Failure & Inharmony
The author, who has devoted many years of his life to scientific research and unfoldment of the higher or intuitive faculties (a large portion of which time has relatively been passed as a recluse), has had but one general object in view, viz., to be of the greatest possible service to the world in which he lives.
There are two general causes for failure and inharmony.
First, parents often educate their children in a calling for which they have no adaptability, and many times leave them a fortune with which to carry on that calling, and, as they have no adaptation to it, they soon lose their money, and after frequent efforts to rise again, they get discouraged and become vagabonds on the earth.
The second cause of inharmony is misunderstanding of each other’s motives.
Parents should obviate these two great evils, also many others. They should know what care their children should have whilst young, and what their strong and weak points are, both vitally and mentally, thereby saving the lives of thousands of little ones who would otherwise go prematurely into eternity.
The physicians who have made the greatest attainments have been those whose intuitive judgement in matters of character, constitution, and vital conditions has been most accurate; and the author has frequently been surprised, on giving delineations and advice to persons who have been under the care of physicians of great prominence, to hear them say, “That is the same advice that such and such a physician gave me,” thus confirming the fact that this science is in harmony with the best judgement of the most skilled and intuitive natures.
We often hear people remark, “I conceived an idea of such and such a thing,” without any apprehension of the great natural truth that thoughts are generated, conceived, and born into existence by the action of the intellectual faculties, as literally as are children, and that the same essences of our life are used for the one that are required for the other; so that it is not merely a fable that God instructed Moses to say to Pharaoh, “Let my son go,” and that natural mind does now, and always has, claimed sonship of God. We have all, from childhood, been familiar with the saying, “We are God’s children.” Paul affirmed this in its broadest sense when he said, “By the Logos (the Word, or effectual utterances) the worlds were made.”
We only refer to this, and will not attempt to explain further here. We will leave each person to study and judge of it according to his interest in this line of thought.
