HYPNOTISM
as the latter has but one property. If water is charged with that property, it will produce but one kind of result, but human magnetism may produce any result, because it always acts according to the desire of the person who possesses it. Therefore by human magnetism, water may be charged with any. quality, and this must therefore be a very important factor in life. By many of our acts and thoughts we are either storing or wasting it. How do we waste it ? And how store it? That is a practical question. We waste it in physical, mental and moral acts, by doing those physical acts which stimulate the body, which take away our thoughts to matters which are of no use to us or any other person. In that way we waste our energies, or our magnetism, by thinking on dress or of matters of no importance to us or to other human beings. We spend it, too, by entertaining desires for doing goyd, by spending our best wishes to others, and in this way we spend it for good. We can restore it by moral acts, and desires of doing good produce in the mind a change or a force, and that force eliminates the worst parts of the mentality and becomes magnetism of a positive nature, so that it will gather only the best things. But this is only the physical method of storing magpetism. By physical austerities we can evolve that same force to as high a degree as possible, and by taking physical means we can stop the waste of the magnetism. If we think of no useless patters, if we stay in a certain posture for half an hour,
