K f'ew people grasp, as true, the statement that every k c t attributed to men is not by men but by the Infinite "Wisdom. It is only necessary, however, to persist in looking at each act until God is revealed therein. This can always be done by patience and an inquiring mind. Here are illustrations that will make this clear and en able others to do likewise.B pT H E A c f —Entering a public audience, I noticed a yacant s e a t beside a woman, and moved towards it with th e i d e a p f occupying ilii The woman looked up, saw m e approaching, and deliberately moved into the va c a n t seat w i t h t h e apparent purpose of keeping me from s i t t i n g there a n d perhaps crowding her.?

may arise in mortal mind and sometimes show itself at such a rude act as. I have described. Many people will try to force such people into decent behavior. Some will watch the opportunity to reprove these seemingly self ish people, who are nearly always women, please ob serve.

T h e D iv in e o e I t . — I had no mqrtal mind at that moment and quite ignored the seeming- impoliteness. I said to myself : “God has moved that woman for my benefit and I will know w hy.” So I remained close by for five minutes and watched for the reason to appear. The exercises upon the stage went on. Soon a ten- year-old boy, sitting- to the left of the seat in questipn, beg-an to whisper to his mother at his left. H is whis pers grew into low talk and then a smaller'girl on the other side of the mother joined in the whispering. The mother once or twice told the boy to be quiet,, but he paid no attention thereto. Several people in the vi cinity began to look at the mother and two children, in surprise that none of them knew how jfco behave inm.: public audience. The woman, who had moved sparer to the boy so as to prevent my coming in between, be gan to discover that she had made an uncomfortable job of it. It thus became clearly revealed! to me that God moved the selfish woman in order to tell me as plainly as possible that if I had taken that seat I should have regretted it. The case was all the .stronger be cause I could not have got out again without consider able trouble, owing to the difficulty of approach and retreat. I should probably have.had* to grin and bear the disturbances throughout the rest of the entertain ment.

the evening’ very much. All this is the result and al ways will be the result of seeing Omnipotence every where.

I n t u i t i o n .—The fact that women are more intui tional than men is well recognized. That woman was intuitional enough to feel and to heed God’s prompting to move. A man in the same circumstances would never have done it,—“ hardly ever.” His mortal mind would have teemed with self respect and that would have de terred him from such a spectacle. To a woman’s abil ity to hear God’s voice telling her to move and so shut me out was due my escape from the disturbances made by the children.

A Sin g u l a r Ca s e .—One evening, a group of people, among the number the daughter of a retired Justice of . the Supreme Court and myself, came out of a church service and we boarded the Connecticut avenue car. I made myself the last of the group to enter the car. I saw twelve people seated on one side and eleven on the Opposite side. A twelfth seat was beside this daugh ter of Judge S. I moved towards it. She spread her self jinfo the vacancy, a polite hint to me to stand. So I took position by the door and stood. At the very next

s tree t, the car stopped. A negress, clad almost filthi ly, weighing about 250 pounds, and carrying a market basket, boarded the car, she walked right up to Miss S. and forced her great,' fat, greasy, ill-smelling carcass into the spot where Miss S—g was unwilling a neatly clad gentleman, ju st out of the same church she had attended* should sit. I t was a terrible dose for Miss S~g to take, but she rode in torture all the way down the avenue ; and I,--well I did not laugh boisterously., but I have smiled within from that day to this, I have told the story on Miss S—g and given her name quite a number of times, and guess I will mail her a copy of this magazine. She helped me to find Truth.

Whenever anyone goes to exhibiting “selfishness ” or any other “evil” in my presence, I know there is fun for me and so I WILL PERSIST in watching the situa tion till God has told me all about what he is doing. And he always tells me a splendid story. These illus trations will show to any reflecting person, how to con vert insult, lies, robbery and all other “evils” into the most beautiful events.T a l k .—When you hear uncivil or unbecoming talk,

consider God and not an individual as speaking ; and furthermore, God may say some very severe things of an individual whose lips are in motion. The individu al, in his insanity, imagines himself as speaking. If a listener harbors a similar delusion, he may consider said language as addressed to him. Then he may be offended. Usually, it is God speaking to him whose lips are in motion, and one can have much fun observing such occurences. Some days ago, as a street preacher finished preaching, I said to him : “May I ask you if you ever feel a sense of sin since you have been saved.He evaded and so I asked him again. He evaded again. When a third time, I pressed for a reply, he appeared offended and his lips spoke these words : “I knew you were a quibbler from the time you first opened your mouth.” God thus spake to him the precise truth re garding himself. As for myself, I saw instantly that such a label could not fit me, and had not been spoken to me, though the saved street preacher fooled himself -with the idea that he was talking, not God, and was talking to me. Whoever remembers this law can see fun everywhere. God tells him things that are “hid den from the world.” Men’s lips describe to you their character without their suspecting how. Even strang ers reveal hidden secrets in this manner. Do not for get for an instant that God, not the creature, is talking and let intuition be the silent interpreter.

A W ell-A u th en tica ted A stra l Appearance.

For many years prior to the night of November 7th, 1877, there had resided on a farm in Denton, Texas, a widow, M rs. L aura Jones, her two nearly-grown sons named Frank and John, and several smaller children. Frank had left home in September to search for some lost cattle, had reported his movements from time to time by letter, a t last accounts being 200 miles south of Denton still engaged in the search. On that night, after all were in bed, John heard steps, on the front porch, which approached the door. Then the door knob was turned, the door opened letting in a draft of cold air which John felt so th a t he raised himself upon his elbow. A fire th a t had been burning in the wide stone chimney had not yet gone out and, in the quite dim light, John saw the outlines of a man. Reaching for a re volver, he called : “ W ho’s th ere?” The familiar voice of his brother answered, while F rank came and sat down on the foot of John’s bed. They conversed in low tones for some time. Then John told Frank that his bed in another room was ready for him, being just as he had le ft it six weeks before. The dim outlines and retreating footsteps vanished through the opposite doorway and all w as still. John soon fell asleep happy over his brother’s return. In the morning he arose, started the kitchen fire for his mother, and went to the barn to care for his brother’s horse and the other ani mals. T he horse w as not in his accustomed stall, nor in the pasture outside. He returned to the house, when his mother who had heard the voices asked : “ What were you talk ing about last night ?” “ Why, I was talking w ith Frank, who came in last n ight,” replied the son. An examination of Frank’s room, however, showed no one and no signs of occupancy. He return ed to the kitchen and told his mother a part of what Frank had said to him in the night. She, of course,

was very sceptical about the story,' but John’s earnest ness led her to feel that something* was wrong*. That day they hitched up a team and taking* the children, drove to the house of “ Uncle Bob Saunders,” and, of course, the strang*e occurrences were related to him. He discredited the whole affair but concluded to accom pany John to the telegraph office to see what trace could be g*ot of the missing brother. While crossing the pub lic square of Denton, they were hailed by the Sheriff of Denton County, who showed a telegram that he had just received from S. P. Williams, County Judge, dated McDade, Texas, November 8, 1877, and reading : “Man found dead near here last night. Papers disclosed identity of Prank Jones of your county. Notify his p eo p le |||||

A year later, this Bob Saunders, who was adminis trator of the estate left by-the father of the Jones fami ly, decided to sell a tract of Jones’ land in the southern part of the state. John strenously objected, at first refusing to say why, but finally, being ptherwise una ble to carry his point, he said that on the night of No vember 7th, when Prank appeared to him, Prank told him that he had found the lost animals near the town of Stellar,in a pasture owned by Mrs. Mary Williams, a widow who had a large cattle ranch there ; that she had told Prank of her desire to purchase the Jones tract of land near by ; that he, Prank, knowing the danger from Indians and horse-thieves to stock on that land had decided to sell, had sold it to her as well as the stock which Prank had found there, that she had pai,d him the entire amount of purchase money, that he had promised her to send the necessary deed and other papers upon his return home and that Prank had urged shim (John) to make and forward the papers.

John now acknowledged that he had not sooner re ported this part of the nightly interview, because so

OCCULT TRUTHS. 7

much incredulity and even ridicule had met his other statem ent. B u t now, rather than see the administra tor go and sell the land in question, he had told all.

Accordingly, a le tte r was sent to Mrs. Williams ask ing .what she knew about Prank Jones’ movements. She came to Denton in person (as she had never received any deed) and exhibited to Administrator Saunders a bill of sale for the stock in the handwriting of Prank and also a receipt for the money paid to him. Her story agreed in every respect w ith the report John had given of, the fac ts as described by his visitor on the night of November 7. John Jones later went before the county court of Denton county and made affidavit, which is a m atter of public record, th a t his brother Prank had de tailed to him th is trade w ith the widow Williams and th a t the A dm inistra tor of his father’s estate was bound to give her a deed to th is property. Had John conceal ed the fac ts and le t Saunders sell the land, John as one

the heirs would have profited a considerable sum of money thereby. He proved the certainty of his confer ence'had w ith P ran k , a t a time when P rank’s dead body lay 200 miles away, by a legal oath and caused ,the issue of the deed in question to the widow Williams. If the disbelievers in a s tra l forms and in astral bodies separable from physical bodies refuse to credit this ac count, w h a t would they ever credit of other people’s experiences ?

they are sick of running1 here and there to try every de vice or nostrum invented. When the person in trouble g*ets ready to follow our advice to the exclusion of all others we begin to enforce concentration on one idea : Healing* and uplifting1 power is right in%your own house. There is no god in all the universe for you to concern yourself about, except what exists right inside your own soul. From no other source did ever any good come to you or ever will. So soon as one discovers what a fountain of truth, of health and of joy goes everywhere his body goes and stays wherever this body stays, so soon will his whole mental attitude chang'e. Follow ing this, the whole bodily condition will change also. Meanwhile, he is blind and deaf to the living powers within him. His conceit blinds him. He thinks he knows what is in him, when truly he does not. There is a veil between his soul and his brain. He lives in brain action or mortal mind, which is soul-less.

You have already been in the only hell there is (mor tal mind and delusions), and heaven is a condition—not a place. Pessimistic thoughts bring hell. To see all as good is heaven. Make whichever you prefer. Fvery time one complains of anything, he has planted hell seed, and it can sprout in about thirty minutes. Do it all you like. No one can prevent it. Since there is an interval of thirty minutes between growls and grief, try to fool your mind with the suggestion that one is not the cause of the other. Most people do so.

Distinctly realize all the time, that there is no god be yond the stars, nor in some sky-heaven, nor elsewhere, for you to dream of. Only inside one’s every thought can he look for a creator. Where the Creator is, can be no evil, no sin, no wrong ; see, therefor, the Creator within your every word, act, thought. I t’s there wheth er recognized or not. Refusing to recognize your neigh bor, does not blot him out of existence ; nor does ref us-

OCCULT TRUTHS. 9

ingf to see w ithin your soul, the centre of all life, prove it is not there.

I know th is and am in bliss. You don’t know whether it is true or not and are in misfortune. Is it not bet ter to hold an error which gives bliss than be agnostic with unhappiness ? Concentrate all thought and en ergy along these lines,and when pain and nervousness are gone,you will know th a t it was a wise risk to take. Do you know th a t there is not a human being on earth more highly favored than you are ? And yet your pes simism tells you of others, and dupes ypu to believe others are more highly favored. Why believe the lie, the believing of which brings sorrow ? Only the de luded'suffer. T h e wise never suffer. If you suffer, you are in delusion. T h e suffering is for the purpose of call ing your a tten tion to your condition, so that you can get out.

But you cannot g e t out without help ? Well, within three feet of you, goes, wherever you go, a guardian angel. ' A bout the same practice a babe needs to learn to talk , w ill enable you to learn to talk with this angel. Every question may receive its appropriate answer, not in words b u t in solar-plexus feeling. But you would not concentrate on th is practice as long and as fully as a babe does on g e ttin g language ; so, of course, you g*o on ignoring* the presence of th is wonderful creature of whom Solomon w rote in his songs.

Among the earliest subscribers to this periodical, was a wife and m other of th ree children, living" west of the Mississippi river. She entered a t once upon the new life and made very good progress. She failed in all her efforts to in te rest her husband, and the family was sometimes in s tra its because of his unwise life. In July last, she w rote me for advice upon a delicate subject,

being* placed in a quandary between violating* her own ideas of a pure life and gratifying him. For weeks, I was kept from answering. At length, I wrote that she must secure harmony through self sacrifice, but that by so doing, serious changes would be brought about which would relieve her from such self-sacrifice. This letter, 1 mislaid and it did not get mailed. Still the in formation was all psychically communicated into her subconsciousness, and she acted accordingly, as I know also psychically.

I am now in receipt of news that the husband, while far from home, was recently crushed under the railroad car wheels and instantly killed. In the . dead man’s pocket was found a letter which he had just previous ly written to his wife. In it, he stated that during the previous night he had had serious forebodings of ap proaching calamity. He said the misfortune was to be upon him or his family and so he exhorted her to unu sual care of the family during his absence.

The wife writes, that had she been a mere Christian she does not see how she could sustain the shock of this event, but that the teachings of “Occult T ruths’’ have so prepared her for it, that she is calm and peaceful. Though out of the body, she felt ps)Tchically his pres ence for three or four days and nights after the event. Providence then changed her environments. She went among people who had never loved him,and so of course he was driven off. This is best, for he has to sleep and quiet down the terrible vibrations of his earth life. She should now forget him and bid him rest in peace. Any thought of him disturbs that peace.

The most important feature of the case is the awful and over-powering consequence to the offender, when the innocent one pursues absolute non-resistance and makes harmony at all cost: “But I say unto you, that ye resist not evil. Vengeance is mine : it w ill I repay,

OCCULT TRUTHS. 11

saith the L o rd .” T her e is no evil and no vengence ex cept in appearance. The meaning1 is that we should not resist w hat has an evil appearance and that the con sequences w ill fall not upon us, as it would seem, but upon the one who violates our sense of right or asks us to do w hat we would not do voluntarily.

that their clergy are direct successors to the apostles. Let us see how worthy they are to be so called.

The Apostles were told to state that the kingdom of heaven was at hand; the clergy teach, that, if you walk in the way they prescribe, the kingdom of heaven may pos sibly be reached after death—but they are not at all cer tain of this. As to obsession, the majority of the clergy decline to believe such a thing possible, so they can hardly be expected to exorcise an unclean spirit.

Regarding the healing of the sick, let me as a physician assure you that they have no power whatever in this direc tion, for every clergyman of my acquaintance consults a legally qualified Doctor of Medicine whenever his physical

health is impaired. As they cannot dissipate the minor ills of the physical body, it would be out of the question for them to attack a disease such as leprosy ; indeed, I doubt if many of them could be induced to get within hailing-dis tance of a camp of lepers, so great is their fear of the dis ease. Merely mention “raising- of the dead” and the clergy will tell you “that the age of miracles has passed.”

“Provide neither gold nor silver,” and your minister will either go elsewhere or give up preaching and seek another occupation. The Episcopal church teaches that the twelve Apostles possessed miraculous powers, that they used them freely, and, that the Episcopal clergy are not only; follow ers, but, their legitimate and direct successors j yet they do not possess one vestige of the powers ascribed to the Apostles. However, if anyone will crush the ego,rdrop per sonality, learn and obey occult laws, he will not only open the way to acquirement of all these miraculous powers, but, find indeed, that The Kingdom of Heavenlls a,t liandgft W i l l i a m C.

I went into a bakery to purchase a loaf of bread. ^The fresh bread had been sold. As it was quite a distance to another bakery, I exclaimed : “Oh ! I wish you had just one loaf.” She looked at the shelf and said, here is a stale loaf you can have. I was glad to get it, and offered to pay for it the same price as for the fresh, but she would take nothing. A few days after, as I was going into the same store, a young girl preceeded me, and was waited upon first. She presented a five dollar bill and as the baker counted out the change he made a mistake. As the girl was about to pick|up the money, I said : “You have given too much money there.” He counted it over again and found that he had given ten cents too much. After the girl had left, he thanked me. I said you need not thank me, it is the Law of Karma and then I told him of his wife giving me the bread and accept ing no pay for it.

: The ritual of the Episcopal church continually refers to Jesus of Nazareth as the “Christ” and “The Only Son of God.” Every prayer and supplication is made to “Almighty God,” through the mediation of this same Jesus of Naza reth. At the close of nearly every prayer offered by the clergy, we hear the words : “This we ask through the med iation of Thine Only Son our Saviour Jesus Christ.” The Catholics go fu rther in homo-worship and address their prayers to Mary, the Mother of God. An important part of their doctrine is that Jesus of Nazareth, being the Al mighty personal God, died upon a cross to save sinners, and, that the shedding of his blood made redemption of all mankind possible. In other words, the crucifixion of Jesus redeemed the mortgage placed upon humanity by its sinful actions, and satisfied the anger of an offended God.

Even if we could admit this as fact, the redemption ap pears to be of little value, for this church teaches that un less their members live upto a certain standard prescribed

14 OCCULT TRUTHS.

by the doctrine of the church, their souls will be eternally lost. The words, “redeemed by the blood of Jesus,” are spoken, read and sung- at every service, and yet they mean very little of a practical nature. They say Jesus was nail ed to a cross to save sinners I This is the “plan of salva- tion” and they call it divine. This doctrine is a travesty of the mystical truths concealed where theology cannot find them. Ye will not live the life which ye say Jesus taught.

Since the clergy admit Jesus to have been an humble, guileless, faithful teacher of great tru ths—would it not have been better for humanity, had he lived to continue his work for many years, than to have been crucified at the age of thirty-three, after less than two years work ? Further, we know that Jesus of Nazareth was not Christ, and that Christ is the Son of God only in a figurative sense, Jesus, of Naz areth was undoubtedly the name used to partially describe an ideal mystic endowed with miraculous powers; while Christ, The Christ o r the Christos divine principle can be brought to consciousness in each one of us by preparation and willingness fo r it to come to us.

82. —I have stud ied C hristian , D iv in e and M en ta l Science besides va ried other lessons, have taught and tr ie d to heal p e o p le ; a n d y e t J \ have received no satisfactory results. W hy? U. W., Mo.—T h is .is what ninety-nine hundredths o f them would say i f equally honest. It is because they go at such subjects w ith the idea to make money out of it. They utterly ignore what every adept te lls th em : “Ye M ust be born again .” T his.being born again is-a secret, m ystical process which I could perfectly describe,but I must not “for fear of the Jew s.” T hat is, the world will? to-day persecute, turn against, defame, lock up as insane, and scorn whoever tells the facts. Hereby know that no Christian has the rem otest conception of what th is being born again involves, for they tell all they know and more too without su f fering persecution. The matter is utterly, incredible I® you get deep ly into it, or even till you emerge as the butterfly em erges from the crysalis.

83. — Why is i t the woman cannot heal as w ell as the man ? Iy. W., Mo. She can, for man alone can do noth ing divine. The qbunter- parts must either consciously or unconsciously co-operate,; after be ing born again, and both w ill be reborn at the sam e time. T his change lets them back into the harmony of conscious divinity without which no great th ing can be done. The nature of th is can be on ly hinted at here, as it only is in the Scriptures. It is only those reborn of whom we read : “W hat God has joined together let no man think he can put asunder.” God never joined any two people in m arriage on the physical plane. Men, hunting ten dollar b ills, do that and'the courts are putting them asunder by hundreds o f thousands.

“Oh dear, it was so nice to think that all my sins were washed away by the death of Jesus on the cross, and there was a father in heaven looking down on all my troubles with sympathy. T his is a hard way trying to get all from within and being responsible for all that I say and do.” And then I heard a voice as plainly as could be s a y : “|phe flesh pots of E gypt.” I saw that I had been lazy and wanted some one to do for me what I only could do for m yself, so I took new cour age and went to work in earnest.

in this book, all the results which the early C hristians are said to have derived from the Sanctus spiritus, are independently shown by Dr. Williams to be obtainable by a special breathing-. He does not however state the fact that the Greek word “pneum a” and the Eatin “spiritus” always meant breath or breathing- until later Christians undertook to make them mean Spirit in the sense of Ghost or invisi ble personality. If “pneuma” which in all other writing-s means breath were translated literally in the N. T., a wonderful mine of scientific knowledge would be unfolded thereby for those who know how to and do persistently practice this special (holy) breathing which this book describes to a certain extent and of which more is learned from other writers.

T h e H e a le r .—Francis Edgar Mason says in his November num ber : “Anthony Comstock and Rev. Mr. Parkhurst, both alleged re formers, are two of the vilest men on earth. T hey have both seen, in ten minutes, more iniquity than I have seen in 45 years.” How does Mr. Mason know that those men are vile ? Because they see what they talk about so much as vile ? T hat is surely an evidence, but we need to beware, how in proclaiming all good .we fa ll into la belling the character of others as vile ? Comstock and Parkhurst will probably, as the result of present concentration upon what they call vice, next incarnate as actual brothel inhabitants, but that will be good and of God. They seem to need such experiences to enable them to see all as divihe. Condemning Mr. Comstock as v ile is sow ing seed for reincarnating as a Comstock. See him as v ile and that will help make you vile.

Quit Robbing Dead Jew s.—This is the title of a pam phlet of 91 pages by T. L. Harvey, price 25 cents. The author l)as come out from churches and urges others to do so. He criticises them as eaten up with commercialism and as pushing m issionary work by reason of an alliance with the State rather than because God has g iven the vision: “Come over into Macedonia and help us.” He regards P aul’s statem ent: “There remaineth therefore a rest to the people o f God” as a promise to the Jews and not to the church which is called Chris tian. He accuses the latter of trying to rob the jew s of their birth right assigned to them throughout the Scriptures. If you come put of the church you will have quit robbing dead jews, according to this writer. The book is Intellectually argum entative and an effort to give interpretations of scripture in support of his position.. It may serve to induce church people to think over their grounds but w ill doubtless excite denunciation and cbunter-thrusts. It is no longer needful to antagonize them. The church, simply let alone, w ill fall of its own momentum very rapidly in each coming year. It is grati fying to see honest searchers like Mr. Harvey coming to just con clusions on the matter. Having cleared away rubbish they next may build the occult temple.
