I would say to my students, make haste slowly. Do not try to rush
development too rapidly. Perfect and develop yourself in one line of
psychic power, before seeking another. Take things cooly, and do not lose
your head because you happen to achieve some wonderful phenomena. Do not
become conceited and vain-glorious. And, finally, do not prostitute your
powers to ignoble ends, and make a cheap show of them. By cheapening and
prostituting the higher psychic powers, the student frequently ends by
losing them altogether. Moderation in all things is the safe policy. And
it always is well for the occultist to resist temptation to use his powers
for unworthy, sensational, or purely selfish purposes.
LESSON XII.
CLAIRVOYANCE OF THE FUTURE
Future-Time Clairvoyance, as indicated by its name, is that class of
clairvoyant phenomena which is concerned with the perception of facts,
events and happenings of future time. In this class of clairvoyant
phenomena naturally fall all genuine cases of prophecy, prevision,
foretelling, second-sight, etc. History, theological and secular, is
filled with instances of the foretelling of the future by prophets, wise
men, and others. By many, such powers are generally regarded as
supernatural or divine. Without wishing to combat such theories and
beliefs, I would say that the advanced occultists account for all such
phenomena under the general laws of clairvoyance.
