means <strong>of</strong> this royal road, <strong>the</strong> true seer or seeress is enabled <strong>to</strong> read <strong>the</strong> varied scrolls <strong>of</strong> human life;<br />
frequently <strong>to</strong> explain <strong>the</strong> real significance <strong>of</strong> dreams and visions; examine and prescribe for those<br />
who are sick or ailing in body, <strong>Soul</strong>, mind, heart, affections, hope, ambition, love, aspiration,<br />
speculation, losses, gains, fears and troubles <strong>of</strong> every character, healing bodies, minds, <strong>Soul</strong>s;<br />
scanning by real positive mental vision, not merely <strong>the</strong> secrets <strong>of</strong> a man's or woman's lives and<br />
loves, and keeping <strong>the</strong>m as wisdom seeds, <strong>to</strong> grow in<strong>to</strong> good fruitage presently - but also reaching<br />
<strong>the</strong> perfect comprehension <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sublime fact that organization determines destinies - which <strong>of</strong><br />
course begets charity <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> neighbor and love <strong>to</strong> all mankind; hence it is possible <strong>to</strong> foretell events<br />
that must inevitably come <strong>to</strong> pass, ei<strong>the</strong>r in <strong>the</strong> general or special plane <strong>of</strong> an individual's life and<br />
experience. There are ever two roads and three choices before every intelligent human being, and<br />
clairvoyance alone is competent <strong>to</strong> decide which is best, for only this magnificent science and power<br />
can enable us <strong>to</strong> reach <strong>the</strong> penetralium. As a Rosicrucian, I know that men ever fail and die mainly<br />
through feebleness <strong>of</strong> WILL. Clairvoyance will teach <strong>the</strong> adept how <strong>to</strong> streng<strong>the</strong>n it. The WILL is<br />
one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> prime human powers, and it alone has enabled Man <strong>to</strong> achieve <strong>the</strong> splendid triumphs<br />
that mark all <strong>the</strong> ages. If it sleep, or be weak, fitful, or lethargic, <strong>the</strong> man amounts <strong>to</strong> a mere cipher.<br />
If it be strong and normal, <strong>the</strong>re is no obstacle can successfully impede its sway. We know that <strong>the</strong><br />
sick are healed by its strength; that homes are made happy by its power; that love itself comes <strong>to</strong><br />
man through its divine agency; that woman can realize her hopes, in many directions, through its<br />
resistless force; that GOD is WILL, and whoso hath it fullest and finest, most resembleth him!<br />
Steady WILLING will bring lucidity <strong>of</strong> vision and <strong>of</strong> <strong>Soul</strong>! By it, also those who love or would love,<br />
may find. Especially is this true <strong>of</strong> that large class who seek <strong>the</strong> occult, and strongly desire <strong>to</strong> reach<br />
<strong>the</strong> cryptic light beneath <strong>the</strong> floors <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> waking world - I mean <strong>the</strong> sons and daughters <strong>of</strong> Sorrow,<br />
Anguish and <strong>the</strong> Light; <strong>the</strong> loving, unloved ones <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> earth; <strong>the</strong> lovely pilgrims over desert sands;<br />
<strong>the</strong> heart-reft mariners now sailing and surging over <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>rmy waters <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bitter seal <strong>of</strong><br />
Circumstance - for <strong>the</strong>se are <strong>the</strong> God-sent, and <strong>the</strong>y travel ever <strong>the</strong> roughest paths. To all such,<br />
WILL and especially Clairvoyance, is a boon, a true friend, saying, "Come un<strong>to</strong> me, all ye that are<br />
weary and heavy-laden , and I will point <strong>the</strong> road <strong>to</strong> rest!" - clairvoyance I mean - not au<strong>to</strong>macy in<br />
any shape.<br />
What a man or woman eats, drinks, is clo<strong>the</strong>d with, inhales, or is surrounded by, has a direct effect<br />
upon <strong>the</strong> entire being. What shall be partaken <strong>of</strong> or avoided, in order <strong>to</strong> purify <strong>the</strong> person, and<br />
create <strong>the</strong> best possible personal conditions? What chemist can answer that question? Who among<br />
<strong>the</strong>m all can tell <strong>the</strong> precise magnetic, electric, or dynamic state <strong>of</strong> a man at any given moment <strong>of</strong><br />
his life? Not one. But <strong>the</strong> clear seer can do all that and more! What shall be taken or avoided in<br />
order <strong>to</strong> streng<strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> WILL? The love nature? The flagging appetites and natural passions? The<br />
entire nature? principle? courage? fortitude? faith? persistence? Mental lucidity alone can reply.<br />
Nothing is more certain than that in certain things you have undertaken, disastrous failure has<br />
been <strong>the</strong> result. And why? You cannot tell, but lucidity will enable you <strong>to</strong> find out and render you<br />
master or mistress <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> situation. There are THREE THINGS only that we strive for in this life,<br />
as times go, and <strong>the</strong>se are Love, Money and Position (Power), but we <strong>of</strong>ten fail in reaching all or<br />
ei<strong>the</strong>r, only because we are ignorant <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> true road <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>m, as determined by our respective<br />
organizations. What but seership can remedy all this?
