LENVOI AND FINALITY

I am reading over these pages for the last time before they go to the printer wh
en,
from then on, changes will be hard to make, small changes yes, large changes no.
I
wonder did I leave anything out? What obvious thing more should I have said? (it

may come to me in the dead of night) (I hope I got it all and more does not come
)
(Well I cant think of anything more to say right now)
For one thing I could have written better prose. But if I dont stop sometime I fi
nd I can
go on endlessly improving the words and sentences, revising, revising, revising
endlessly and if I did that I dont know when I would ever get thru with a book at
all.
I will cover/hedge up, again, for myself by saying, as I said in my first book,
I am not
trying to write glorious prose literature that will carry my name down in histor
y as an
author I will never be a great writer/author No I am writing only to get down Ba
sic
Occult Knowledge and Basic Occult Working Directions, and that on a very difficu
lt
subject, perhaps the most difficult subject in the whole world THE SUBJECT OF
MAN AND HIS POWERS, and how to use them to protect himself from the hurts of
the Physical Plane. Certainly this is a subject to stagger anyones ability/confid
ence
as to know, for sure, just how to handle properly, and correctly, much less to t
each
properly.
I DO THIS WRITING JOB, NOT TO HELPMYSELF, NOT TO HELP YOU, BUT TO
TEACH YOU TO HELP YOU, TO HELP, YOURSELF!!!
I have been expecting to be accused of writing too few pages on such a large sub
ject.
I must admit that I did not pad out the pages of the book, nor did I pad out the
pages
of the first book, to make the books larger. (Please note that the paper is quit
e thin
and that there are more words on a page than is usual in books especially the ol
der
books in which a thicker paper was used and a different kind of ink had to be
absorbed by that paper) I tried very hard to go right to the core/heart of the O
ccult
and, in as simple language as possible, explain the Basic Knowledge of the Art o
f
Getting Material Things thru Creative Visualization. I then laid out the tools o
f the
trade followed by as practical working directions of using the Tools as possible
. I tried
to keep things clear and to the point, not going too much into rapturous Nu Thot
gush
about divine love et al as against cold intellectualism, neither extreme of whic
h will
get us anywhere. I wrote for the earnest, average, student-person, so he could
understand the material AND USE IT. SO FOR HEAVENS SAKE, AND YOUR OWN
SAKE! LEARN THE ART OF CREATIVE VISUALIZATION AND USE IT!!
