This textbook was
written for the explicit purpose of making human beings aware of the
powers that they carry within them; powers that remain unused. Most people
are not even aware of their existence. We are not weak creatures. We carry
a might or power within which makes us independent from matter. This might
actually elevate us to the Crown of Creation, once we know how to make use
of it. This book will teach the reader how to accomplish this feat.
This book
has nothing in common with those books which are offered to the public
with extensive and expensive advertising campaigns, as for example, The
Power Within Oneself, Personal Magnetism or The Power Of Hypnosis.
This book will guide the reader away from the path of becoming a brutal,
egotistical super-human being, but instead, guide him to become an
ethical, forward-striving, idealistic human being who uses his powers
strictly for the welfare of his fellowman. Human beings are free, but we
must learn how to activate our will, whereas hypnosis incarcerates our
will. We are here on this earth to strive for and to attain everlasting
assets for the spiritual plane, not to strive for and attain temporal
assets. However, the inner human being does not benefit at all from the
achievements of hypnosis, and we should be mainly concerned with the inner
human being, because he is the one who continues to exist.
The author
is not an adept. But for many years he has been under the tutelage of a
wise and esteemed guide, through whose influence this book came into
existence. Therefore, the authors personal experiences do not reach the
high level described in the third part of this book, but with a few
exceptions he has tried and tested all the abilities which are taught in
the second part.
This book
contains a course of instructions that connects two great yogic systems,
one of which touches the physiological part of a human being, while the
other focuses on the psychic development. The harmonious union of these
two systems permits a person to overcome difficulties much more easily,
and it also leads to a more rapid ascent. There is nothing more dangerous
than the development of the human will when it does not go hand in hand
with an ethical progress. Under normal circumstances, we would select a
reasonable person to handle dangerous weapons, because an unreasonable
person would only cause death and disaster to his surroundings with them,
and eventually he would also harm himself. And that is the evil
characteristic of black magic. It can be compared to a furious monster
that eventually annihilates itself. A villain who develops his astral
powers for the purpose of gratifying his dubious urges and to harm others
will one day burn in the fire which he himself has ignited.
In
conclusion, I should like to draw the readers attention to the fact that
my textbook is the only one which will not leave the student standing
before the gates of the temple, incomplete and dissatisfied. Rather, it
will lead him farther to the heights, to that which is actually attainable
for a human being.
