vi P RE FAC E
Itwill be understood that th e successful conduct
of all psychic operati ons d ep ends on th e t emp or ary
predominance of th e intuitional faculties in th e S eer ,
and th e err ors and un c ert ainti es which c ommonly
charact eriz e th e results are r eferable to th e disabilities ,
limitations and untrained condition of thes e faculties

in th e gr eat maj ority of men Th e stud ent sh ould
.
not be di s cour aged by several initial failures intui

tive p erception exists in all minds and practice will,
ultimately develop it as it is otherwise a natural

faculty wh en once it h as free play it will p erform its
, ,
op erati ons with th e accur a cy tha t ch ar ac teriz es all th e
intell ectual powers .
A word must be added on th e abus e of divinatory

metho ds It h as not b een unusual in th e past to
.
l
.
invest them with an 1nh erent virtu e of th eir own ;

this is an ignorant sup erstition Whatever th e pro
.
cess what ever th e instruments th ey are simply aids

, ,
to elicit cl airvoyanc e and to c ast th e S eer for th e

,
time being int o a subj ective or interior condition .
It sh ould be als o r em emb er ed th at any att empt to
