20.  Above all, you are again urged to banish from the inner self fear, worry, discouragement, depression, and every such enemy to peace and power.  There is in your mind an upper level; live in that.  When worry and the like appear, you will find them occupying the lower level and absorbing your attention.  You should instantly force consciousness to the higher ground, expelling these enemies and holding up to the better mood.  This is the one secret of victory over the king’s foes.  The author guarantees the remedy in any case that is not fit for the hospital.

21.  In the conduct of life, the magnetic person sets before the mind a definite goal, either life-long or particular, and adheres thereto with bulldog pertinacity.

22.  And he, therefore, wastes no values, but economizes all.

23.  He saves part of his earnings; he carries his money in his pocket-book, not loosely.

24.  But he has the wisdom to recreate, to rest the body, to ease the mind, to take needed breathing-spells for magnetic increase.

II.  DEALING WITH OTHERS: 

Let us finally understand.  In applied magnetism, you simply harmonize the etheric states of others with those of yourself, and convey to them through the ethereal medium the purpose of your will.  The first condition of success here is agreeableness, the second consists in tact and perseverance, the third is will-power —­not brutal will-force, but magnetic power of will.

In all application of magnetism to persons, you are urged to remember that your very first goal, always and preeminently, is an agreeable feeling within their minds.  You should never try to induce a person to act your way until you have thoroughly established in him a good feeling toward yourself.  This is the prime initial step.  When such a condition has been secured, you are then ready for the magnetic assault—­and then only.

When you are dealing with other people, endeavoring magnetically to win them to your wish, you should summon the general magnetic feeling within yourself, will them to do as you desire, and at the same time think of them as already consenting and acting.  Your inner condition should be perfectly calm, buoyant, hopeful, whatever the external means employed, your mind should be concentrated upon the thing desired, and its accomplishment should be thought of as now secured.  The response of the person may be delayed, but this should not discourage you, for some minds do not take suggestions (those of your unspoken will are referred to) quickly, and they do not act instantly upon their own thought.  It is invariably best to induce people to believe that they are acting on their personal impulse or judgment; they should be made to feel perfectly free, not at all coerced, and that they are doing their own will rather than yours—­simply because they wish so to do.
