But my belief in the boundless possibilities of this Law extends much further than the present measure of its justification. I have said before, I am neither exalte nor emotional, nevertheless I plainly discern in the spiritual manifestations, described in these pages, premonitions of the waxing of a mighty compelling-power which, once understood by man and utilised in the way intended by the Creator, will completely revolutionise life on this planet.

General belief in the occult sciences is practically an unknown quantity to-day, yet there are isolated cases here and there proving its justification and demonstrating its potency. In out of the way places, amid unlikely surroundings, may these instances of the tremendous power of Belief occasionally be met with.

When so encountered the Psychic simply and gratefully recognises and acknowledges the existence of spiritual dynamics, while the Physicist measuring, or attempting to measure, spiritual force by the unsuitable and impossible standards of physical science, naturally fails to arrive at a determination of any educational value.

Science, however, through some of her best exponents, has at length admitted that behind Matter there is a moving, propelling-power exercising enormous influence over it. But once she gracefully acknowledges that the great dynamic reservoir of the universe will be found where spiritual force is conserved, and lays her tribute to this mighty power on the altars of Truth, and, moreover, teaches the doctrine in her schools, Belief will accomplish the rest.

Belief to spiritual dynamics is what the powder is to the bullet. Without Belief, spiritual power necessarily remains inoperative. Without the powder behind it, the bullet would remain inert in the gun-barrel.

In the name of common-sense, then, let us not throw aside and waste Belief, but regard it as one of our choicest possessions and carefully cultivate and conserve it, for of this we may be sure that out of it spring all things. It is also certain that whatever man has accomplished in this world, whether for good or for evil, it has been accomplished by and through—Belief.

Many persons regard manifestations of the kind referred to in these pages as impossible. To such, demonstration of the truth will remain impossible.

To those who regard manifestations of the nature herein described as neither impossible nor supernatural, but believe in them with a whole-hearted, unshaken, and unshrinking faith, such revelations, while assuming quite normal proportions, will come not once but often; not sparingly and with niggard doles, but with plenteous over-flowing measure.

I would again offer my warmest and most heart-felt thanks for the great kindness of my dear friend, Percy Beard, who, by his patience and self-abnegation, has led me one step nearer God, and I thank him in the name of the Master.
