NATUROSOPHIA

These FORCES have been catalogued, and given out in ORDERLY Sequence, so as to form a Process that may be studied and applied in one's DAILY Existence, so as to co-operate with the LAWS obtaining in the Cosmos: bringing about HARMONY and WELL-BEING to the Student.

## HOW THESE INNER FORCES ARE MANIFESTED

The INNER Forces -- that mould and vibrate the FORM -- endow it with COLOR and ACTIVITY -- retain the SECRET of Evolution and Involvement. And the UNDERSTANDING of them will capaxitate us to DIRECT Them; and USE Them, so as to show:- SELF-CONTROL; SELF-RELIANCE; and SELF-HOOD, which are the GOAL of HUMAN Existence.

## WHAT NATUROSOPHIA WILL TEACH ITS STUDENTS

### NATUROSOPHIA WILL TEACH US:

- SELF-CONTROL, or the Co-ordination of Force and Matter, under the guidance of the SELF, or WHOLE Individual.

- SELF-RELIANCE, or the Confidence in the INNER Knowledge, acquired during the Exercise of SELF-Control.

- SELF-HOOD, or the Power to be Ourselves under every condition or circumstance of Life.

## THIS TEACHING DOES NOT TAKE AWAY OUR IDEALS

The REALIZATION of Ourselves, as HUMAN Beings does not, in any sense, take away our IDEALS.

NATUROSOPHIA

in life, either Religious; Scientific; or Worldly:- but the UNDERSTANDING and APPLICATION of the Process that will bring us back to our INNER Lives will -- of Itself -- have A DIRECTING POWER in our lives, so as to bring a more NORMAL Conception of Religion, Science, or Enterprises.

## SOME OF THE DELUSIONS WE ARE LABORING UNDER

We are under the Delusion, or Misconception, that our Old Conceptions or Life are to be preserved at every cost; that they are the FLOWERING of the BEST Thought of the Race; then they are "SACRED;" that they have been entrusted to us from ABOVE; that they are DELIVERED: "Once for All."

## UNFOLDMENT OF BODY: UNFOLDMENT OF MIND

We do not concede the same privileges to our IDEAS that we do to our BODILY Changes.

We WERE Children; we WERE Youths; we grew to Maturity; NOW we are Old:- would that mean that we should always act like Children, because once we were Children? Or, that the only REAL Pleasures of Life are the ROMANCES of our Youth?

Every NEW Unfoldment of the BODY presupposes an Unfoldment of the MIND, of the MENTAL Qualities.

## NEW IDEALS PREFIGURED IN UNFOLDMENT OF RACE

Every NEW Phase of the Evolution of the Race presupposes, also, a NEW Trend of THOUGHTS and NEW Ideals. The Race to which we belong has HAD its PERIOD-OF-CHILDHOOD, with its

18

NATUROSOPHIA

DREAMS of PROTECTION and DEPENDENCE; its PERIOD-OF-ROMANTIC-YOUTH, with its Fires of Chivalry and Daring; but its "PERIOD-OF-MATURITY," and "BALANCED-REASON," in which every effort of the Mind is CENTERED in REASON; in FACTS; and COMMON SENSE is: "IN-THE-MAKING."

THIS COMMON-SENSE PERIOD IS NEARLY AT HAND

This last Period is rapidly approaching, and the Race is clamoring for a NATURAL, a Common-Sense Conception of Life, and a Sensible APPLICATION of the POTENTIALITIES embodied in The HUMAN Body.

Religion, Science and Commerce must ADAPT to the NEW Impulse, or be CRUSHED under the WHEEL-OF-PROGRESS.

HARD FOR US TO ADAPT OURSELVES TO NEW IDEAS

It is hard for us HUMAN Beings to ADAPT ourselves to any NEW Impulse.

The Wheels of the Gods will grind our Dreams to DUST, and this Dust will BLIND us, so that our march will take place in the Eternal Night of Ignorance.

## CO-ORDINATION OF ELEMENTS AND FORCES WITHIN

NATUROSOPHIA purports to convey to its Students the NECESSITY of UNDERSTANDING the Composition and Mechanism of The HUMAN Body, and HOW this Mechanism responds to PSYCHIC Activities:- approaching IT from the Environment.

It teaches the CO-ORDINATION of the different ELEMENTS and FORCES operating WITHIN The HUMAN Being, so as to bring about a State of BALANCED Activity in every one of our Actions and Thoughts.

## MYSTERY OF THE EXISTENCE OF SELF IS SOLVED

The Mystery of the Existence of SELF will be solved by a SYSTEMATIC and NATURAL Way of attuning ourselves to INCOMING Forces:- this NATURAL Process being conveyed to the Individual in a comprehensible and easy way, devoid of technicalities or confusing Ideas.

## TO GAIN MASTERY AND UNDERSTANDING OF VIBRATION

The LAWS OF NATURE, in their relation to Man, are explained by a Series of Articles * illustrating the working of the LAW, and the Method of USING It, for the betterment of one's life.

## LIGHT WILL DAWN UPON ALL, IN THE DAYS TO COME

The Light of Understanding will undoubtedly dawn upon The Entire Race, in time to come, with, or without, any SCIENTIFIC Process of UNFOLDMENT, even as it has dawned in every other Department of Life:- but through the APPLICATION of NATURAL Principles, anyone can hasten The Glorious Day of HUMAN Emancipation from Ignorance, Bigotry, and Narrow-Mindedness.

The fact that A NEW Race will enjoy these privileges does not -- in a way -- satisfy the NATURAL Desire, or Urge, from WITHIN, to SHORTEN THE TIME so that one may enjoy -- in the present -- the Knowledge that is SURE to Manifest in the Future.

To this end A Course has been prepared consisting of INDIVIDUAL Instruction, as follows:

*See LIST OF BROCHURES obtainable on application.*

### WHAT THE RESULTS OF THIS TEACHING WILL BE:

The RESULTS of these Courses -- consisting of the exposition and demonstration of the existence of Forces under the CONTROL of the Individual -- will be to gain MASTERY AND UNDERSTANDING of LIFE-VIBRATIONS.

The Light of Understanding will undoubtedly dawn upon the WHOLE of the Race, in time to come -- with, or without, any SCIENTIFIC System of Unfoldment:-- even as this Light has dawned in every other department of life.

But, through the application of NATURAL PRINCIPLES, anyone can hasten the Glorious Day of Human Emancipation from Ignorance, Bigotry, and Narrow-mindedness.

The fact that a New Race will enjoy these privileges does not -- in a way -- satisfy The NATURAL Desire (or URGE from Within) to **shorten the time**, so as to enjoy -- in the present -- the Knowledge that (in the future) is sure to manifest.

WE SHALL ENJOY, NOW, THESE PRIVILEGES THAT BELONG TO THE "HUMAN" RACE, FOR WE ARE "Human-I-n-The-Making," and HEIRS to "Human" POSSIBILITIES.

Here -- in a Nutshell -- is a summary of results that have been obtained by others through the CONSCIOUS Practice of these Exercises, and by the APPLICATION of the Mastery acquirei, to different phases of life:

BETTER HEALTH, AND REJUVENATION OF THE BODY

24

NATUROSOPHIA

Better Health; Rejuvenation of Bodily Tissues; greater energy to DO; greater Understanding of Life's Activities; clear and noble ATTENTIVE Mind; Power to "help" Others by healing diseases; or by directing others into better channels of enterprise; an understanding of the MISSION to be followed by A HUMAN Being under any walk of life:

Power to transmute inharmony into HARMONY;
DISEASE into HEALTH; POVERTY into ABUNDANCE;
and -- above all -- TO FIND ONE'S TRUE POSITION IN THE SCALE OF EVOLUTION.

The KNOWLEDGE -- embodied in these Lessons -- will show the Student the REAL meaning of Astrology, Numerology, Occult Science, pointing out, in general, the NON-Essentials and Vagaries interpolated in these Sciences by those who KILL the SPIRIT by the DEAD Letter.

You are not the FIRST one to take this Course. There have been others who have profited by it, fulfilling the promises herein contained.

These SIX, PERSONAL Lessons -- given by the Instructor at appointed times -- will teach the CONTROL of the Organs and Functions of the Body; the liberation of the Poisons stored in the Body; and the establishing of HARMONY, within the different organs and processes of the LIVING Organism.

The Awakening of WILL and FEELING Forces, so as to transcend the LIMITATIONS imposed upon the Individual by the Errors and Misconceptions of the Past, setting free -- and liberating -- the Immense Amount of USABLE

NATUROSOPHIA

25

Energy potentially stored in the Organs and Tissues of the Body.

These SIX Personal Lessons -- orally delivered -- will be complemented by a DIRECT Teaching of the Method of Scientifically making the Mind subservient to The WHOLE Self, and teaching the CONTROL, USE, and EXPANSION of mental forces within the compass of The HUMAN Kingdom.

FOR THE FIRST TIME, THIS TEACHING HAS BEEN OFFERED TO ANYONE WHO SO DESIRES, WITHOUT ANY OBLIGATION AND WITHOUT ANY QUALIFICATION.

* * * * *

We are not laboring under any one banner, made by the Hands of Man, but by co-operation and support from LAWS APPLIED BY NATURE TO MAINTAIN AND FURTHER THE EVOLUTION OF EVERY OTHER KINGDOM.

Let the Reader understand, that this Teaching is not supported by any HIGH or SUPER Soul: it is neither the advent of MYSTICISM, nor of RELIGIOUS Impulse, but its TRUTH has been garnered in The Garden of Life's Actual Experiences.

WE HAVE APPLIED THE SAME LAWS THAT OTHERS HAVE APPLIED IN ELECTRICITY, NAVIGATION, RADIO, AIRPLANES, MAGNETISM, TO THE GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT, AND BETTERMENT OF THE HUMAN BEING.

AND WE HAVE FOUND A READY RESPONSE, CRYSTALIZED IN WONDERFUL ACHIEVEMENTS THAT HAVE SURPASSED -- IN ACTUAL EXPERIENCE -- THE WILDEST IMAGININGS OF THE MYSTIC DREAMER.

26

NATUROSOPHIA

WE HAVE TRANSFORMED LOWER STRATA INTO FER-
TILE SOIL, WITHOUT CEASING TO BE HUMAN. WE
HAVE VERIFIED THE DREAM OF THE SUPERNATURAL-
IST, AND PROVED -- TO OURSELVES AND OTHERS --
THAT THERE IS NO LIMIT TO HUMAN DEVELOPMENT:
THAT -- WITHIN THE HUMAN COMPASS -- THERE IS
AN ILLIMITABLE SPHERE OF DEVELOPMENT, AND
GROWTH THAT SURPASSES ALL THE ALLUREMENTS OF
THE SPIRITUALIST, OR THE OCCULTIST.

WE OFFER THIS "HUMAN EXPANSION OF CONSCI-
OUSNESS" -- THIS HUMAN CONTROL OF THE ORGANS
AND PROCESSES OF THE BODY -- WITHOUT ANY
QUALIFICATION WHATSOEVER, AS TO THE FURTHER
USE OF THIS KNOWLEDGE, FOR THOSE WHO HAVE
REALLY AWAKENED TO A GRANDER LIFE DO NOT
TRIFLE WITH TOYS AND NON-ESSENTIALS.

* * * * * * * *

In view of the above exposition, we think
it unnecessary for any aspirant to any of
the Courses offered herein, to seek any oth-
er information from the Instructor of this
Teaching.

Therefore, we do not grant appointments to
further elucidate our Method of Teaching,
nor shall we try to induce anyone to take up
this Teaching -- or to follow it -- if the
above statements are not sufficiently explan-
atory of the System and the Course, to form
a clear conception of the Knowledge offered
and the Means required to obtain such Knowl-
edge.
