PSYCHOLOGY: PERSONAL and ESSENTIAL BY H. C. SHEPPARD CALIFOR Published by J. F. ROWNY PRESS Los Angeles INTRODUCTORY ARE YOU THINKING? Undoubtedly you are. Some think only "after a fashion;" still, even that is thinking. ARE YOU ALIVE? ARE YOU LIVING? Surely NOT "only after a fashion!" LIFE AND THOUGHT, broadly are a Search-For What? Health? Wealth? Power? Wisdom? Beauty? Charm? All these, PLUS unbounded genius, are either awake in you, asleep in you, or dreaming in you. To search, find and awaken, KNOW YOUR MIND, KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENTS. This tuition is not made to dazzle you like a movie drama— to stimulate while it lasts, but quickly to fade from mind. It will not beglitter and bedevil you with what this or the other Tom, Dick, or Harry among the blatant may have SAID about Success. It will not conceal lack of tuition with displays of fictitious air castles intended to derail attention from the main issue-the achievement of a Successful and Happy Life HERE AND NOW. It will show why the successful "are there;" better still, it shows you how you yourself can and must become a success, and improve your community by vitalizing your own type. A great success of your very type is needed or you would not be here. It does make you familiar with plans and tools, so that your purposes can be achieved, then sets you to work building the real castle of your own choosing. It encourages discarding of opinions and convictions whenever facts and laws can be put in their place. Briefly, it shows you how you can achieve and Enjoy Active, Buoyant Life by working with facts and laws of mind as your secret animating sources of energy-instead of opinions, convictions, and fables. It shows how you can make Success, Personal Attractiveness and Health AUTOMATIC and HABITUAL, and the gleaning of Wisdom INTELLIGENT, ACCURATE and INTUITIONAL. This conforms with what Plotinus said almost two thousand years ago, that Life and Knowledge have three degrees-Opinion, Science, Illumination. 444744 |
