acquaintances. So far from putting
out thoughts of desire to help others
and be agreeable to them, she is actu-
ally consciously or. uncoRsciously de-
manding and drawing from them a
thought aura which she can feed on
and make use of. They feel the loss
and are depleted. often without know
ing why. Are there not among your
acquaintances persons who bore yoli
to death and leave you in an exhaust
ed condition after they have called:
Well, these people are human YAM
pires. They are failures In the indus
trial world because they demand more
than they are willing to give. Theii
dominant thought is always of draw
ing good from others to themselves III.

themselves to all the world. They

they fly to mentally feed on somebody
else instead OF taking the lesson home
