The Foxxfyre Papers 2 Gene Nielsen

 INTRODUCTION

Those of you who know me personally know that I am fond of searching in

out of the way places for bits and pieces of forgotten knowledge.

Much of my searching is done with regard to my own improvement. Like many

of us, I am constantly looking for that one bit of information, that one book or
manuscript that will make everything clear, that will answer all my questions
about the nature of consciousness and of existence, that will solve all my
problems forever.

Failing that, I still keep my eye out for anything I can use which will make my
performances and my readings easier and more effective.

It was just such a piece of information that I came across under unusual
circumstances some time ago, and at some distance from the city in which I
now live.

It is that piece of information which you now hold in your hands, and which I
am now permitted to reveal to you.

The Foxxfyre Papers 3 Gene Nielsen

More years ago than I would care to recall, I found myself in a large
metropolitan city which shall remain nameless in these pages.

I was not there by choice. At that time, I was a member of a government

group, the nature and activities of which are not completely known to the
general public even to this day. I had been assigned to this particular city
primarily to consult the archives of its widely known and highly respected
university.

My work consisted largely of research in the University library. During the

course of this research I ran across several references to a smaller, lesser known
private library which was located in a small town some fifty miles away. The
nature of this library, even through the veiled descriptions I was able to find,
seemed to be such that the material therein could be of much help to me in my
researches, so I determined to contact it, if possible, and see if I could not gain
admittance to their archives.

I asked the University library staff about this other library, but not much
information was forthcoming. I was finally able to get the address and phone
number of this mysterious library from a junior member of the University
library staff.

“What’s the problem here, Charlie?” I asked him. “What’s everyone being so
mysterious about? It’s only a small town library.”

The Foxxfyre Papers 4 Gene Nielsen

“There’s nothing mysterious about it,” said Charlie. “It’s not a small town
library. It’s a private library, that’s all. It’s the library of a private organization,
and only members of the organization are allowed to use it.”

“But surely they’ll allow me access because of my government work?”

Charlie shook his head. “I wouldn’t count on it.”

All this mystery, of course, merely made me more curious, and made me more
determined than ever to gain access to this library. I tried to phone them to see
if an appointment could be arranged, but there was never an answer, this being
long before answering machines were available.

I wrote several letters, but received no reply to any of them. Finally, I

determined to go there myself and confront them with some information about
my work, and see if they wouldn’t waive their members-only rule for the
Federal government.

Finally, exasperated, I wrote one last letter, telling them that I would be in their
city on a certain day, and that I would come to their library location at 10 a.m.
and would expect someone to be there to help me.

I arrived at the appointed time. I had heard a number of conflicting stories

about this library. I had been told that it was in a densely-wooded section of the
city itself, that it was in a densely-wooded area outside the city, that it was in a
wing of the private home of the president of the organization, that it was the

The Foxxfyre Papers 5 Gene Nielsen

only building in the center of a city block of property surrounded by a high
wall, and so on.

None of these stories were true. The last one was the closest to the truth. It
was indeed on a city block, but it was not the only building on that block.
The block it was on was the international headquarters of the organization in
question, and was occupied by several imposing buildings. The whole complex
was on a prime piece of real estate, situated on the edge of a very affluent
residential area. Far from being deep in a densely-wooded area, the whole
complex was open and inviting, with well-kept lawns, shrubs and trees. None
of it looked mysterious at all.

I found the library building and went up to the entrance. To my surprise the
door was open. I walked in. The place seemed deserted.

“Hello? Is anyone here?”

I moved further down the entrance hall and into a large open room which
seemed to take up most of the building.

“Dr. Nielsen.”

Startled, I turned around. A woman stood behind me, her arms folded. Her
severely tailored clothing, black horn-rimmed glasses and dark hair pulled back
in a wide black hair ribbon proclaimed her to be unmistakably the librarian.

“Sorry, you surprised me. I didn’t hear you come up.”

The Foxxfyre Papers 6 Gene Nielsen

She walked past me into the library proper.

“The Imperator has granted your request. You may make full use of our
facilities for your research. Please make yourself at home and let me know if
there is anything you require.”

“Thank you,” I said, moving into the room and putting my briefcase down on
one of the library tables.

“Could you tell me where I can find …”

I turned to face her, but she was gone!

A trifle taken aback at her apparent ability to come and go without a sound, I
nevertheless began a circuit of the room, looking for the material I was after. I
soon found it, brought some books to my table, and began taking notes.

I worked continuously for some time. The library was, indeed, a source of
information that was quite valuable for my research and I was so absorbed in
my notes that, once again, I did not hear her approach until her voice at my
elbow said:

“It’s twelve o’clock. The library will be closed for an hour. You may leave your
things here, they will not be disturbed. I will show you where you can get
lunch.”

The Foxxfyre Papers 7 Gene Nielsen

We left the library and walked to the corner of the block, where she pointed
out a neighborhood drug store with a lunch counter across the street.

I thanked her and crossed the street. About halfway across I turned to look at
her, but, true to form, she had once again vanished.

A few minutes before 1 p.m. I walked up the steps to the library door, but this
time it was locked. I turned around and started to walk down the steps,
intending to stroll around the area till the library reopened.

I had taken only a couple of steps when I heard her.

“Come in.”

She stood at the library entrance, the door still closed behind her. Again, she
had apparently appeared out of nowhere. I hadn’t heard the door open or
close.

I continued with my researches for the rest of the afternoon. Promptly at 5

p.m. she once again appeared to tell me the library was closing for the day and
would reopen at 9 a.m. the following day.

“I’m not sure how long my research will take,” I said as we walked toward the
door.

“You may use the library for as long as you wish,” she said. “Good evening.”

The Foxxfyre Papers 8 Gene Nielsen

I drove back to the city and telegraphed my superiors, telling them that I had
gained access to the library and my research was proceeding apace. The next
morning I received a telegram from my superiors authorizing me to move my
base of operations to the library town for as long as I needed to be there.

The next morning I left early, drove to the small town and secured lodgings
close to the library. I continued working there for a little over two weeks. At
the end of that time I thanked the librarian for her cooperation, told her that
my work was almost done, and that I would only require the use of the library
for two or three more days at the most.

We were standing out in front of the library as she locked the door at the end
of the day.

“Wait a moment,” she said. “I have something for you.”

She went back into the library and in a moment returned with a sealed
envelope.

“Thank you,” I said. “What is it?”

“Don’t open it until you get back to the city. It contains full instructions on
how you can obtain certain information that will be valuable to you in the years
to come. This information may not seem to be of any use to you now, since
you are not at present involved in the areas the information covers, but one day
you will be involved in these areas, and it is then that you will realize the true
value of this information.”

The Foxxfyre Papers 9 Gene Nielsen

“This information may seem extremely simple and obvious to you when you
first read it, but do not despise it on that account. You must learn to read
between the lines. There is more there than you can realize even after many
readings.”

Back in the city, I completed my report and went back to work in the university
library. It was some three weeks after I had come back to the city that, leaving
the university library on a Friday evening after work, I suddenly remembered
the envelope.

Yes, it was still there, in the inside pocket of my coat. Over dinner that night I
opened it. The contents consisted of two handwritten sheets of paper. They
were apparently written by my mysterious librarian lady and told me how to
find a small shop on a side street close to the city’s main business street.

As I opened the sheets to read them, a small flat object fell out onto the table.
It was a circular disc about the size of a half dollar, made of some metal that
was apparently very old. One side held a faded, barely visible picture of what I
later found out was an Egyptian scarab, and on the other was what looked like
a Chinese character. I also learned that this character was not Chinese, but
Japanese, and was the symbol for the Japanese word, “Ki”, which defies
accurate translation into English, but which is usually rendered as “spirit”,
“energy”, “spiritual force”, or something similar.

The letter said I was to go to the aforementioned small shop and give this
talisman to the proprietor. He would then give me a manuscript which I was to
study and guard carefully.

The Foxxfyre Papers 10 Gene Nielsen

I was to keep this manuscript secret for thirty years. At the end of that time I
would be free to share it with others that I felt would appreciate and use the
information therein judiciously, properly, and for the benefit of all mankind. I
would also be free to publish it if I so chose.

The letter was unsigned. It was with a sudden shock that I realized that I didn’t
know the librarian’s name.

The following day I went to the small side street mentioned in the letter. It was
in the middle of the block about half a block off the main street and was only a
block long, more like an alley than a street. It was populated by several
nondescript business establishments, all of them looking as if they’d seen better
days.

The one I was looking for was in the center of the block with a sign over the
door reading “CURIOUS GOODS”. I went in and stood at the counter for a
moment until the curtain at the rear rustled and a man came out.

His description matched the one in the instructions perfectly. He was of

average height, but carried himself in such a way that he appeared to be taller.
He had an imposing head of pure white hair and his steely blue eyes looked at
me through a pair of rimless spectacles. Oddly enough, I took no notice of
what he wore, and cannot, to this day, describe his clothing.

He stood before me on the other side of the counter without a word. I took
out the envelope, removed the letter and tipped out the talisman onto the
counter.

The Foxxfyre Papers 11 Gene Nielsen

Without a word he picked it up, looked at both sides, then turned his piercing
gaze upon me. He nodded as if to himself, laid the talisman back on the
counter, then turned and went back through the curtain.

Several minutes elapsed. Finally he returned, holding a single piece of paper

apparently torn from a notepad. He placed the paper on the counter in front
of me and tapped it peremptorily. I picked it up. On it was written, in bold,
clear block letters, the word “TOMORROW”.

“Tomorrow?” I said. “But tomorrow’s Sunday! Will you be open tomorrow?”

He didn’t answer, but picked up the talisman, slipped it back between the
sheets of the letter, replaced the letter in the envelope, handed it to me with an
emphatic gesture, and once again tapped the “TOMORROW” paper on the
counter.

I started to protest, but he shook his head, thrust the envelope at me and
pointed toward the door. I had no choice but to leave.

I determined to be right in front of his door when he opened the next day, but
as I walked back to the main business street, it suddenly occurred to me that I
didn’t know what his business hours were.

I went into a nearby drugstore and found a phone booth. There was no listing
in either the white or yellow pages for any shop named “CURIOUS GOODS”.
I went to the lunch counter for a sandwich and a cup of coffee. I asked the
waitress if she knew the name of the little short street right behind the main

The Foxxfyre Papers 12 Gene Nielsen

street, right behind the drug store. She gave me a very curious look, then shook
her head.

All this was getting just too mysterious for me. I walked down the main street
and, on an impulse, turned into a book store.

I showed the bookstore owner the talisman, but he was unable to tell me
anything about it, other than identifying the scarab and Japanese writing.

Needless to say, I was at the door of the mysterious shop bright and early the
next day at 8 a.m.

The door, however, was locked.

I returned at 9 a.m. to find the door still locked. At 10 a.m. I found a folded
sheet of paper taped to the door. I tore it off and opened it. Clearly and boldly
written in the middle of the page, in the same handwriting as the earlier
“TOMORROW” note, was “5:30 p.m.”

Five thirty? I was supposed to wait around all day until five thirty in the
afternoon? What was I supposed to do with myself till then?

Angry and impatient, I strode rapidly back to the main street and looked up
and down. Eventually I calmed down, had some lunch, and went to a movie.
The film let out a few minutes before five. I made my way back to the little
street and watched the CURIOUS GOODS shop door from the corner. There

The Foxxfyre Papers 13 Gene Nielsen

were no more pieces of paper on the door, but I didn’t go up and try it. I knew
it would be locked.

Finally, it was 5:29. I walked toward the door and as I approached it, it slowly
swung open. In a moment I found myself inside, standing across the counter
from the proprietor as on the day before.

Again he looked at me without a word. A long moment passed. Suddenly, he

pointed toward my coat pocket, then to the counter top, tapping it impatiently
with his long forefinger.

Again I took out the envelope, extracted the letter, and tipped the talisman out
onto the counter top. And once again he picked it up, turned it over, subjected
each side to the same burning scrutiny and abruptly disappeared behind the
curtain.

It seemed to me that he took longer to reappear this time than the day before,
but perhaps this was simply my impatience. When he finally did reappear, he
was carrying an ornately-carved box of some kind of dark wood I was unable
to identify then or later.

I reached for the box to open it, but he stopped me. Once again he
reassembled the talisman, letter and envelope, gestured that I was to put it back
in my pocket, then handed me the box and, taking my arm, escorted me to the
door.

In a trice I was out on the street and the door was locked again behind me.

The Foxxfyre Papers 14 Gene Nielsen

But I had the information! By the time I got back to my room it was dinner
time. Torn by curiosity, I debated within myself as to whether I should open it
now or have dinner first. Hunger won out, and despite my impatience, I went
to my room, hid the box under my bed, locked the door and went out to
dinner.

Later, relaxed and at ease after a fine evening meal, I went back to my room
and changed into my pajamas before opening the box. I wanted to be as
comfortable as possible before confronting whatever revelations were awaiting
me.

Trembling a little, I opened the box.

Inside was a manuscript bound together with a silken cord. I turned to the first
page, and then groaned in disappointment. The manuscript was apparently
written in Greek.

χονγρατυλατιονσ ον ψουρ συχχεσσφυλ

αχθυισιτιον οφ τηε σεχρετσ χονταινεδ ωιτηιν τηεσε

Damn! Damn, damn, damn, damn, BLAST! What kind of sinister jape was
THIS?

I shook my fist at the ceiling and roundly cursed the manuscript, the mysterious
old man, his equally mysterious shop, the mysterious lady librarian, her even
more mysterious private library, the small town of the private library, the large

The Foxxfyre Papers 15 Gene Nielsen

city of my assignment and the government agency that had sent me here, in
that order, and with exceptional and extreme vehemence.

Then, trembling and exhausted, I fell back on the bed and closed my eyes,
burying my face in my pillow. Soon I grew calmer and drifted off into a fitful
slumber.

In a dream, the lady librarian appeared before me, not in her severely tailored
suit, but in a diaphanous nightgown that left nothing to the imagination.

Without a word she removed her glasses and untied her hair ribbon, dropping
it on the floor. Then, she lifted the covers and got in bed with me.

At the conclusion of our intimacies, she got out of bed and, leaning over me,
whispered, “Underneath!” She then kissed me tenderly, and gently closed my
eyes with one hand.

I awoke next morning with mixed emotions. The dream had been enjoyable
but I was no closer to solving the mystery of the manuscript.

I showered, shaved, dressed and went out to breakfast. After breakfast, I

thought things over and decided to take the manuscript with me to work.
Certainly I could find someone in the university to translate it for me.

I went back to my room to get it. As I removed it from the box, I suddenly
heard the librarian’s voice clearly in my ear, repeating the word she said in my
dream:

The Foxxfyre Papers 16 Gene Nielsen

“Underneath!”

Was this supposed to mean something to me? Underneath what? I looked in

the bottom of the box, and found nothing. I looked under the manuscript
itself, flipped through all its pages – still nothing.

I turned over the box itself. What was this?

A small manila envelope was attached to the bottom of the box. I opened it in
a fever of excitement and found a file card inside with the following on it:

αa ηh οo ϖv
βb ιi πp ωw
χc ϕj θq ξx
δd κk ρr ψy
εe λl σs ζz
φf µm τt
γg νn υu

Aha – I had it! I didn’t have to consult with a Greek scholar at the university at
all. The manuscript was written in English, but using the Greek alphabet!

I stuffed the manuscript and the card into my briefcase with the rest of my
papers and started to shove the now-empty box under the bed. Something
caught my eye. I reached under the bed and drew it out.

The Foxxfyre Papers 17 Gene Nielsen

It was a black hair ribbon.

I took the manuscript and the card with me to work and began the laborious
task of deciphering the manuscript. It took me several days of working through
my lunch hours and stealing what time I could from my regular duties.

What follows is a word-for-word translation of the mysterious manuscript.

Now, please note: it is an OLD manuscript.

It was old when it came into my possession, and I was forbidden to release it to
the public for thirty years. Some of the attitudes and conclusions expressed
therein may seem to you to be out of date. Nevertheless, the conclusions
reached by the unknown writer of the manuscript are valid in a larger sense
than perhaps imagined at the time.

I am sure you can adapt the information in the manuscript to today’s situations
and attitudes. This is possible because, while the manuscript is old, the basic
information given therein is timeless.

I can tell you this about it; the information in it literally changed my life. It got
me started on a path that I am still following and still exploring.

It has helped me enormously. I’m sure it will do the same for you if you will
apply and practice its teachings.

THE FOXXFYRE PAPERS

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Congratulations on your successful acquisition of the secrets contained within

these pages.

NOTE CAREFULLY AND BE WARNED!

This information may not seem to be of any use to you now, since you are not
at present involved in the areas the information covers, but one day you will be
involved in these areas, and it is then that you will realize the true value of this
information.

This information may also seem extremely simple and obvious to you when
you first read it, but do not despise it on that account.

Do not be disappointed because the manuscript seems short. Down through

the ages, the information has been refined, distilled and clarified to give you the
most possible amount of information in the shortest possible space, for ease of
transportation, study, and, upon occasion, concealment from those that would
suppress it.

Make no mistake, there is more here than you can realize even after many
readings.

The Foxxfyre Papers 19 Gene Nielsen

You must learn to read between the lines.

Read this manuscript carefully. Absorb its information well. Then practice it.

But be warned! This information is a two-edged sword. It can bring help to

mankind and prosperity to you – but if you use it for evil, rather than for the
good of all mankind, it will certainly bring you DISASTER!

Down through the ages, there has been one Secret that, if properly
implemented, can bring happiness and success to those who know and practice
it.

It has never been known to fail.

It is very simply expressed as:

“FIND A NEED AND FILL IT”

These papers will tell you of a need that is universal, and very seldom filled.

There is a certain profession, art, activity or way of making a living which, over
the years, has proven to be of great help, not only to those who are the
recipients of its activity, but to those who practice it as well.

Only a relative few down through the ages have been privileged to engage in
this profession, and those who practice it, when the time comes to pass this

The Foxxfyre Papers 20 Gene Nielsen

knowledge on, choose the recipients of this knowledge very carefully. When
the time comes for you to pass this knowledge on, you too, must choose your
recipients very carefully.

You have been designated as one of the Chosen.

It has been determined by means which do not concern you at this juncture,
and which may even be beyond your present comprehension, that you possess
the required abilities, talents, and requisites to receive this knowledge.

What you do with this knowledge will be up to you. How you use this
information, or if you use it at all, will be up to you. You can be assured,
however, of one fact. If you do decide to pursue this path, it will be a rewarding
one, both in terms of financial security and in the knowledge that you are
helping your fellow man weather the vicissitudes of life.

But be warned! Should you decide to follow this path, there are several factors
which must be taken into account:

Not everyone will appreciate this knowledge. As a matter of fact, there will be
those definitely opposed to it. Should those in power in your city, state or
country be of this persuasion, it will make your practice of this knowledge
difficult. These difficulties can be surmounted, but it may take considerable
time and effort on your part.

You must always use this knowledge for the good of your fellow man, and
never yield to the temptation to amass great personal wealth through its misuse.

The Foxxfyre Papers 21 Gene Nielsen

Rest assured, it is possible to misuse this information. Rest assured, also, that
those who do misuse it invariably come to grief. It is as inevitable as the day
following the night, and the night following the day.

Following this path will require time and effort on your part. It is, in many
ways, a lifetime process, and you must invest some of this time and effort in
training yourself properly at the beginning.

The profession for which you have been chosen is that of Private Reader.

The first thing you must do to fulfill your obligations in this direction is to
make a thorough study of one or more of the established systems of divination,
such as Card Reading or Palm Reading. This information is available at public
libraries everywhere, so you will probably not have to make as much of a
financial outlay as you will of time.

A good private reader, (or “fortune teller”, as the profession is sometimes

derogatorily termed) is a keen observer of people and their ways of thinking
and acting. It requires imagination, ability to piece together a whole personality
from bits of conversation, the art of asking a few leading questions which are
not obvious to the one being questioned, and a talent for drawing pertinent
conclusions from the way a person is dressed, what he says, and the like, to be
successful.

The average person is interested in himself and his own problems. Many of
these problems result from personality characteristics which are more or less

The Foxxfyre Papers 22 Gene Nielsen

obvious to others but which escape him. Very often these facts can be used by
a keen observer as the basis for talking about one’s fortune.

But the entertaining private reader, the professional private reader, one who is
always ready to demonstrate his or her skills at a party by telling the guests
about themselves, must have a clever line of talk, regardless of the type of
reading method employed, be it reading the cards, reading the palm, analyzing
your inquirer’s handwriting, finding their significant numbers or whatever
system of divination you may be using.

He must begin the reading by asking a few unrelated questions which put the
inquirer at his ease and allow him to act naturally. This type of question and a
great deal of pleasant chatter should be sandwiched in throughout the reading
so that the inquirer is kept at ease and is not fully aware of what is going on.
This chatter serves to make the inquirer interested and happy throughout the
reading session.

But the heart of the private reading session is not the chatter or meaningless
small talk. These are merely window dressing. You may learn something, or at
least get a few hints during this part of the procedure. But you will learn most
from making careful observations of the inquirer.

~ Look at his or her manner of dress. Is it plain or gaudy?

~ Does the person dress in contemporary style or is she out of
style?
~ Does she show a lack of taste?

The Foxxfyre Papers 23 Gene Nielsen

 ~ Does the manner of her dressing show wealth or a meager
income?
~ Is the person pleasing in dress and facial appearance, or just
plain, or repellent?

All of these matters are related to his or her life and are often results of
personality characteristics which are meaningful.

Watch the person’s manner.

~ Is he possessed or nervous even after you have attempted to

put him at ease?
~ Is he quiet and relaxed or jumpy and uneasy?
~ Is he attempting to put on a front, acting as though he did not
care, or is he interested and anxious?

These can be cues for you to follow.

Then, from time to time during the reading session, ask leading questions,
questions based on what you have seen. His answers will give you hints for
further questions.

Sometimes the tone of voice used in answering your questions, the facial
expressions, the bodily movements, will suggest to a keen observer facts which
can be drawn out as the reading session proceeds.

The Foxxfyre Papers 24 Gene Nielsen

Remember, the indications and signs found in the palm, in tea leaves, in cards,
or in any other device which you may use are suggestive only. They have
general meanings, but the important facts are to be found within these general
meanings. And these latter are what you must discover by your own ingenuity.

At times you must make shrewd guesses, a little at a time, and watch your
inquirer’s reactions. These will tell you a great deal, and you can move from
them to other suggestions which will give you new cues. In this way you can fill
in a picture which would otherwise be general and apply to many people. Your
inquirer is not vitally interested in the general factors, but in more specific
things.

Let us take an example. Suppose your inquirer is a young lady of seventeen or

thereabouts. She is nicely dressed and has a pleasant smile. Her hands are kept
carefully and tastefully. She is pretty and has a soft vibrant voice when she
speaks.

From these few facts you can make many judgments. Without doubt, she is
thinking of love. She possibly has many admirers.

You deal out the cards after talking with her a few minutes and making certain
observations to yourself. Then you see a young man in the cards. He is tall,
dark and handsome. A mere suggestion of this fact may bring a glow to her
eyes.

You have a clue. She knows someone who fits this description. You can afford
to ask a few questions and let her dwell on the fact of the man for a moment.

The Foxxfyre Papers 25 Gene Nielsen

Her actions will reveal enough for you to go on to talk about him and his
relationship to her.

This line of procedure applies regardless of the method of reading you are
using. The reading method will give you suggestions upon which you must
build your case.

What the inquirer does, even the most insignificant act, may be your clue. Use
it. Work it for all that it is worth. It may lead to other clues and, with the help
of your reading method, you can construct an interesting and meaningful
reading.

The most important asset of a good private reader is the ability to size up
personalities. This requires a kind of sensitivity to personal moods and actions.

It is highly possible that you will be looking directly at a person and yet be blind
to actions that mean much. You cannot afford this blindness. It is like a curtain
between you and the inquirer and will make anything that you do with your
reading method of little value.

Some persons are gifted with a keen sensitivity to other persons and their
moods. If you have even a little of this gift, develop it.

How can you develop it? That is easy.

The Foxxfyre Papers 26 Gene Nielsen

Obey your first impressions. Act upon the weakest impression that you have.
These are beginnings. As you make use of them, act as they direct, you will find
yourself becoming keener. Your sensitivity will grow.
It is just like the development of sensitivity in any field. The musician is
sensitive to tone and the artist is sensitive to color because neither has refused
to act when it seemed necessary.

They have not tried to suppress the first drawings of sensitivity, but have taken
hold of these early and vague beginnings and by constantly protecting them
have developed them into full maturity.

A person enters your office and immediately you sense that he is unhappy, or
studious, or an energetic businessman.

Follow these impressions. Ask questions, not bold and obvious questions, but
vague questions to confirm your impression. Then go on from there.

At first you will make mistakes. Not every impression is correct. But keep
practicing. You will be surprised at the results even after a short time.

Having sensed the nature of the person you are dealing with and having sized
up his interests and personal characteristics, emphasize things in which he is
interested in your fortune telling or psychic reading for him.

Play on these interests, expand them, and watch his reactions. These will open

It is as well to remember that there are certain things that you can say to your
inquirer that will, in most cases, strike a responsive chord in your listener,
regardless of their situation or station in life. For the most part, these are:

It is safe in most cases with middle-aged men to declare that they have had a
law-suit, or a great dispute as to property, which has given them a great deal of
trouble.

This information must be uttered impressively. Emphasis, pauses, and lowering

of the voice are of great assistance in private readings. If the subject betrays the
least emotion, or admits it, promptly improve upon the occasion, express
sympathy, and follow it up.

Declare that a great fortune, or something greatly to the advantage of the

subject, or something which will gratify him, will soon come his way, but that
he must be keen to watch his opportunity and be bold and energetic.

He will have three great chances, or fortunes, in his life. If you know that he has
inherited or made a fortune, or had a good appointment, you may say that he
has already realized one of them. This seldom fails.

A lady of great wealth and beauty, who is of singularly sympathetic disposition,

is in love with him, or ready to be, and it will depend on himself to secure his
happiness. Or he will soon meet such a person when he shall least expect it.

"You had at one time great trouble with your relations (or
friends). They treated you very unkindly."

The Foxxfyre Papers 28 Gene Nielsen

 Or, "They were prepared to do so, but your resolute conduct
daunted them."

"You have been three times in great danger of death."

Pronounce this very impressively. Everybody, though it be a schoolboy

believes, or likes to believe, that he has encountered perils. This is infallible, or
at least it takes in most people. If the subject can be induced to relate his
hairbreadth escapes, you may foretell future perils.

"You have had an enemy who has caused you great trouble. But
he [or she – it is well not to specify which till you find out the sex] will go
too far before long, and his or her effort to injure you will recoil
on him or her."

Or, briefly, "It is written that someone, by trying to wrong you,

will incur terrible retribution."

Or, "You have had enemies, but they are all destined to come to
grief."

Or, "You had an enemy but you outlived him."

"You got yourself once into great trouble by doing a good act."

The Foxxfyre Papers 29 Gene Nielsen

 "Your passions have three times gotten you into great trouble.
Once your inconsiderate anger (or pursuit of pleasure) involved
you in great suffering which, in the end, was to your advantage."

Or else, "This will come to pass; therefore be on your guard."

"You will soon meet with a person who will have a great influence
on your future life if you cultivate his friendship. You will before
long meet someone who will fall in love with you, if encouraged."

"You will find something very valuable if you keep your eyes open
and watch closely. You have twice passed over a treasure and
missed it, but you will have a third opportunity."

"You have done a great deal of good, or made the fortune or

prosperity of persons who have been very ungrateful."

"You have been involved in several love affairs, but your conduct
in all was really perfectly blameless."

"You have great capacity for something, and before long an

occasion will present itself for you to exert it to your advantage."

Another factor must be taken into consideration here. As you continue to grow
and develop in your experience, over time you will receive insights apparently
from nowhere. These will be few and far between at first, and then will

The Foxxfyre Papers 30 Gene Nielsen

gradually increase in frequency. They will be like sudden flashes of clarity that
appear before your mind’s eye, as it were.

When a sudden impulse or flash of insight occurs, DO NOT IGNORE IT.

NO MATTER HOW UNRELATED IT MAY SEEM TO BE to your client’s
problems, DESCRIBE IT TO HER. You will often be pleasantly surprised by
the accuracy of these visions.

Too, you will find that from time to time your client will DENY the accuracy
or applicability of one of these sudden insights.

DO NOT LET THEM.

INSIST on its accuracy and, if necessary, PRESSURE your client until,

searching her memory, she comes up with or brings to mind a situation that fits
your insight in greater or lesser degree.

This is an important point. YOU CLIENT WANTS YOU TO BE RIGHT.

Therefore, she will do EVERYTHING IN HER POWER to confirm ANY
statement you may make about her.

By putting the above points adroitly, varying or combining them, and above all
by your insistence on the accuracy and applicability of your impressions.
startling cases of conviction may be made.

You may say “This is deception.”

The Foxxfyre Papers 31 Gene Nielsen

Perhaps.

Yet even within this deception will be found intuition, or the inexplicable
insight to character as described above, and the deceiver himself be led to
marvel, so true is it that he who flies from Brahma goes towards him, let him do what he
will.

Remember:
TRUTH IS EVERYWHERE
AND EVEN LIES LEAD TO IT

There are two more things to remember:

The first is that you must never attempt to be that which you are not. You
must never attempt to diagnose any health condition or prescribe any remedy
for such a condition, for that is against the law unless you are a licensed
medical doctor or other health professional. Refer all questions of health and
disease to competent medical authority.

Similarly, you must never attempt to give legal advice unless you are an
attorney. Again, refer all legal questions to competent and qualified legal
authority.

Secondly, there is a great mass of lore that has come to use from the ages.
Many people have given their lives to the study of this lore. Others come from
a long line of people who have developed fortune telling as a racial and cultural

The Foxxfyre Papers 32 Gene Nielsen

occupation. The gypsies are such a people. Many of them have come to grief
through using these powers to cheat people.

Others have found over the centuries that it is best and more productive to
emphasize the positive.
Therefore, look for good things. If you find some evil in the cards, in the hand,
or elsewhere, play it down or overlook it altogether. You may cause trouble and
do more harm than good. And you may be mistaken.

There is one exception to this rule. If you see something that is negative in your
readings, but it is something THAT THE INQUIRER CAN REMEDY
THROUGH HIS OR HER OWN EFFORTS, it is your responsibility to point
this out.

For your inquirer to face their problem, and to overcome it, will do two things
for them:

(1) It will solve the problem in question, and

(2) It will strengthen your inquirer’s character, and give them
more courage to face similar situations in the future, since
they now know they can handle them.

So, look for the good. Look for health, wealth, prosperity, and happiness. Play
these up and you will be popular and people will want to get readings from you.
People like to hear the good and not the bad. You should play on this desire. It
will make everybody happier, and you will be performing a genuine service for
your fellow man.
