Great truths are dangerous to / some – but factors for personal power / and accomplishment in the hands of / those who understand them. Behind the / tales of the miracles and mysteries / of the ancients, lie centuries of / their secret probing into nature’s / laws – their amazing discoveries of / the hidden processes of man’s mind. / These facts remain a useful heritage / for the thousands of men and women / who privately use them in their homes / today."
