and blue flowing from that man who just passed us. He is very spiritually oriented. Contrast his aura with the muddy red and brown one of the next man to pass. He is an evil man. See the beautiful flow of gold and yellow from the man now standing right in front of us? He is very intellectual and is basically a good man. Seeing auras is another illustration of the fact that as we look out on the physical world, we do not see one tenth of what is actually there. Here comes a woman with a bright brick red aura. She must be very angry at the moment—-so angry that she could do bodily harm to someone. Let’s concentrate on her thoughts. Is her husband going to get it when she sees him! She is looking down the street at a man who is now approaching her. His aura is pale grey. He must be this woman’s husband; surely he is filled with fear. We must do this more often. It is a lot of educated fun to stand on the street corner in your Astral Body and see what is going on in the minds and bodies of other humans. Notice a young couple strolling down the street. They cannot take their eyes off of each other. Their auras are very bright and tend to blend to make one aura that enfolds both of them. A generous amount of pure rose color flows from their heads, shoulders, arms and hands. This means unselfish constant affection. They are truly in love. We cannot help but notice the sad, little woman coming our way now. Her thoughts reveal that things are not going well with her. Her

dark grey aura mixed with brown and red indicates that she is very depressed. She is very close to the psychotic level and needs help. Here is an interesting observation. See the man following that attractive girl who is dressed to reveal her sexual charms? He has it all spelled out in his mind. We pick up pictures from his mind of a bedroom scene with two naked bodies. His aura is deep red mixed with brown. There is also a lot of carmine red in it. Let’s pick up the girl’s thoughts. She knows that she has the man on her hook. Her aura has a lot of greenish and reddish brown, indicating pure selfishness. She will take him for every cent he has. Here comes an evil man. See his green and gray aura mixed with reddish brown? He would make a good con man. At any rate, he is very deceitful. Now look at an older couple coming our way. The man’s aura has a lot of white and lavender in it. His wife’s aura is violet and white. Here we find complete spiritual dedication. Both have a high degree of spirituality. Auras May Soon Be Used to Diagnose Illness The colors of this next man’s aura are very dull. There seems to be a lot of dark gray,—-almost black,—and brown. He must be on his way to the doctor’s office. At least he should be, for he is very ill and may not make it. The Meaning of Thought Clouds As we swish along down the street, we notice clouds of thought vibrations. If we could only fully understand them, we could under­ stand the composite thinking of many people. Thoughts are things and every thought you ever set into motion is still moving somewhere. Reading these composite thought vibrations would be a more accurate poll than any other. These thought clouds become forces, like attracting like. All of us have our own thought atmosphere that attracts others who think as we do. Do I need to tell you what evil thought composites can do to you? See the composite of thoughts that we are coming closer to? I can tell by the colors and general nature of this composite that it is made up of depressed feelings. Let’s swish right into its path and prove a point. You now feel depressed but you do not know why.

Randolph Hearst called the Symbionese Liberation Army kid­ nappers of his daughter, Patricia, cruel. He believes that his daughter was brainwashed or she surely would not have announced that she would stay with her captors. From my preceding discussion, you now know what happened. Patricia was subjected to great clouds of the composite thoughts of these radicals until the time came when she ac­ cepted these men as having a worthy cause. We Need Protection From Physical Evil Forces as Well as Evil on Higher Levels We know that we must seek protection from evil forces above the physical level. However, you must now realize that we also need protection from these clouds of composite evil thought patterns that exist on the physical plane. We can avoid reading or listening to the propaganda put out by groups or individuals, but what about the thought clouds that our physical senses cannot become aware of ? One of the most interesting side trips of our space walk will be to become aware of individual thought forms that can be seen easily by our Astral senses. Many of them are very beautiful, colored designs that have powerful meanings. However, we must protect ourselves from the ugly, dark thoughts that come from evil minds or groups of minds. I surely do not need to call your attention to the magnetic in­ fluence of these composite evil thought patterns that could draw us in if we are not careful. Protection Necessary When Traveling the Lower Astral Levels Before entering one of the lowest divisions of the Astral plane, it will be necessary for me to surround both of us with protective forces. We might otherwise suffer some terrifying consequences, as was the case with Mary. Do not be afraid. You will be taught later how to get the needed protection. We do not need to raise our vibrations very high, for we are still close to the physical pull of earth. It appears that we are in a foul, foggy, dense atmosphere that makes it rather difficult to move around freely. This is where the depraved, vulgar, immoral, dis­ honest, criminal spirits live. It is the place most people think of as hell. There is no feeling of peace, quiet, love, rest or anything positive here. People here just wander around helplessly. Many of them are very repulsive to look at. Some are so far down the scale that there is

littie hope of saving them. These personalities are finally destroyed and their souls sent back to God. We would find the most hopeless on still lower levels which we will not visit. As we look into the background of this place, we can still see the material world. These souls have died but have not made any progress on the Astral level. They have been sent here to think about their sins. If we look more closely, we will notice that the earthly scenes are not of a highly desirable type. The beautiful earth, with all of its many worthwhile activities, is not available to these depraved souls. Person Not Interested in Psychic Development Also in Danger There is still another danger of evil from these lower levels to people not interested in raising their vibrations to the Astral level. I have already called your attention to the fact that the composites or collective atmospheres around undesirable evil persons, areas or es­ tablishments are very strong. Persons on the earthly plane who have had too much to drink, have been taking drugs, or are just very ner­ vous, tense and negative in their thinking lay themselves open to the disastrous influences of these wicked souls. Unfortunately, death does not keep evil forces from taking their toll. The people in a night club, bar, gambling palace or other places low on the accepted morality scale are apparently having a good time, drinking, making or losing money, dancing, going to bed with their best friend’s wife or what have you. Right now, we are out of body and observing more than what the majority of people would agree is going on. We see these evil souls from the places previously described hovering over many of the people in the physical plane, egging them on to greater immoral, il­ legal, lewd activities. Not being able to engage in these undesirable activities on a physical level themselves, they get their kicks by in­ fluencing others to follow their evil ways. I notice that you are becoming a little nervous about leaving your physical body for so long a time. We will swish back so that you can see that all is well. Our physical bodies appear to be asleep. Observing a Few Spirit-Physical Activities Through Astral Projection It is late at night and most humans are in bed. It is true that all but the evil spirits respect the privacy of humans in bed asleep or

engaging in sexual relations. However, we will be one very uncom­ mon exception to the rule. I will let you be the judge as to whether or not you believe that what you see is evil. I have called your attention to the fact that death does not preclude sex. If anything, the lovemaking urge is increased. Several volumes could be written on this subject, but I will need to limit my discussion to just a few observations. Here is an interesting scene. There is a man asleep in the living room sitting in front of the television set. The TV is on but this man is sound asleep. Let’s move into the bedroom. Here we see a woman enjoying sex with a man from the spirit side of life. It is obvious that she is receiv­ ing the maximum emotional pleasure from the experience. It goes on and on, lasting much longer than the average sexual encounter. Now, we hear the man in the living room moving around. He turns off the television set and goes into the bathroom. When he gets into bed with this woman who is his wife, she appears to be asleep. He wakes her up and proceeds to engage in the love act which is over in a short time. The woman appears to get very little out of it. Who was the spirit whose performance was so very fine? He was her first husband who died several years ago. Good or evil—you be the judge. Well, this night appears to be very fruitful. In that apartment down there is a couple engaging in a very heavy petting. Let’s stop and observe. It is the man’s apartment and the girl is his choice for a wife. He has determined to go the whole way tonight, but she has other ideas. He plies her with drink, but she still holds out. Finally Ted decides to take his girl Judy home. When they arrive there he tries again to no avail. Judy finally agrees to let Ted put her to bed. Seeing her beautiful body drives him out of his mind, but she will not give in. Ted is back at his home again, hitting the bottle. Suddenly he has an idea. He has been studying about Astral projection. Ted quickly takes off his clothes and jumps into bed. He goes into medita­ tion and thinks of his Astral Body at his girl’s apartment. Ted finds her in deep sleep dreaming about him. His Astral Body takes it from this point. She responds beautifully. At last he has gone the whole way. Finally, both are in each other’s arms, fast asleep. In the morning, he wakes up at home with a full realization of what hap­ pened. Should he tell her? Better not, he finally concludes. Again, I ask the question: good or evil? You be the judge.

Beware of Imposters From the Spirit World Norma Jean Baker (Marilyn Monroe), who has been a great help in writing this book, tells me that while on earth, she was con­ scious of the fact that she was the sex object for thousands of men every night as they dreamed of having intercourse with her, or very consciously masturbating. Since she has been on the spirit side of life for 12 years, it seems a bit surprising to her that she is still the sex object for many men who dream of sex with her or masturbate. Being a fifth level inhabitant, she has no intention of answering their requests, but the lower level females are more than willing to impersonate Marilyn Monroe. Would-be psychics who are able to raise their vibrations a bit and do not have worthy goals often request a night with Marilyn or some other well-known sexy female. Sure enough, their request is answered, and a female falsely claiming to be the one requested serves up the wanted sex or perverted act. The would-be psychic does not know the difference. Girls can do the same thing with the same results. This leads us directly into another problem for my readers. Evil spirits will impersonate anyone, even your sainted grandmother—so don’t get too excited if you believe you have contacted a friend or relative or any person until you are certain that the real person really shows up. But now let’s get on with our space walk in the private lives of earth people. One of my students recently reported that she had con­ tacted a young man in spirit who offered to help her with her astrology lessons. I sensed his presence during one our meetings and asked his name. He replied that it was none of my business. That answer in itself would be enough to cast suspicion on him. Let’s swish over to Joan’s apartment and see what is going on. Joan is sound asleep, but this young man is fooling around with her, being careful not to wake her up or even let her dream about him. He is now having sexual relations with her. He will probably try to gain her confidence and then let her be conscious of his nightly visits. I will advise Joan to protect herself against this evil spirit. Volumes could be written about the evil forces of the Astral World. Mahatma Gandhi is quoted by a psychic who interviewed him as saying that “it is just as bad over here as it is there.” I am sure that you are not ready to resign from the earth because

74

of evil forces. You surely do not depend upon the forces of law and order. There is three times as much crime as reported. Most of us have faith that we will live another day, month or year. The Astral world seems to survive fairly well also. Black Magic is the Wrong Use of Powerful Astral Power If we very carefully study this problem of evil on all levels of the universe, we have to come to the conclusion that a very evil entity can also be potentially a very good one. For example, black magic and satanism are simply the use of powerful energy for the wrong pur­ pose. Good and evil are both creative. I am almost ready to conclude that all things going on today in the universe are a mixture of good and evil. If you understand this, you will work your way through it all with G od’s protection and your own pure motives. We Must Learn to Adjust to Both Good and Evil It is true that sometimes the greatest help comes from the faulty people. This is true whether they exist on the physical or Astral planes. It is also true that many good people cannot be of any help to anyone. One of my philosophy teachers once stated in class that there could be no good without evil or evil without good. Many religious leaders tell that the good comes from God and the evil from the devil. I called your attention to composite thought and emotional pat­ terns that are everywhere. No one can avoid the evil and disturbing ones. It is equally true that if we can love people regardless of their faults, and if we can keep from sitting in judgment of other people, we will be better persons ourselves. Like attract like; our own honesty, open-mindedness, charity and basic goodness will draw us to all that is good. It works the other way also. Our faults and weaknesses attract more of the same. We must never let a negative thought get started because it will multiply so rapidly that it will soon take over. Labeling this condition as evil or devil forces does not help. Several times I have mentioned the need for mental housecleaning if a positive basis for psychic developments is to exist. Let me put it another way: there is no evil force or person, no type of satanism or black magic, no low level spirit that can have any effect upon you un­ less there is some negative potential of the same frequency within you.

Rid Yourself of Evil Traits and Protection Will Not Be as Vitally Necessary In general, the best preparation against evil, no matter where it comes from, is to rid yourself of dishonesty, fear, jealousy, selfishness, hatred, doubt or ulterior motives. To do this will bring a tight band of protection around you that evil cannot penetrate. Commands For Protection Against All Evil Forces Since none of us are perfect and probably never will be, a prac­ tical solution to the problem of evil as you develop your psychic power is to appeal to God for help. After you have relaxed your body and, through concentration, prepared your mind for higher vibrations, repeat this statement of protection: “God’s pure white light is protecting me against all undisciplined spirits and evil entities.” or “A tight band of security against all evil forces exists around my home and family. God’s helpers are protecting me from all physical, emotional or mental harm.”

Repeat these statements at least three times, concentrating on the positive nature of the protection. One of these commands should be repeated every night before going to sleep. If you are in the habit of praying at this time, add the protection statement to your prayer. You should ask for protection every time you meditate. Let us suppose that an evil spirit is plying his trade with you now. How do you get rid of this evil force? In as strong thoughts or spoken words as possible, state: “In the name of Jesus Christ (or Jehovah), begone instantly.” Keep repeating this statement until the force disappears.

5. How To Use The Magic Formula, R-C-C, To Bring Forth A Flood Of Riches If you have learned your lessons well, you are now ready to ap­ ply what you have learned. I suggest that you keep reviewing the first four chapters until your Astral Power is well established. In this chapter, we are concerned with many types of riches. Most of us need to work for a living, so we are necessarily concerned with material riches. There are mental and emotional riches as well, however; one should like what he is doing. Your life is not complete unless you have finally experienced spiritual riches. You are on earth to learn and advance toward oneness with God; spiritual riches are your crowning achievement. Relaxation—Concentration—Contemplation As you advance in your meditation skills, you will learn the full meaning of these three words: Relaxation—Concentration— Contemplation. They will become your magic formula. Alex Manoogian, Edward Forey, Bill Davidson and Richard Riobel would have to spend $13,000 a day for 20 years to squander their personal fortunes. Each of these millionaires took a small com­ pany and built it into a gold mine. Each would tell you that money as such has little effect or mean­ ing to them other than making it possible for them to control the companies in which they are interested. Each will tell you that he worked 12 hours a day six days a week, and thought about business seven days a week. If this is not concentration in action, what is? Each, and many others like them, will tell you that success means a sacrifice of other things. Each will tell you that you have to select good people to build a sound organization and then know how to manage them. People must like their work and do it joyfully. 76

There Must Be Real Dedication Each of these men will tell you that you need to feel real dedica­ tion to the job. Every rich man or woman will admit that wealth is a state of mind. They achieve as much satisfaction in giving money away as they do in making it. Many wealthy people do give away huge fortunes. Charles S. Mott of General Motors must have made good use of the magic formula relaxation—concentration—contemplation, Peo­ ple were surprised when they discovered that he held only General Motors stock. He concentrated on one corporation, working hard to create wealth for it. He did not play the stock market. But he also contemplated oneness with God, for he gave millions for education in the Flint, Michigan schools. He made it possible for the University of Michigan to build a branch of the university at Flint. He gave money to build one of the finest children’s hospitals in the world at the University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Ar­ bor. His philanthropic activities were numerous. A person must be relaxed and free from tension to do all the things Charles Mott did. You must develop concentration, not only for successful meditation, but for all of your activities. The crowning achievement comes when you contemplate oneness with God as you go about relieving the burdens of your less fortunate brothers. What Happens When the Magic Formula Is Not Used Wisely Let us see what happens when you do not make full use of the third factor of your magic formula—contemplation of oneness with God. Richard Clayton was a successful high school physical education teacher with a wife and two children. He became interested in playing the stock market. His goal was to make $100,000 and then quit. He told himself that too many people are not satisfied and keep on building up a financial empire. He was going to be different—or so he thought to himself. He reached his goal without too much trouble, but he did not quit then. He thought, “I will run my winnings up to $500,000 and then quit the market and my job. I will retire before the age of 30.” He concentrated on the market, but since he was in a hurry, he took more chances on stock that certainly was not “ blue chip.” Within a year however,Richard had his $500,000, on paper at least.

78

How To Use the M agic Formula R-C-C

He quit his job but he did not quit the market. Said he, “ I will run it up to $1,000,000 and then quit for sure.” Richard was concentrating, but at this point even if he had asked for Astral helpers—which, of course, he knew nothing about—he would not have received their help. You must have an honest, honorable goal to win the support of Astral helpers. Bit by bit, Richard’s fortune grew; however, he was also taking more chances on the stock market. Many of his friends warned him to slow down and use better judgment, but he did not listen. He told himself that he would surely quit when he reached $1,000,000. As he approached his last goal, his luck changed to misfortune. He became panicky and used poorer and poorer judgment, until it was too late to save his fortune. The motor of his Cadillac was still running when they found him in his garage—dead. In his zeal to amass material wealth, he had not contemplated oneness with God. If you wish to reach any of your goals in life, you must put all three factors of your magic formula to work—re la x a tio n concentration—contemplation. How The Astral Helpers Can Get You a Job One of the least successful methods of getting a job is to start out with the classified section in your hand. You go from one employ­ ment office to another asking for a job, and fill out dozens of applica­ tions which will never be considered or even looked at by anyone. At the end of the day, you go home tired, discouraged and feeling very low on the totem pole. You should formulate in your mind an image of the type of posi­ tion that you want. Picture the type of employer for whom you wish to work. Evaluate carefully your own qualifications. Above all, do not sell yourself short to yourself or anyone else. You are better than you think you are. During your meditation period, present the picture you have formulated in your mind to your Astral helpers. Actually, vividly and realistically see yourself on the job that you want. Give your Astral helpers the task of coming up with suggestions as to where this job is located, if it exists or can be created. After a few meditation sessions over a period of a few days, listen carefully for suggestions from the Astral world. Follow up on these suggestions until you find your ideal job. You may even get calls from unexpected sources offering you a job. Your job will be waiting for you and you alone.

One of my college teaching jobs was secured in this way. The University Placement Bureau sent my credentials (by mistake—so they thought—my Astral helpers will tell you that it was no mistake) to a midwestern college. As far as anyone knew, there was no job available at this college. Within a short time, I received a letter from Dr. Collins, presi­ dent of this college. He stated that he would be passing through my home town on a certain day and that he would like to talk to me. I kept that appointment. Dr. Collins told me that he had no opening in the field of psychology, but he was interested in my qualifications. We kept on talking and before the interview was over, I had a job. I was to report for work in two weeks. Astral Helpers Actually Created a Job For Me It does not take any great amount of imagination to realize how very busy my Astral helpers were. They actually created a job for me where none existed. They must have been in touch with many col­ leges before finding a college where they could create this job. They influenced someone at the University Placement Bureau to send my credentials to Dr. Collins, who had not requested them. They in­ fluenced Dr. Collins to not send my qualification report right back, but to read it. They must have known that Dr. Collins would be com­ ing my way soon. They kept putting ideas in his mind until he wrote the letter. They kept hammering away at him until he saw the need for a new job and that I was just the person to fill it. I stayed on that job for ten years, until a better one came along the same way. More Evidence of How Your Astral Helpers Work For You After my experience with the Air Force, I decided to open up an office and devote my time to helping others. I did not know at that time how best I might help. I opened the office on pure faith. It would be about one year before my name was even listed in the Yel­ low Pages; however, I kept busy for a while thinking up new ideas. One day, out of the blue, a Mr. Ryan walked into my office. He apologized for not making an appointment. I already had an offer of a job with the state mental hospital; the superintendent called me several times. Three guesses as to how he knew I might be interested. I turned down that job, however.

80

Mr. Ryan wanted me to write psychological reports for a human engineering firm of which he was part owner. That was over 25 years ago; I am still writing these reports with the aid of my Astral friends. Five years later, another human engineer from Chicago walked into my office. I have been writing his reports for over 20 years. I was fired from the only job I sought out on my own. I have never been fired from any type of work in which my Astral helpers have been involved. I could give you illustrations of dozens of cases where good jobs come out of the blue to people who had only faith in God that their services would be used for the benefit of all. Why should anyone be unemployed? The answer to this ques­ tion is that they shouldn’t, but you just cannot stand around waiting for a job to come to you. You must make use of your magic formula; you must set the stage for the utilization of your assets. You must ask for help. Astral Helpers Are Everywhere—Yet Many Do Not Use Them There is plenty of evidence in the business world of thousands who never, even unconsciously, make use of Astral power. They quit school before graduating from high school. They go out and get a job—any job. They get married and have kids. They can stay on the same job for 20 years and know no more about the job or anything else than the first day they walked in. When laid off, for a variety of reasons, they head for the unemployment office, making little or no effort to get a job—just collecting their unemployment benefits. However, there are a few in this group who wake up. When the workers are called back, they have found a better job. As unlikely as it may sound, the chances of advancing from of­ fice boy or machine operator to president of the company are still as good as they ever were—but you must use your Astral power to do this. There is no other way. Regardless of the job, you must set higher goals. You must learn everything there is to know on the job. If you do not have a college degree, you must keep on taking special courses that will help you ad­ vance. The office boy who becomes president leaves no stone unturned. He learns the business from the ground up. He establishes a base of experience from which to advance. He takes advantage of every op­ portunity to show interest and concern for bettering the company. He is a vital part of the organization from the time he takes his first job. He identifies well with the company.

You may or may not realize fully why you advance, but if you do get somewhere in the business world, you have consciously or un­ consciously tapped Astral power. But always remember—you do not need to take the chance of stumbling into it. This book was written to help you make a beeline to Astral power.

Hiring By First impression Not Good Earl Jackson got by two personnel experts and was hired. They ignored the advice that I received from my Astral helpers. “ I told Dr. MacNitt that I could see nothing during my personal inter­ view that appeared to be detrimental. All Dr. MacNitt said was ‘Look again’.” “ It is true that with his degree, he should be much farther along. I can see some of the things which Dr. MacNitt criticizes,”

One of the personnel experts wrote to the personnel expert at Stearns-Foster Co. My long, detailed report was summarized as follows: Earl Jackson has a fairly good order of intelligence with fairly good supervisory ability. He is dependable in that he will be there. I predict that his likely performance will be average at best. He has trouble keeping up his confidence. He needs more self-sufficiency and less dependency. It seems to me that this man has been satisfied to give a good first im­ pression, making others believe that he is good and hoping that they will not find out otherwise. You are headed for trouble if you hire him.

This is the company for which I have been writing reports for over 25 years. They have stated on more than one occasion that my reports were “ uncanny” in their accuracy; yet this prospective employee did such a good selling job for himself that they bypassed my report. Earl Jackson not only passed inspection from two highly skilled personnel men, but he passed the objective tests given him also. Scientists are always talking about psychic phenomona not being ob­ jective. W hat could be more objective than a report based on my Astral helpers’ findings? My Astral friends found out the truth about this man.

82

How To Use the M agic Formula R-C-C

Not Hiring Because of Poor Interview Impressions Is Not Good Either This phenomenon works the other way too. During my long years of personnel evaluation for many large corporations throughout the United States and Canada, I have recommended persons who did not sell themselves well in interviews. The first im­ pression they gave was a rather poor one. My clients have come to the conclusion that in such cases, they should get my evaluation first before turning these applicants down. Having the potential capability and the personality to do a good job in some fields of activity does not always depend upon selling yourself to a personnel interviewer. Also, because an employee has failed on one job or does not receive a good recommendation does not necessarily mean that he cannot give a good account of himself on another job. You always need to take into consideration the com­ bination of personalities that will either help or hinder a new employee from making good too. James Brown had great difficulty getting and holding a job. After talking to him, you did not get the impression that he had even average intelligence. He was so quiet, so much a loner that he had no friends. It was difficult to believe that he had a degree in electrical engineering. My Astral helpers indicated to me that he could do a fine job if given the right opportunity. I finally found him a job doing research in radar on a classified project. He was locked in by himself in a research laboratory. This job was “just what the doctor ordered.” He came up with much more original material than was expected. Best of all, he was happy and contented. Since many of his findings were of a very creative nature, I suspect that he, at least unconsciously, had a few Astral helpers himself. There are too many companies whose policy is simply to hire workers and place them on probation for a few weeks or months. If they do not work out, they let them go. This is a very costly process not only from the standpoint of the need to replace the fired workers, but to spend time training them. Other factors all the way up the company’s structure may result in additional costs simply because one or more persons did not work out well. What Your Astral Helpers Contribute to the Hiring Picture Your Astral helpers can evaluate the total situation with a high

How To Use the Magic Formula R-C-C

83

degree of accuracy. They not only can point out personal habits that are good, bad or indifferent, but they can tell you if the prospective employee will identify himself well with the company and have the necessary leadership traits, confidence, dominance, etc., to succeed. Will his personality clash with those of other employees? Does he have a well enough adjusted personality to assume more and more responsibility? If it is a job where there is little opportunity for ad­ vancement, will the prospective employee be willing to stay on such a job indefinitely? Suppose you have an employee on a higher occupational level who will be retiring in a few months. It is your desire to hire a person for a rather minor job now, with the hope that the new employee can be moved up to the retired employee’s job. Will the new employee be able to handle the higher level job? Will he be satisfied with a job below his capability as he waits to move up? I could name any number of businesses and industrial organiza­ tions which might have had a fine future, but are now out of business because they failed to consider the problems that I have raised— problems best solved by Astral helpers. Too many companies hire in­ discriminately because of a time factor, a poor selection of appli­ cants, or the lack of know-how in fitting an employee to a job. An organization can be no more efficient than its employees; this is true on all levels of operation. I am now thinking of a department store that failed in a certain location. Another almost identical department store is succeeding in the same building. Why? The new corporations’s source of supply is the same. Their business organization chart shows the same standard set-up as far as distribution of authority is concerned. Why, then is one succeeding while the other one failed? Because the new' store has developed teamwork so far as their employees are concerned: each person is carefully screened and placed where he can do the most good for the company and at the same time be able to adequately release his own potential for a deeper satisfaction from his daily contacts.

Astral Power Builds a World-Wide Franchise Business A donut franchise operation was perhaps the most outstanding example of the use of Astral helpers. Perhaps millions of dollars were saved by able handling of expansion in an organization which grew very rapidly. It was evident to Bill, owner of several donut stores in the

84

How To Use the M agic Formula R-C-C

Boston area, that his method of merchandising would be successful only if handled properly. He wisely called in the human engineer with whom I have been associated for over 20 years. A survey of the organization was set up and carried out. This in­ cluded evaluation of all personnel in the present organization. It was Bill’s idea to expand with his present staff, adding new personnel as the demand indicated. Bill was a hard-boiled, down-to-earth, no-nonsense businessman with exceptionally fine foresight and imagination. Bill had no small ideas; they were all big ones. He wanted to sell franchises, construct their buildings and sell the franchisee everything it needed to operate a donut store. He also wanted to carefully supervise all activities. We first evaluated all of the present staff to determine whether or not they could grow with the company. Could they assume everincreasing responsibility? Would they delegate authority adequately? Could they develop into top-notch executives, administrators and supervisors? Could we find, within this group, all of the specific capabilities needed to do the jobs well? The completed survey indicated that none of the present employees could fit into the type of organization Bill had in mind. It was apparent that a completely new organization had to be developed. This included vice presidents of various areas, controller and staff, buyers, field supervisors, architects, draftsmen, construc­ tion supervisors, real estate men to buy property in the best locations, etc. Each of these specialized persons was hired on the basis of whether he could do the work now and continue to grow with the company. My Astral helpers surely had their hands full on this assignment. Hundreds of people had to be interviewed, tested and evaluated. Standards had to be set up for each. Qualifications for franchises had to be established. Some franchise organizations make the mistake of assuming that if a man has $20,000 invested in a franchise, he will worry about making good because of his fear of losing his money. Such a business philosophy is false and negative in its approach and will not work. It takes more than money to run a successful business operation. This franchise donut operation is today the largest in the world. It is even teaching the Japanese how to make and merchandise donuts. These franchises cover the entire United States, Canada, England and several European countries, and Japan. Although few people within the organization know it, Astral power built this organization and Astral power keeps it financially sound.

How To Get the Help of Your Astral Friends in Selecting Good People For Your Business Your attention has been focused on the fact that you do not need a quiet place to meditate. Once you have developed the skills of relaxation, concentration and contemplation, you can meditate in your office or anywhere else. You should, however, cut off the phone and see that others do not command your attention. After the forces of meditation have taken over, review the per­ sonnel data form of the person you are considering for a definite place in your organization. You could also use their letter of applica­ tion or submitted resumé. List, in your mind or on a sheet of paper, your requirements and the personal information you believe important. Be certain that all of these are clearly in your mind; then, in one simple sentence, ask your Astral helpers to come up with the answers you need. Repeat this process for each person you are considering as an applicant for a new job or a promotion to a higher level job. Use the same procedure for a person who may need to be fired. Put all of these papers aside for at least 24 hours. Your Astral helpers work fast, but they may need at least 24 hours. Do not let any thoughts concerning these persons enter your mind for 24 hours. Return to a meditating situation with all forms or other papers in front of you after 24 hours. The answers to your questions will then come into your mind. Make the necessary notes—write the reports or whatever is necessary to hire, fire, promote or transfer the person in question. It is just as simple as that. Believe what your mind tells you. Do not say, “Oh! It’s just my imagination.” Believe and act accordingly. Your reports will be right in over 90 percent of the cases. Here Are Some of the Answers Your Astral Helpers May Give You 1. Excellent potential capability—well motivated for the job—will expect to advance rapidly—good personality adjustment— recommend hiring. 2. Good potential capability—not well trained—will need more experience—does not follow through well—has no specific goals— better think twice before hiring. 3. Information on personnel data form is not accurate—check former jobs carefully.

86

How To Use the M agic Formula R-C-C

4. Has bad personal habits— does not handle money well—not 100 percent honest—not recommended. 5. Will do a wonderful job for a few weeks and then disappear. (Note; This man was hired. He actually did disappear, leaving his wife and children.) 6. Excellent family man—good marriage—-average capability—good for routine activities and limited supervisory work. 7. Puts up excellent front, but when you get to know him you realize how shallow he is—good one-order salesman. 8. Very introverted—good for research—very creative but needs some supervision— does not make good first impression but will do an excellent job if in the right place. 9. Should be able to advance to top-notch managerial activities— fine personality and character—excellent education and experience— good potential capability—good employment risk. 10. Very negative thinker—good potential but does not wear w e ll other employees will not adjust well to him— do not hire. 11. Promotion not recommended at this time— added responsibility will be hard for him to assume—is already forcing himself to keep up with his present job. 12. This man is not a good occupational risk—he should be ter­ minated at once. 13. This prospective employee needs counseling—he has a serious emotional problem that must be brought out into the open—he may work out if his emotions are straightened out. 14. This man will not work out well on the proposed job—however, he has fine potential for a job soon to be available in another field-— keep in touch with him. 15. You may have trouble holding this man.— He is destined for great things in the business world—he is overqualified for the proposed job.

How Your Astral Helpers Can Build Morale No one can deny the value of morale. If a football team does not have it, they lose games and the coach gets fired. Many corporation presidents or department heads get the axe if they cannot build morale. Hundreds of companies go down the drain every year because of morale problems. You cannot have teamwork without high morale.

How To Use the Magic Formula R-C-C

87

What are the common methods of dealing with this problem? I am sure that very few people would turn this problem over to the Astral helpers. There are two rea'sons for their not calling in the Astral helpers. First, most people never heard of the Astral helpers; second, the great majority would not believe their help possible if they had called them in. About as close as a few come to solving the problem is through prayer. This is a start, but is not properly oriented. If there is a so-called “clash in personality,” someone gets transferred or fired. There is plenty of evidence of the need for better morale. Among workers, we see their constant griping, lack of the full use of their capabilities, resentments, wildcat strikes, constant warring between management and labor, slowdowns, sloppy work, poor placement of workers, discrimination, playing favorites, and loss of money to the company. This is sufficient proof. Let Your Astral Helpers Do the Whole Job For You By applying your magic formula, relaxation, concentration, contemplation—you can find the most useful part you can play in building better morale regardless of your status as a worker. During your meditation period you can ask your Astral helpers to influence for good those of your department who are negatively contributing to the morale problem. The higher you are on the organizational chart, the greater part you can play in eliminating the causes of poor morale. But do not let the fact that you are not high on the occupational totem pole discourage you. Recently, I was asked to find the instigator of a wildcat strike. Several notices were posted on the bulletin board calling the men out on strike at a tool and die company in the midwest. Management selected the ten possible suspects. I was given their last production report and their personnel data form. For the Astral helpers to do their job, it is necessary that you have something that has been in the hands of the person or persons whom you need to in­ vestigate. I read all of the material given me and then put it away for 24 hours. My Astral helpers did the investigating and gave me the name of the man who posted the notices and instigated the strike. Of course, the guilty man denied that he had anything to do with it. The management then called in a handwriting expert who worked over the same papers, including the notices. Of course, he was look­ ing for the person who wrote the notices. He came up with the same

88

How To Use the M agic Formula R-C-C

name, but his fee was $500.1 charged them $50. The guilty man final­ ly admitted that he was the one. This was the first step in bringing about better morale within the plant. A laboratory technician was convinced that he had found a good job. His boss turned out to be a thorn in the side of the whole research organization. On more than one occasion, the president of the company had considered firing this man. The department head was constantly looking for another job. The laboratory technician knew about my work and decided that he would ask his Astral helpers to take over. He was told what he might do to help out. As the weeks passed, it became evident that unseen forces were at work. Personal relations improved so strikingly that it was obvious that some force outside the persons involved was at work. Of course, the laboratory technician knew where the positive influence came from. Apparently his boss did not realize how much he had changed. I have made it clear that your Astral helpers can change per­ sonalities, develop leadership qualities and promote better labor rela­ tions. Those eager helpers have plenty of time to study your problems. They will tell you when to expand, diversify, close out or move to other locations. As an employee or an employer, you owe it to yourself to release the best within you. Your Astral helpers will be there if you want them. You can tap their endless power, ideas, intelligence, sugges­ tions and plans, I know—-for I have put my Astral helpers to work for over 25 years and they love it. They never let me down and they will not let you down either. Are You Flooded With All Types of Riches? Unfortunately, the only riches many people collect during their work life relate to money. I have tried to make it clear that that is not enough. Actually, your magic formula will bring more money than you need easily and promptly. However, your life is not complete without mental, emotional and spiritual riches. These are even more important than material benefits. A full life cannot be created without Astral Power. It is there for you to use—so use it.

6. Helping Yourself With Astral Power Can Make You A Leader, Dominating Your Business And Social World As a college teacher, I was often called upon to give talks before service and other community groups. Until I knew better, I followed the usual pattern of preparing my talk and reading it word for word, or preparing copious notes that I referred to constantly. I got away with this method for some time, just as the great ma­ jority of speakers do. However, one evening my speech fell flat and I was very embarrassed. Did you ever see any really good speaker use notes or read his speech? No! Of course not. I have given hundreds of talks since, but I have never fully prepared the talk before going before the group. Now I get up and make a few preliminary remarks while my mind becomes tuned to the needs and wishes of the group. You will be surprised to really be able to tell what your audience is thinking. You can actually point out any person who is thinking funny things about you. I often stop my speech and point them out, making a joke out of the occasion rather than making anyone angry. You can pull surprises on your audience just as I do many times. Astral power and my Astral helpers make all of this possible. I can now give the type of speech my audience wants to hear. If I have their undivided attention, the words flow out without effort and I have no fear. I am not nervous and no one in my audience keeps looking at his watch or is glad when I quit talking. I generally feel the need to talk longer than planned. No one gets up and walks out. I literally have to walk out on my audience or the questions would keep coming for a long time. 89

Astral Power Can Make You a Leader

Expert use of my magic formula will not only make it possible for you to pick up the thoughts of your Astral friends, but of anyone on the physical plane. ESP is as easy as 1, 2, 3. As I later listen to a tape recording of what I said, I am amazed. I always ask myself, “ Did that come out of me?” Good Leaders Are In Tune With Their Community The residents of Elliott’s community regarded him as very for­ tunate. He did not have to work because he had a large income made possible by reading a book on how to get rich. He was often called upon to speak or be chairman of committees. He always accepted reluctantly and seldom did a good job. Elliott’s life was truly impoverished. He was bored. He could not lead. The community knew all of this, but did not know why. I got him on the right track. “What a change has come over Elliott!” people would say. “We really enjoyed his last talk,” others would say. “ Elliott seems so hap­ py and contented with his life now,” still others would remark. The World Is Now Ready For the Full Release of Astral Power While we respect and appreciate all forms on the tree of life, we know that humans have the most unique possibilities. We no longer need to work long hours to keep the elements of nature from destroy­ ing us. We have finally harnessed many of these elements for con­ structive use, directing their power for our good. Man has the possibilty of being freer than he ever was, yet millions are still not liberated. Over the past ten thousand years, there have been many wars and social revolutions. They are still going on today. However, the greatest revolution of all is about to take place. You can become a charter member of that revolution, The readers of my book have dis­ covered that only through removing the sheath and freeing your in­ ner, God-given self, can we have instant wealth, health and those qualities that make us leaders in our business and social world. I am revealing to you how it is possible for extraordinary power and ways of life to become reality for you. It is now possible for you to rise from the rubble caused by negative physical forces. Some would call these forces that we do not want the work of the devil. Your outer life can now truly be a direct reflection of your inner self through Astral power skillfully applied by your staff of Astral helpers.

A Successful Businessman Becomes a Leader Out of the thousands of cases that I have seen, Ronald now comes to mind. He was a successful businessman with a nice home, a beautiful wife and two children. He had all the material wealth he needed. His animal nature was well cared for. I taught him how to release his spiritual nature. I revealed to him how to apply my magic formula so that he could put meaning into his life. He now is looked up to and respected by all who know him. it goes without saying that his happiness is complete. Like Ronald, all of us live in a physical world subject to physical and man-made laws. You can live your life this way if you wish. No one will stop you. One day, you will die and be buried. W hat has such a life accomplished? W hat part of such a life lives on as a guide to those who follow? You know the answer to that question. Recently, I saw on a television show the devastation caused by a tornado at Xenia, Ohio. Over half the town was destroyed. Natural­ ly, there was much to do to bring some kind of order out of the almost total destruction. Yet, the pictures indicate many just finding a place to sit down. Others even had to bring them donuts and coffee. To live a full life, you must live in a multidimensional way. You must release the power within your self and not just live in the physical dimension with its five senses. Let me repeat that the vast majority live in only a physical dimension. Even those who attend.church regularly do not get above the purely physical. They hear their minister talk about G od and the afterlife, but it means nothing to them. As one person once told me: “ I’ll wait and take my chances when I get there.” Actually, they do not even know where they are going. While in a meditating situation, I have viewed hundreds of such people on the spirit side of life, wandering around after death, still not knowing that there is anything above the purely physical.

To Feel, Taste, Smell and Hear on a Physical Level Is Not Enough Since learning my formula, you know that the preceding is true. You can relax, concentrate and raise your vibrations above the physical level. Your Astral helpers have let you see them at least once. You can pick up their thoughts. At times you can feel them or you may be able to hear them—but all of these are sensations above the physical level.

If, in a meditating situation, you should hear one of your spirit friends tap on a table or if he or she should let you see them momen­ tarily, that does not mean that anyone not in a meditating situation could hear or see on the Astral level. Jackie Susann is with me now. She is one of my Astral helpers helping me write this book. How can I prove that she is here? I have seen her. I have picked up her thoughts. I have heard her talk to me. How can Jackie prove that she is here? The answer is that neither one of us can prove it to the scientific mind—but we both know that it is true. We both know that we are in each other’s presence. I know that she is putting thoughts into my mind. She knows that these thoughts are influencing my thinking and writing. Don’t try to prove the existence of Astral power or Astral helpers to anyone. Tell others to prove it to themselves. That is the only type of proof that means anything. And while I am at it, let me tell you never to become a part of any experiment conducted by “ Doubting Thomases.” All you need to do is prove what I have told you to yourself. Your bankbook, increased happiness, better health or protection from the criminal forces of the world are all the proof you need. Mental-Action Images Can Make You a Leader Did you know that the Astral force, that can be measured in a scientific laboratory around a tadpole, is in the exact shape of the frog that it will become? Developing mental-action images, while in a meditating situation, of you as you desire yourself to be, creates an Astral force around you that will result in your becoming that person, just as the force around the tadpole creates a frog. Billie Jean King, the well-know tennis star, uses mental-action images to rehearse for every match. She imagines vivid pictures of hitting perfect strokes over and over again. She claims that this exer­ cise helps her repeat perfect strokes on the courts. If she would only use my complete formula, she really would be a tennis star that no one could beat. Margaret created mental-action images that put meaning, pur­ pose and majesty into her life as she applied my magic formula. She is no longer just a good housewife and mother. She took up a cause— truth in advertising. Today, Margaret is a leader and an authority who has done much to clean up false advertising. First, her perceptions of this type of leadership were purely mental. God said, “ Let there be light [men­ tal] and there was light [physical].” Now Margaret’s perceptions are a valuable reality of her life.

Now You Can Know You Know As you become more skillful in releasing your inner self, you are becoming attuned to the universal storehouse of knowledge. Your more complete self now knows that it knows. All great people, international statesmen, inventors, leaders in all walks of life, can now understand each other. All of our modern methods of communication become insignificant by comparison. The Political Leader of the Future Will Know William has all the material things he wants. He got them by ap­ plying my Magic Formula. But he felt the need for something else. As his inner self unfolded, he began more and more to understand what was needed in the political field. During his meditation period, he formed images of himself at the next political meeting. He would say to himself, “Tomorrow at 8pm, I will be at the headquarters. At that time, it is the deepest wish of my mind that ideas come into my consciousness so that I can really make a contribution. I want to really know.” From then on, whenever he was in a political situation, ideas flooded his mind. Others began to have faith in him. He created a political path for himself, a path that did not become filled with rub­ ble and weeds, but one that led him straight to a seat in Congress. Why Many Doctors’ Diagnoses Are Incorrect It is an actual fact that post-mortems prove that 75 percent of doctors’ diagnoses are incorrect. Dr. C. is a well-known surgeon whose services are in great de­ mand. He is called a natural doctor. He always seems to know what to do. Eminent diagnosticians also know. They may look at all the charts, lab reports, x-rays, etc., but it is that extra something that comes from the inner self that makes them great. This is equally true for a salesman. He is told what the product will do, but he does not stop there. He tunes in on his prospective purchaser in such a way that the sale is easy. Exercises to Help You Know The next time your phone rings, try this experiment. Let it ring a few times as you center your mind on the caller. What kind of a person is calling? Is it someone you know? What does he or she want? Is the caller a man or a woman, a child or an adult?

94

Astral Power Can Make You a Leader

You will need to answer the phone before you can try to pick up all the things that might come into your mind. Use a different set of questions each time. Is the caller in a good or an angry mood? Is it a social or business call? Exactly what is the message that the caller will give you? Is it Mr. Smith? Is it your husband or wife? Is it the in­ surance man? Is it your next door neighbor? Here is another exercise that you will find valuable. Before you go on a shopping trip, spend a few moments asking questions and getting the answers. Who will you see that you know? Will you see someone that you would rather not run into? Will you be able to get. all the items you have on your list? If the weather is threatening, will it rain before you get back? Your Inner Self Is Filled With Knowledge—Release It Your personal, business and social life will all benefit if you will be able to say that you know. You can acquire knowledge without using reason or gaining experience. To know will make you a leader and will result in your commanding the respect of others. To know puts you at the top and keeps you there. This power can come only as you learn to apply my formula, R-C-C. Review of First Six Chapters Astral Power is the most powerful force in the universe. Through this book, you are learning to release your inner self so that you can tap this great power to bring you wealth, health and hap­ piness. Whether it is a hard-to-sell house, changing business failure into business success, creating a rich sex and home life, protecting yourself and property, or maintaining good health, your fully opened inner self will make you realize all of your heart’s desires. You are learning to dial all frequencies within your mind so that there can be communication back and forth to all levels of yourself. You are no longer tuned to one small physical station of life. You have already changed the highly limited idea that you had of yourself. Remember: there are no limitations to your inner self. There are no boundaries to enclose it or deny freedom. There is plenty of evidence in the Bible that God did not intend us to live in poverty or ill health, or miss out on any of the grand things that can take place on this earth, including the greatest of all—

love. So stop being “ little old you” and move out of the little corner of life that you now occupy,

Exercise to Open Up Your Inner Self Important I want you to keep performing the exercise I told you about in Chapter 1 until you can really sense Astral power flowing through your body. There is so much of this power that it is flowing out of your hands, feet and body like the rays of the sun. Keep telling yourself that this is real; it is not your imagination. Keep repeating to yourself that this all-powerful Astral power is yours as God intended it to be.

Your Inner Self Is Ready The abilities of your inner self have been ready since your birth. You did not even know that they were there. They have been ready to produce miracles for you and your family. All the wealth and good things in life have been yours since birth, but you now realize this for the first time because I have told you so. Fortunately for you, some of this power has slipped through in spite of your attempt to block what you thought was a leak. Open the dam and let the Astral power flood your whole life.

All Perceptions Are First Mental God said, “ Let there be Light” and there was light. I am teaching you how to change thoughts, mental-action images and feel­ ing tones into physical reality. You surely do not want to be like the farmer who was still using kerosene lamps when electricity was available. This farmer did not see electricity as a reality. Your bank balance is $55. Make a mental image of it being $55,000 and apply my formula—-and it will be $55,000, You want to bet? Medical doctors cannot understand how Astral power and Astral helpers can cure bone cancer or any other disease. Your inner self does not follow the laws of physics or principles set up by man. The physical is only a small insignificant part of the universe. Your inner self s perceptions are mental and not even dependent upon time and space, as the majority of people believe them to be. If God should say “ Let the earth, except for one small area and six men and women, cease to exist,” it would disappear. The men left

96

would start looking for the wreckage. There would be none anywhere. When an Astral helper sees a normal bone in the body of a person with bone cancer and then changes it into an actual physical bone, the cancer is cured.

How to Begin and End Your Day Please turn back to the last part of Chapter 1. It is very impor­ tant that you carry out these instructions. They furnish a base for the successful functioning of my magic formula.

My Magic Formula is R-C-C The R stands for relaxation. Please learn to relax your mind and body as directed in Chapter 2. It is much easier to release Astral power if the body is relaxed. You will very soon be able to let go very quickly, but first get the idea of how to let go and relax your mind. Breathing is very important, so read these pages carefully and follow the instructions in them.

Learning to Develop Mental-Action Images is Vital to the Success of My Magic Formula You have reached the desired goal when your images seem so real that you are totally unaware of your physical surroundings, in­ cluding your own body. You do this by learning to concentrate. I have given you the necessary excercise to help you learn to con­ centrate in Chapter 2. Remember that it is the mental-action image (perception) that becomes physical reality.

How Not to Concentrate Doorbell again, mailman I hope. . . Must get this skirt done soon. Wonder if it will rain today? My violets are in bloom. Wintertime will soon be here, . . Gee, but this day is long. The kitchen’s in a mess again, The cat, where has he gone?

Astra! Power Can Make You a Leader

97

I wonder where K ate’s going. . . So, it’s chicken again for dinner. Jim is working much too hard. Gee, I must be getting thinner. W ho’s going in next door? I used to like to swim. The leaves need raking today, The bathroom light’s too dim. Forgot to pay the electric bill. . . Is that woman’s skirt too tight? Why can’t I get this done? Yes, it’s T V again tonight. Thinks she’s smart, but I. . . Should it be green, red or blue? A nn’s probably in Detroit by now. Where’s my cigarettes and glue?

It is important for you to remember that putting mentalaction images in your mind of what you want your life to be like will result in these images being materialized into physical reality. Your mind should always be wishing and your whole objective should be to realize your wishes in fact. All of your goals, everything you seek to do or be, whether negative or positive, are the products of your imagination. As you move toward your goals, imagination gives way to reality. Most people get what they expect, not what they really want. Think about that statement for a moment. Do you really want a lot of money or do you expect to be poor? Do you really want to marry a beautiful girl and have a wonderful love life, or do you expect that you will take what you can get and try to make the best of it?

Getting Your First Proof of the Spirit World I suggested in Chapter 2 that you keep working at the exercise to see silver streaks all around you, especially out-ofdoors. These silver streaks are your spirit friends or persons on the spirit side of life. Space everywhere is filled with Astral helpers. As you meditate, you will momentarily see them. They are all young and beautiful. Everything is a matter of frequencies or vibrations. Physical things, whether it is your body or the chair you sit on, vibrate at a

98

Astral Power Can Make You a Leader

lower rate. As you visit your spirit friends through Astral projection, you will discover that they are just as solid as you are.

Psychic Space Travel Exciting I hope that you have had at least one Astral space trip by the time you read these lines. You can go anywhere on the earthly plane or the Astral plane. I suggest that you have one of your Astral helpers show you around until you become a veteran at space travel. All you need to do is get relaxed, form a vivid mental-action im­ age of yourself going somewhere and your Astral helper being with you. and then take off. Leave your physical body in a safe place until you return.

Applying the Total Magic Formula The first step: is to put your mind in order. Clear out all negative thoughts and emotions. Check your faith. Do you really believe what you have read so far? The second step : is to check your breathing. While meditating, reduce your breathing to a deep six to ten times a minute. Make cer­ tain that you can let go quickly and relax without going through the total relaxation exercise. Do not meditate immediately after your meals. The third step', for Astral Projection and general relaxing and meditation, lie down on a comfortable bed or couch. For specific meditation to develop mental-action images that can be materialized into reality to bring you wealth and health, sit in a straight chair with your feet flat on the floor. Always use a good blindfold to cut out all vision. The fourth step: concerns protection against evil spirits. Always ask for it (see Chapter 4). In the third factor of contemplation of “ oneness with G od,” you are raising your vibrations so that all con­ sciousness of the physical is gone. You are now ceasing to be a pup­ pet on a string being pushed and jerked around by people, groups or unknown forces. You are gaining control over yourself and gaining respect of higher spirit forms in the Astral world. The fifth step : concerns developing a staff of Astral helpers. Find out who your spirit guide is first. He or she has been with you 24 hours a day since you were born. It is time you gave him or her a break and start paying some attention to your guide. Later you can apply for a Master Teacher.

Please review carefully the information I have given you in Chapter 3 concerning developing your staff of Astral helpers. One thing is certain: your Astra! helpers will want to take you on a trip through the Astral world. By all means, go.

Evil Forces Are All Around Us Being afraid of the evil forces on the earth does not solve any problems for you. Fear does not solve the problem of evil forces on the Astral level either. in Chapter 4, I have told you all about evil forces. I have told you how to keep them out of your life. Later, you will learn how to keep the criminal element away from you here on earth. Your first job is to stop thinking about evil anywhere in the uni­ verse. If you believe that all men are evil, you will never experience any goodness in humans. D on’t believe in the devil or you will surely find him. I have written what I consider a very complete account of evil everywhere. I have told you how to keep it out of your life. Please re­ read this whole chapter to make certain that you have freed yourself from any forces that may make your positive application of my magic formula difficult.

Suggestions For Full Use of My Magic Formula 1. Meditate at least once every day. Start your meditation period with a prayer—the Lord’s Prayer is a fine beginning. Aiso, remember that you can apply the formula at any time without notice. However, one quiet meditation period a day will bring wonderful results. 2. Adjust your mental-action images to fit the need. If it is a job you want, picture yourself actually in the job. If you are an employer hiring people, picture the details on the application blank and ask for guidance. If you wish to bring in a spirit friend, picture this friend vividly in your mind. Use a photograph of the person if you have one. Ask them to come in. If it is wealth or health that you desire, picture yourself with wealth or perfect physical health. 3. In carrying out the third factor of the formula—contemplation-— put your attention on the middle of your forehead—the third eye loca­ tion. See a shaft of white light ascending from this “third eye” straight

Astral Power Can M ake You a Leader

up to God. Keep repeating to yourself “higher vibrations, oneness with God; higher vibrations, oneness with God.” Keep holding this image in your mind and repeating these words until all awareness of the physical world is held in abeyance. 4. Your meditation period should last about 30 minutes. 5. Asking questions from the “Universal Mind” is very valuable. It is best to ask these questions while meditating, but the time will come when you can close your eyes and contact the Universal Mind instant­ ly. Example: “Universal Mind, please come in. I would like to know whether or not I should change jobs in the near future.” You will hear a voice or pick up thoughts as follows: “The answer to your question is no. You should not change jobs now. There are no better jobs available for you at the moment. Stay where you are.” The Universal Mind will give you sound advice; however, to create a new situation of better health, more wealth, etc., use mental-action images. If you do not hear a voice or pick up thoughts, you need to learn to meditate better, The time will come when your vibra­ tions will continue to be on a higher level at all times.

7. How To Use Your Magic R-C-C Formula To Reach Your Most Cherished Goals You are now well qualified to move toward your most cherished goal in life. Just like all the famous persons in history, you are going to move toward great achievements. The path ahead will be clearly visible and most appealing to you. Your first step is to find out if whatever you are trying to ac­ complish is right for you. You now have at your command all the powerful forces you need to light the best road ahead for you. You are ready to move down that road at high speed. Peter Received Rewards Beyond His Greatest Expectations Peter was not unlike most boys. When he grew up, he wanted to be a fireman. In the old days, it was the fondest desire of boys to be a railroad engineer. Now many boys dream of becoming a pilot on a jet plane. But Peter’s goals kept changing. He went from one job to another, but was never satisfied. The grass always looked greener on the other side of the road. One night, after 1 had talked to Peter and explained my system, he had a very lifelike dream, it seemed that his whole life passed in review. However, the best part of the dream pointed toward a goal that he had often thought about, although he never did anything to move toward this goal. He went back to college. Peter is now a very successful patent attorney. There is no system in print today or any psychic who could help you as much as my system helped Peter. I have told you that all new 101

102

How to Reach Your M ost Cherished Goals

and creative ideas, images or perceptions come exclusively from the Astral world. Thomas Edison knew this. Few persons in the history of the world ever made a greater contribution to life on earth. Peter is now a great help to his clients because he can contact ex­ perts in the Astral world who put the finishing touches on the item to be patented. Thus, months and even years of research on the earth plane are not necessary. Have you any idea how much money is spent on research per year in this country? The University of Michigan received over 60 million dollars last year to carry on research in many areas, in most cases, all research has been completed on the Astral plane years ago. Do I need to tell you that Peter’s greatness includes more money than he can possibly use in his lifetime?

I Am Very Proud of William (Dr, C.) Many people in all walks of life are very happy with their ex­ istence because they are doing what they want to do. I am very proud of the fact that I have helped so many turn on Astral power. (It’s free— never another utility bill.) William, as a high school graduate, did not have the faintest idea of what he wanted to do with his life. He is now president of the most renowned university in the East. He never ceases showing his ap­ preciation to me for helping him select a goal and move toward it. Many types of wealth came into his life through Astral power. You were born into this physical world for a specific purpose. Unfortunately, you cannot possibly know what that purpose is unless you live a more complete life than the earth by itself provides. Your inner self holds the key to your life goal. You must tap Astral power; you must call upon your Astral helpers to discover why you are here. It is only through Astral power and Astral helpers that you can achieve your full life purposes and most earnest desires. You must live on more than the physical dimension of the universe. William was made to understand that he would some day be president of a great university. He had enough faith in my system to accept the findings and move toward this goal. He was told to take one step at a time and then the next step would be made clear to him. His Astra! helpers did not let him down and they will not let you down either.

How Gladys Became a Great Artist Many young people have goals that they would like to move toward. However, innumerable physical blocks get into the way. Many parents discourage or forbid their children’s efforts to move toward a cherished goal. Gladys always wanted to be a great artist. Even as a little girl she dreamed of painting pictures that would inspire large numbers of people. She finally persisted against all the criticism of her parents, friends and teachers. Her pictures were good, but not great. She was about to become convinced that perhaps her critics were correct. Perhaps, she thought, she should forget the whole thing. It was then that I came into the picture. I told her how beautiful the Astral world is. I sold her on the idea of following my formula so that she could learn Astral projection. I told her that she could then visit the Astral world and paint what she saw. If only someone would invent a camera that could be used to photograph the Astral World! I am certain it will become a reality someday. Today, Gladys has just about the whole Astral art field to herself. She not only has very little competition, but her pictures are attracting world-wide attention. The Astral quality that she paints into her pictures has made her famous and wealthy. She has reached her cherished goal.

Get What You Want—Not What You Expect The power to get what you want resides within you this very minute. For too many people, it has waited all their lives, never being used to make the work of their hands more perfect, the words of their voices more vital to the good life or the ideas within their minds a po­ tent reality. Some people don’t want anything, so they expect and get nothing. Once and for all, let me tell you again that you should fully realize that you are a part of God. You can throw open the gate of consciousness and realize that God put you here on earth to repre­ sent Him. You have a cherished goal—so get on with the work of finding out what it is and fully realizing that nothing can stop you

104

How to Reach Your M ost Cherished Goals

from getting what you want. You have all the power o f God within you and don't you ever forget it. How often have I heard people say, “W hat's the use—Tom, Dick and Harry get all the breaks.” You do not need to be president of the U nited States to use the physical, mental and spiritual qualities God gave you. You are a million times better than you think you are. You are here to do G od’s work. This does not mean that you must suffer the tortures of the damned. It means that you can release power to provide health, wealth and happiness while moving toward your cherished goal.

Clifford Now Has Something to Be Proud Of Clifford had a cherished goal. It was to be a good businessman, providing a worthwhile service to the ordinary man. Clifford always hated to go to reunions of any kind—school, army, or what have you. He always had to listen to others bragging about their great prosperity. Clifford is an insurance salesman. He was a success but not out­ standing. My magic formula did the trick. He can now tell all his friends that he has made the five million dollar club. M y Formula Is So Simple to Use

A few days ago, I was repeating some nonsense syllables that were supposed to bring forth great things instantly. I never could make any of them work. One of my Astral helpers suddenly appeared and said: “ W hat in the world are you doing? Forget all that rubbish or you will have no Astral helpers at your beck and call. We are real people with real names, the same names you knew us by when on earth—we are not symbols or impersonal forces. So stop reading all that garbage. Stick to your magic formula.” There is no hocus-pocus about my system. D on’t be misled by the tons of trash on the market today. The forces other books talk about just don’t exist. Under my system, I have talked with Franklin D. Roosevelt, Stephen Foster, Edgar Cayce, Benjamin Franklin, Benjamin H ar­ rison (he is one of my Master Teachers), Bishop Pike and many other friends and relatives. Norm a Jean Baker and Jackie Susann are on my staff of Astral helpers. I have my own personal physician, a man we knew when he lived on earth. He was our family doctor. His name is Dr. Townsley.

Isn’t ail this worth a lot more than mumbling a lot of nonsense symbols and trying to call in hocus-pocus forces with weird names? How to Find Your Ultimate Goal in Life If you have progressed to the point where you have been granted the services of a master teacher, finding your ultimate life goal is easy—just ask your teacher and he will tell you. If you do not yet have a master teacher, call in one of your Astral helpers. Your helper will take you to the plane where there is a reflection of the Akashic Records. The official, permanent Akashic Records are on a rather high Astral plane, but you can easily reach the reflected Akashic Record level through Astral projection. When you arrive, your Helper will find someone to interpret your records. You will be told what your ultimate goal should be and what you need to do to get on the right track. Living With Your Astral Helpers is a Very Fulfilling Experience Every friend of ours who has developed any psychic awareness, notices the wondrous feeling tone that permeates our home. This is because several of our spirit friends are always with us. There is never a lonesome feeling in our home. We always feel that we are sur­ rounded by forces of love, empathy and deep devotion. Right now, as I write these lines, many colored dots of light are momentarily ap­ pearing on the paper. Norma Jean, Jackie and Virginia are near me. When we need a doctor, it takes less than ten seconds to get Dr. Townsley here. There is no need to call a doctor, wait days for an ap­ pointment and wait hours in his office. Our spirit doctor is here in less than ten seconds. He has also helped many of our friends. At least four of our spirit friends stay with us while we sleep. They see to it that we get the rest we need. They provide us with love, comfort and understanding. As we sit in our living room, we know that several of our spirit friends are with us. Sometimes, they enter into the conversation. For example, one evening we were trying to remember the name of the leading actor’s wife in the television show. We could not think of it. Ralph Taylor, who was my master teacher then, spoke up in his slow, low voice, “Natalie Wood.” “ You are right, Ralph,” we replied. “ I am not as dumb as you think I am,” was Ralph’s reply, as we all had a good laugh. Your spirit friends will be with you on trips. They will even go shopping with you. Recently, I bought a pair of shoes. In attempting

106

How to Reach Your M ost Cherished Goals

to decide, I narrowed my selection down to two pairs. Which one should I buy, I wondered? A white light appeared on one pair, so that was the pair I bought. If you have trouble locating some item in a shopping center, just close your eyes and ask for help. One of your helpers will tell you where it is or guide you there. If you forget an item, you will suddenly remember where it is. Suppose you are on a trip. The thought comes to your mind that you could use a cup of coffee and a roll, or lunch or dinner. Just keep driving down the highway. When one of your helpers locates a suitable place, he or she will flash a light at the place where you should turn in. If you come to a fork in the highway and are not sure whether you should bear right or left, don't worry, A bright light will appear on the right road. Even if you know exactly where to go, you will see bright lights in the trees or on bridges as you go down the highway. Your friends keep telling you that they are with you. Some of your spirit friends will ride in the car with you. Some prefer to fly on ahead and make sure you get where you want to go. You Can Make Friends With Many Fine People Whom You Have Not Met Before I never knew Jackie Susann before she passed to spirit. I did en­ joy reading her books. I never met Mary Jo Kopechne. We know her very well now. She is with us most of the time. We always liked Norm a Jean Baker (Marilyn Monroe), but never met her until about one year ago. She is right here now as I write these lines telling me to say “ Hi” to you and sending her love. She is a very lovely person. Just stop for a moment and think of all the wonderful friends you can have if you use my formula and live on more than one dimension of the universe. The time will come when your vibrations will stay at a rather high level so that you can always be conscious of your many Astral friends and the power they can bring to you. Be Careful to Select the Right Helper to Bring in Important Spirit Personalities I have been most fortunate in this respect. My wife’s mother, Lenna, contacts all the spirits that I wish to have on my staff or those I wish to interview. She is really good. I believe that she would bring in Winston Churchill if I asked her to. She seems to really know her way around. That is important.

How to Reach Your Most Cherished Goals

107

Be careful to select a helper who can really bring in important people to help you live a full life and gain prosperity, health, wealth and happiness. Learn to identify Your Astral Helpers Until you are able to see your helpers’ auras, you will need to learn to recognize their identifying lights. The great majority use a white light. Some of them use a blue light. Norm a Jean sprays you with thousands of pinpoint lights. When I meditate, all my spirit friends flash their lights in the same location every time they come in. For example, Virginia flashes a blue light directly to my right; Phyllis, to the upper right; Mary Jo, farther to the right; Jackie, to the lower right. There are others to my left, far left, above and below, etc. You will generally pick up a name as they flash their light. Even­ tually, you will see their beautiful auras and occasionally, you will see them standing right beside or in front of you. You see all of this best with a blindfold on. The more physical light that you shut out, the brighter the Astral lights, auras or images. Be Satisfied With Only the Best Churchill once made the remark, “ I am easily satisfied with only the best." I often feed the outside birds slices of bread. I break them up into small pieces, but some larger pieces slip through. It is in­ teresting to watch the birds. Some will fight over a few crumbs while others grab a large piece and fly away. If there is one thing that you should be able to do now, it is to see your whole life as it should be and not dwell on little unimportant bits of your life. I have known of men who actually refused prom o­ tions because they did not want to assume responsibility. Christ Turned Water Into Wine As the story goes, Christ was attending a wedding. They ran out of wine, so pots of water were brought before Christ and he turned the water into wine. Until recently, scientists would have told you that this would be impossible. Modern scientists are not so sure that it can’t be done. A knowledge of Astral law indicates that it can be done very easily just as Christ did it. I once had a college student who did not like water. She was brought up in a community where the drinking water tasted terrible. I put her in a hypnotic trance and told her that water would now taste

108

How to Reach Your M ost Cherished Goals

like her favorite soft drink—Coca Cola. I saw her several years later and she told me that water still tasted like Coca Cola to her. Think of all the money she saved. Another hypnotic subject of mine wanted to reduce her intake of sugar. I told her while she was in a trance that her coffee would taste sweet just like it did before the hypnotic suggestion was made. She was well pleased with the results. However, one day, she forgot and put sugar in her coffee. W hat do you suppose happened? Why, it was so sweet that she could not drink it. 1 had another student who suffered from the heat every summer. While she was in a trance, I told her that she would always feel com­ fortably cool no matter how hot it was during the summer. W hat I actually did was air-condition her. Many years later, she told me that she no longer suffered from the heat. You can do these same things and many more for yourself or others through meditation, mental-action images and full use of my magic formula. If the water of life does not measure up, you can change it through the release of Astral power. Through the use of my formula, you can direct your consciousness from a lower to a higher level. You can release that inner potential which has been idle for years. Moving toward goals, making money, overcoming health problems, living on a high dimensional level, experiencing love and a beautiful relationship in your marriage or becoming a leader in your community—all become easy. Christ turned water into wine. You can turn a purely physical existence into anything your heart desires. You can reverse emotions from hate to love, nervousness to calmness or sadness to happiness. You can change your whole personality. The laws of the physical world will keep you in bondage. The laws of the Astral world will set you free. Concentration—the Key to Success Hypnosis is simply a high degree of concentration. I have told you how pin-point concentration can change you physically. If you tell a person in a hypnotic trance that he is cold—he will literally be cold. If you tell him to see a beautiful scene while he is looking at a slum area, he will see beauty. Hold a dollar bill in front of him and tell him that it is now a $100 bill, and it will be a hundred dollar bill. The images that you put in his mind are materialized into reality. You can show a person in a trance blank cards and tell him that

they are colored pictures of himself or scenes in Mexico, etc., and he will see just what you said they pictured. Years later, he will still see the same pictures on the blank cards. The lesson to be learned from hypnosis is that concentrating on mental-action images (C in the formula) produces reality. This is true whether or not your desires are for a healthy body, a beautiful wife, a million dollars or to move toward a cherished goal. Concentration is also very important in raising your vibrations so that you can tune in your Astral helpers and Astral power. Actually, when you meditate successfully you put yourself in a light trance, eliminating all awareness of the physical environment around you. Your mental-action images then become so real that miracles can happen, you can take off through Astral projection and your Astral helpers are in there pitching for you. A Beautiful True Story of a Cherished Goal There were probably many beautiful women living in the Holy land at the time of Christ. However, there was one who was more beautiful than any of the others because of her God-like qualities that radiated from her physical body. She was very much interested in the healing that she saw Jesus accomplish. She was present on many occasions when Jesus healed the sick or restored life to those who had apparently passed to spirit. It was her cherished goal to be able to do just a few of the things that Jesus did. It seemed so easy for Him. She concentrated on that goal, it was always in her mind. This very divine woman returned to earth several times after liv­ ing in the Holy land at the time of Christ. To be able to heal the sick was always her goal. She often wondered why she was so strongly motivated to work with the sick and all unfortunate people. Of course, she did not know where this cherished goal originated. All that she knew was that she must work to bring people to Christ and help them, physically mentally and spiritually. About 80 years ago, she again appeared on earth. This goal was stronger than ever. Even as a little girl, her thoughts were of healing the sick. She was born into a poor family, but that did not stop her. At an early age, she started out preaching the gospel, leading people to Jesus. How easy this must have been for her, for she at one time had lived in the presence of Jesus.

She was an itinerant minister for years, going from place to place, always bright with hope and never losing faith in herself or what the teachings of Christ could do for people. She was often hungry. She slept in hay lofts or out in the open. She had no money and very few earthly possessions, but she had Jesus and her goal, She had complete faith in G od—that was all that she needed. Finally, she was able to settle down in one place with a con­ gregation of her own. One Sunday, she noticed that several of her members had been healed of rather serious diseases. As the weeks passed, more and more persons were healed, in just the way Jesus had healed people 2,000 years before. The word spread rapidly until hundreds were seeking her help. Although she is probably still un­ aware of how all this healing art started, she had reached her cherished goal. Today, dressed in a different physical body, she is the same beautiful woman who followed Jesus 2,000 years ago as he healed the sick. i am certain that you can fully understand that this true story could never come to light unless someone lived and communicated on more than one dimension of the universe. My Master Teacher told me this story the day this now famous follower of Christ appeared in Ann Arbor before 15,000 people to heal many of a wide variety of illnesses, including terminal bone cancer cases. As I sat in meditation at the Chrysler Arena while the healing was taking place, I saw 12 Astral helpers going about the business of healing. This now famous woman calls the healing force “ the Holy Spirit.” 1 call it Astral power. During this revelation my master teacher told me that she now is the symbol of Christ. Her Astral helpers are the symbols of the twelve disciples of Christ. She is now doing what Christ did 2,000 years ago. At that time, she wanted the power to heal. Today, she has that power. She has reached her cherished goal. Unless she reads this ac­ count, she will probably go on not realizing that she has Astral helpers. She has proved beyond a shadow of doubt that my system works best with the help of Astral helpers. I am certain that you have all heard of the now famous Kathryn Kuhlman. A Tip From a Famous Author I thought that I had finished this chapter. However, I am pleased

that I have the opportunity to bring a message to you from a very famous author and one of my Astral helpers. Jackie Susann was beautifully materialized a few mornings ago. 1 never cease marveling at how beautiful our spirit friends are, and Jackie is no exception. She has a very original idea that she wants me to tell you about. Better yet, let her tell it herself: “ If I had only known what I know now, I would have written the first spirit-oriented novel. It is too late for me, but not for the readers of Dr. M acNitt’s book. “ My suggestion is for any persons who have writing ability to write the first novel based on characters from the Astral world. What a powerful plot you could develop! I became so excited when I thought of this idea that I had to materialize myself and tell Dr. Mac Nitt about it. “ Follow the doctor’s magic formula. Learn Astral projection and see for yourself what an original and most wonderful novel you can write. I will be glad to help you if you are really serious about writing this novel. You can find me at the ‘Mother Bacon Astral Configuration’.”—Jackie Susann I Have Reached My Cherished Goal With the aid of my master teachers, Astral helpers and Astral projection, I have learned a great deal about several of my former lives on earth. You can do the same with the full use of my magic for­ mula. I have regressed to my life in Boston during the American Revolution. I was a businessman. Paul Revere woke me up the night of his famous ride. I have regressed to a former life in Scotland. I built a castle at Donderave on Loch Fyne. My name was John MacNauchtan and I married a girl by the name of Ann who is now my spirit guide. I have regressed to Rome about the year 900. I was a Roman general. I have regressed to Greece where I found that I was in the shipping business—an ancient Onassis. I have regressed to the year 500 in Arabia. I was an Arabian prince with a harem. My job was to keep the early Christians from killing each other. I myself was killed at the age of 50. I have regressed to the time of Christ. I was an Egyptian businessman living in Jerusalem. I have regressed to the time I was a Brahman priest several thousand years ago. Through Astral projection, I have visited many places where I

formerly lived and loved. Donderave Castle is still there. It has been restored by an English businessman and is now 300 years old. My master teacher recently showed me a copy of my book. Don’t try to figure out Astral time. Just remember that everything is now. Although I have a great deal of writing yet to do, the book is out in the Astral world. Over 200,000 copies have been sold, so they tell me. Just to confuse you still more, when my publishers put this book out, it will be exactly, word for word, cover and all, like the one already available in the Astral world. 1 have reached my cherished goal. This book is my crowning glory. Dozens of Astral helpers have put its concepts into my mind. With the complete use of my magic formula the things that you can do are limitless. It is truly great to live in many dimensions of the universe.

8. How Your Astral Helpers Can Protect You Against Robbery, Theft, Muggings, Rape, Vandalism, Even Death The history of man has been the history of war, criminal and selfish behavior of large numbers, willful destruction, rape and murder. That man has survived at all is a miracle in and of itself. It indicates that the inner self of a few was at work keeping man from destroying himself and all forms of earth life. Total destruction would have otherwise been inevitable. We are particularly conscious of all of these problems now. Will we survive the year 2,000 A.D.? It seems to even be unsafe to go out at night or even in the daytime in some locations. Man has to literally go into his home and “ board it up for the night.” This situation of murder (over 800 in Detroit in 1974), fraudulent and criminal behavior, arson, etc., will continue unabated until a large enough group of people start releasing Astral power by my formula. A New Type of Guidance Needed I am offering you a new type of guidance that very few humans have accepted in the past. As we enter the Age of Aquarius, in which spiritual development will come into its own, there is hope that greater Astral power will change human behavior for the better. We hear ministers talk about the power of prayer. This is their solution. Prayer never stopped the Second World War or any war in the history of man. Prayer never stopped the criminal from commit­ ting crime. In the introduction to my book, I told you about the great 113

How Your Astral Helpers Can Protect You 114 civilization of the Mayans in Central America 10,000 years ago. They tapped Astral power to provide all the good things fn their lives. But they never developed an Astral protection plan, so eventually they were destroyed by Spanish hordes who killed them off and stole or destroyed all of their earthly possessions. The Spaniards brought friars (religious men) with them. These so-called religious men could not understand the Mayan’s superior way of life; they actually believed the Mayans to be uncivilized savages. Even Christ paid with His physical life because the people of His time did not understand His mission and would not change their purely physical, but largely negative, ways of living. For many years, I have often wondered how any man could take the life of another human being. It would not take much for me to be a vegetarian since I respect all forms of life. It really does stir your emotions when you read of people being forced to give up their physical life for a few cents. I never could understand how any man could rape a beautiful woman and then kill the one who gave him physical pleasure. My questions are many and I still do not have the answers. However, I do know that you can protect yourself and your loved ones through full application of my magic formula.

David Found the Way His friends were always warning David about the area he passed through at night to his home from work. There were muggings, rape and even murder in this area. David was not afraid. No one ever bothered him. If they ever did attempt any criminal act, a flash of white Astral light would scare the hell out of them. David’s Astral helpers were on the job. Recently, I answered the door to find a man with a piece of paper in his hand. He wanted to talk to me about something. As he started to enter our apartment, a startled look came over his face and he turned and ran out of the building. My Astral helpers read his mind. They knew that he was up to no good! The Answers to Crime, Wars and All Negative Behavior Are Not Founa in the Physical Our trouble is that we measure everything by our physical senses. We insist on better police and fire protection. We sign treaties

with other nations thinking that this will bring peace. We spend bil­ lions getting ready for war and kid ourselves into thinking that this is the way to bring peace. We tell a woman not to go out alone at night but provide herself with a weapon. Millions of hand guns and rifles are being sold. For important people, we provide bodyguards and secret service men who follow their charges around night and day. W hat a way to live!! We pass thousands of laws for the purpose of controlling physical behavior. We control man’s driving and tell him where he can and cannot go. We even tell him what shows and other forms of entertainment he can see or feel. We also tell him who he can or can­ not marry. Yet, with all of these physical controls, crime and illegal behavior abound.

The Answer Must Come From the Inner Self We will never find the answers to problems of any kind in the purely physical realm. The answers must come from the God within you—your inner self. it is through my formula,—meditation, concentration and contemplation—that you become aware of this Astral power and the Astral helpers who can give you the answers to your problems. Astral Power makes it possible for you to cope with anything you may be called upon to face on the planet earth. However, it is up to you, in every phase of your life, to make use of this great force and the Astral helpers. The force and helpers are there: They have always been there, but billions of people have never found them, it is up to you to tap this wondrous power. God never stopped war and never will. If each person found peace as a result of releasing his inner self, there would be no war. If every person made full use of his Astral helpers, there would be no crime, poverty or sickness.

Alice and Fred Walked Away From a Highway Accident When Alice and Fred walked away from a tragic highway acci­ dent caused by the morning fog and a pile-up of cars, it was un­ believable to many of their friends. Several were killed and many in­ jured. All available ambulances from several nearby towns were called to carry the injured to hospitals. The car in which Alice and Fred were riding was practically destroyed, Their secret? My Astral power protection plan.

Albert Did Not Believe Me

Albert did not believe that there could be a protection plan from the Astral world. He looked at me like he thought I was “touched in the head"—a kook. However, he was willing to give it a try. He told me later that he thought he would be able to prove me wrong. I told him that he would need to be 100 percent for the plan or it would not work. Over a period of 30 days, he left his car unlocked. He walked through dangerous areas with over $100 on him. He gave thugs all the chance in the world to perform some illegal act. He even dropped his pocketbook on a main street with $50 and nine credit cards in it. The pocketbook was returned. Nothing was missing. He could do nothing else but admit that I was right. Rose Finds the Answer

Her friends were always asking Rose why she wasn’t raped or robbed. She would even leave her apartment door unlocked. She always left the keys in her car. Nothing happened. Rose did not bother to explain my plan. She simply showed the questioners a “ lucky charm” that she bought in a novelty store. Of course, the real reason was my Astral protection plan. It Is Up To You

More policemen, more firemen, more laws, more government interference with your life, larger prisons, capital punishment, more organizations for the rehabilitation of the criminal, stiffer fines, etc., are definitely not the answer. For millions of years, man has tried to find a physical answer to his earthly problems. He still depends upon his physical senses—he never seems to learn. He tries to stop war by stockpiling war material and building huge armies, navies, and air forces. If a man destroys your home and kills your wife and children, the court, after spending thousands of dollars and many weeks, sends him to jail if they can find him. God will let anyone persecute you, push you around, steal from you, destroy your property, put you in the hospital or even kill you for no reason at all. It happens millions of times every day—but don’t blame God. He has a plan that you never followed in the past. All of the crime and destruction in the world is unnecessary and

How Your Astra! Helpers Can Protect You

117

useless. It is up to you to protect yourself from all the wickedness of the planet earth. W hat is Not the Answer Wearing seat belts, having your car equipped with an air bag, carrying a gun.so that you can kill the other fellow before he kills you, teaching a girl karate to save her from rape, staying home every night because of fears, providing extra locks, hiring bodyguards, depending upon prayer that will not reach above the house-top, go­ ing to church, etc., are not the answers. They never have been and never will be the answers. The real answer is to release spiritual forces, not physical forces. Fine Tuning of the Magic Formula It is especially important that you do some fine tuning of my for­ mula for best results. However, before I tell you how to tune in Astral protection, I should like to discuss two events that I read about in the morning paper. You have no trouble finding cases like the ones I am about to relate to you. The daily papers are filled with criminal happenings. Out of the many reports that day, there was the one of the police switchboard operator hearing two people being murdered— but naturally, she could do nothing about it. It appears that a husband and wife had been Christmas shop­ ping. After they returned home and entered their house, they became aware that a robbery was in progress. Undoubtedly, the first thought that came to their minds was to call the police. However, it never oc­ curred to them to walk softly out of the house and over to a neighbor to make their phone call to the police. The three robbers heard the wife making the phone call and shot the pair dead just as the police station answered the call. When the police arrived, they found that the house had been ransacked from top to bottom. The couple were dead beside the phone. Now, if this couple had been protected by my Astral protection plan, there would have been no robbers in their house. There would have been no need to call the police and the couple would have en­ joyed Christmas and many years to come. To date, the police have no idea who committed this atrocious crime. Even if the police did apprehend the killers, what good would

118

it do? Sending the robbers and murderers to prison would not bring this couple back. The second case concerns the family of a top General Motors ex­ ecutive. They had a party the night before this tragic event. About 1:30 the following morning, the whole $125,000 house was in flames. The executive’s wife threw herself through the living room win­ dow and rushed next door to call the fire department. She is now in critical condition in a hospital with first degree burns all over her body and many cuts due to flying glass. The charred bodies of the father and his two children were found at the front door of their beautiful home. Why didn’t they all escape? They could not get the front door open. Being conscious of several robberies in his exclusive suburb of Detroit, Mr. Executive had extra locks put on the doors. These locks did not show from the outside. The inside locks needed a key to open the door. Mr. Executive thought he was protecting his family by purely physical means! As I have already told you, this is practically no protection at all. When found by the firemen, the father had the key to the extra lock in his hand, but could not use it fast enough to save himself and his two children. The end results of depending upon physical means of protection were three deaths and one critical injury. By the way, the fire started from a cigarette butt that smoldered for several hours on the living room couch under a pillow. If this executive had used my formula, he would not have needed extra locks that resulted in three deaths and total destruction of the house. One of his Astral helpers, if he had had sense enough to use one, would have told him to check the couch before retiring for the night. in addition to all of this, think of the emotional turmoil this ex­ ecutive’s wife will be under if she lives. I surely would not want to carry her burden. Every unfortunate situation that I read or hear about could have been avoided by the full use of my formula. I have called your attention to the fact that it is up to you to find the answers for your problems, it is up to you to release this powerful force that will get you somewhere. God never imposes on your free will. Actually, while you are going through the motions of shifting your problems onto someone else, you could find the answers to your problems yourself. Don’t expect God or your friends or the govern­ ment to make you rich, healthy or wise. Depend upon your own released inner self, Astral helpers and cosmic consciousness.

If you need two thousand dollars, fire protection, protection from all the evil forces of the world, develop the appropriate mentalaction images. See yourself with money. See yourself enjoying your home and environment without destruction of any kind. Women should see themselves going about their daily activities without being raped, beaten up, or molested in any way. Put the actual blueprint into your subconscious mind during your meditation. Reduce your awareness of all consciousness to the lowest point possible. Under no condition should you give any in­ dication of how this solution is to come about. By all means, give your Astral helpers and your creative consciousness the full oppor­ tunity to find the answers. Why should you care how the solution comes about? You shouldn’t. After you have formed the correct mental-action images and made them very vivid to your mind, forget about them. Your Astral helpers will find the solution and your mental-action images will become reality. if you do not picture what you want in a full meditating situa­ tion, you will never get it. To picture safety, prosperity, happiness and health results in your inner self releasing the Astral power and helpers. Your blueprints of life situations that you desire become reality. The reason that you should not think about all of these blueprints during your conscious life is that fears, doubts and other negative emotions will creep in and cancel you out. Getting your conscious mind mixed up with your meditation mental-action images can even result in your getting just the opposite of what you want. When you meditate, you set the stage. Afterwards you should forget it and let your Astral helpers find the answers to your problems or point the way to the complete satisfaction of your desires. This is fine tuning. Fine tuning is especially necessary for protection from all evil forces, because it is difficult to keep fears, doubts, nervousness, ten­ sion and all negative emotions out of your mind. Set the stage and then wait for the results. They will exceed your greatest expectations. Affirmations Designed to Protect You General—every day at your regular meditation period: “ I wish to thank all of my Astral friends again for protecting our home and ourselves. I know that G od’s pure white light will always be on guard no matter where we are.”

120

How Your Astral Helpers Can Protect You

“Thanks to my Astral helpers, there is a tight band of security always around my car or other possessions, my home and my loved ones. I know that it will always be there.” Special situations: “As we start our vacation (business) trip, we again ask our dear spirit friends to protect us at all times and provide a safe journey to and from our destination. We are eternally grateful for this protec­ tion.” For the girl who wants to avoid being molested: “ I am placing my complete faith and trust in my Astral helpers. With the aid of God’s powerful Astral force, I will be safe no matter where I may be walking, riding or seeking the comfort of my home.” Of course, the necessary mental-action images must go with these affirmations. It is well to repeat them quite often. It is necessary to repeat those for special trips or situations. These affirmations are suggestions; you can write your own if you wish. You can develop specific affirmations for specific situa­ tions. How well do I remember two occasions when my Astral helpers saved my life! I was driving my car along a street near our home when another car came down this street at high speed. I was not aware of this car until I saw it shoot in front of my car and hit a tree. The young man driving this car was thrown out of the car as it hit the tree, coming to a stop standing on end. This young fellow suffered only a bloody nose. All that he could think of was what his mother would say when she saw the car. I would have been killed instantly if it had not been for my Astral helpers. On another occasion, I had tickets for an afternoon flight to the west coast. My Astral helpers suggested that there were things that I needed to do at home, and to postpone my trip until the evening flight. I have long since learned never to question the suggestions or method of solving a problem that comes from my Astral helpers. I postponed the trip. The afternoon flight ended disastrously. The plane exploded over the mountains. There were no survivors. I am certain that you read about the 193 Moslems who were making a religious pilgrimage to Mecca. The plane crashed, killing all 193. They did not reach Mecca; they undoubtedly woke up in the Astral world. Please do not take this chapter lightly. Following my formula will protect you from all of the evil, criminal and destructive forces on the earth plane.

9. How Astral Power And Astral Helpers Can Build A Protective Psychic Wall Around You And Solve Many Of The Mysteries Of Life, Criminal And Otherwise Thousands of years ago all earth people functioned on ail levels of consciousness. Recently, Jean Dixon, the world-famous psychic, predicted that the time would come when the secrets of reincarnation and ESP, extra-sensory perception, will be known by everyone. She did not state when that time would be, but for the readers of my book, the time is now. The inhabitants of the spirit world cannot kid each other. When they come into each other’s presence, they know all about the other person. They read each other’s minds so completely that they do not ever have to talk—just think. There are no con men in the spirit world. You do not need to go on living in the lower vibrations or fre­ quencies of life. You can rise above the purely physical pleasures and vulgarities of life. The great majority of people have returned to the earth plane thirty or more times. The only way that you can be certain as to why you returned is to find out who you were in other lifetimes and, most important, why you came back or were sent back. This does not mean that you need to spend all of your time learning the lessons of God-like behavior. You can learn to become prosperous. You can have your fill of the physical pleasures of life, 121

including sex, but you can also develop character and personality and really prepare yourself for a higher type of spiritual living, Most im­ portant for the future, you can develop the “ know” that goes with a mature, well-guided life on earth.

A Few Kept the Lights Burning Fortunately, after man largely lost his ability to live and love on all dimensions of the universe, a few brave souls carried the torch of true enlightenment through the ages. Although they were cursed, burned at the stake, put in prison, called kooks, outlawed, laughed at and even called the work of the devil, a few high souls kept the lights of spirituality glowing. Even just a few years ago, excellent psychics carried a heavy burden. One of my Astral helpers, Hazel Shephard, is a glowing ex­ ample of what I have just tried to make clear to you. Early in her life, she had to make a choice—develop and use her psychic power or be what her husband considered a good wife and mother. Hazel tried to do both. This resulted in great conflict in the home. Her husband claimed that he could not gain promotions to high-level managerial jobs because he was married to a kook. The steel company for which he worked would not promote him to a high-level job because executives needed to do a great deal of enter­ taining. They told him that Hazel was not an acceptable wife for presence at their social events. The very distressing part of this true story is that both Hazel and her husband are now on the spirit side of life, but Hazel never sees her husband. He is still very resentful and does not see how wrong he was. Sooner or later, he will need to come to grips with this problem that he himself created. Today there are many still living who would not be living a suc­ cessful life if it had not been for Hazel Shephard. She is now a great help to me as well as being of help to those who have passed to spirit. Very soon, she hopes to dictate the story of her earthly life to my wife, it will appear in book form with the lovely title of Peaceful Mis­ sion.

Astral Helpers Keep Trying to Get Through to You ! am sure that many of you read the account of a famous Fifth Avenue jewelry store that was left open on New Year’s Eve. Robbers could have scooped up thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and

walked out with the greatest of ease. Apparently the security officers were so anxious to celebrate the New Year that they forgot to lock the front door. The president of this company was home trying to take a nap before going out on the town New Year’s Eve. Every few minutes, he would awaken with a start and the thought, “they left the front door open,” would come into his mind. Not knowing anything about Astral helpers, this man brushed these thoughts off and did nothing about them. One would think that after being awakened several times, he would have at least called to check it out. Finally, the police called the next day and told him what had happened. Astral helpers can build a protective wall around you if you let them in. Eric Keeps On Paying His Insurance Eric often wonders why he keeps on paying his insurance premiums on his home, car, place of business, health and accident policies. He often feels like saving all that money. Eric has never filed a claim and probably never will as long as he keeps his Astral protection plan going. This plan does not cost a pen­ ny. The Law Answers Part of This Question You are forced to pay insurance premiums on your automobile, your home in most instances, and your place of business. If you work for a company, it probably carries health and accident insurance for you. Many persons are now even getting dental care insurance. I have paid out thousands of dollars in insurance premiums on fourteen automobiles, four homes, hospital and health, accident, etc., insurance and never collected a penny. In fact, I have never been in a hospital except to visit friends or relatives. I know that I never will be confined to a hospital. My answer to this question is to keep your insurance payments as low as possible. At least you will be helping some poor soul who never read my book. Ask For Protection Every Time You Meditate It only takes a few moments to reinforce your Astral protection

124

security plan. Ask for protection for your home, your automobile, your property, and your trips, as well as against robbery, assault, rape or any other criminal offence. Always be certain that you thank your Astral helpers for all of the protection that they give you. They like to know that you ap­ preciate their help, they are human in this respect. They like to hear you say, “ Thank you, dear ones.” Never command your Astral helpers to do anything for you. All that does is to keep your in­ feriority complex going. A simple request is all that you need. When making your request, make certain that you indicate com­ plete confidence in their ability to help you. Above all, keep fear and all other negative emotions out of your mind. You must have com­ plete faith that your Astral protection plan will work. Everyone Likes to Play Detective Surely, the thought has crossed your mind by now that the law enforcement agencies are greatly in need of Astral helpers. The crime rate seems only to go up. The mistakes that the courts make are truly a disgrace. Did you ever stop to consider how many people are in prison today for crimes that they never committed? I often wonder how many persons have been executed for crimes that they never committed. “ He received a fair trial,” they say. There are also thousands of crimes or accidental happenings that go unsolved. A Few Personal Experiences I find that I just must stop and tell you of a few personal ex­ periences that indicate the great value of Astral helpers. One Sunday, we visited the new Briarwood Shopping Center in Ann Arbor. It has over 100 stores, including H udson’s, Penney’s and Sear’s, several restaurants and two theaters. You can walk for miles in this place. After we had been in and out of many stores we stopped for refreshments. When we arrived back home, my wife said, “ Where are my glasses? I must have dropped them somewhere at Briarwood.” I closed my eyes and called in N orm a Jean. I knew that she was with us for she loves to go shopping with us. N orm a Jean said, “ Call Himelhoch’s. Mildred not only dropped her glasses at this store, but also her gloves.” My wife had not yet missed her gloves, but when she called this store they had found the glasses and gloves.

Build a Protective Psychic Wall and solve Mysteries ot Lite

This may seem like a little thing to you, but what was the alter­ native? Call all the stores that we had been in, if we could remember them all? Run back out to Briarwood and spend hours retracing our steps? The problem was solved in minutes without worry or wasted energy. Some of you are thinking, “Why didn’t N orm a Jean call Mildred’s attention to it when the glasses and gloves were dropped?” A good question. The answer is that we were both so interested in the physical side of life that we would not have heard her tell us that they were lost. The First Try Succeeds I have told you that for many years, I have written psychological reports for business and industry helping select new employees or determining if and when an employee should be promoted or fired. One human engineer firm that I have helped out for over 25 years is located in Chicago. Recently, they hired a new secretary. Many of my reports have to be telephoned in for they are always in a hurry. The new secretary got interested in how I operate. My Astral helpers do all the legwork for me, telling me all about the person in question. She wanted to try Astral Projection, so I told her how over the phone. She carried out the proper formula before she went to sleep. I told her that Norm a Jean and Jackie would come to get her at about 3 AM Chicago time, and bring her to my home in Ann Arbor. Please remember that I had never seen this girl. Her name is Doris. Her Astral Body arrived at 3 AM; I saw her clearly. She looks very much like Dinah Shore. She has reddish-brown hair, neck length, and blue or hazel eyes. She is 5'6" tall and weighs 120 pounds. I called Doris on the phone the next day and described what I saw. Every detail was 100 percent correct, even to the 120 pound weight. She says that her eyes do look blue sometimes, and sometimes they look hazel. Doris told me that she felt wonderful. It appears that she has been suffering from a pain in her neck and shoulders for several weeks that made her nervous and tense. Now the pain is gone and she is very relaxed. Evidently, one of my Astral helpers (I bet it was Phyl­ lis) realized that she needed help to overcome a few physical pains and aches, and solved the problem for her without being requested to do so.

A Neighbor Incident I woke up with a start recently. This sudden awakening was caused by a loud thump next door to our apartment. It was about 3 AM. I asked my spirit guide what happened. Virginia said that the woman next door kicked her husband out of bed. This man is about 6'6" and must weigh at least 250 pounds. His wife is also a large woman. “ Why did she do it?” I asked Virginia. To put meaning into her answer, I will need to tell you that this couple have a three-year-old child. They call him “Champ.” The father plays with the child con­ stantly when he is home, running, jumping, throwing balls, etc. Ap­ parently he wants to make an athlete out of his son. Virginia told me that his wife shouted at the top of her voice. She must be getting tired of her husband overdoing the father role. One evening when this man was making an unusual amount of noise, I asked Hazel, another one of my Astral helpers, to do something to stop the noise. Hazel knocked a few dishes off of their dining room table and broke them. Their apartment became deadly quiet and stayed that way all evening. I understand they told other neighbors that they could not un­ derstand how those dishes could just fly off the table and break into a thousand pieces. I do not advocate being too nosy or destructive about your neighbors, but you surely can find out what is going on if you want to do so. Get Going, Boy One morning, my spirit guide, Virginia, nearly knocked me out of bed and told me to get up at once. It was wash day and my duty was to adjourn to the basement and do the weekly wash. At the time of this rude awakening, I did not understand the reason, for I had all morning to do the job. Well, at 8:20 AM, I was in the basement doing my duty when in came another couple with a huge load of clothes. It looked very much like they had waited until everything they owned was dirty. They would have tied up the washers and dryers all morning or perhaps longer. Then the big light lit up. I realized why Virginia had jolted me

out of bed. She knew that this couple would be there early and hold me up if I did not get on the ball early. My Master Teacher Said, “He Is Lying”

Several months ago, we w'ere listening to the television at the time then-President Richard Nixon went before the American people to tell them that he had nothing to do with the Watergate affair. All of you remember that night. I have told you that one of my Master Teachers comes in every evening and sits in the living room. He sometimes takes part in the conversation. When it became evident that Nixon was proclaiming his in­ nocence, George, my Master Teacher, said “ He is lying.” George then proceeded to tell us the true facts, which you all know now. Many people expected as much, but Nixon had his loyal group who believed him. I suggest that when you listen to a political speech, you have an Astral helper evaluate it. Shopping a Store

Do you know what shopping a store means? Since the majority of people do not know the meaning of this business expression, I will tell you. All stores have problems with dishonest clerks, supervisors and managers as well as shoplifters. There are business organizations that send shoppers into stores to observe the clerks, cashiers and others. They actually buy things. I know of one organization that has a large warehouse in Colum­ bus, Ohio, where the “shoppers” leave the goods to be returned to the various stores. When dishonesty is spotted, a report is made and an interviewer sent to solve the problem. There are two options: getting a confession and having the person repay the amount stolen, or turning the person over to the police. The best shopper organizations prefer the first option. In this case, the person may not even lose his or her job, but must repay the amount stolen. The major problem is to find out how much is stolen. I have helped solve this problem many times. I simply sit in on the in­ terview. The person is questioned concerning his dishonest activities. Various amounts are mentioned. My Astral helpers can easily tell whether or not the person is ly­

128

ing or telling the truth. I will give just one illustration that comes to my mind at the moment. The head of the meat department of a supermarket was being questioned about the sum of money he had stolen over a period of ten years. He would admit to only a few nickels and dimes, and stated that the sum could not possibly exceed $100. I signaled to the interviewer to keep raising the am ount until I gave him the signal to stop. The question was, “ Did you steal as much as S100?” The answer was yes. “ Did you steal as much as $500?” The answer was no. This was a lie. The question was repeated over and over again until the sum of $37,000 was reached. Above that amount, his answer “ no” was the truth, according to my Astral Helper. This man finally signed a note promising to pay back $37,000. His other option was going to jail. He preferred to pay back the money—although he had to sell his home in order to do this. I do not believe that I need to tell you how grateful top manage­ ment was to get this case solved. It was difficult for them to believe that the total amount stolen was so great. Astral Helpers May Be More Useful T hao They Were on the Earth Plane Can you possibly imagine how wrong it is to believe that because a person has departed to the spirit side of life that he or she can be of no further service to earth people? In most cases, their value to us has increased tenfold. They can do many things that they could not pos­ sibly have done while living on the earth plane. The most important point to remember is that your Astral helpers love to help you. They want to maintain contact with the earth. Unfortunately, the majority of people wrongly believe that these departed souls are gone forever. “ W hat a pity,” they say, “ that these great men and women could not have continued to live and guide us.” I hope that by now you can fully understand how far from the truth such a statement is. The great scientists, writers, artists, educators, statesmen and ministers are still available to you and are much easier to contact than they were while living on the earth plane. They have not left the earth plane in any sense of the word, and don’t you forget it.

Mary Doesn’t Like Me For several months now, M ary G. has been coming in about every two or three weeks, generally on a Saturday afternoon. Mary lives in Indianapolis, Indiana. She is the wife of a president of a large corporation in that city. She is an alcoholic and a source of great em­ barrassment to her husband and daughter. Their one child is married and lives in Chicago. She has two children. Mary is seldom sober. My wife knew her for many years before we moved back to Ann Arbor. In many ways, Mary is a very talented person. She is interested in the opera and is a very fine interior decorator, but her liquor bill is fantastic. The first time that Mary came in through Astral projection, we thought that she was dead. We later found out that she was drunk and that her physical body was sprawled on the living room couch back in Indianapolis. “ I’m looking for someone to tell me the way to hell. I know that I am going to hell, but I can’t find it. Where is hell, anyway?” Mary began the conversation. I assured her that if that was where she wanted to go that one of my Astral friends would take her there. At this point, however, I spotted her silver cord and knew that she had not passed to spirit. Mary now started observing some of our spirit friends. She saw Norm a Jean and addressed this question to her: “ How the hell did you get here?” Norm a Jean ignored her question. M ary’s dull gray and red aura indicated clearly what kind of a person she was. N orm a Jean was aware of the fact that Mary had tried to break up my own marriage several years ago, “ You did him dirt!!” said N orm a Jean with great emphasis on each word. “ You drink too much and you go to bed with too many men,” she continued. “ You are a fine one to talk about men. How many hundred have you gone to bed with?” These two kept on throwing insults at each other. Finally, two of my Astral helpers took Mary back home. She immediately woke up and reached for a bottle. The last time that Mary came in, I was enjoying a bowling tour­ nament on television and did not pay any attention to her, although she tried to get my attention over and over again.

Later, during my regular meditation period, my spirit guide, Virginia, toid me that she had talked to Mary. She asked if Norm a Jean was still with us. Virginia told her that she was, and that Mary Jo, Jackie Susann and Inger were also with us. “ I don’t believe it. D on’t hand me that,” said Mary. So, at this point, all of my noted helpers came in. Mary looked directly at Jackie Susann and said, “ I never read any of your books. They are just trash.” Mary asked Virginia if Mildred was still married to that “stinker.” Virginia informed her that she was, and also invited her to stay until the regular meditation period later. Mary refused to stay, saying as she left, “ I need a drink.” Our spirit friend, Hazel told me that M ary’s husband goes on vacations and to see his daughter and her family alone. Mary is not allowed to go. Apparently, the daughter avoids embarrassing situa­ tions by keeping away from her mother. Hazel also told us that Mary had been arrested for drunken driv­ ing and that she may well end up in a fatal auto accident some day. The dullness of M ary’s aura clearly indicates that she is in poor health. Mary knows nothing about Astral projection or any of the other psychic material you have read in my book. It is true that the Astral Body can and does take off frequently while you are asleep. It could easily take off while a person is dead drunk. If I had not developed Astral power and established a group of Astral helpers, I could never have known that Mary came to see us. There are many activities going on all around you right now. As a result of reading my book, you can become aware of them. It must be a very sad and disturbing experience for the people who knew you on the earth plane not to get through to you now that they have gone on to greater things. Perhaps you are sitting in your living room, aware of only the emptiness of the house. The room may be full of important people for all you know. Even meeting people like Mary can be a worthwhile experience. Some of you might be asking the question: “ Why didn’t you cure Mary of her alcholism?” I would have, but my Astral helpers told me that it was not to be. Mary has a karmic debt to pay. Every time she drinks too much or violates her marriage vows, she feels remorse and mental anguish. All this was reflected in her asking us to show her the way to hell. She feels that she is very sinful and must be punished.

No one can interfere with karma, I might be able to soften the blow or make her marriage a little more livable, but otherwise it is to her best interest to go on the way she is. Many years ago, during a former life, she set the stage for the type of life she is now forced to live. G od’s permissiveness gave her the option. She chose the wrong path, so she was forced to return to earth to settle the account made perhaps several hundred years ago. An Orphan Locates Her True Parents A few months ago, I read the following article in a Sunday paper: “Janet Raymond, 21, is an orphan. She was born in a Los Angeles hospital during the same period that (a well known movie actress) was (supposedly) an appendectomy patient there. According to sources, her appendix was not removed. A friend of this actress has met Janet and is amazed at the strong resemblance to the star. Ironically, Janet even won a look-alike contest a few years ago. She was also inter­ viewed on a TV special relating to this star. “ For Janet, however, the resemblance is not much help. There is no way she can prove that she is this star’s daughter. Janet, who worked as a secretary in Santa Monica Hospital, is a member of the Screen Ac­ tor's Guild, and is determined to follow in her mother’s path to star­ dom.

This case was easy to solve because Janet’s real mother is now on the spirit side of life. Her mother has admitted to me that Janet is her daughter and that a former husband is Janet’s father. Her father lives in San Francisco. Many times it is considered best for an orphan not to know who the real parents are. You have undoubtedly read in the papers of many unfortunate court battles over children. If, however, there is a good reason to locate the real mother and perhaps the father, you can help solve this problem. All you have to do is ask one of your Astral helpers to find the parents. The date and place of birth will be useful to your Spirit helper. Provide your Helper with all the information you can get. In most cases, the Akashic Record will provide the answer to the problem. The Truth Need No Longer Escape You How often have you heard someone say, “ I wonder what hap­ pened to Mary?” “Why did Jim leave his job?” “ Who did you sup­

pose killed that man?” “ I wonder who I really am?” “Where is my mother now?” “ Did he really steal all that money?” “ I wish I knew where to get hold of a new something-or-other.” “They seemed so happy together; why are they getting a divorce?” We were recently invited out to dinner. A couple there seemed to be quite devoted to each other. It was a pleasure to spend an evening with them. I never will forget what a wonderful cook the husband was. His turkey dressing was out of this world. On our way home, N orm a Jean, who was with us all evening, said, “They will be divorced before Christmas. It is not a good m ar­ riage!” We later got a Christmas card from the wife saying that she was staying with her parents and would be married again in January. Your Astral helpers are priceless.

10. The Fabulous Astral Ticker tape Predicts The Future To Lead You To Greater Riches And Happy Living Since the beginning of time, there have been fortune tellers, mystics and prophets who have claimed that they know the future. Apparently, they were all aware of some kind of psychic power. Many frames of reference were developed by these so-called predictors of the future. Even today, we still have astrology, numerology, phrenology, palmistry, graphology, crystal balls, etc. The list is long, and the more you try to understand what each one has to offer, the more confused you get. Many authorities call them all pseudo-sciences. Man creates his own terrible economic and social problems; then he spends billions of dollars trying to find out what the future has to offer him. It most certainly is true that we all want to be reas­ sured that we will make it, money-wise and occupation-wise. Although the list is long, I have studied most of these systems, including black magic, witchcraft, rituals, charms and chants, and find them all wanting. It is all too evident that many people will try anything that they are led to believe will help them better their future physical, mental and emotional lives. Those who claim that they can predict the future never want for clients. At the moment, there seems to be an unusually large number of psychics getting their names in the papers by predicting future events. Some of these prophets are fairly accurate; others are good guessers. Many are out-and-out frauds. All of these people give you the im­ pression that they have an unusual gift from God that makes all of this possible. I am going to prove to you that predicting is as easy as A-B-C, and you can do it. 133

The Astral Tickertape Predicts the Future

You Do Not Need Any of These Future Predicting Systems

It is high time that people stopped throwing their hard-earned money away on most of the prediction systems advertised today. Even astrology cannot hold a candle to my magic formula. All you need to do to predict your own future is to apply my magic formula. You also need to understand the Astral concept of time. Think of what has, is, and will happen in the universe as a play going on now. You are not only observing this play but you are also a part of it. Everything is happening now. The entire past, present and future is now. You can do anything that the greatest prophet can do. You do not need to bow and scrape to any prophet. You do not need to look with awe to a seer or psychic and wish you were like him. You can know yourself and your future better than anyone else. You are on the inside looking out. You have the edge on any fortune teller or psychic—and don’t you forget it. You Can Be Your Own Seer of the Future

I surely have made it clear to you over and over again that you are equipped with the highest and most powerful force in the uni­ verse. You can become aware of events to come and predict more ac­ curately than the world famous psychics. You can set in motion the mental-action images that will change the future for you and others around you. Your help and the help of thousands like you is needed now, for the future of the earth plane is in doubt. We must all not only better our own future but we must help set in motion images that will better the world and pull us out of the present disastrous conditions. A Simple Method of Insuring Your Financial Future

I have told you that I write psychological reports for human engineers. These reports help place workers on the right job, measure their potential for advancement and give an objective reason for fir­ ing an employee. Naturally, like any business, the demand for my work increases or decreases from time to time. The problem is to keep the demand up regardless of business conditions. I now know how to keep the de­ mand up.

The Astral Tickertape Predicts the Future

135

During my meditation period, I develop a very vivid mentalaction image of my mail box being full of the material sent to me by these human engineers. This is the material from which my reports are prepared. I keep repeating this image in my mind, adding a sim­ ple sentence to the effect that this image is becoming reality now. Remember, God said, “ Let there be light” and there was light. I have repeated over and over again that all- reality starts as a mental image. Within a few days, my report business takes a turn for the better and I am busy again. This method has never failed me in over 25 years—even during business recessions. Mr. E, Eases His Way Into Retirement I have been writing reports for Mr. E. for many years. I believe that I know and understand him better than he does himself. For several years, he has been talking about retiring at the age of 65. He said he wanted to spend m ore time with his children and grandchildren. He also wanted to write for business journals. Mr. E. is so stubborn that when he makes up his mind to do something, no one can convince him otherwise. When you try to change his mind, he becomes very angry and is more convinced than ever that he is right. Many years ago, I learned to cope with his stub­ bornness. in spite of all of his weaknesses, Mr. E. did make a significant contribution in bettering relations between management and labor for a large number of corporations throughout the Midwest, It was my opinion that he should continue to do this, but I did not dare tell him this for fear of provoking his stubborn streak. I have mentioned the name of Hazel Shepard before. While on the earth plane, she was a very well-known psychic. Mr. E. respected her opinions and gained a great deal of sound advice from her in spite of his stubbornness. Hazel Shepard is now one of my Astral helpers. When I talked to Hazel, she agreed with me that Mr. E. should not retire at this time. We both agreed that his $1500 a month overhead for an office and secretarial help was too much, but came to the conclusion that Mr. E. could ease his way into retirement by moving his office to his home. He could then continue to function at a slower pace. The result of our planning was never mentioned to Mr. E. He was set on giving up the whole business at 65. I was not surprised, however, when I recently received an announcement stating that Mr. E. was moving his office to his home where he would carry on as usual. The only change was in his telephone number.

The Astra! Tickertape Predicts the Future

Here is a beautiful illustration of how you can influnce others by making use of your Astral helpers. I am not advocating that you pull any tricks or illegal or immoral tactics on others, or misuse them in any way, however. There is no question that if you plan every detail of the change that you wish to make in a husband, wife, friend, business associate, politician, etc., you can lead them down a path that will make for a better life for all concerned. After the change is made, ask them why they changed. They will not be able to give you a good reason.

Programming Others to Do Your Bidding If those who have passed to spirit could not keep in touch with earth people and influence them, there would be no point in every human being on the face of the earth having a spirit guide. Very few people are aware of the fact that a guide is with them from birth to death. God would not permit this involvement of billions of spirits if some value was not forthcoming. In England, they call spirit guides “ door keepers” who guard souls and keep them from harm. That they do not always succeed is very evident, but the service is worthwhile overall. Your spirit guide and/or other Astral helpers can influence or actually help not only you but others as well. You can literally do ex­ tensive programming of another mind so that that mind can be of service to you.

Ray Gets His Girl I met Ray on the street a short time ago. “ When are you going to marry Rose, Ray?” I said, opening the conversation. “ You have been going with Rose for several years now. People are beginning to talk.” “ Honest, Doc, it’s not my fault. I want to marry Rose, but she will not set the date. I have tried everything I could think of. I even dated Louise for a while and Louise wanted me to marry her. but I love Rose. I told Rose that Louise wanted me to marry her. You know what Rose said to me?” “ I bet I could guess. She told you to go ahead and marry Louise— right?” “ Yea, ain’t that something?!” Ray answered. “ I can help you get your girl,” I said. “ Uh! It would do no good to talk to her. She would resent your interference.”

“ Who said anything about talking to her? Come over to see me tomorrow,” I replied as we parted. After Ray had learned my system, 1 suggested that he build, dur­ ing his meditation period, vivid images of Rose finally consenting to marry him and setting the date. I also suggested highly emotional im­ ages of both enjoying marital love together. His Astral helpers did the rest. They put the idea in Rose’s head that she should marry Ray. They helped her dismiss her fear of m ar­ riage. I also suggested to Ray that he start dating Louise again and stop seeing Rose. He was to make it look as if he was going to marry Louise. 1 assured Ray that Louise really understood that he would not marry her. However, she did enjoy dating him. They always had a good time together. It worked. Ray and Rose are now happily married. John Gets His Promotion John had been with the same company for ten years. Since there were top-level jobs available there, he believed that this was the best way to advance. Although John got a few raises, he never was considered for a really good promotion in line with his goal. He wanted a job with more responsibility and less purely routine work. John told me his story one day and asked me, “W hat am I doing wrong?” I assured him that his employer was in error—not him. I taught John how to use my formula. During meditation, I told him to see himself on the job that he had pictured as his goal. He saw himself succeeding and being appreciated by the management. John also brought in an Astral helper who was given the job of influencing the mind of the man who could do the most good when it came to helping John move up. John was not surprised when this man appeared more frequently to observe John at work. It was not long before the whole process was working beautifully. John got the promotion he needed and wanted. Programming Others Is an Exclusive With My Formula I have given you only two actual cases of how your Astral helpers can influence others for your benefit. Play around with this idea for a while and you will be able to think of hundreds of ways in which your life can be made more productive. Getting people to do what you want them to do is easier than you ever thought possible.

You now have a method of increasing your chances of success in getting a job, a wife, money or a trip around the world. There are many systems that use positive thinking as a way of changing your life for the better. However, my system is the only one that makes use of your spirit friends (Astral helpers) to make certain that your positive thinking becomes reality. Your Astral helpers will remove all the blocks to success, health and happiness. Your Astral Helpers Can influence the Thinking and Actions of Even People in High Places I have often thought of writing letters to the President of the United States and/or other famous people in public life including ac­ tors and actresses. I have still to write that first letter, because I realize that the important person will never see or read it. The only way most of us could get into the White House would be to join the groups of conducted tours of his famous home of presi­ dents. Your Astral helpers, however, have no trouble going anywhere or influencing the thinking and actions of even important people in high places. Not too long ago, I helped a man reach his cherished goal. He was an excellent attorney who wanted to become a Federal judge. That meant that he would need to be recommended by the President of the United States. Mr. W. asked for and received my help. The presentation that Mr. W. prepared included the complete story of his life, education, experience, important cases successfully handled, family, letters of recommendation, etc. Naturally, political party endorsements were included as well as letters from well-known people on the political scene. It surely was an impressive package for the President to review. Mr. W. even managed to arrange a very brief personal interview with the President. After Mr. W. learned my system, he developed vivid images of himself on the job, carrying out all the duties of his judgeship success­ fully and with great emotional satisfaction. He literally lived these images during his meditation periods. W hat could an Astral helper do? There were several equally qualified men seeking the job. Which one would the president recom­ mend? I should like to make it clear right now that with my system there is no need for “ dirty tricks” or any other shady political device. The Astral helper does not even need to refer to any of the other can­ didates or make any comparisons.

Astral Helper’s Radar Comes Into Play A!! persons on the spirit side of life have an awareness of many things. It is more all inclusive than ESP. The higher the spirits

development, the more extensive his radar system becomes. it goes without saying that all of our spirit friends do not want to be aware of everything in the universe or even on the earth plane. They program themselves to pick up what they need and want. Let me give you two very special illustrations of this technique. When I start working on this book or prepare reports for Human Engineers, at least two and sometimes three of my Astral helpers come in and identify themselves so that I know they are here helping me. Two of my Astral Helpers are Japanese. One is a very beautiful girl whom I have known over several lifetimes. The other is a Japanese exorcist. He is very talented and speaks 17 languages. Our association is quite a long story, but let me illustrate Astral radar with just one episode. Santo, the Japanese girl, approached me one day and attracted my attention although I was not in a meditating situation. She said that we were in danger from evil forces. She told us that she brought Tryko, the Japanese exorcist, with her. Both of these spirits were in the Japanese area when they detected evil forces around us in Ann Arbor. Santo had her radar programmed to pick up evil forces around us. This was probably just one of the many conditions that she was aware of as far as we were concerned. Santo comes to see us frequently and is always on call when needed. Tryko set a trap; the evil force was caught and permanently removed. We were very grateful. Now let me return to my story about Mr. W. The Astral helper, working on this project to get the President of the United States to endorse Mr. W., adjusted his radar so that he knew when the Presi­ dent was considering each candidate for the job. At the proper time, the Astral helper built up a pleasant, com­ fortable, “this is the one for the job” emotional tone within the Presi­ dent as he reviewed the qualifications of Mr. W. The Astral helper made Mr. W .’s good points stand out in the President’s mind. When the time came to make a decision, the President had just one person in mind: Mr. W. Mr. W. is now a Federal judge, a position that he will hold with honor until it comes time for retirement. He will be a good judge.

The Fabulous Astral Tickertape I have told you that everything is happening now. The Astral Tickertape has a complete record of every event. Comparing the tickertape you see in your stock broker’s office with the Astral Tickertape is like comparing a computer with the human brain. There is really no comparison—for the Astral Tickertape tells you the whole story, not just the past and present. The Astral Tickertape will give you the answer at any point. The Astral Tickertape tells you how the event ended before it started. Think what this means if you like to bet on the horses or a football game. All that your Astral helper has to do is tell you how the race ended at the time you place your bets. You can’t lose. It is best for you to let your Astral helper read the Tickertape. I have seen all forms of Astral records and must tell you that they are not easy to read. Edgar Cayce could do it, but his radar while in a hypnotic trance was all inclusive—he could really read out of the “ Big Book.” For you it will better to do as I do,— depend upon your Astral helpers. All Astral records, including the Tickertape, go far beyond anything you will find on earth. Does this mean that nothing can be changed? For such events as horse racing, the majority of athletic contests and elections, the answer is yes. However, if you do not like what Astral records say is going to happen to you next week or next year, you can change it through the full application of my magic formula. Jim Makes a Bundle At the Race Track Betting on the horses really had Jim by the tail. Fortunately, he did not lose too much. He did not win much either until I sold him on my system. Learning my magic formula was also a lucky break for him for another reason, for his boss was ready to fire him. He quit his job and is now making a good living at the race track. I got Jim an Astral helper who, while on the earth plane, also liked to bet on the horses. Now, on the Astral plane, he stills like to watch the races, and he can easily find out how they will end before they start. He welcomed the opportunity to help Jim make a good liv­ ing at the track, Jim can now travel to many parts of the country and the world, too, for that matter. When he needs money, he heads for a race track.

Many people ask Jim how he does it. He is wise not to tell them, for the majority would think he was some kind of nut. He has been advised to write a book about his system, but Jim just shakes his head and tells them that he is satisfied the way things are now. Who can blame him? Gloria Wins On TV Shows When people ask Gloria why she is so lucky on TV game shows, she just tells them that she listens to her inner voice. The answer she generally gets from others is that when they listen to their inner voices, they generally lose. W hat her friends don’t know is that her inner voice is an Astral helper who puts the correct answers into her mind. The master of ceremonies of one game show was greatly sur­ prised when she won $25,000, Warning : Do not misuse the power of knowing the future. It is fine for you to win at races, games and contests, but do not overdo this. Take your fair share and then go on to something else. To not heed this warning may result in your losing the use of your Astral power. Arthur Changes His Future Arthur did not like what the Astral helpers told him about his future, so he made up his mind to change it. The invention of a new machine that he knew nothing about would do away with his job. His Astral helpers told him the type of training he would need to get an even better job when the machine was finally introduced. He met this challenge, and is now a skilled inspector of the machine that could have put him out of a job. Real Estate Development Made Easy John is a real estate developer. He came to see me one day wondering whether or not I had any suggestions that might improve his lot in this field. I taught him my system. He would drive out to a proposed land development site, sit in his car and apply my formula. First he would get a clear image of the area in question. He really concentrated on this until he had a very strong image. He would then ask his Astral helpers to put a picture in his mind of this same area five, ten, or more years later.

The Astrai Tickertape Predicts the Future

His Astral helpers, after consulting the Astral Tickertape, would project a picture of the area that John believed would make a good housing and/or business development project. To John’s surprise, he was not always correct. Some areas would show little or no develop­ ment. In others, the development was of a different sort. Some developed faster or slower than John would have thought possible. The greatest value of this use of the Astral Tickertape concerns development. There were areas where vast sums of money were to be invested, resulting in a possible total loss years later. Do I need to add that John is now a millionaire land developer?

Becoming Knowledgeable of the Future Insures Successful Living There are people who do not want to know anything about the future. They want only to live each day as they find it and be sur­ prised if they wake up tomorrow. They want to take their chances with the future. This book is not for such really stupid people. You came back to the earth plane for a purpose. The great m a­ jority do not even know what they came back for. Many believe that this is their first and only trip to earth. You are not one of the stupid ones, or you would not be reading my book. Knowing the future is a must. There are many ways you can use the Astral Tickertape:

1. You can find out about your past trips to earth. You can become knowledgeable about your mistakes and the things that you did right. 2. You can learn why you came back and whether or not you are making any progress in fulfilling your mission. 3. You can know what the immediate future has in store for you. If you want to play the horses, you can pick the winners with great ease. 4. You can learn what the long range future has in store for you. If you don't like what you find out, you can change it and become anything your heart desires. 5. You can learn the future of your city, state or nation and, through the democratic system, help change the future for others as well as yourself. I did not like it when I found out that I was to pass to spirit February 20, 1972. If I had not learned this fact, I would not be sitting at my desk writing this book. I have greatly enjoyed life since then, and expect to enjoy many more years.

Inger Stevens is with me now. She is telling me that if she had known me and my work, she would still be on the earth plane. At the moment she took her life, that seemed to be the thing to do. She is now deeply sorry that she did, but is grateful for the opportunity of helping me bring a more perfect earthly life to thousands. The future is yours to make of it what you will.

11. Amazing Astral Power Can Locate Hidden Treasure And Lost Articles Treasure hunting is really just coming into its own. Today, it is big business. Man now has the necessary equipment to go after the billions of dollars of hidden treasure. Psychics are telling the treasure hunters where to find it. Of course, I do not need to tell you that with my magic formula you can locate many types of treasure. I am certain that many of you recently read about the recovery of gold, silver and jewelry as well as historic artifacts that were part of a six million dollar treasure on the Spanish galleon sunk off the coast of Florida in 1622. At the time this discovery was reported in the newspapers, over 1500 items had been recovered. “ It’s going to take a long time and a lot of hard work to bring in the rest of it, for we have just started,” one of the workers was quoted as saying. We All Dream of Finding Hidden Treasure I am certain that as a child, you dreamed of finding a shipwreck filled with millions of dollars of gold and silver coins and jewelry. We all read about the many ships that have gone down to a watery grave. Until recently, they stayed down. I hope to tell you about hundreds of ships to be found at the bottom of the Great Lakes. But first, let me tell you about a type of buried treasure that you can find with little or no expense. The discovery of this treasure may not be as dramatic or historic but it surely is profitable.

Son Finds $250,000 Burled in Milk Cans Mr. A. was a very wealthy owner of a flour mill in Ohio. I remember driving by his mill many times as I returned to my home state of Michigan. Today the freeway bypasses his well-known mill. 144

In the old days, the mill was known for the quality of its flour and other products. Today it is remembered as the place where the “ old m an” buried $250,000 in milk cans and did not tell anyone about it. Mr. A. died leaving nearly a million dollars to his wife and children. One son made himself available to continue operating the mill as it had been run for many years. No one seemed to know very much about Mr. A ’s financial af­ fairs. The family was well taken care of, so no one suspected that there was any more money to be found outside of his bank accounts, stocks, bonds and real estate. However, thoughts about hidden money began to come into the mind of the son who was carrying on the work of the father. The thought that there was hidden money around the plant kept occur­ ring in his mind. He told himself over and over again that his father would never do such a foolish thing as bury money. Mr. A. was not known as a miser but as a good businessman who was rather generous with his money. Finally the son came to me. I will call him Adam. He told me that he could not dismiss the idea of money hidden somewhere around the mill. He jokingly stated that perhaps he needed a psy­ chiatrist and not someone to help him find money if indeed it did ex­ ist. I reassured him by stating that we would use a psychiatrist as a last resort. I gave Adam two options. Either I would find the money for him or I would teach him my system so that he could find whatever was to be found himself. He chose the second option, As soon as he was able to raise his vibrations to the Astral level, he called in his father. If anyone could help solve this problem, surely his father could. Sure enough, it was his father who was trying to reach him. His father told him that five milk cans filled with $250,000 in five-tenand twenty-dollar bills were buried near the mill. His father gave him the location, but could give no reason as to why he had buried all of this money. His father did tell him that he had intended to dig up the money since he really believed that he would live several more years. The money was found exactly where A dam ’s father said it was. It was removed to the bank and counted. Of course, Uncle Sam would take his share. Would you have kept this find a secret, taking the money home instead of to a bank? Would you have justified such action in order to protect the reputation of your father? Would you have justified secretly keeping the money to keep the news out of the papers?

Adam chose to make the whole story public, letting others think what they wanted to think. He was sure that the stories that would circulate would not be true. The money was found, but the reason for its being buried in the first place was as remote as ever. I decided to find out why a man who gave no indication of having a personality trait that would result in his doing such a thing should bury $250,000 in milk cans, it could have been invested in nontaxable bonds or a trust fund for his children. Many questions came to my mind. How did he keep others from knowing that he had all of the money until the time he buried it? it was all buried at the same time. Why did he forgo all the interest or profit this money would have brought by taking it out of circulation? It just did not make sense. As far as the family members were con­ cerned, they were willing to close the book on the whole mysterious episode. We have all read about or heard of cases where thousands of dollars are found after a person passes to spirit. I just read about a woman from Florida who died of malnutrition. She begged for food from the neighbors. After her death, the authorities found $800,000 cash in safety deposit boxes, many stocks and bonds and $3,000 in a checking account. In most cases, we can discover a personality trait that accounts for the miserly action. Mr. A.’s actions just did not make any sense any way you looked at them. Astral Helper Finds Reason for Mr. A’s Action One of my Astral helpers found the reason for Mr. A.’s action. In a former incarnation, Mr. A. was an innkeeper in England. He owned an inn at a sort of a half-way station between two English towns. He had a very profitable business except for the fact that he was robbed too many times. While many handled this problem by hiding or burying their money, Mr. A. never did. Robbers not only took all of his money but his liquor as well. This happened so many times that Mr. A. was a very poor man during the later days of his life. In retrospect, he came to the conclu­ sion that he would have been a rich man if he had handled his money properly. Now we see why Mr. A. buried $250,000. He was making sure that he would have enough for the later years of his life. If the banks failed and all of his stocks and bonds became worthless, he would still have plenty of money. Apparently, he was not fully conscious of

147

the fact that the environmental conditions present during the two lives were very different. He did provide proof that we are the product of all that has gone before, but in this case, the United States government was the big winner. Millions of Dollars Are Buried—Never To Be Recovered Since our government was established 200 years ago, millions of dollars have been hidden, buried or burned. The U.S. government is always the big winner. How many times have you read or heard about children playing in old houses or construction workers remodeling buildings who find valuable articles and/or large sums of money? There seldom is any record of how these treasures got there or why. Your chances of stumbling onto such treasure are rather remote. It would also be a waste of time to go aimlessly searching for hidden or buried treasure. You can, however, alert one of your Astral helpers to be on the lookout for this type of treasure. Through their Astral radar, they can tell you where to find such treasure. The same technique applies to lost articles. You can save time by simply asking one of your Astral helpers where the lost article is hiding. There is nothing dramatic about finding a bundle of old stocks or bonds, bank books showing large sums of money still on deposit drawing interest, letters from famous people, antiques that have been collector’s items or plain old dirty money in the form of bills, silver or gold coins. However, the amount of cold cash you can recover is often amazing. Experts Find Buried Treasure in Outhouses Several years ago, many business leaders were making public statements concerning the vital importance to Detroit of the proposed Renaissance Center along the Detroit River front. This multi-million dollar project would be composed of stores, offices, a hotel, apartments, convention center and even an auditorium. Since it would be one of the tallest complexes of buildings in Michigan, it would be necessary to dig a deep foundation. You remember me call­ ing your attention to the fact that construction workers often dis­ covered hidden treasure. The hidden treasure so far found at the Renaissance site has caused Mr. Weeks, Director of the Detroit Historical Museum, to

state, “ one of the richest if not the richest early nineteenth-century archeological digs in this country” has been discovered. It seems that people S50 years ago did not have garbage dis­ posals, trash pickups or other modern ways of getting rid of un­ wanted stuff. W hat did they do with such things? Why, they threw them in the outhouses, known as “ privies” or “ necessaries” then. Among some of the items already on display are clay smoking pipes, earthen chamber pots, some 1830 British Staffordshire ceramic bowls, 150-year-old duck eggs, dishes, utensils, letters, account books, etc. Mr. Ebeneezer Beech’s chamber pot was found in nearly perfect condition. Mr. Beech was a maker of hats. Some of his records indicated that he had financial troubles too. You may not agree, but the scientists involved in this project, financed by the Ford M otor Company, believe that the most impor­ tant find of all is what the nineteenth century people called “ night soil” or fecal matter. Because of the high water level around Detroit, this “ night soil” is still very much as it was when it left a human body. However, the smell seemed to be intensified. Of course the “ hard hats” thought that the scientists were “nuts” to be interested in this stinking stuff. This fecal matter is under observation in nitrogen tents in private laboratories. The scientists have been able to keep alive cer­ tain bacterial growths from this “ night soil” that dates back to the time it was discarded in the outhouses 150 years ago. From all of this study you may ask, “ what has all this to do with buried treasure?” The scientists hope to gain insight into the health and eating habits of these people. Also, by testing and comparing the fecal matter of 150 years ago with that of today, the scientists hope to show how different modern bacteria are as a result of the use of an­ tibiotics. This result could be medically significant. O.K.—so you still don’t think it is hidden treasure. Would you settle for calling it hidden history?

Three Sisters Create Hidden Treasure Galore Three sisters lived in an eighteenth century family home until they passed to spirit. They never married or had any serious love af­ fairs. Their father was, at one time, a well-known industrialist. His home was always a showplace and probably will be for many years to come. Posing in the middle of six acres of beautifully landscaped gar­ dens, this lovely place was guarded by a white picket fence. All heads turned to admire when passing the Wade home.

Mr. Wade evidently wanted at least one boy. He gave up after the third girl was born. However, he raised his three daughters as if they were boys. He taught them gardening, painting, masonry, carpentry, decorating, mechanics and even plumbing. After the girls reached maturity, it was not an uncommon sight to see them mowing the lawn, weeding the garden, painting or even fixing a leak in the roof. They did all of the interior decorating, including wallpapering, refinishing furniture, remodeling the home and other odd jobs such as unclogging a sink. The three sisters were school teachers. One taught history, another, mathematics, and the third, English. After their parents died, they hired a housekeeper and a handyman. One often wondered what the hired help did except to take care of the place while the sisters were traveling, since they did most of the work. Early in their adult life, the three sisters became interested in famous paintings and antiques. As the years rolled by, this lovely home really did become a showplace. The city W om an’s Club had it on their list of homes that were open to the public a few times each year. There was always excellent attendance at the time of “ open house.” The three sisters then displayed original paintings by Van Gogh, Rembrandt, Picasso, Raphael and others. The French marbletop tables, amber glassware, hobnail lamps and dishes, milk glass, pewter and dozens of other types of antiques made small talk for days to come for all who had the opportunity of visiting this beautiful home. Most of the furniture and decorations had an interesting history as well. After the three sisters retired from teaching, they spent more time picking up rare antiques. The Wade house became extremely well known. Then things went into a reversal. The antiques and famous paintings gradually disappeared. It soon became very noticeable; people began asking if these items were being sold. Some offered to buy them. This question was always answered with a polite smile. After a few years, the Wade house became just a nice home with tasteful furniture and a few conversation pieces. The original paintings had been replaced by excellent copies put in the same frames, interest in the Wade home was greatly reduced. The general conclusion that the majority of the townspeople came to was that the three sisters were short of money and had to sell some of the treasures. Finally the last of the three sisters passed to spirit and the will was read. They had left their home to the city with the understanding that it would still be open to the public at least several times each

year. The city was to be held responsible for the care and upkeep of the home as well as security against theft and vandalism. As the members of the city council toured the Wade estate, their first reaction was that they had a “white elephant” on their hands, it was just a nice old house and nothing more. Mr. Strong, one of the council members, had made numerous trips through the house over the past 30 years. He had noticed both the increase and decrease in the number of very valuable paintings and antiques. He asked himself many questions concerning the reasons for this fact. He just could not believe that the three sisters became short of cash. For several weeks, Mr. Strong kept trying to find the answer. He carefully searched the house, thinking that perhaps many valuables had been stored somewhere. The thought came to him that perhaps the three sisters could not take proper care of those things as they grew older, so they stored them away for safekeeping. But where? He searched and he searched but found nothing. My Magic Formula Reveals the Secret of the Three Sisters Mr. Strong knew a patient of mine who had developed con­ siderable skill in the field of ESP. He asked my patient to go with him to the Wade home to see if he could pick up any clues as to what hap­ pened to several hundred thousand dollars worth of antiques and original paintings. Mr. C., my patient, found the answer—and what an answer! I have since contacted the three sisters in the Astral world and asked them why they did it. They all laughed and told me that they had the time of their lives providing all of this hidden treasure. They did not expect that it would be found so soon. I put another question to them: “ Suppose this hidden treasure had never been found until the day the wreckers came along?” All that I received in the form of an answer was a sweet smile as they said “We took a chance.” Here is the true story of what Mr. C.’s Astral helper found. So, fasten your seat belts and put cotton in your ears! After Mr. C. had toured the Wade home and returned to the liv­ ing room, he produced a blindfold from his pocket, sat down in a comfortable chair and asked Mr. Strong to close the curtains. Mr. C, told Mr. Strong that he could either stay during the meditation and revelation period or return in about 30 minutes. Mr. Strong elected to stay.

151

Both men got quiet and Mr. C, put on his blindfold and started the meditation process going by relaxing, breathing deeply, and then repeating the Lord’s Prayer. He then called on his Astral helpers through thoughts in his mind and presented the problem in detail. Continuing his deep breathing, Mr. C.now concentrated on his favorite flower as he repeated to himself “ Higher vibrations, oneness with God: higher vibrations, oneness with G od.” He kept his con­ centration and oneness with G od technique going for some time. He knew that when his Astral helpers had the answer, his vibrations would be high enough so that he could hear their voices or pick up their thoughts. He wanted his vibrations to be as high as possible, for his Helpers might also project pictures into his mind to help him un­ derstand the solution to the problem more clearly. After about 20 minutes of this meditation, Mr. C. heard one of the Astral helpers say, “ Your friend is sound asleep, but no matter.” Mr. C. then saw clearly in his mind a vivid picture of the stairway to the second floor. He was told that the answer to the problem was to be found under the carpet and pad of each step and rise for the 18 steps in the stairway. He was told to ask Mr. Strong for a carpet tack remover and a very sharp paperhanger’s knife. Other tools would be needed later. Mr. C. thanked his Astral helpers, concluded the meditation with a prayer of thanks and then woke up Mr. Strong. “ We will need a carpet tack remover and a sharp knife to start with. We may need other tools later on” Mr. C. began. “The three sisters had every imaginable tool. As I looked at these recently, I wondered what they used them all for. I sense that I am about to find out,” said Mr. Strong. “ Indeed you are. Let’s go up to the top step,” said Mr. C. Mr. C. waited at the bottom of the stairway until Mr. Strong returned with the tools. As they slowly ascended the stairway, Mr. C. called attention to the fact that on the sides of the step and rise the rug had been very carefully tacked down. Whoever put the stairpad and rug down used many more tacks than usual. Hidden Treasure Sees the Light of Day Mr. C. removed the tacks from the rug and pad on the top step and rise. He lifted up the rug and pad to find five plastic envelopes each containing a hundred-dollar bill. As he pulled down the pad to reveal the step-rise, another larger plastic envelope came into view. In this envelope was a parchment paper that looked yellow with age. He unfolded it to reveal to the startled eyes of both a “ treasure m ap.”

This authentic-looking treasure map gave complete directions for finding the first hidden treasure, We were to turn right so many feet and then left through a door and straight across the room to a wall, then up the wall 4 feet. With a sharp knife, the map indicated that we should cut away a rectangle three by five feet, Mr, C. cut away the heavy wallpaper. The three sisters had removed the plaster and built shelves between the two-by-fours. On these shelves were small, carefully wrapped antiques. Attached to each antique was a complete record of the item— date, and place bought, price and a complete history of similar items. The two men had to stop, go find chairs and sit down. Thoughts raced through their minds, words tumbled out of their mouths. Their first reaction was to run and tell everyone about the great discovery. They quickly discarded that thought. It would not be wise to publicize the find at this point. Finally, after their minds slowed down a little, and without un­ wrapping any more of the packages, they returned to the stairway and removed the carpet and pad from the next step and rise. There they found 10 plastic envelopes, each with a hundred-dollar bill. On the rise was another beautifully executed treasure map leading them to another location and more surprises as they cut away the heavy wallpaper. Again, these treasure hunters found it necessary to sit down in order to let their minds quiet down. Then Mr. C. observed that there were 18 steps. If the amount of money increased with each step and the number and value of the antiques to be found by means of treasure maps, how much could it all add up to? “ Let’s see what the bottom step has to offer,” said Mr. Strong as he held the guard rail firmly while descending the stairway. So, they removed the rug and pad on the first step from the first floor. Nine plastic envelopes were found, each containing a thousand-dollar bill. From the rise, they pulled out the eighteenth treasure map. This map lead the men to the master bedroom. It pointed direct­ ly to a large wardrobe. The instruction said to push the wardrobe to one side and remove the wallpaper over a door. The corners of the door had been marked by red dots on the wallpaper. Of course the doornob had been removed. Such a fine job had been done that no one would suspect that a large dressing room was behind that door. In this dressing room were all of the original paintings and the larger and more valuable antiques. They were all carefully wrapped to seal out dust and dampness. All had complete information about the article—-history, value and interesting stories not generally known by the public.

Some of you may remember that most houses built before the turn of the century did not have walk-in closets or any place to store clothes. They used wardrobes. The Wade master bedroom did have a walk-in closet and dressing room. This last find caused Mr. Strong and Mr. C. to come to the con­ clusion that they had had all of the excitement they could handle for one day. What should they do? Mr. C.’s announcing that there was $85,500 in bills on that stairway did not help any. Now thoughts of fear were taking over. Why in the world did the women do it? Suppose the house had burned down? Mr. Strong sug­ gested that they should first bring in an insurance man. They needed at least $100,000 worth of insurance at once. Mr. C. did not tell Mr. Strong about the Astral protection plan. He would do that later. Mr. C. excused himself and went into the bathroom. He im­ mediately went into a meditating situation and asked his Astral helpers to provide an Astral protection plan for the Wade home. He then returned and convinced Mr. Strong that they had better call it a day. No need to call in an insurance man or anyone else now. Mr. C. suggested that they both tell no one, get a good night’s sleep and meet at the Wade home at 9 AM the next morning. At that time they could make plans and bring the proper people into the picture. The Wade Home Today a Symbol of Hidden Treasure It’s a long, wonderful story of how the Wade Home of Hidden Treasure came into being. Mr. Strong first called a special meeting of the city council. Mr. C. told them the beautiful story. It was decided at once to set up a special board to handle this project created by the revealing of thousands of dollars worth of hidden treasure. Today, as you enter the Wade home, you are handed a beautiful­ ly bound book authentically describing all of the antiques and original paintings. This book contains the whole story of the finding of the treasure, including pictures of the 18 treasure maps as well as pictures of sections of the home where the treasure was hidden. This book was so well documented by the English teacher sister that it is in demand from antique dealers and art museums. She sure­ ly could not have left a more worthwhile legacy. As you tour the home, you can see where the treasures were hid­ den. A few have been left in their hiding places to give you an idea of how it was done. Even the special walls have been left as the three sisters built them. Many friends of the three sisters have tried to understand why those talented ladies did what they did. Did they long to find hidden

treasure somewhere, but their dreams never came true? I like to believe what they told me: “We had the time of our lives doing it.” However, no one can say it was not an original idea, it surely lends excitement and romance to the happenings. N o medieval stories of the activities of chivalric heroes or tales of extraordinary and mysterious events can top the true story of the three sisters as they traveled the world’s highways seeking valuable items to be hid­ den in their ancestral home for others to find and enjoy after they had passed to spirit. Sunken Treasure on the Great Lakes There are at least 2,166 sunken ships in Michigan waters. Some are considered to be of great historic and financial value. For exam­ ple, the Pewabic, built in 1865, was then the largest, most luxurious passenger ship on the Great Lakes. It sank, with a load of copper from Michigan mines, on Lake Huron near Alpena. Divers are now reporting that property from sunken ships in not more than 40 feet of water is disappearing very rapidly. Often everything of value is taken—-there are not a few treasure hunters on the Great Lakes. The State of Michigan, as has the State of Florida, is passing legislation protecting this sunken treasure. The chairman of the House Conservation Committee is quoted as saying, “ Property from many sunken ships is of great historic value. Anything taken from it should end up in a Michigan museum, not on somebody’s mantle or attic or in a museum in New York.” However, if you brought up the copper from the Pewabic, I am sure that it could be sold at a profit for you. In most any library, you will find a number of books concerning ships that have gone down to a watery grave. While these books may motivate you to go after sunken treasure, you really do not need them. Your Astral helpers will tell you where it is. If a Dog Can Predict the Future and Locate a Sunken Ship, So Can You At a port on Lake Ontario, a friend of Captain Bill Brian, of the ship Kamloops, presented him with “ Ginger,” an affectionate rustcolored puppy that was said to have the disposition of a happy Irishman. Ginger loved life on the freighter and quickly adjusted to being on shipboard. She became the ship’s mascot. However, Ginger

was always with the Captain as he carried on the ship’s business on board or in port. She slept under the Captain’s bunk at night. She always shared the watch in the pilot house. The Kamloops was scheduled to leave for Ft. William on December 1, 1927, with a load of wire and machinery for the Thunder Bay Paper Company. Before leaving Courtright, Ontario, the Captain, with Ginger at his side, went ashore to see old friends. When Ginger and the Captain returned at midnight, Ginger refused to go aboard the Kamloops. She outwitted all attempts to catch her. This went on for an hour until the Captain could not hold up the departure any longer. It was the first pilot house watch that Ginger had missed in two years. Friends called out that they would look after Ginger, To make a long story short, the Kamloops was last seen battling a violent storm near Isle Royale on Lake Superior. After the storm' several ships, including a Coast G uard cutter, searched for the Kamloops. It was never found. The following spring, the friends of Captain Brian put Ginger aboard another frieghter bound for Ft. William. While Ginger made it plain that she missed Captain Brian, she seemed to enjoy the trip as she did in the old days. However, when they came to Reweenaw Point Ginger ran under a bunk. As she huddled and shivered, she started to whine as if trying to tell all around that she knew where the Kamloops was. Many would agree that God had given this dog a wonderful but mysterious talent. However, if someone had told Captain Brian that his dog’s actions indicated that he should stay in port, would he have done so? Probably not. Edgar Cayce the famous psychic, was walking into the post of­ fice at Virginia Beach one day. Several girls came out of the post of­ fice. He stopped them and advised them not to make the trip that they had planned. Although Cayce had never seen these girls before, he predicted a tragedy in which all would be killed. One girl did not go; the other three went and were all killed. Saving Treasure From Becoming Lost, Buried or Sunken Captain Charles M ohr saved many a ship from going down to a watery grave. His own ship was the William Nelson. On the particular occasion that I am about to relate, he was car­ rying a load of sand down Lake Michigan to South Chicago. As he passed through the Straits of Mackinac, bad weather developed. His

156

first reaction was to head for a port and wait out the storm that he knew would be a bad one. However, he heard himself ordering the course of the William Nelson altered drastically. He ordered his men to take the ship down the east shore of Lake Michigan, through the dreaded Manitou Pas­ sage. The seas, building up the whole width of Lake Michigan, began to punish the William Nelson unmercifully. She rolled, smothered with white water. In the galley, dishes left their racks. In the firehold, the men were hard put to keep their footing. The crew could not un­ derstand why Captain M ohr had changed course. It didn’t make sense. At three o'clock the next day, the William Nelson came upon Our Son Ship, its distress flag snapped taut in the howling wind. The crew had given up and were simply waiting for the end to come. All of this really did not surprise Captain Mohr, for he had been a hero many times. Through his psychic power, he seemed destined to be in the right place at the right time. He had saved two men, two women and three children from a sinking yacht in Georgian Bay. He saved three men on a disabled yacht in Lake Erie. He had also rescued the crew on the yacht Mildred in a Lake Erie snow storm. He rescued four men and two women after their yacht capsized on Lake Erie near Kelley’s Island. As a result of all of Captain M ohr’s fearless actions in rescuing so many persons, he was given a Congressional Medal of Honor for what was termed “ one of the most daring pieces of seamanship in the history of navigation.” The medal, awarded by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, by authorization of Congress, was presented to Cap­ tain M ohr with suitable ceremonies, in the club rooms of the Inter­ national Ship Masters Association in Cleveland. It was the only such medal ever awarded to a Great Lakes shipmaster. Captain M ohr never really understood his psychic power, but you can. In all probability, someone from the Astral world alerted Captain M ohr to the need to save a ship and its crew or rescue those who had been shipwrecked. He literally kept human and physical treasure from becoming sunken treasure. You Can Guide Yourself or Others To Sunken or Buried Treasure It is not at all uncommon today to read about treasure hunters, following the directions of psychics, reclaiming sunken gold and silver from 300-year-old watery graves.

an eight foot goid chain valued at $200,000—or ingots of gold and silver, diamonds and other jewels? While the coast of Florida seems to be the most popular place to go treasure hunting at the moment, buried or hidden treasure can be anywhere. As Captain M ohr knew where he was needed to save lives and ships, so you can find out where you are needed as well as dis­ covering many kinds of treasure and objects of historic value which are now out of sight. Mother Bacon Comes to Visit— March 19, 1974 This was a memorable day for us. My grandmother Bacon an­ nounced that she would like to visit us in our home. Many of our Astral friends heard about this and came at our regular evening meditation time. Try to picture our living room for this occasion. Also present besides Mother Bacon were Phyllis Bacon, Mamie Bacon, N orm a Jean Baker, Kathleen Bergler, Benjamin Harrison, Virginia Jagger, Mary Jo Kopechne, Seward and Flora MacNitt, Lenna Moon, Hazel Shepard, George Stanton, Jackie Susann, Albert Wilmet, Inger Stevens, Paul Starr, Hilda Bland, Ruth, Santo, my wife’s grand­ parents and several others whom we could not identify. Mother Bacon had a message for our readers: “ May God go with you. “ I am standing here beside my grandson. My granddaughter has been playing the organ. She plays beautifully. It seems good to return to an earth home for a little while. “ You are now reading about hidden treasure. I know that you have found it a very fascinating subject. Over 100 years ago on our farm in Pennsylvania, I remember dreaming about finding hidden treasure. All we ever found were Indian arrowheads and a few other artifacts, but they were hidden treasure and meant a great deal to us. Of course, all this is nothing in comparison to what you have been reading about in this chapter. “ I was about ready to return to God when I became interested in the magic formula that was developed by my grandson, so I turned my thoughts again to earth that I might help. I had fully intended to return to God and become a part of that all-powerful G od Force. I had lost practically all human body characteristics but after I became interested in the work of my grandson, I reversed this condition so now I am standing beside my grandson with my body fully returned. “ I will stay with this project until the wonderful ship Helping

Yourself With Astral Power is launched and the earth lives of tens of thousands are made more prosperous, healthy and happy. “ I often wondered if I, while living on our farm in Pennsylvania, would have read my grandson’s book if it had existed and would have believed it to be true. I like to think that I would have believed every word of it, for I now know that it is true. “ While I wish you, the readers of this book, good fortune in finding hidden treasure, increasing your material benefits and m ak­ ing the most of all that the earth offers, I want to call your attention to another type of hidden treasure that the magic formula can open up for you. “ You know that you have returned to the earth plane many times. You have had thousands of experiences; you have learned many lessons and when you came back to earth this time, all of these experiences and lessons were hidden treasure within you. The magic formula will help you locate this hidden treasure, so that you can really live in all dimensions of the universe. I want you to find that hidden treasure. Deeper yet within your innermost self is the most wonderful hidden treasure of all—God. “ I notice that my grandson calls his spirit friends—and most of them are here tonight—Astral helpers. That name was well chosen. They are Astral helpers, just helpers. The great power to release this hidden treasure, to live life to the fullest, is within you. All we can do is help, but that help may be the ounce that tips the scales toward a prosperous, successful life. “ I hope that hundreds and thousands of you will form as wonderful a group of Astral helpers as my grandson has at his com­ mand. “ May God bless you.”

12. Helping Yourself To Regain Your Youthful Figure And Look And Feel 20 Years Younger With Astral Power I recently read Natalie W ood’s secret for staying slim. She states that she avoids the “punishment and reward” routine. She seems to feel that people on a diet consider themselves being punished. So, after they punish themselves for a while, they go off the diet feeling that they deserve a reward. I conclude from what she says that she went on a diet and stayed on it. Over the years, you have seen dozens of advertisements claiming that you can regain your youthful figure. After people get wise to the fact that these systems are rip-offs, new ones appear and the suckers fall in line again. “ Fabulous new lazy way to trim your hips, flatten your tummy and get back into shape! Use our ten-minute body cycle.” Here is the headline of another ad: “ Look Younger Overnight.” Still another—“ How to Eliminate Those Unsightly Orange Peel Bumps and Bulges called Cellulite,” “ Lose 30 Pounds in 120 Days with Wine Diet.” The other day, I noticed that a drug store had all the systems that are supposed to make you beautiful in body and mind lined up on one shelf. I lost count after observing 15 attractively boxed systems. Most of them include vitamins, some form of excercise and a diet. The most unusual reducing system that I noticed stated in bold type that you could regain your youthful figure through sexual inter­ course. I assume that this suggestion was meant for married couples—but suppose only one of the married partners needs to reduce. This system included some pep pills and instructions for 159

160

Helping Yourself Look and Feel 20 Years Younger

prolonging sexual intercourse (no quickies) and increasing the fre­ quency to up to four times daily. This might be a good “come on” for the popular massage parlors. We all know that the majority of such places are fronts for prostitution. If word got out that the overweight could reduce by en­ joying sexual intercourse, I am sure that business would pick up. Health Spas Are Popular GET IT ALL TOGETHER IN A NEW FIGURE FROM THE SPA! reads one ad. They do have fine equipment and their rates are generally reasonable. However, the National Research Council is demolishing the diet and excercise myths. Health departments are closing some of the spas down because of their claims. They may be fun, but don’t ex­ pect too much from any health spa program. Astral World Sets the Standard I have already told you that all persons in the spirit world look young. There are no overweight or underweight people there. There is only one conclusion that you can draw as far as the earth plane is concerned: that we are all supposed to be healthy, with youthful figures. Let’s Take a Trip to Tibet Before I tell you how my magic formula, R-C-C, can bring you a youthful figure, let me take you on a little trip three thousand years, back in time, during one of my incarnations. I was a Brahman priest in Tibet. Recently, with the help of Santo, my beautiful Japanese Astral helper, I regressed myself back 3,000 years. I wanted to see what I was up to at that time. Mary Jo, who was my wife during the time I was a Brahman priest, went with me. The first article that came to our attention after we arrived at the temple where I carried on my activities, was a hand-written book in Sanskrit. In this book were my conceptions of God and the universe. From the worn condition of the first page of this holy book, it was apparent that I had turned to it many, many times. It was a

prayer that began with the syllable that is still used today by many during their meditation period: “OM OooooM mm mm With our ears, may we hear what is good. With our eyes, may we behold thy righteousness. Tranquil in body, may we who worship Thee find rest. O ooooM m m m m Peace— Peace— Peace. O ooooM m m m m Hail to the Supreme Inner Self.”

I am sure that you will all agree that this prayer is as modern as the day it was written. I am certain that you will want to memorize it and use it many times, as I did 3,000 years ago and will from this day forward. I discovered that Brahman priests, through contemplation, saw within themselves the ultimate reality. They believed that God dwells deep within all creatures, hidden from sight. As I continued to read from this holy book, I suddently became aware of the fact I was a Brahman priest. I became aware of my physical self and that of my wife as we were then. I saw a narrow, thin face with high cheekbones, a dark pointed little goatee and a thin fringe of hair across the upper lip which traveled downward to each corner of my mouth. A Chinese gentleman, I thought, but no, as the picture became clearer, the narrow little black pill box hat, the hint of white around the neckline and what appeared to be a dark robe were those of a Brahman priest. My hair was pulled back tightly against my head in what was probably a braid. My face was ascetic, kindly and the eyes were gentle but the gaze was direct. My frame was small, but there was a feeling of strength flowing from it. Then I looked at Mary Jo, my wife during this incarnation. At first the outline of her face was indistinct, but gradually it became crystal clear and I saw before me the face of a beautiful Hindu woman. Her dark hair was piled high on her head and a small mantle of filmy material covered the top of her head. Her nose was rather large and prominent but well shaped. Her lips were full, and her eyes were so dark and luminous that they were almost madonna-like in their depth. Her eyes contained the softness and innocence of youth and the maturity of womanhood. They looked out on the world with a direct, honest gaze and there was just the suggestion of humor there. Her skin was dark and petal-smooth, with color around the high cheekbones. Her robe was made of a fine white linen-like material

162

Helping Yourself Look and Feel 20 Years Younger

trimmed with gold and purple braid—obviously, the dress of a woman who belonged to the first of five great classes of Hindus. I became fully aware of the fact that she was one of the women chosen to become wives of Brahman priests. “ Look—what is this?” I spoke to my wife as we both read. “ Sit upright, holding the chest, throat and head erect. Turn the senses and the mind inward to the lotus of the heart. Meditate on Brahman with the help of the syllable Om. Cross the fearful currents of the ocean of worldliness by means of that raft Brahman. With earnest effort, hold the senses in check. Control the breath, regulate the vital activities—meditate in a quiet place. “As you practice meditation, you may see crystals, silver streaks, fireflies, dots of light, beautiful colors in beautiful forms. These are signs that you are on your way to the revelation of Brahman. “As you become absorbed in meditation, you will realize that the inner self (Astral body) is separate from the body and not affected by age, disease or death. “The first signs that you are making progress are better health, cleanness of the complexion, a beautiful voice, an agreeable odor from your body and freedom from all craving.” As I read these words, 1 instantly knew where my magic formula R = C = C came from. I had used all of the elements of this formula 3,000 years ago. ! knew that I must read on quickly for Santo would soon want to have me progress rapidly through my many lives up to 1975 and return my Astral body to my physical body. Through all of this process, a silver cord emanating from my head had spanned the thou­ sands of miles from Michigan to Tibet and back to Michigan. Let’s go on. “The vast universe is like a wheel Upon this wheel are all creatures who are subject to birth, death and rebirth. Round and round it turns and never stops. It is the Wheel of Brahman. As long as a creature thinks that he is separate from Brahman, he revolves on the wheel in bondage to the laws of birth, death and rebirth. But when through the grace of Brahman, the person realizes his oneness with Him, he revolves upon the wheel no longer. He achieves oneness with God. “ Know God and all fetters will be loosed. Ignorance will vanish. Birth, death and rebirth will be no more. Meditate upon God and you transcend physical consciousness. Thus will you reach union with the God of the universe. Thus will you become identified with Him who is without a second. In God, all your desires will find fulfill­ ment.

“The truth is that you have always been united with God. But you must know this. There is nothing further to know.” “We must go back,” Santo spoke gently. “There is no more time.” “ Let me read a little more from this wonderful book that I knew so weli 3,000 years ago. Just give me a few more minutes,” I pleaded with Santo. “To realize and release the God within you, first control the out­ going senses and harness the mind then meditate that the inner self may be revealed behind the physical appearance. “ Great is the glory of the self-luminous being, the inner reality. “ Control the vital force. Release the inner self by the practice of meditation. Be drunk with the wine of divine love. “ Brahman is the one God, present in the North, the East, the South and the West. He is the creator. He is within all persons as the vital part of the Inner Self.” “We must go now, Take this precious book with you,” said Santo. “ As you meditate, it will be available to you. Come, let’s hasten back.” As we took our leave of Tibet as it was 3,000 years ago, we could not help but notice the healthy, youthful-looking people who made up the population. It was then that I fully realized that I, as a Brahman priest, had put the same elements that made up my magic formula to work. It was very evident that these people lived and loved on more than the purely physical level of the universe. It was equally true that all of their desires were fulfilled through their release of the all-powerful inner self. I saw no poverty—-only wealth, health and prosperity. It was Jackie Susann who insisted that I make this trip to Tibet. She felt that I should pinpoint the source of my magic formula. Jackie was not available to me when I developed the formula or wrote the first six chapters of this book. I am pleased that it worked out this way for I believe that now was the proper time to make this trip.

Transfiguration Made Easy The equipment needed to learn more about your past lives is all within your reach. Locate an old box camera that is about five inches long, three inches wide and four inches high. Make it easy to remove the back of the camera. Install an electric socket in the middle of the inner back of the camera. Put in a small red light bulb, the kind that is used in photographic dark rooms.

164

Helping Yourself Look and Feel 20 Years Younger

Remove the lens but keep the rim in place so that red filters can be attached if needed. You are now ready to produce transfigura­ tions. You will need an absolutely dark room and at least one other person who can successfully meditate with you. Seat your subject next to a wall of neutral color. Place the box camera with the red light attached about six to eight feet from the subject. Direct the red light on the face, head and shoulders of the subject. Use a red filter, if needed, to tone down the light to a soft glow. Experiment with this a little to get the light just right. Briefly go into a meditating situation as you observe what is happening. It may take a little while before you see any transfigura­ tions. If all goes well, you will soon see the subject’s face, head and shoulders change. The persons who appear are the subject’s former incarnations. With the aid of your Astral helper you may get the transfiguration to slow down or stop when ordered so that you can observe them more closely. This whole process is proof of the correctness of the Brahman teaching that the universe is like a wheel with all persons subject to birth, death and rebirth until they realize their oneness with God. If you just sit and watch the transfigurations of the subject go by, you will notice that after they have presented the total number of (count them) times the subject has returned to the earth plane, they start all over again. That process goes on continuously. Of course, someone else will need to observe your transfigura­ tions and tell you about them. You will need someone who under­ stands and believes what you are doing. The higher you can raise your vibrations, the more control you have over the transfigurations of another person, so that you can stop them or slow them down at any point for better identification of the time and place of the incar­ nation. It is very evident that by this procedure, you can prove reincar­ nation and the fact that you are influenced in your present life by all the other lives you have lived. Transfiguration by my method is easy. All it takes is the equip­ ment I have described, a dark room and one or more (but not more than four) other people working together to learn more about themselves. You may not get excellent results the first time, but keep trying. It will pay off soon.

Many Children Are Ashamed of Their Overweight Parents I have had a number of cases where the children of overweight parents have come to me for help in getting their parents to do something about this problem. These children are literally ashamed of their parents. Susan is a case in point. Not only were her parents very much overweight, but they did not keep themselves looking their best. This is understandable, since dragging 50 to 100 pounds of unnecessary fat around all day is no easy task. Then, too, it is difficult to get proper fitting clothes. The cleanliness problem is equally important. Susan would not bring any of her friends home. One look at Susan’s parents and the boys never dated her again. They assumed that she would eventually be a mountain of flesh just like her parents. Susan brought me a picture of her parents on their wedding day. I had trouble getting her parents to come to see me. They insisted that they had no problems and that there was no need to see a psy­ chologist. I finally got them to come in by stating that their daughter had a problem that she could not discuss with her parents. I showed them the picture of themselves on their wedding day. I told them bluntly that their daughter was ashamed of them. I con­ vinced them that they had an obligation to their children, to themselves and others to look like healthy, attractive human beings, not like tubs of fat. They got the point immediately without offering any senseless excuses. The rest was easy. R-C-C did the trick. Overweight People Are Literally Killing Themselves I once read a book by a medical doctor with a very appropriate title. It was Stop Killing Yourself. You would think that people would get tired of going around trying to get their breath. Just the thought of carrying all that excess baggage around should motivate overweight people to do something. i have also had quite a large number of adults who have been warned by their doctors concerning their overweight problem. It has been called to their attention that heart and other organ changes are beginning to show. How can any intelligent person say to his doctor “No one lives forever,” as many do? Phillip is a case in point. His doctor told him to reduce or die.

166

Helping Yourself Look and Feel 20 Years Younger

He reduced. His heaith is not only better, but he was also advanced occupationally and financially. I have even had cases where persons were told to reduce or lose their jobs. It would be interesting to know how many marriages are wrecked by an overweight partner.

Men Should Shape Up As Well As Women it seems that men like their women to be in good form. But men do not seem to realize that they should also keep off excess pounds of flesh. I often wonder why good-looking, shapely women put up with fat, sloppy men. Some of them don’t. Joyce insisted that her husband “ shape up or ship out.” He tried several reducing methods to no avail. He likes to eat, period. John finally came to me and reluctantly started my program of no dieting and no special exercises. Mental-action images did the job, reducing him about five pounds a week until the unwanted 52 pounds were off and the altered clothes were on. f hope that by now you have learned how to take trips into the Astral world. As I mentioned earlier in this chapter, you will discover that all spirits are beautiful. All look about 30 years of age except the children and those who wish to look older. They look healthy, without a pound of excess flesh. Those who were thin while living on the earth plane are now shapely also. But why wait until you get on the spirit side of life? My system will not give you a new arm or leg, but it will put you in good physical shape.

Skinny Ones Can Also Shape Up Nancy came to me certain that her lack of feminine curves was keeping men out of her life. She did want love and marriage. I could have told her things about her personality that did not attract men, but she did have a point as far as her shape was concerned. She had always been skinny, with a form more like a boy than a girl. I could not use the mental-action image technique right away. I had an artist come in during one of her appointments. He sketched a picture of her and came back several days later with a painting of Nancy and how she could look with a little more flesh, beautiful breasts and shapely legs. She used the painting to form mental-action images of herself in applying my formula. Nancy is now a very attractive woman, wife

167

and soon-to-be-mother. Her Astral helpers also changed her per­ sonality a bit. Always Remember: Mental-Action images Work Their Way Into Reality

People who get anywhere on the earth plane concentrate on what they want. They form many mental-action images and through my formula, those images become reality. God said, “ Let there be light,” and there was light. Thomas Edison said, “ Let there be light through the use of electricity,” and this came into being through the light bulb. Every millionaire once said “ I am going to be a millionaire,” and so a million dollars in the bank became a reality. A sick person says “ Let my body be healed,” and it is. Fatty says, “I am losing 100 pounds of unwanted flesh” and his mental-action image of himself without this excess baggage becomes a reality. OooooMmmmm God, through my Astral helpers, make it easy for me to eat properly. Charge my body with the eternal force and fill my mind with spiritual power. Eternal youth of body and mind, abide in me forever. OooooMmmmm. Hail to the Supreme Inner self.

13. Helping Yourself To Stop Smoking, Cure Emphysema And All 111 Effects Of Smoking With Astral Power Again, I would like to use myself as proof that my system works. I smoked for more years than I care to remember, I smoked cigars, cigarettes and a pipe. I was almost a chain-smoker. But one day, six years ago, I decided to quit cold turkey. Outside of a cough, I noticed no ill effects except that smoking greatly reduced my sense of smell and taste. I loved to smoke. However, I quit because smoking is a messy habit. I was always burn­ ing holes in my clothes, furniture and rugs and there were always ash trays that needed cleaning. Even with my reduced sense of smell, stale smoke smelled terrible. By my system, you quit cold—just stop smoking, period. You do not substitute anything for smoking. You do not follow any of the hundreds of so-called ways to stop smoking. My Astral helpers must receive full credit for my success. W hat worked for me will work equally well for you. I have no intention of getting into any arguments as to whether or not smoking is harmful. I have known of heavy smokers who died of lung cancer. I have also known of persons who never smoked in their lives who have died of lung cancer. Doctors present us with a long list of the detrimental effects of smoking—from yellow fingers to cancer and heart failure. I know of a medical doctor who tells his patients to quit smoking. He himself is a chain smoker. Anyway, I will not argue the point. However, if you have what is to you a good reason for kicking the habit, then my system will do the job for you. It makes no difference why you wish to discontinue the habit or how long you have smoked. 168

169

My Wife Tried Several Systems Without Success My wife is further proof that my system works. She tried several of the so-called plans for kicking the habit over a period of ten or more years. None of them worked. I kept telling her to quit cold like I did. She finally put my method to work. My father-in-spirit was her Astral helper. He made it possible for her to quit cold turkey. It has been over two years now since she smoked her last cigarette. She has no desire to smoke and did not gain weight. She has stopped spending money for cough syrup. She smoked for over 30 years.

Ted Thought Up His Own System—It Did Not Work I have discovered some smokers who developed their own plans for discontinuing smoking. Ted is a case in point. He started out his day with one cigarette in his coat pocket. When the urge to smoke would hit him, he told himself that he had only one cigarette so he had better save it until later. He generally ended up smoking the one and bumming from others to get through the day. His system did not work; my system does.

What To Do When Physical Conditions Can Be Traced To Smoking Sam had already stopped smoking when he came to me. It was his doctor who provided the motive for not smoking. Said his doctor, “ Stop smoking or die from emphysema.” He decided that he wanted to live, so he stopped smoking. However, he still had a bad case of emphysema. The same is true for hundreds of smokers who have kicked the habit. They stop too late for medical science to do anything for them. It is never too late for my magic formula unless you are actually at death’s door. Helen had a strong but too-rapid heart. Her doctor did not believe that smoking would kill her, but it would shorten her life. She attended classes using “ scare techniques”—motion pictures showing the terrible conditions of your body caused by smoking. She religiously followed the instructions put out by several well-known plans. None of these worked; her heart kept on beating too fast. Today, there is a new Helen. She did not even gain weight by my system. Her heart has slowed down to normal. She can smell and taste again. Even her frequent nosebleeds have ceased.

Women Do Not Find it More Difficult To Stop Smoking Than Men Under My System I have read that women find it more difficult to stop smoking than men. N ot so with my system. Paul and Pauline, as a husband-wife team, both decided to stop smoking. Paul kicked the habit by quiting cold turkey. Pauline tried to quit cold turkey but was back smoking after two weeks. Now both are off the weed for good. Paul went along with my system to keep his wife company and make sure that he was off for good. It also made it possible for both to discuss their progress. These are the factors necessary in my system: 1. Quit cold turkey 2. Get help from one of your Astral helpers 3. Do not substitute food, candy or anything else for smoking.

Never Permit Any Physical Matter To Control You Dean Martin is a slave to a three-inch roll of tobacco. He cannot get through one song without smoking a cigarette. There are millions who are slaves to tobacco. It is ridiculous for anyone to let anything physical control them. The material things around us are to fulfill our needs and desires, not to push us around. The alcoholic is a slave to alcohol; the drug user to drugs. These people have no control of themselves, It is equally ridiculous to let people push you around. Many people are just as much slaves as if someone had bought them at a slave market. Perhaps the most undesirable type of slavery today is being a slave to money. Many millionaires let money push them around. I have already called your attention to the man who read a book on how to get rich. He was rich and miserable until he applied my magic formula. There is nothing wrong with smoking, drinking, gambling, or making money as long as you stay in the driver’s seat. You must be in control of the physical; never let the physical control you.

Let A Mural Of The Parade Of Life Come Into Your Mind Picture your life from the very beginning—I mean from your first incarnation hundreds or perhaps thousands of years ago. Picture the beginning as the source of a river, gradually increasing in size as

Stop Smoking and Cure Its III Effects

171

you live each life, increasing in strength as you move to the “sea” or oneness with God. The sea is made up of many other rivers or individual lives which form the “ Sea of Life.” Picture yourself becoming more and more aware of your place in this great stream of life and flowing into it. I hope that I have succeeded in telling you that your life and all individual lives are aiming at something. I know not the ultimate goal of the creator, but it is an inspiring thought to feel that each of us is an expression of life and the great intention. If you view life in this manner, you cannot help acquiring a sense of responsibility and a desire to make yourself culturally valuable. As you let this mural unfold in your mind, your total life seems similar to a relay race in which you are given the opportunity of car­ rying on and adding to the contributions of past generations. You will become aware that the race of life is becoming accelerated. Your past lives and the past lives of all humans have given much that you may carry on. As you come to the end of this mural that you are picturing in your mind, ask yourself these questions: What am I doing with my own personal life? Have I allowed runners from past generations to cross the finish line while I watched indifferently? Am I leaving achievement to others? Am I a slave to one or more physical things resulting in my getting nowhere? Have I all the things that bring prosperity but still do not have hap­ piness and the feeling of fulfillment? Or am I getting the supreme thrill that comes with counting myself in on all that is important in the total universe?

Does Your Goal Release Astral Power? Recently, a patient of mine stated “The girl I love is too good for me. I have no future. I think that I will marry a girl who demands nothing—who will not expect me to be a success.” I said, “ I suppose you will stay home and vegetate while your wife is out earning a living.” This young man has taken his place in “the groove of failure.” He is too lazy to even watch the miracle of mental-action images

172

becoming reality. He will not act aggressively and fearlessly when it comes time to move toward the type of goal that will free him from the birth-slavery to the physical death-rebirth cycle. My formula will give you a balanced physical, mental, emotional and spiritual life that makes not only for health, wealth and happiness but movement toward oneness with God. My Astral Helpers Agree That a Balanced Life Goal is Needed When I first started teaching psychology in college, I told my stu­ dents that to understand themselves, they needed to trace every aspect of their lives back to early childhood. I now know that that is only a small part of the truth. You need to trace every aspect of your life back through all of your incarnations to your very first trip to the earth plane. Your balanced life goal must take into consideration everything that has happened to you for hundreds—or even thousands—of years. Astral Helper Howard Townsley, M.D., Reports Dr. Townsley was our family doctor while we lived in Ohio. He was killed in an auto accident in California. He is now again our family doctor. He is the one who made it possible for me to continue living on the earth plane. 1 have already told you that I was scheduled to pass to spirit on February 20, 1972. I remember how surprised we were to hear the news of his death. We had heard part of the story but did not know about the auto acci­ dent or why he was in California. Part of Dr. Townsley’s success and failure story can now be told. He was a very successful general physician with many patients who developed a great love and respect for him. He regularly took his turn as head of the osteopathic hospital in this Ohio city. He not only was a fine physician but a good business manager. However, he and his wife did not get along well. I do not know all the details, but I feel sure that Dr. Townsley was not the primary cause of the trouble. Dr. Townsley made the biggest mistake of his life when he decided to just disappear from his home town, wife and family, friends and associates. He now knows that he should have divorced his wife rather than walk out on his whole life situation. To this day, he does not know why he decided to give up all that he had worked so hard to get.

173

No one in this Ohio town knows what happened to Dr. Townsley, and may never know. There were rumors that he went to Mexico, but no trace of him has ever been found. They do not know that he is now on the spirit side of life. If disappearing from the earth plane without a trace can be called a success, then he was successful. A doctor friend of Dr. Townsley prepared false documents that made it possible for Dr. Townsley to identify himself with a Califor­ nia hospital. Dr. Townsley will not tell me the name that he used. When Dr. Townsley was killed, his doctor friend did not dare reveal the truth and send the body back to Ohio or he would have been in deep trouble, so he took care of the burial and closed the door on his friend’s practice of medicine in California. Dr. Townsley now sees his big mistake. He tells me that he is very sorry that he did not use a better method of handling his family’s affairs. “ If I had had a balanced life goal and the traits necessary to move toward that goal, I would never have done what I did. I had everything anyone could ask for: all the money I needed, and the respect of my medical associates and patients. Why did I do it? I just felt that I had to get away from it all,” Dr Townsley told me this and much much more about the terrible mistake that he made. I do not suppose that anyone knows how many people try to solve their problems by disappearing. Do they really solve anything? “ Dr. MacNitt and his wife had confidence enough in me to let me handle their medical problems. I did not believe that I needed a psychologist. I thought that I could handle my own problems. How wrong I was! You who read this book are lucky. You will not make the mistakes that I and hundreds like me made,” Dr. Townsley con­ cluded this discussion of his disappearing act. “One more question, Doctor. Should I inform your wife where you are?” I asked. “Please don’t,” was his simple reply. Well, anyway, we are glad that Dr. Townsley reappeared and is with us to help in any way he can. Astral Helper Inger Stevens Reports Inger tells me that if my book had been available to her, she would still be on the earth plane. “ I had everything anyone could want. I had $50,000 in the bank, was scheduled to start a new T.V. series, and had many true friends. Why did I do it? Why did I decide that I did not want to go on living?

Why did I keep my marriage a secret?” Inger talks reluctantly about her life on the earth plane. I asked her why she married a black man. She told me that she thought that color made no difference when you were in love. However, she was not ready to face the world with her marriage or she would not have kept it a secret. Why? inger can ask many questions, but she still does not have all of the answers to her own questions. She is happy to be a member of our Astral helpers’ team and ful­ ly expects to receive as much help as she gives. I sincerely hope that by now you fully realize that through my book you can help not only yourself but also many on the spirit side of life. They need our help also. Later in this chapter, I will tell you about Inger’s very valuable contribution.

Astral Helper Norma Jean Baker (Marilyn Monroe) Reports I have been in contact with N orm a Jean for some time. She is as beautiful now as she was on the earth plane. She is with me now as I write these lines. She throws little dots of silver and gold light on the paper to let me know that she is here. I have seen her in gorgeous color several times. I can feel her presence. She is also very close to my wife. They were good friends 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem. Norm a Jean wants the world to know the true story of her pass­ ing to spirit. She returned the last time to learn a few lessons from be­ ing an illegitimate child. She tells me that the various accounts of her early life are reasonably accurate. She did indeed learn many valuable lessons. N orm a Jean was not murdered, nor did she commit suicide. She will tell you exactly what happened. “ I was very depressed all day Saturday, August 4. These feelings had gotten worse ever since 1 was released from my last picture. Dr. Greenson spent several hours with me Saturday, but it really did not help. 1 really needed my good friend Ralph Roberts, but since Mrs. Murray was planted in my home by Dr. Greenson, I did not see him very often. His massage treatments could have helped me that fatal night. I called him, but could not reach him. “ It is little wonder that Mrs. Murray took an extended trip to Europe. She must have felt very guilty. I was not really ready for Dr. Greenson’s plan of getting rid of my dependency upon others. “ I did not eat very much that last day. The informal dinner at­

tended by Peter, Pat, Bobby and Mrs. Murray was not a happy occa­ sion because Í threw a blanket of despair over them. I asked Bobby to stay with me, but he refused. Eventually, the party moved to Peter’s beach house. Naturally, Mrs. Murray did not go. “When the party got under way, Bobby called and wanted me to change my mind. Others had joined the party and it became a free­ wheeling event. Bobby’s asking me to join such a party only greatly increased my feelings of depression. I thought that he had more respect for me. Jack always treated me with great respect. “ I never did like those Hollywood parties and was refusing to take part in them with greater frequency. I loved to be loved but I never considered these actions love. “ My depressed feelings after Bobby called were really getting me down. Í went to the bathroom and got rid of what little food I had eaten. I then started taking the pills that Dr. Engelberg had prescribed the day before. “Then I took off all my clothes and lay nude on my bed. My mind was a whirl. My whole life seemed to come into my mind for me to view. It surely was not a pretty picture. Yet, there was Joe whom I really did love and still do. He was my greatest love and the only one worth mentioning. “ As my life passed in review, I kept taking the pills. I then realized that Í needed help, I called Ralph, but could not reach him. It seemed that I could not keep my hands off that bottle of pills. Soon they were all gone and I was slipping away fast. I made one more ef­ fort to reach someone on the phone but it was too late. “ My Astral Record indicates that I passed over at 11:35 P.M. I have also discovered that a higher spiritual force decided that my life on earth should be terminated. The future would have created only more problems. After all, my mission on earth had been completed. “You can call it suicide or an accident. It makes little difference to the spirit world how you label it. I had completed my mission on earth and there was no point in my staying longer. Over the hundreds of years, I had advanced to a really high level of consciousness. This record was now in jeopardy. Now you know the truth; may God bless you all.” Norm a Jean has told me many times that she wished she had known me while on the earth plane. She is sure that I could have helped her. It is apparent that her psychiatrist did not help her. Norm a Jean is now a very valuable member of our Astral helpers’ team. She has promised to stay with us for as long as we need her help.

Astral Helper Lenna Moon Reports Lenna, my wife’s mother, was the first contact that I made with persons on the spirit side of life. She had been trying to get through to us for years. She has brought in nearly all of the persons from the Astral world that I have contacted. She has even brought in such famous persons as Edgar Cayce and Bishop Pike, Lenna is a free soul on the fifth level of consciousness. She has been extremely valuable to us and surely is one of the most important members of our Astral helpers’ group. “ I am certain that you realize how important I consider your book. Even on the earth plane, I must have realized the importance of a balanced life goal, for I read and reread your ‘My Creed' many many times,” Lenna told me. The “ My Creed” poem came to me one day many years ago when I was in a very disturbed emotional state. I have no idea where it came from but I do know that my wife was not surprised to find a copy of “ My Creed” in her mother’s Bible after she passed to spirit. Here it is: M Y C R EED I seek no honor where’er I go That I, through service, have not won; N or plead that any good shall flow Into my life, if I, to none Have given joy. None questions but the voice within. Judge and accuser is my soul. My mind is that stern discipline That ever seeks to keep me loyal. I must be true. My Savior, the deeds that I have done— From these alone, my faith is grown. My crown, the love that I have won; And deep within is God, enthroned In all His glory!

Astral Helper Santo Reports N o group of Astral helpers is complete without at least one from the Far East. N orm a Jean brought Santo to our group. She was the wife of a Japanese banker and passed to spirit about two years ago. Everyone of our group deeply appreciates the fine contribution that Santo and Tryko, a Japanese exorcist, have made. Santo is a very wonderful person to have around. “ I believe that many copies of your book will be sold in Japan. It might be well to translate it into several languages. Each and every one of the members of Mother Bacon’s constellation of Astral helpers knows that you have pictured the truth more correctly than many writers have done. I am very proud to be associated with this fine movement to get people to really understand and live fuller lives while on earth. It pleases me greatly that at last we in spirit are not considered dead or ghosts but that we can continue to live and con­ tribute to a better life for our earth friends.”

Astral Helper Virginia Jagger Reports As reported earlier in this book, I found Virginia in an Astral rest home. She passed to spirit as a result of a massive cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 50. She is a very beautiful redhead. Virginia was married to the same man three times. She divorced him twice. She now knows that she should never have married him even once. It was all a big mistake. “ If I had known Dr. MacNitt, I would still be on the earth plane. A better balanced life goal would have resulted in a very dif­ ferent approach to my physical life. I also now know that I had many far better times on earth than the last one. I surely messed this one u p .”

Astral Helper Hazel Shepard Reports Hazel was a well-known medium in Middletown, Ohio. Many business executives contacted her regularly. Her predictions were ex­ tremely accurate. Now that Hazel is on the spirit side of life, she is helping me in the business world. My wife will soon be writing her book, Peaceful Mission.

“ Many persons tried to contact me through some rather famous mediums after I passed over. I never responded to any of those calls. “ I came in the first time Dr. MacNitt tried to contact me because I like what he is doing. I now come in regularly every evening when our gang gets together.”

Astra! Helper White Cloud Reports Every group of Astral helpers should include an American In­ dian. White Cloud is a “ medicine man.” Dr. Townsley says that he is a very fine doctor. White Cloud will come in when we call him. “ You have good doctor. You don’t need me,” White Cloud tells us. “ You call, I come running,” he adds. White Cloud has given me treatments several times. I felt better instantly.

AS! of Our Astral Helpers Believe in My Magic Formula Our other Astral helpers are just as important to us as the ones I have just mentioned, There is Mamie, a wonderful blond beauty; Hilda, an English gal with a salty tongue; Phyllis, whom Mother Bacon describes as having a healing touch; Albert, a former medium; Ruth, a willing helper; Kathleen; my father, who has given us priceless help; Jackie and Mary Jo, whom I have written about in other chapters. We love them all but the greatest of all is Mother Bacon. Get busy and get your own group of Astral helpers. They are priceless. Well-Known Surgeon Tells How To Stop Smoking Dr. Arthur Weaver, a Detroit surgeon, states that he probably saves more lives in his smoking clinic than in the operating room. I like his advice concerning how to stop smoking, or I would not quote him in my book. Dr. Weaver states that the only way to successfully stop smoking is to quit cold turkey. You have to choose to stop smoking, and you have to mean it to the core of your soul. It doesn’t make any dif­ ference how miserable you will feel if you have chosen to stop smok­ ing and you mean it. “There is nothing in the world that can stop you from being a non-smoker,” insists Dr. Weaver. Dr. Weaver suggests that you eat plenty of fruit and drink lots of

water. If you crave a cigarette, drink a glass of water and say to yourself, “ Bye bye nicotine.” There are other parts of Dr. Weaver’s program that I do not agree with. I do agree that you should quit cold turkey. The one big difference between Dr. Weaver’s program and mine is my magic for­ mula. You also need an Astral helper to get you off the weed.

Doris Kicks the Habit Doris is the secretary for a human engineering firm in Chicago that I write reports for. I frequently talk to her over the phone. One day she mentioned that she had tried unsuccessfully many times to stop smoking. I offered to help. She has not even read my book. I gave her in­ structions over the phone. I loaned her one of my Astral helpers, who has been with Doris for several weeks now. It is evident that Doris is off cigarettes for good this time. Here is what Doris has to say, “The last time I tried to stop smoking was eight years ago. I started back after three months of agony. My weight increased from 120 to 131 pounds. That made me start to smoke again. I did not want to get fat. “ When I stopped this time, it did not seem so difficult. I feel that someone is helping me not to eat as well as not to smoke. “ During the day, it is most difficult of all not to smoke or eat because I am sitting at a desk and not moving around. When I am at home, S am moving around and don’t think about it. It is becoming less difficult as the weeks go by. I have not gained any weight.” “ When I want a cigarette, it seems that someone is talking to me telling me all the advantages of not smoking and encouraging me to stick it out.”

Four Steps to Stop Smoking 1. During your meditation, build mental-action images of yourself going through your day without smoking. 2. Stop smoking cold turkey. 3. Substitute'nothing for smoking. 4. Get an Astral helper to stay, with you and help you. This is very important—you must have an Astral helper.

14. How To Use The Magic Formula R-C-C To Give Immediate Relief From AH Aches, Pains, Nervousness And Tension There are four and one-half million people involved in health care throughout the United States. They work in over 600 job titles. Apparently it takes more than doctors and nurses to keep us from dy­ ing. There are even 3,700 cytotechnologists who specialize in examin­ ing tissue slides for warning signs of cancer. These professionals have had from two to 12 or more years of training for their work. With all of this, we build bigger and better equipped medical research centers. They keep telling us that there is still a shortage of doctors. Then there are thousands of quacks who tell us that they can cure everything from ingrown toenails to cancer. The pills and bot­ tled cures and metal and plastic contraptions are endless. However, let me tell you about just one, “ for the rapid invigoration of human beings when sick or fatigued or debilitated from any cause.” It costs $20.50 and consists of a metal contraption called an oxydonnor which is connected by a long tube to a bottle of tonic. The user straps the oxydonnor around his ankle and lets the tonic flow through the tube against his leg. This magic tonic was found to be 90 percent water.

Your First Health Mental-Action Image During meditation, the first mental-action image that you must form and dwell on is to picture yourself going through each day, week, month and year without using any drugs. Drugs kill thousands of people every year. Make sure that you are not one of them. 180

It is understandable why many insurance companies will no longer insure doctors against malpractice suits. The damage that some physicians and surgeons cause is tremendous, yet they keep coming up with even more dangerous methods of treating our health problems.

Agnis Gets a New Grip on Life Agnis became a very beautiful girl at 18 when my formula gave her a new grip on life. She was sixteen when she ran away from home and headed west. She joined up with a young man who had also left home. They lived together as they continued to make their way west. He picked up odd jobs and she was a waitress. When they reached Los Angeles, she was pregnant and ready to deliver. At this point, her boyfriend disappeared. A social agency found a home for her. She put the baby up for adoption. Naturally, her social worker tried to get her to go back home. This she would not do, but she did consent to let them contact her uncle in Ohio. He was a medical doctor. Her uncle agreed to provide a home for her, so she headed back east. When she returned to Ohio at 18 she was still nervous and tense, with feelings of guilt and uselessness. She also had many fears. The only help that her doctor uncle gave her was to provide her with sleeping pills. Over the weeks, she accumulated a stock of sleeping pills and then one night swallowed all of them. Two doctors worked on her for 24 hours to save her life. It was after she had recovered from her suicide attempt that her uncle sent her to me for help. The first time I saw her, she was more determined than ever to end her life on the earth plane. Perhaps you are wondering where to start in a case like this. This is never a problem with my system. As with all cases, I started by teaching Agnis how to meditate. With tongue in cheek, I told her that since she was determined to die she should learn to meditate, raise her vibrations and through Astral projection take a little trip over on the other side to inform them she would soon be there. I told her that she ran away from home and that did not turn out so well so now she wanted to run away from life. I know that she did not believe me but she did agree to learn to meditate. I knew that meditation could clear her body and mind of tension, nervousness, pounding heart, dizzy spells, frequent headaches and feelings of uselessness. Of course, you could guess that when I first saw her, she was not

182

Immediate Relief From Aches, Pains, Nervousness and Tension

beautiful. Adding an overweight problem to all her other psy­ chological and physical conditions did not spell beauty. One of the most satisfying results of my work with people has been to see the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual change that comes over them as the days go by. Of course, all of this comes about through the full release of your inner self and all of the Astral power that goes with such release. If you have a group of Astral helpers, all the better. My magic formula gave Agnis a new grip on life. She is now a more beautiful girl than she ever has been. She has decided to take a “ rain check” on passing over to the spirit side of life. She radiates all of the positive qualities that come to you when you enlarge your world and get out of those dark corners of fear and uselessness. Do you have any idea how many people shorten their brief stay on earth because dangerous drugs are available to them? Do you realize that thousands of persons are today hooked on drugs? The first such drug may have come to them through a prescription from their own personal physician. Do you know how many weeks or months it takes to get rid of drugs in your system after you stop using them? There are places in the U.S. where you can go to have your body detoxified. It takes weeks of special treatment to produce a healthy condition in your organs again. Deaths caused by the accumulation of drugs are all too common.

Mr. E. Goes Back to Washington, D.C. a Changed Man Mr. E. came to me from Washington, D.C. tight with tension. Physically, all that he needed was dental work, but he complained of headaches, dizzy spells, pains in his chest, burning urination, tiredness, insomnia and a long list of other aches and pains. Occupationally, he was a microfilm supervisor. Apparently, he had been nervous all of his life. He told me that at 21 he was hospitalized for a nervous breakdown. He had another nervous breakdown at the age of 26. He had attempted suicide twice. Month after month, he went from one doctor to another. For­ tunately, he had sense enough to refuse shock treatments and a lobotomy. After arriving in town, but before he came to my office, he had another complete physical examination at another doctor’s office. He still believed that he had heart trouble, cancer and several other con­ ditions. My first job was to keep him from spending more money with medical doctors.

At this point it must be made clear that symptoms, aches and pains are not necessarily caused by germs, a virus or other disease conditions. The sensory endings reporting this negative condition are touched off by emotionally toned, very negative mental-action im­ ages. Mr. E. was forming mental-action images galore, but they were the wrong kind. Mental-action images can kill as well as cure you. They can make you a poor man or a rich man, make you happy or miserable, put you on the highest Astral level or keep you locked in a small dark corner of the physical world. Don’t blame anyone else. You set the stage for all your life activities and don’t you ever forget it. My job was to get Mr. E. to realize that his mental-action images were all wrong. He himself brought on all of his symptoms that were producing aches, pains, dizziness, insomnia, heart pains, headaches, etc. My magic formula solved his problem in less than a week. His sister called me from Washington, D.C. after he returned to tell me of the great change in her brother. Mrs. F. Dumps Her Basketful of Emotional Problems Mrs. F.’s family physician thought that she was suffering from a coronary insufficiency; She was surely tight with tension and had many fears and feelings of insecurity. Before Mrs. F. married, her mother filed suit for divorce from her father 14 times. The court finally ordered her to stay away from the county court house. Mrs. F. was in a constant state of anxiety for as long as she could remember. Her parents’ arguments were so violent that she, as a little girl, often hid under her bed for hours. Mrs. F. had a complete nervous breakdown a short time after her marriage. She was literally tense from head to toe. Her mind was filled with fears and anxieties. The smallest disturbing situation would touch her off for hours or even days. She was very poorly ad­ justed to her husband sexually. She had no friends or social life. Here again, we have an illustration of the need to “ kick the doc­ tor and drug habit.” Her medical bills not only kept her husband broke but heavily in debt. Many doctors will finally tell such patients that there is nothing medical science can do for them. However, there are doctors who will find something wrong and keep the patient coming for years. I did not work with Mrs. G, but her husband told me that his wife spent over $40,000 with one doctor. While visiting her daughter in another state, Mrs. G., at the urging of her daughter, had a complete physical

184

examination. The daughter’s doctor found nothing wrong with the mother. She was told that she had not needed any of the treatments that had been given her for the past 20 years.

Dr, A. Finally Sees the Light This physician knew that he was tight with tension. Several years before his complete nervous and physical breakdown, he called me one day and said that he was going to put himself in my hands. He failed to do this until the breakdown came. At that time, his blood pressure was 220 and he was losing his sense of reality. It would have been easy if he had learned my system earlier. However, conditions are never really hopeless, as far as the Astral helpers are concerned. The doctor still hates to admit that modern science had no answers for him.

Eliminating Aches, Pains and Nervousness a Breeze With My Magic Formula Just spending a few minutes each day meditating according to my formula will by itself make you a different person. There is no reason in the world for anyone to suffer from tension or pain of any kind. There is no reason why anyone should spend vast sums of money buying pain killers, sleeping pills or chemical relaxers. This is true whether or not the cause of the symptoms is emotional, mental or physical. True self-knowledge and understanding is absolutely necessary for health, wealth and happiness. You get this through meditation according to my formula. You must find the truth about yourself and must become fully aware of what you think about yourself. If you have a positive image of your potential, build on it. If you do not like the image that you have of yourself, then become fully conscious of this fact and proceed to change it. I have already called your attention to the fact that most all ill­ ness symptoms are the result of negative images. M ake up your mind and keep telling yourself that you will respond only to positive con­ structive, thoughts. Negative thoughts must be erased or they will produce negative conditions—headache, despondency, lack of con­ fidence, fears or pain. If you have pain or aches, form an image of this condition being in the past and of yourself already beginning to feel better. In this way you are not telling your body to keep producing the ache or pain, tension or negative emotional condition.

How many times have you heard people keep saying, “ I have a headache,” or “The pain in my legs is terrible; it will not let up.” I know of people who seem to delight in having a dozen or more bad physical conditions. “ My pleurisy is worse today. I have skin cancer, arthritis and indigestion. My head aches all the time.” These people keep all of these complaints in good working order by negatively con­ firming them every time they talk to anyone and many times to themselves. When you erase negative thoughts, do not repress them. They will go underground and keep on causing physical symptoms. Force these negative thoughts out and replace them with positive images. Please remember that if you direct a negative thought toward another person, you hurt him. If you bury this thought, you hurt yourself and it will reappear as a symptom of some kind. Always remember: your body will be healthy automatically and continuously if you do not build negative mental-action images and project them on your body.

Illness is Not Always Bad Any individual who is determined to change himself for the bet­ ter may become ill in the process. Changing attitudes, habits or your philosophy of living requires many changes in your personality. All of this requires energy. As you expend more and more energy to car­ ry out the changes in your personality, your resistance to all the negative forces around you is lowered, so you develop symptoms and actually become sick. This point is most clearly illustrated by the expression that you have all heard: “The operation was a success but the patient died.” Any operation and many medical treatments are a shock to the whole nervous system and personality. An increased flow of energy to the area being treated by an operation and drugs takes away needed energy from all vital organs that need even more energy to overcome the shock to the total nervous system. If great increases in energy are not forthcoming, the patient dies. Now you can see the value of prayer for those suffering grave il­ lnesses. Astral power can provide an increased flow of energy in times of great need during a physical crisis.

Helen Nearly Gave Up Her Fight To Stop Smoking One day when Helen’s personal physician was reviewing the results of his examination of her, he suggested that she stop smoking.

186

Immediate Relief From Aches, Pains, Nervousness and Tension

Helen resisted the idea. She loved to smoke. She had smoked for over 20 years. However, she agreed to stop smoking by gradually cut­ ting down the number of cigarettes she smoked. Within 36 hours, Helen became a nervous wreck and developed many symptoms of illness. Her doctor gave her some medicine and assured her that those symptoms had nothing to do with her decision to stop smoking. He told her that all of her symptoms were common among his patients at the moment. But Helen kept getting worse. She literally had to take to her bed. Finally, her doctor told her to go back to smoking. Within 24 hours, all of her symptoms disappeared. Helen is just one of thousands who have had similar experiences. One illness after another or a very nervous condition is the lot of many who try to stop smoking, drinking or changing any habit or way of thinking. I knew that Helen had tried to stop smoking on the advice of her doctor. I asked her one day if she really did want to stop smoking? Was she fully convinced that smoking was bad for her? She answered yes to both questions, so I agreed to help her. For the second time, Helen stopped smoking. I told her that the illness symptoms would probably reappear, and they did—right on schedule. However, Helen was ready for them this time. She had learned the basic principles of my magic formula. She knew how to form mental-action images. I told Helen to admit that all of the illness symptoms were pre­ sent, plus all the pain and nervousness that went with them. After recognizing their presence, Helen was instructed to think of herself during her„meditation period as moving away from these symptoms to better health and freedom from smoking. Helen was also instructed to ask her unconscious mind and/or her Astral helpers to find the cause of these illnesses and her ner­ vousness. Once the buried problems were raised to full consciousness it would be that much easier to eliminate the symptoms and get on with the business of never smoking again. It appears that Helen’s parents objected to their daughter’s smoking. In place of telling her parents that it was her desire to smoke and that they might as well accept this fact, she smoked but never let her parents know that she was smoking. Her buried resent­ ment against her parents was still a part of her personality and produced nervousness and illness when she stopped smoking. Helen also uncovered several other problems that had never been solved and were directly related to her 20 years of smoking. She

187

freed herself from the negative effects of those problems. It thus became easier for her to carry forward her resolution to stop smoking—completely. The withdrawal symptoms connected with the use of alcohol and drugs can be explained in the same way. Find or expose the con­ ditions that started the excessive use of alcohol and drugs in the first place, and you are well on your way toward solving the problem. i was once asked to talk before a group of Alcoholics Anonymous. I made them angry when I told them that alcoholism was not a disease. I told them that if they could locate the emotional problems that caused excessive drinking in the first place, they could control their drinking. For several weeks after my talk, I received telephone calls telling me that they agreed with me but did not dare say so. Several also stopped me on the street to tell me that they agreed with me. I still feel that what I told them is true.

Illness is Always a Part of a Growing, Changing Personality How well do I remember how puzzled I was years ago when I heard a philosophy professor state, “ You cannot have good without bad.” It was many years before I could really accept this as true. We might also say that you cannot have health without illness. You can be good because you were bad. You can be healthy because you were sick. Illness can be a healthy reaction if the personality problems in­ volved are solved. Illness represents a new unifying system within the personality. For example: In the case of Helen, who wanted to stop smoking, illness made her face her problems concerning smoking. A new un­ ification of the personality without the need to smoke was the final result. Your body and mind are always changing, growing or declining. There must be a unifying action to keep the personality functioning at all. Illness may therefore help maintain a balance of the elements that go to make up the personality, while at the same time pointing out that you have problems that need your attention. In the majority of instances of illness, you are not held up in the positive process unless the illness continues for a long time without any problem solving occurring. Unfortunately, there are too many people who use long illness to give them a sense of security. Let me repeat—physical sickness, when not critical or terminal, and when it does not involve the loss of a leg or arm, invariably

188

Immediate Relief From Aches, Pains, Nervousness and Tension

represents problems that are in the process of being solved or problems that need to be brought out into the open. I am now thinking of a company that appears to be a wonderful place to work. The physical environment is as near perfect as one could hope for. However, because of poor management and unusually low morale, sickness is the order of the day. This establishment has its quota of alcoholics and drug users. The majority of the employees are picking up all the viruses and disease germs that love to camp out in this building. For them business is good. Since the only answer that the president of this company ever gives to any constructive suggestions is “ no,” the only solution to an employee’s problem is to recognize this state of affairs and adjust to it or, better yet, get another job.

The Contribution of Your Astral Helpers To Meeting the Problems of Illness Through positive mental-action images applied by my magic formula, you can successfully handle the problem of illness on your own. However, do not discount the great importance of your Astral helpers. They can eliminate minor aches and pains instantly, help you locate your emotional problems that need solving, find a spirit doctor who has specialized in what you may need, and give you comfort and encouragement as you meet your illness problem head on. But remember what M other Bacon told you: “They are helpers.” It is up to you to find and release the great God-force within you. If you do this you will never be sick.

15. How The Astral Helpers Bring Healing For Hopeless Ailments With Astral Power There have been thousands of books and articles written about supernatural healing or healing without benefit of drugs or other forms of traditional therapy. This type of healing is generally called divine healing or faith healing. I call it healing with Astral power. Healing By Supernatural Power is a Fact Supernatural power healing is not only a fact, but it can be less and less disputed by scientists, doctors or other groups of “doubting Thomases.” Healing takes place by the Holy Spirit, as some say. I will prove to you that healing comes through the application of Astral power through your Astral helpers or by yourself. People who have been healed by supernatural means describe the process in many ways. Some say that they were cured instantly. Some talk about the intense heat in the healing area. Some talk about healing over a period of days and weeks. Others talk about healing that makes an operation more successful. It is apparent that there are many ways in which the Holy Spirit or Astral power, with or without helpers, can heal. There Are a Few Excellent Divine Healers I have already told you about Kathryn Kuhlman. I have wit­ nessed the Holy Spirit at work in two of her services and received beneficial healing from one of them. She loves to come to Ann Ar­ bor. 189

The point that I would like to make now is that using my magic formula while attending one of these healing services will result in your receiving more positive benefits from the service. Your Astral helpers will know their way around.

Ideally, You Can Handle The Whole Healing Process For Yourself or Others By Yourself Healing has become big business for Kathryn Kuhlman. Her voluntary contributions amount to over two million dollars a year. Hundreds of grateful people have also sent her valuable gifts from all parts of the world. It is estimated that the value of these gifts which have accumulated over the years is well over one million dollars, lars. Kathryn Kuhlman has at least 12 Astral helpers who do healing by applying the Holy Spirit or Astral power. There is nothing to stop you from doing the same. There is no question but that the words health, happiness and prosperity apply to Kathryn Kuhlman. She is rich, famous, the picture of health, and divinely happy in her work. Although Kathryn Kuhlman adheres to old-fashioned fun­ damentalist religious beliefs, she sees no evil in making money or en­ joying all the physical pleasures available in the earth plane. She loves beautiful clothes and spends large amounts of money on look­ ing her best physically.

My Magic Formula Kept Me From Passing To Spirit Again, I should like to prove that my magic formula really works, through my own experience of not dying when I was supposed to. As I write these lines, it has been over three years since I was sup­ posed to pass to spirit. I did realize that my strength was slipping away. I had to rest a great deal. It appears that I had a respiratory problem that would have pulled down the curtain on my present journey to the earth plane. By the time you read this chapter, you should have several Astral helpers, including your own personal physician. I have already told you about Dr. Townsley, my personal physician who saved my life. He was our family doctor while he was on the earth plane, and was killed in an automobile accident in California. If you do not have a spirit physician, ask for one. There are plenty available. Most of them are doing research in the Astral world.

I suggest that you develop a strong realization of all the money you can save. Spirit doctors know what they are doing. They use no deadly drugs or ray treatments that have done more harm than good. If your spirit doctor believes that you need help from an earthly doc­ tor, he will tell you so.

How Do Spirit Doctors Work? Spirit doctors do not carry bags or use any mechanical devices. They use no drugs. They write no prescriptions. How do they cure? A good question. Dr. Townsley used the wall socket in our bedroom to provide the energy for a beam of white light. John was too ill to undergo an exploratory operation. After Dr. Townsley visited him, John was up walking around the hospital the next morning. I really do not know' how Dr. Townsley did it. Our own Indian medicine man, White Cloud, uses a bright cream-colored light that enfolds the entire body. Recently, I had severe muscle pains in my stomach. I asked Santo, our beautiful Japanese Astral helper to bring in Dr. Yoko from Japan. I was in bed when he came in. I saw him clearly. He was making clockwise movements with his hands over my stomach. I did not feel his hands, but within a few minutes, the pain started leaving my body. Within thirty minutes, the pain was all gone and I felt greatly relieved. Exactly how he did it I do not know. I have been told by some of my spirit friends that these healers use energized mental-action images. Remember? God said, “ Let there be light,” and there was light. I believe that these spirit doctors see clearly the changes that must be made. They provide the blueprint for a more perfect condition, plus the Astral power to make that change instantly or within a short period of time.

If You Ever Needed To Release the God-Force Within You, It Is Now Let me repeat again that the third part of my magic formula, contemplating oneness with God, is of vita! importance. Stop pray­ ing to a “God in the sky.” God is within you. Mother Bacon told you that this God-force within you is the greatest of all hidden treasures. Your highest goal must always be “ oneness with G od.” There is no God sitting on a throne up in the sky. God is within you and always has been through all of your incarnations. This God-force (Astral power) is your key to health, wealth and happiness.

Another First For the Magic Formula Jackie Susann, who has been helping me write this book, really put the pressure on me to include the true account of Dr. Townsley helping a cat deliver her seven babies. Said Jackie, “ Every veterinarian will want to learn how Astral power can save the lives of or cure the pets that mean so much to their owners. Surely you, doc­ tor, must know that Astral power is available for every form of life.'’ How well do I remember visiting an animal clinic one day where the people with their pets waiting to see the doctor looked like they needed attention more than the dog or cat in their arms. They were deeply worried over the health of their pets, evidently. I have talked to quite a few veterinarians and they all agree that there are many cases where they do not know what to do for the pet. Anyway, I was talking to Anna one day and she happened to mention that her cat was about to deliver again. The thing that wor­ ried Anna was that every time her cat had babies about one half of them were born dead. I have forgotten the cat’s name. I will call her Alice. To make conversation, I told Anna that I would send our spirit doctor over to see what he could do. I know that she thought I was kidding. When I talked to Dr. Townsley about the problem, his answer was, “ So it has come to this—delivering a bunch of kittens.” Dr. Townsley, while on earth, was a general practitioner, so he had delivered many human babies. I called Anna two days later and asked her how the seven new kittens were getting along. She was very surprised and asked me how I knew. I told her that Dr. Townsley had delivered all seven kittens alive. Anna told me that Alice had trouble giving birth and sometimes took two days. Some of the kittens were strangled during the process. Dr. Townsley made it possible for Alice to deliver all of her babies within a short time. Alice has had several litters since and has had no trouble. Her difficulty was permanently overcome through Astral power. I fully intended to leave this account out of the book. Jackie Susann con­ vinced me that veterinarians could learn to use my magic formula and have a high percentage of success in treating the pets entrusted to their care. If a veterinarian sets up a meditating situation for himself, I am sure that he can add a veterinarian from the spirit side of life to his

staff of Astral helpers. In this way, a healing situation for the beloved pets of thousands can be achieved. The doctor does not have to reveal his secret. However, I am certain that his business will grow because of his great success in keeping life and health going within the pets that now mean so much to their owners. Jackie just shined her identifying light on the paper and said, “ D on’t forget to tell your readers that any of them can bring the heal­ ing Astral power to their cat, dog, bird, horse or what have you.” Right you are, Jackie. As I write, I generally have my desk radio tuned to some relax­ ing music. A short news summary just came on. The announcer is telling us that the famous race horse who broke her leg during the re­ cent race between her and Foolish Pleasure is being buried today. She was put to death because they did not want her to suffer any more. How easy it would have been for Astral power to have restored this famous horse to the race tracks. Ruffian, when you come again, we will take better care of you.

Jenefer and John I received a call one night to pray for a man who was near death at a hospital in a distant city. This m an’s name was John. His wife, Jenefer, called me. She finally spilled out the details. None of the doctors knew what was wrong with her husband and his condition was too poor for an exploratory operation. I told her that I would do my best. I asked my spirit doctor, Townsley, to see what he could do for John. The next morning, Jenefer called me again and stated that her husband was up and walking around the hospital, much to the sur­ prise of the doctors. She seemed to be very grateful for my help. I contacted Dr. Townsley and he stated that John had ab­ dominal adhesions and that he would take care of the problem. Since John was feeling so much better he wanted to leave the hospital. This he should have done, but the doctors talked him into having an exploratory operation. W hat do you suppose they found? Adhesions, of course. A few months later I received a call from John. His wife Jenefer was in the hospital. She was suffering from difficult breathing, slow pulse and poor functioning of her entire digestive system. Could I help her? I suggested that she come to see me. Her doctor told John that she did not have time to see anyone.

194

He believed that the potential for a mass cerebral hemorrhage was present. She might sink into unconsciousness any moment. So, 1 alerted Dr. Townsley again and told him the story. He went to work on Jenefer immediately. I gave John the necessary instruc­ tions so that he could help his wife apply my formula. This would be a great help to Dr. Townsley. A few days later jenefer was released from the hospital. Her doc­ tor did not know quite what happened but he was more than willing to take the credit for saving Jenefer’s life. On the advice of her doctor, Jenefer promised to return to the hospital for a complete examination within four to six weeks. In the meantime, Jenefer made full use of my system. Five weeks later her doctor became convinced that she did not even need the gall bladder operation that he had suggested before the sudden illness that brought me into the picture. Now that my book is out, hundreds of similar cases will be cured without my personal intervention. They will have their own Astral helpers to keep them healthy. It goes without saying that with hospital rates the way they are today, this book will save many peo­ ple thousands of dollars. Healing Made a Family Affair The first time that I saw Alice, she was flat on her back in a Jackson, Michigan hospital. An automobile accident created this condition. She was completely paralyzed from the waist down. Doc­ tors, drugs, physical therapy and hospital bills were costing the fami­ ly well over $2,000 per month—an amount that the family could not afford. Alice was 41 years old and the mother of four children. Her hus­ band was a car salesman. What could I do? As usual, I suggested that the whole family get involved. They had heard good things about me; I was their only hope of restoring their mother, wife and wonderful companion to her normal self. The doctor said that she would never walk again. He told me, however, that I was free to help Alice in any way I could. I had a meeting with the husband and children in my office to discuss how best to approach the problem. All of them were very anxious to help, so I taught them to meditate and apply my magic formula. The doctor gave me permission to spend up to two hours a day with Alice. I used my alotted time to teach her my system. Our plan was a simple one. All of the family would meet at the hospital

every evening for a combined meditation and projection of mentalaction images that pictured Alice back home, happy, healthy and walking again. Since there was not enough time to develop a team of Astral helpers, I asked Dr. Townsley to put together a staff of spirit specialists who could repair the nerves in Alice’s back. I was in­ formed that the time would come when earth doctors would be able to repair nerves. The research in the Astral world was completed in this field. However, earth doctors have not yet advanced to the point where they can handle the job of nerve repair. Carefully following my suggestions, Alice’s husband and children meditated every morning, projecting mental-action images of their mother back home, her old happy self. I made it clear to them that they must keep all of their thinking positive. If a negative thought came into their minds, they should replace it immediately with a positive thought. I suggested that they make signs and tack them up around the house-— “ Our mother will be walking soon,” “ Astral power is working miracles for our mother.” A week passed; the doctors saw no change for the better in Alice. The doctors were absolutely certain that Alice would never walk again but would be confined to a wheelchair. On the eighth night, Alice woke up during the night feeling in­ tense heat in her back. It seemed that her whole body was extremely hot. This lasted for a few minutes and then her body cooled down to normal. She knew that she was healed. However, she decided to go to sleep again and get a good night's rest. In the morning, she would surprise her family and all of the doctors by getting out of bed and walking. Alice was enjoying her surprise plan as she worked out every detail until sleep finally overtook her. When her family came into her hospital room in the morning after their meditation period at home, Alice asked them to round up as many doctors as they could find w'ho had been interested in her case. After all were assembled, Alice pushed back the bed covers and gingerly arose from the bed and walked for the first time since the ac­ cident. Naturally, her family was overjoyed but not surprised. They knew it would happen. The doctors just stood there in disbelief and then quickly left the room for a hurried consultation. The doctors did not try to hazzard a guess as to how the healing happened. Alice was released the next day, not a cripple, but in perfect health, to return to her family who loved her so much that they would not let her become a helpless cripple.

Charles Nearly Cashed in His Checks When I first saw Charles, his blood pressure was way over 200. His doctor had warned him that he must lower his blood pressure or die. He was put on a diet to get rid of 50 pounds of fat, too much of which was around his heart. Charles believed in my system but his wife Nettie did not. She in­ sisted that he return to his doctor and forget all of my “foolishness.” Two weeks later, Charles’ car would not start because of a dead battery. He tried to push his car out into the line of traffic so that some kind soul could push his car to get it started. He collapsed with a heart attack, was rushed to the hospital and nearly passed to spirit. After Charles was released from the hospital, he came back to see me. He still had high blood pressure and was still in danger of a severe heart attack which might well finish him off. He told his wife to do what she would do, but that he was going to stay with my program. Today Charles’ blood pressure is 138. His heart is in fine shape. He lost the excess 50 pounds of fat and looks wonderful. I often wonder if those stupid people who are so free with their poor advice ever feel guilty when death takes a dear one or their con­ dition is made worse. I have heard those poor fools say, “ It was God’s will.” This is absolutely false. God wants you to live a happy, healthy, wealthy life. My secret formula makes all this possible. Larry Would Rather Die Than Keep On Suffering Larry was a 13-year-old boy who had suffered from diabetes for several years. His many trips to the emergency ward of the University Medical Center were getting him down. It seems that the standard insulin treatment that keeps so many diabetic patients going did not work for Larry. Larry’s body actually rejected any diabetic treatment that the doctors used. The doctors were at a loss to know why. They concluded that there must be an un­ known factor present. But what was it? Larry decided to use prayer, not to solve his problem, but to free him from all the suffering. He prayed to die. He did not want to live any longer. I did not know Larry or anything about his condition until later. It was during one of my meditation periods that I picked up Larry’s urgent prayer to God to take him away from this earth. I heard him

repeat this prayer at night. I was awakened by the emotional appeal that went with it. I later learned that one of my Astral helpers made me conscious of Larry’s prayer. This was not the first time I have in­ tercepted a prayer. Last winter, my wife and I took a little trip to Petosky, Michigan to get the feel of winter at its best. During my meditation period the first night before going to sleep, I received the urgent prayer of a woman in that area. I have no idea who she was but she surely had wisely taken her problem to God. I picked up her message—through ESP, if you like—or give it any other explanation you care to. Her thought patterns concerned the return of her husband. He had left her and their five children. She had no money and little food in the house. I was deeply moved by the strong emotion that came with her thought patterns. It was a combination of fear, hope and desperation, but complete faith that G od would help her. I prayed that my mind would locate her husband, wherever he might be. My mind finally located him at a bar in Sault Ste. Marie. A girl was giving him a sales pitch on spending the night with her. They left the bar and went to her room. She removed her clothes and gestured him to do the same. I had never experienced anything like this before during my meditations. So I prayed for guidance as to what to say to this man. Could I really influence his mihd? I delivered the strongest thoughts I could, stating that I was G od’s messenger and that his wife and children needed him at home. He looked startled as my thought patterns hit him. He put on his clothes and left the girl’s room, much to her consternation. The following night, during my meditation period, I intercepted this wom an’s prayer to G od again. She was thanking G od for the return of her husband and stated that he seemed to have changed for the better. The emotional climate of her thoughts was one of hap­ piness and relief. She was truly grateful that G od had answered her prayer. But to return to my account of Larry. Where is he? “ Why, he is right here at the University Medical Center. His name is Larry Col­ lins. G o and see him,” an inner voice told me. It must have been Virginia or Phyllis, but no matter. Larry’s prayer was channeled into my mind—so I must help him. Did you ever try to get in to see a very sick patient when you do not even know him or her and are not a relative? I wonder what would happen if I told the desk clerk that G od sent me in answer to Larry’s prayer?

“ Do you know Larry?” the clerk would ask. “N o,” I would reply, “I picked up his prayer by ESP. He needs help.” “ He is a very sick boy. How can you help?” the clerk would say. “Astral power can cure him,” I would reply. “ Follow the red line and turn left to the psychiatrist’s office,” the clerk would tell me. I did finally find Larry’s father, Bert. I told him who I was and that I might be able to help his son, Larry. At this point, his family was willing to try anything. Well, to make a long story short, I finally did get to see Larry. He admitted praying and believed that I had heard his prayers. He learned my system. His family cooperated and within two weeks, Larry left the hospital with his diabetic condition well under control.

Fear of Serious Disease Need Not Exist A simple request during your meditation for a complete physical examination from your Spirit Doctor will result in your knowing in­ stantly whether or not you have any diseased or malfunctioning con­ ditions that need your attention. If your spirit doctor gives you a clean bill of health, fine. If not, set up the necessary mental-action images to correct the condition. It is as simple as that. It is to be hoped that you have developed complete faith in your Astral helpers whatever their specialty may be. The crowded condi­ tion of our hospitals and doctors’ offices indicates clearly that fear and other negative emotions and mental conditions are in control. I was recently talking to a couple who attend church regularly and give lip service to the fact that Christ is the great physician. We were discussing the miracle healing during Kathryn Kuhlm an’s ser­ vice. “ If we could only talk to someone who has been healed, we would believe,” said the husband. “ You are looking at one who has been healed by the Holy Spirit or Astral power,” I answered. I have given you many case histories to prove that you cannot only be healed from all diseases but that you can keep yourself well and free from all doctor bills for as long as you remain in the earth plane.

A Day To Remember I recently had a birthday. 1 knew that my Astral friends would remember this day, but I did not realize what a wonderful job they would do. Of course, you are always blindfolded during your meditation just as I am, to provide a dark screen for our Astral friends to work on. The first beautiful scene that I was aware of was a huge number in beautiful color indicating how young I was. Then appearing as if written by a sky writer were the words Happy Birthday. This was the work of my beautiful Japanese Astral helper, Santo. She then proceeded to put on the screen, in living color, cameos containing the pictures, one by one, of my spirit friends who were present. One after another, these beautiful cameos appeared and drifted across the screen stage. As each cameo appeared, I heard the spirit say “ Happy Birthday.” I could see their lips moving and their facial expressions were lovely. There were about 20 present for my birthday celebra­ tion. I have mentioned the names of most of them before. How do they produce all of these wonderful happenings? Why by mental-action images, of course. If one of the girls wants a new dress, she just thinks about it, sees a picture of the new dress and there it is on her. The next act involved composite thought patterns in beautiful color. Of course, the color rose was very much in evidence for this color means love and deep devotion. These thought patterns express­ ed the combined good wishes of the whole group. It was a most im­ pressive and beautiful sight to see. The meaning became very evident since I was constantly picking up all of their thoughts. Hazel, a former medium, likes to sing. She has a very beautiful voice. She asked my wife, Mildred to play Happy Birthday on the organ. My wife always plays during my meditation periods. She knows the favorite hymns and love songs of all of our spirit friends. As my wife played Happy Birthday , Hazel led the singing. All of their clear, beautiful voices combined to make a marvelously happy, emotional feeling run through my body. Then I saw ail of the auras of the 20 present. The beautiful violets, purples, gold, blue, white and rose colors blended to make a very impressive sight.

This wonderful birthday greeting ended with a blessing from Mother Bacon and bursts of Astral light as N orm a Jean sprinkled gold and silver dots of light all over the screen, just as she is doing this very minute as I write these lines. Jackie Susann is also shining her white Astral light as I write words that meet with her approval. If anyone reading my book does not really believe that this was a marvelous, wonderful, inspiration, emotionally uplifting, glorious, divine, beautiful experience, return my book and I will personally return your money.

16* Astral Power To Heal Is Yours For The Asking Spiritual healing is nothing new. It has been with us in many dif­ ferent forms for tens of thousands of years. Millions have made pilgrimages to sacred places or shrines in search of cures from dis­ ease. Edgar Cayce received thousands of letters from all over the world asking for healing help. He was five years behind in answering his mail at the time of his death. There are hundreds of psychics to­ day who have the power to heal. Such religious leaders as Oral Roberts and Kathryn Kuhlman are famous for their work in the field of healing. Spiritual healing without the use of drugs or surgery does exist and is an established fact. The Whole Universe Functions Through Mental-Action Images You do not need to go to a medium, psychic or religious healer or what have you. You have your Astral helpers to do the job. Kathryn Kuhlman and Oral Roberts do not even know how it is done. You do, for I have told you. You do not depend upon hocus pocus, nonsense syllables, chants or any other crazy stuff that many go through. You do not need to follow the insane doings that many books advocate today. God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. He did not do a special dance or sing a special chant. He just stated what he wanted to happen. Christ did not mutter a lot of non­ sense syllables. He said, “ Pick up your bed and walk.” He raised the dead and healed the sick through mental-action images. Everything that our spirit friends do is by mental-action images. If they want new clothes, mental-action images provide them. If they want to go anywhere, mental-action images get them there in a hurry. If they want to build a house or building, mental-action images do the job. You can do the same. You simply learn how to relax, concentrate and raise your vibra­ tions to cover a greater area of the universe than the majority of peo201

pie think possible. You come face to face with your Astral helpers. They do the job or make your mental-action images reality on a physical plane.

Helen Gets Rid of Her Tumor For Good Helen and Henry came to me to get help for the building of a better relationship in marriage. Henry was a law school graduate, practiced law for a while but did not like it. Helen was the daughter of wealthy parents who had not lived together as husband and wife for many years. Within a short time after I talked to this couple, I discovered that Helen had a uterine tumor about the size of a grapefruit which was getting larger every day. The tum or was made up of dried blood that was not expelled during her monthly periods. In other words, she had sex problems also. She had undergone two operations during the past ten years for the removal of this tumor. Now it was back again and she did not want to go through a third operation. Like the old fashioned country doctor, I accepted a m onth’s sup­ ply of the vitamins that Henry had been selling since he quit the prac­ tice of law. They cost $50 for a m onth’s supply. You not only had to take vitamins when you got up in the morning, with each meal and before you went to bed, but during the day also. As I remember it, there were seven different types of vitamins. I followed the plan for two days and became very sick. Henry told me that this was a good sign, becasue poisons were being driven from my body. I always thought that getting sick was a bad sign. I knew that all this was non­ sense, so I stopped taking the vitamins. I have nothing against vitamins. They serve many useful purposes, but all of this was just too much. However, I taught Helen and Henry my system and helped them develop the right type of mental-action images. Helen’s tumor went away for good without surgery, and Henry went back to practicing law. I get a Christmas card from them every year. They are getting along just fine in their beautiful new home.

My Secret Fromula Catches the “Mouse” in Spencer’s Knee I am sure that all of you are aware of the large number of people who are the victims of arthritis. I had one patient once who took 27 aspirin tablets a day to keep the pain down. Millions of dollars are

Astrai Power is Yours for the Asking

203

needlessly spent by people with arthritis. Even the crippling arthritis is easy to get rid of with my formula. I will tell you of just one of the hundreds of cases that I have had. Spencer had to use a cane to get around. His doctor told him that he had a “ mouse” in his knee. Just two days after I first saw him, the “ mouse” in his knee joint was gone for good. Arthritis is one of the easiest diseases to handle through mentalaction images. In many cases, just learning to relax will do the job.

Walter Solved His Heart Problem Before it Caused Serious Trouble it is amazing to realize that thousands of people let the first symptoms of heart trouble go without doing anything about them. “ Oh! It is just a little pain in my chest— something I ate, no doubt,” they say. I often wonder why a great many people return to the earth plane. It is very evident that they are trying to kill themselves by get­ ting fat, by negative thinking, by the type of food they eat, and by liv­ ing it up and burning the candle at both ends. If they are so anxious to get back to the earth plane, why don’t they do the things that will keep them here for a while? It is easy to understand why so many die of heart failure before the age of sixty. Walter did something about the few pains in his chest. He checked in at a hospital and was told that he might have a heart at­ tack at any time. He then came to me, and learned my system— relaxation-concentration-contemplation. He found out through his Astral helpers why his heart was in its present condition. He cleared his mind of all negative thoughts and potential actions. He changed many of his present living habits. About a week later, he felt what appeared to be an electrical jolt in his chest. A few days later, another complete check-up of his heart revealed it to be in nearly perfect functioning order. The possibility of heart attacks was gone forever.

Astral Power Removes a Cataract Restored hearing and vision are among the minor miracles produced by Astral power and the Astral helpers. Charlotte noticed that she could not see clearly out of one of her eyes. An eye specialist told her that she had a cataract and an opera­ tion would be necessary. It is unfortunate that the great majority of

Santo, my beautiful Japenses Astral helper tells me that if you can raise your vibrations high enough, you can physically see and hear through Astral sight and Astral hearing. But regardless of whether or not you can get your vibrations up to a high level, your Astral helpers will be as valuable and probably more valuable than your seeing eye dog.

There Are No Obstructions in the Astral World We live in an obstructed world. I have already called your atten­ tion to the fact that the Astral world is an unobstructed world. Blindness and deafness add two more barriers to full physical con­ sciousness. Remember my description of the birthday party that my Astral helpers put on for me? I was completely blindfolded. I could have cut off my hearing also. I saw all of the beautiful and meaningful activities of the party, heard the clear astral voices singing “ Happy Birthday,” and was completely conscious of the full meaning of this happening. Every blind and deaf person in the world could have experienced the same wonderful happening. Remember the chapter in which I told you about Astral projec­ tion? All of our handicapped people can go anywhere in the earth plane or in the Astral world by Astral projection. They will not be blind, deaf or crippled. They can see, hear or experience any of the many wonderful sensations and emotions, including love. They can travel with the speed of light.

A Few of the Things That the Blind and Deaf Can Do With Astral Sight and Hearing While in a meditating situation, you can have one of your Astral helpers put a picture of you on the Astral screen so that you really can see yourself. If deaf, your Astral helpers will make it possible for you to hear your own voice. You can look at television. You can enter into conversation and see all of your friends around you. You can hear and see the world as it really is. You can store up images so that when you’re out of a meditating situation, these images will serve you well in your think­ ing and actions. In a meditating situation, you can contact one or more of your Astral helpers and let them teach you many things. They can read to

206

you or, if you are deaf, they can make you familiar with any sounds that you might need for a full understanding of the earth plane. As a blind person, you will no longer need to go around feeling faces and objects. You will know what others look like. You will no longer need to learn sign language. Whether or not you are blind or deaf, you can put your hands to other uses.

Linn and Larry Now Do More Than Just Help Each Other Linn is a very attractive blind girl. Larry is totally deaf. These two fine people grew up in the same neighborhood. Naturally, they became acquainted because of their handicaps. Love came into their lives and they were married. Larry promised to be the eyes for Linn and Linn promised to be the ears for Larry. They would both help each other and develop a wonderful life together. It was a great idea and it worked. They could have gone through life with their hand­ icaps, happy and contented.

Then Came the Magic Formula Can you really imagine the great change that has come over Linn and Larry since they developed Astral sight and hearing? Their life was beautiful before they discovered my magic formula. They were completely happy and well adjusted. It is difficult to realize that their lives could be any better, but they are. The one great lesson to be learned from Linn and Larry is that no matter how healthy, successful, happy or wealthy you may be, my magic formula will bring greater abundance and a more thrilling ex­ istence on all levels of consciousness. The big secret to perfect living is removing all of the barriers that keep you from doing or experienc­ ing anything that your heart desires. If you are sick in bed, it cuts off many of life’s activities, if you have no money, many doors are closed to you, and so it goes. My magic formula opens all of the gates to a glorious life on the earth plane.

The Human Body is Tougher Than You Think Since Americans made 650 million office calls to doctors in one year, too many people must believe that the human body is a frail machine in need of frequent repairs and less reliable than the automobile. This is not the case. Your body is a remarkably efficient and trouble-free machine that makes all of its own repairs, which is more than we can say for most machines.

Astral Power is Yours for the Asking

In nearly 90 percent of all illnesses, the body will take care of the situation without any help from doctors, drugs, or even Astral helpers. It must always be remembered that the body must cure itself. All that doctors do is make you more comfortable while your body fights off the disease. Your Astral helpers can do a better job of mak­ ing you comfortable than a doctor and it costs you nothing. When a serious disease strikes, the doctor is helpless except through surgery, drugs and therapy. It is in this area that Astral heal­ ing is so very important and this costs you nothing also. Why Do People Go To Doctors? Here is a list in order of frequency of why people go to doctors: Leg pains, pregnancy, sore throat, shoulder and arm pains, back pains, cough, abdominal pains, colds, headache, fatigue, chest pains, fever, allergic skin. Do you see any condition on this list that your Astral helper could not handle? Of course, we have to add to this list those who go for regular examinations or an examination required for work or in­ surance. If you go to a doctor who is practicing alone, he is more likely to prescribe drugs. If you go to a clinic, you may be in for costly X-rays and various forms of therapy. This does not always make sense. The majority of highly trained and skilled doctors are spending most of their time treating minor illnesses that would take care of themselves without the attention of a doctor. It is very evident that people need to develop a high regard for the human machine. It is asked to do many things and it does them well. Somewhere along the line, doctors made people believe that they were dependent upon them to keep the human machine going. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Kick the doctor and drug habit. Transfer that great faith that you have in the medical profes­ sion over to the God-given Astral power within you.

17. A Lifetime Of Astral Power Prosperity You have learned your lessons well and are now prepared to become a citizen o f the universe, rather than an unimportant person living in an obstructed physical corner of the earth plane. You can now join hands with persons on all levels of consciousness, You can have many friends and associates that you never thought possible before. You know and understand what Astral power can do for you. Before this book was written, people thought that they had to go to an Astral specialist and a variety of doctors. Even President Lin­ coln and President Roosevelt had their favorite mediums. I have given you the key to living and traveling on all dimensions of con­ sciousness, a key that provides you with wealth, health, a happy family life and successful living without the expenses of doctors, psy­ chics or any other authority. You deal your own winning hand.

A Lack of Prosperity Is No Longer a Virtue To be poor financially or in any other way is no longer a virtue. You have learned how to tear down the sheath within, revealing God. You now see that great abundance in everything is possible and meant to be. You are no longer one of those who refuses to accept all of this as fact. Poverty does not purify the soul and prepare you for life after death. The will of God is for full abundance and prosperity for all of us. I have taught you to think in terms of full—not limited— prosperity.

Astral Power Will Never Fail You Your local power and light company fails you occasionally. Astral power never fails to bring you bountiful prosperity if you keep the lines of communication open to all areas of the Astral world. 208

Please don’t worry about being drowned in a flood of prosperity. It might lift you up to the peak of spiritual consciousness instead. Contemplation is a Vital Part of My Formula Many of your problems that set up barriers to health, happiness and success are easily solved simply by applying the first factor of my magic formula—relaxation. A relaxed body is a healthy body, ready for work or play. A relaxed mind is a healthy mind, ready to steer your life course through all levels of consciousness. Add the second factor—concentration—and you will go farther down the highway of life than the great majority of people. Applying the third factor, contemplation, satisfactorily guarantees that you can do anything I have written about in my book. Contemplation is primarily for quieting the physical senses as completely as possible. You cannot get the most out of meditation if your physical self is clamoring for attention. Contemplation makes it possible for you to find and release the greatest hidden treasure in the whole universe, the God-Within-You. In contemplating oneness with God, you reflect on the goodness and unlimited power of God that is now yours for the asking. You make it clear that it is the deepest wish of your mind to move toward oneness with God, so that this unlimited power can flow within you. You are aware of the fact that God is within you. You have stripped away the sheath that keeps this all-powerful force from permeating your body and mind. You constantly express supreme faith in God and in G od’s willingness for you to have all of the prosperity that your heart desires. You keep reassuring yourself that it is true, for it is true. But you should not end your meditation at this point. After you have stilled your physical body, you now keep absorbing these great spiritual forces until your mind slows down, human thought and bodily sensation fade away and you become fully prepared for all spiritual experiences and real oneness with God. It is a tremendous experience as the light of your inner self comes out to show you the way to supreme prosperity, health and happiness. Your Supreme Goal Must Be To Arrive in the Consciousness of Your Upper Room You are now fully capable of dwelling in the upper room of your consciousness. Remember God said “ Let there be light”? Now you

have the ideal condition to form mental-action images that will become reality and make you truly a citizen of the universe. You do not speak to God, but you listen and listen and listen un­ til you hear your Astral helpers speaking to you. You realize that they are speaking for the God within you, and that God’s power within you (Astral power) will now never be dammed up again. You have released it and it gushes forth like a newly drilled oil well. You realize that G od’s power (Astral power) within you will make a crooked path straight and a rough road smooth, and you now truly sense the presence of God. it is like removing the stopper from a sweet-smelling bottle of perfume. You now fully realize that the Kingdom of God is truly within you, as it is within every living thing. It is at this point that you realize that the spirit of God has been creating your world as you desire it to be. No more anxiety, tension, heartaches or failure. They all seem to melt away. Your diseases have been healed. Your activities move you into the type of prosperity that you desire, but at one time, before you read my book, did not think possible. OoooooMmmmmm, Peace, Peace, Peace OoooooMmmmmm, Hail to the Supreme Inner Self. My Magic Formula Helps You Influence Others I have given you several case studies to prove that you can in­ fluence others to do as you wish them to do. Remember the case of the attorney whose Astral helpers influenced the President of the United States? He is now a federal judge. Or the man who finally convinced the girl he loved to marry him through the influence created by my formula? Or the cases of persons getting the jobs that they wanted? It can be done. Our Neighbors Finally Moved Out I told you about Hazel, our Astral helper, knocking dishes off the neighbor’s table and breaking them. This neighbor was out to make a great athlete out of his son, who is now only three years old. Can you imagine any parents actually naming a child “Champ”? Well, they did. The father played football and basketball with his son for hours at a time. Our apartment is one of the finest in Ann Arbor. However, when a three-year-old starts screaming and his 250-pound, six-footsix father starts running and jumping in his living room with only a wall between, a minor earthquake is the result.

S decided that a “ Cham p” should be created somewhere else. This couple had no intention of moving. They had spent several hundred dollars changing things to suit their tastes. It would be necessary to put the apartment back the way it was if they moved. My Astral helpers and I went to work on them through pro­ jected thought patterns. They not only moved out of this apartment but out of Ann Arbor. They now live in a far less attractive town house. I wonder what their new neighbors think of the “ Champ training program”? My ESP tells me that they do not like it any bet­ ter than we did. But what a relief; we are now enjoying peace and quiet again. influencing Others Through Astral Power Is More Vital To Your Success Than You Realize It is fine for you to set in motion mental-action images concern­ ing the things that you wish to happen to you. But can you always get them to happen by yourself? It is fine to imagine yourself driving down the highway at high speeds to get someplace in a hurry. But what about all the blocks that you find in your way? You did not plan on road repair crews, detours, accidents that tie up traffic, etc. You will get farther in life and reach your objectives quicker if you can activate all of the forces that can be recruited to smooth your way. W hat is the magic of a family name that can get a person elected to office regardless of how little his life justifies public trust? W hat is the magic for a restaurant that has excellent business without half trying? Many business places are an instant success while others, put­ ting the same business principles to work, fail. Why? W hat is the magic of success on the stage or in the movies? Many very fine actors and actresses get nowhere. You can always find someone who will give you an answer to these questions that I have asked. I am certain that I would not agree with their answers, for I have an answer of my own—composite thought patterns. During my development of psychic capability under the direc­ tion of my master teachers, I was greatly impressed with the constant use of patterns as a method of teaching. As you raise your vibrations to higher levels of consciousness, you will notice the increasing use of thought patterns of colored light in place of our methods of com­ munication through talking and writing. It is my studied opinion that you must make use of these psychic patterns. If you are seeking public office you need to appear on the

212

public platform, travel over the territory from which you will get votes, get write-ups in the papers, etc. However, if you really expect to get elected, you need to add magic to your name and your public images. Naturally you will have a few staunch supporters. Your Astral helpers can create composite thought patterns out of the thoughts of your supporters and set them in motion over your political territory. Suddenly, your name will stand out from the others. Your assets will expand sky high and the public will feel that they cannot get along without you. When this happens, you have it made.

Composite Thought Patterns Are the Key to the Magic of Getting Recognition in the World of Business, Politics or the Professions If you lived in a stranger’s home, part of a town or political unit for a few hours or days, without anyone talking to you, you would find yourself thinking as the people around you. These composite thought patterns that represent the ideology of the persons involved are the reason. Composite thought patterns are very powerful Astral forces that you should learn to recognize, control or set into motion for your own advancement. They can make you or literally destroy you. You have heard the expression “ When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” How can you do otherwise without fighting off the in­ fluence of Astral thought patterns? There are many common expressions that point to these invisi­ ble forces. “ How can anyone fall for that line” “They must be kid­ ding to think that anyone would believe that.” “Who does he think he is anyway, God?”

Dr. Cleary Sends Out Composite Thought Patterns To Rebuild a Burned-Out School Dr. Cleary was a superintendent of a rural consolidated school system. Before he knew of my system, he worked hard to get the peo­ ple in his district to build a new school. He finally succeeded in get­ ting them to okay a new building, but it was not fireproof. Also, it really did not meet the needs of the community—but it was the best he could do. The new building was practically completed when one night it caught fire and burned to the ground. The total investment was lost. However, Dr. Cleary had heard of me and learned to use my magic formula.

213

The dramatic part of this true story relates to what happened while the building was burning. Dr. Cleary rounded up all of the members of the school board and, by the light of the burning building, held what to them was a prayer meeting. To Dr. Cleary it was a meditating situation. They were praying; he was applying my magic formula. The mental-action images that he formed in his mind related to a much more complete and satisfactory building, fireproof, with plenty of money to operate it. He raised his vibrations to the point where he was not conscious of the burning building or the crowd that had gathered to watch. His Astral helpers also went to work forming composite thought patterns that were set adrift. Many newspapers, radio and television stations carried the story, it was a dramatic one-—a new, almost completed school building burning to the ground. By noon the next day, several very wealthy men throughout the United States had offered to help rebuild the school. So much money poured in that a fireproof building with plenty of endowments to help operate it was available. Dr. Cleary’s salary was doubled. I know what some of you are thinking. Did the Astral helpers get a head start and “ accidently” burn the new building down? Could be—they could do it without any trouble—but let’s just look at the final results. Are the positive, creative, wealth- and health-giving forces within your mind being “ burned down” by frustration, fear, hostility , resentment and acrimonious forces? If so, it is time that you made your mind “ fireproof.”

There Are Many Astral Roads To Prosperity Nothing new, creative or original ever comes from the physical world. All of the advances that have been made in the fields of art, music, medicine, science or even religion have come directly as gifts from the Astral world. A cancer cure is waiting for some bright doctor to introduce to the medical profession, in the mean time, your Astral helper, just as mine did, can make use of this cure. Many other medical innovations are available. In the field of engineering, thousands of new ideas are yours if you can prove that you can handle them. Your Astral Helpers will help you find the new idea that is right for you. Jenefer, who was cured of cancer, is now painting Astral thought patterns. She recently had an exhibit of her oil paintings at the

University of Michigan Commons. A whole page in the daily paper reviewed her work with high praise. This was especially gratifying to me, for i have wanted someone to put those beautiful Astral colors on canvas for the public to see, appreciate and enjoy. I am sure that many of you have read about Rosemary Brown, a London widow with two children who has been writing music which is being dictated to her by Liszt, Chopin, Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, Grieg, Schumann, Debussey and Rachmaninoff. Mrs. Brown has received over 400 compositions. Authorities in the field of music say that each work “ bears the flavor and style of the com­ poser.” Each is an absolutely original composition. When the composers appear, they are all in the prime of life, as I have already told you, about 30 years of age. Of course, Beethoven is no longer deaf, Chopin is no longer suffering from tuberculosis, Shubert does not need glasses any longer and Liszt’s hair is blond again. Two Beethoven symphonies, one with massive choral work, are awaiting Mrs. Brown’s attention at this time. If you are interested in music, wouldn’t you love to have the opportunity that Mrs. Brown has? Whether you are just an ordinary employee whose only chance of getting recognition for a new idea is through the suggestion box, or the president of a billion-dollar corporation, new and better business ideas are available to you if you apply my formula. Research is big business now, yet the majority of those employed in research centers are so oriented to the physical that they would not recognize a new idea if it knocked them down. People in the field of scientific research, music, art, writing or religion need to become citizens of the universe. They cannot do their jobs well without hav­ ing contact with the Astral world. I don’t care who you are, where you have been or where you think you are going—-you need Astral power. So come and get it: there are many Astral roads to prosperity. One Final Word The courage, resourcefulness and initiative necessary to progress toward higher levels of personal living can be yours through Astral power, and by accepting the help of your Astral helpers. I have given you, in this book, a technique which, when properly utilized, will command an increasingly high standard of that state of

mind and body which makes not only for good health but wealth, prosperity and success in every way through Astral power. I have traveled the Astral roads through time and space and found the source of my magic formula 3,000 years ago in Tibet, where I was a Brahman priest. My Astral helpers have contributed greatly to the writing of this book. Even my seventh level helpers agree that what you have read is true. They should know. OM OoooooM mm m mm With our ears, may we hear what is good. With our eyes, may we behold thy righteousness. Tranquil in body, may we who worship thee find rest. O oooooM mm m mm Peace, Peace, Peace OoooooM mm m mm Hail to the Supreme Inner Self.

God Bless.
