exposed. And thus this wonderful power is resolved into the mere sensitive ability to come en
rapport with this vast ocean of inner light, which may quite easily be done, as well herein by briefly
shown. All that is required is simply patience.
Clairvoyance is the art and power of knowing or cognizing facts, things and principles, by methods
totally distinct from those usually pursued in their attainment. I claim to have reduced it to a
system and to have evolved science from hetero-geneity; to have added new thought, new
conception, opened new fields of investigation, and to have discovered the central magnetic law,
underlying and subtending the evolutions of somnambulic phenomena - a brief resume of which I
herewith present.
We are approaching the termination of the first stage of civilization, are bidding farewell to many
of its modes, moods, opinions, sentiments, thoughts and procedures, and are entering upon a new
epoch of human history and might, destined to develop powers in man,(2) now latent mainly but
which will yet revolutionize the globe. On earth man is greatest, mind and greatest part of man and
clairvoyance the greatest part of mind....Clairvoyance depends upon a peculiar condition of the
nerves and brain. It is compatible with the most robust health, albeit oftenest resulting from
disordered nerves. The discovery consists in the knowledge of the exact method , how, the precise
spot where and the proper times when, to apply the specific mesmeric current to any given person,
in order to produce the coma and lucidity. A careful following of the rules herein laid down is
generally sufficient to enable the aspirant to attain his or her end.

(2) The second age of man, generally termed the Christian, has passed the limbo of time, and the
third age, the Manistic, or age of Man, has set in. During this age man's concept of his powers,
duties, morality and spirituality will change completely. Man will gradually come to accept his own
personal responsibility for all his activities, whether of thoughts or acts. With this will come about a
change as regards his powers and potencies and he will indeed become as one of the gods. As he
resumes the responsibilities to true, virle manhood so will flow to him the rewards accruing to the
strong, the brave and the free. This will mean for him first, manhood, ending in godhood and the
Immortalization of his being. In the past age this has been the exception; in the present age it will
become general.
(3) Experiments conducted by us have shown that when the thyroid gland is below normal in its
activity, it directly affects the brain and resultant mental activity. Furthermore, that spiritual
elevation of any department of man's nature is extremely difficult under these conditions. This
would also indicate that for man to be normal and non-criminal in his tendencies, it is essential that
his endocrine system be functioning properly. Our conclusions would be that to reform the world of
man, we must endeavor to have all his glands in a healthy state; then he will feel himself too much a
man to do other than right and justly. Let reformers give heed to this thought and let us, first of all,
establish institutions where professional reformers are examined and treated for glandular overactivity
or inactivity.
At the start let it be distinctly understood that fear, doubt, nervous agitation, coarse habits, or bad
