INNER VISION. 85 tage-stamps, —a tax I propose to avoid henceforth. People also write me if I receive pupils in the mystic sciences; and if I still teach the art of forecasting the future by Plato’s Numbers and the Oriental Pfal? The answer is, Yes, when paid for tt ; not without. And the fee for replies to the meaning of any series of seven numbers, simple or compound, chosen at random from any figures from I to 408, is fifty cents each reply. But if there be seven numbers sent, chosen from between the figures 1 to and above 408, up to 1000, the fee for replies to any seven such numbers is seventy-five cents. Ifchosen from between 1001 and 2000, the fee is one dollar. If from between 2001 and 3010, the replies often occupy whole sheets of paper, and the fee is two dollars and fifty cents upward. The numbers 1 to 408 are simple; from 408 to 1000 double; from 1000 to 2000 compound; from 2001 to 3010 involute numbers, all bearing strange, weird meanings, warnings, or prophecies, concealed beneath the underlying soul number. But I am no longer able or willing to do these things, or to teach the art without a quid pro quo, — rent-paying, breadbuying, future-providing pay. At this point I expressly wish to caution people not to spend either their time or money in the pursuit of occult science, either through mesmerism, magnetism, or the mirror method, unless such persons have a natural bias, tendency, qualities of mind, or general aptitude thereto; for, if they do, disappointments may head them at every step of the journey. On the contrary, I consider the power of positive seership of such immense value and importance, that no expense of time, patience, and means is too great in order to obtain it. I have known persons who spent much time and money in the effort to reach interior vision without the slightest success, because there was some primal, organizational obstacle in the way. Some have failed, and given it up entirely; but after a time the sight came, as it were, without effort, which was so because their repeated efforts had given them an impetus in the proper direction; and in the fulness of time the power was duly born. I have also known numerous cases wherein the power of seership resulted from the very first trial, and thereafter continued to intensify and deepen, until their hearts had but little more to long for in that specific direction. To all, I say, If you think you have the latent quality, by all means seek to strengthen and develop it. But if not, then save yourself unnecessary waste of time and trouble. P. B.
