HYPNOTISM
all afraid of contagious diseases, because the germs are flying in all directions ; in the same manner all persons do impart certain parts of their individuality to their clothing ; and therefore if we use this, we can take something which has been imparted, and in that way be influenced either for good or evil. And not only this, but people are generally either in a negative condition or in a positive condition; one is not bad and 'the other good, but they are of opposite natures. The person whose clothing we are going to use may be of an opposite nature, andi f these things mix, a feeling of displeasure is produced and wr are made uneasy; so for that consideration also, it is not advisable to use clothing worn by other people. So far as mesmerism is c01cerned that system in which we impart something from our own body to others, we must consider that we do impart something of ourselves and that may be of a questionable character. The intention is not the only cause of making it good or bad; there are causes generated in the past life. We do not know what they are, and on this account also this fluid may be good or bad; it carrot be chsnged now, and although our intentions may be the best in this life, on account of the very Dature of the fluid, it may injure other people. The best way for such persons is not to try to impart their magnetic fluid to other people, but only to have the best wishes in their minds, and to entertain a desire for doing good always to others; because the very desire will send only vibrations of gcoddess to others
