Chapter I - The Twin-Verses
Books:
Mastery of Self
Magnetism entertains no unnecessary thought of evil concerning
others
It is altogether superior to low-minded revenge
It never reveals personal embarrassment
It permits no show of irritation
It is incapable of losing temper
It refuses to exhibit hostility
It never admits, never discloses, def
at
The magnetic person never shows indifference toward others
Magnetism conceals the feelings of ridicule and contempt
If you are magnetic, you never indulge in violence
You neither look for slights and insults, nor do you feel
them, unless they are persistently thrust upon you
You are invited to resolve upon the increase of your circle of
friends, and never to lose an opportunity of winning a well-
wisher
This means, of course, that you retain every friend secured,
if possible in self-respect--which should not be unduly rigid
The instant recognition of faces and recollection of names is
intensely magnetic
Magnetism ignores all caste distinctions, and is friendly
toward all
If you would be magnetic in personal relations, you must
splendidly believe both in yourself and in other people
The general magnetic attitude is a close compound of the
magnetic thought and the success-thought, buoyant in hope and
courage and bound together by the magnetic will
In the use of this attitude, every obligation should be
regarded as profoundly sacred The magnetic person cannot be
careless in this respect
This book has all along insisted that magnetic success
imperatively demands the life of highest honor
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
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
And he, therefore, wastes no values, but economizes all
He saves part of his earnings; he carries his money in his
pocket-book, not loosely
But he has the wisdom to recreate, to rest the body, to ease
the mind, to take needed breathing-spells for magnetic increase
