earth. In more recent times, the same method has been employed to accomplish assassinations which remain inexplicable to justice. One finds, in certain cases, little wounds or punctures on the bodies of the dead that are not enough to justify death and one does not dream of finding an inhuman Mage, who amuses himself by perforating, with a needle or the point of a sharp knife, the flesh, apparently inert, of a statue whose occult link can turn life into death. 10. To neutralize the "Volt" and to annul its link with the subject, it is necessary to plunge it into water heated to 122 degrees Fahrenheit. For complete neutralization, the statuette must stay in the hot bath for three days. The temperature in the room must be stabilized at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. 11. Sometimes—although very rarely—the three days prescribed are not sufficient to eliminate all the effects of the "Volt" on the subject. In this case, the bath of the statue must be repeated one or two more times. p 79: Individual Fluid Condensers [Please notice Randolph's very interesting and original opinion about a fully balanced person.] To prepare an individual fluid condenser, one establishes, first of all, the respective values of the forces and the planetary weaknesses. This, then, will reveal the scheme of the natal horoscope of the person with whom one is occupied. Generally, one establishes an evident predominance of one of the planets over all the others, by a very strong numerical indication. Other forces are found to the contrary, to be in weakness and, often, have negative values. It is useful for the operator to fill in these gaps by means of the fluid condenser; by attracting to the subject the planetary influences which he lacks, accentuating and augmenting his insufficient faculties. The horoscope of an perfectly balanced individual would give the same numerical indication for all the planetary influences in the natal theme. Expressed in colors, with the horoscope presented on a disk and divided into seven equal parts, all the planetary shades would be united. But an individual thus influenced has no preponderant capacity and his life elapses in a dreadful monotony. He brings nothing original, nothing of interest. This monster of equilibrium has no possibility of concentrating on a problem of any kind for very long that is not strictly necessary for his physical existence. He can never, then, develop in himself a mental current susceptible to training for superior horizons. This is a mediocre, a man of small emotions and dead aspirations, without passions or special characteristics. He does not awake fear or love in another person and he give nothing remarkable to humanity. We must be careful not to create an equilibrium thus monstrous in a person who confides themselves to us. Therefore, allow the force that rules to
