Have you often— "when alone—censored yourself for impul- sive urges, for things said or done that did not truly represent your real thoughts, and which placed you at a disadvantage? Most persons are creatures of sensa- tion—they react to instinctive, impelling influences which surge up within them and which they do’not understand—or know how to control. Just as simple living things involuntarily withdraw from irri- tations, so likewise thousands of men and women are content to be motivated by their undirected thoughts which haphaz- ardly rise up in their consciousness.

You must learn how to draw upon your latent talents and powers, not be bent like a reed in the wind. There are simple, natural laws and principles which— if you understand them—make all this possible. For centuries the Rosicrucians (not a religious or- ganization), a worldwide movement of men and ‘women devoted to the study of life and its hidden Processes, have shown thousands how to probe these mysteries of self, Renowned philosophers and scien- tists have been Rosicrucians—today men and wo- men in every walk of life owe their confidence and ability to solve personal problems to the Rosicrucian private, sensible method of self-development, Send today for a copy of the book, “The Mastery of Life,”” which will be sent to you without obligation.
