HYPNOTISM
That difference is only the result of goodness or badness, of forces generated in the past life. By this persons are able to give away a certain part of this fluid. The person may not care to use it for the best purpose, but the soul can impart it to other persons. A great objection which is urged against using this magnetic fluid is that we ought not to impart our own individuality to other people. It should not be mixed up with that of others. Yet we do impart something of this to others. In all charitable works we impart something to the people to whom we become charit. able; we impart something of ourselves to money or clothes, and while these physical articles receive only the physical part of the individuality, this magnetic fluid is of a different kind, and at once the mental, and moral nature of the individual ; and while by giving away the money, books or clothes we influence the physical being of another person, by the magnetic fluid we influence the mental and moral being also. And here the question comes in. What would be the effect of wearing the clothing of another person. As we are all afraid of contagious diseases, because the germs are flying in all directions ; in the same inanner 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
