The student will be interested in reading and hearing the various theories and explanations given by different writers and teachers to account for the phenomena of psychic influence.  Once he has grasped the real scientific principles involved, he will be able to see the same in operation in all of the cases cited by the different teachers and writers, and will find that this fundamental principle fully explains and accounts for all of these cases, no matter how puzzling they may seem, or how mysterious they may be claimed to be by those mentioning them.  Truth is very simple when we brush away the fantastic dressings which have been placed around it by those who have lacked knowledge of the true fundamental principles.

We see this same law or principle operating in very many different ways from those previously mentioned.  For instance, we frequently find cases in which one person has a strong desire for a certain kind of assistance in his business or other work.  He has almost given up hope of finding the right kind of person, for those whom he has tried have failed to measure up the requirements of the situation.  If he will (and he sometimes does) follow the general plan just mentioned, he will set into operation the psychic forces which will attract that person to him, and him to that person.  In some peculiar way, the two will be thrown together, and the combination will work out to the best advantage of both.  In these cases, each person is seeking the other, and the psychic forces of attraction, once set into operation, serve to bring them together.

In like manner, one often draws to himself certain knowledge and information that he requires or is desirous of gaining.  But, and you must always remember this, no miracle is worked, for it is simply a matter of the working out of natural laws of cause and effect—­attraction and response to attraction—­on the psychic or astral plane.  Such a person will accidently (!) run across some other person who will be led to give him the key to the knowledge he seeks.  Perhaps a book may be mentioned, or some reference to some writer be made.  If the hint is followed up, the desired information comes to light.  Many persons have had the psychic experience of being led to some book store and induced to examine a particular shelf of books, whereupon a particular book presents itself which changes the whole course of the person’s life.  Or, perhaps, one will pick up a newspaper apparently at random, and without purpose; and therein will find some information, or at least a hint in the direction where the information may be found.  When one accustoms himself to the workings of psychic forces, these things soon become accepted as a matter of course, and cease to arouse wonder or surprise.  The workings of the Psychic Law of Attraction is seen to be as natural and invariable as the law of gravitation, or magnetic attraction, once one has mastered its principles, and learned the methods of its application.  Surely such a wonderful law is well worth study, attention, investigation, and mastery, isn’t it?
