Law Of Attraction

3 of 35

Humility is a forerunner of success! Until we become humble in our own hearts we are not apt to profit greatly by the experiences and thoughts of others. Sounds like a preachment on morality?

Well, what if it does?

Even "preachments," as dry and lacking in interest as they generally are, may be beneficial if they serve to reflect the shadow of our real selves so we may get an approximate idea of our smallness and superficiality.

Success in life is largely predicated upon our knowing men!

The best place to study the man-animal is in your own mind, by taking as accurate an inventory as possible of YOURSELF. When you know yourself thoroughly (if you ever do) you will also know much about others. To know others, not as they seem to be, but as they really are, study them through:

1 - The posture of the body, and the way they walk.

2 - The tone of the voice, its quality, pitch, volume.

3 - The eyes, whether shifty or direct.

4 - The use of words, their trend, nature and quality. Through these open windows you may literally "walk right into a man's soul" and take a look at the REAL MAN!

Going a step further, if you would know men study them:

When angry.
When in love.
When money is involved.
When eating (alone, and unobserved, as they believe).
When writing.
When in trouble.
When joyful and triumphant.
When downcast and defeated.
When facing catastrophe of a hazardous nature.
When trying to make a "good impression" on others.
When informed of another's misfortune.
When informed of another's good fortune.
When losing in any sort of a game of sport.
When winning at sport.
When alone, in a meditative mood.

Before you can know any man, as he really is, you must observe him in all the foregoing moods, and perhaps more, which is practically the equivalent of saying that you have no right to judge others at sight.

NO person is "Educated" who has not at least a "Speaking Acquaintance" with the Law of Compensation, as it is described by Emerson. Appearances count, there can be no doubt of that, but appearances are often deceiving. This course has been so designed that the student who masters it may take inventory of himself and of others by other than "snap-judgment" methods.

The student who masters this philosophy will be able to look through the outer crust of personal adornment, clothes, so-called culture and the like, and down deep into the heart of all about him.
