The White Mahatma Coming to Rylander Soon
You May Ask Him Any Question That's
Troubling You

Murdoch wishes it distinctly UNI
derstood that he makes no claim to
supernatural powers and That,
though undoubtedly possessed Of
inherent psychic mentality, his at
tainments are due chiefly to his life
long study Of occult science and to
the development of those human
senses which are dormant in most
of us.
The sixth sense, Of that OF in
tuition, thought transferrence anc
projected, telepatny through mental
concentration - these faculties
mean little to the ordinary person,
vet they are unconsciously used
to a more Or less extent by all OF
us every day.
Murdoch claims that the develop.
ment Of these latent human powers
is the real secret of success; that
every great man in history utilized
these powers in a degree compare
tive to his greatness, and that thu
same is true of the men we know
today in our own community, il
our nation, throughout the world.
