Inspired as I am by a deep conviction, springing from a long line of experimental elucidations and deductions pointing to the conclusion that, if a man desires sincerely and seriously, and out of no mere curiosity, to attain to the knowledge of the way leading to Real Being, and if he fulfils to this end all that is requested of him and begins, in fact, among Other things to aid indirectly, and from his very first step, the attainment of this by Others, he will, by this act alone, become as it were the forming ground for the real data contributing to the manifestation of objective and actual Good; and animated as I am by the general intention of arriving finally, by means of my literary arguments and public demonstrations proposed for the near future of experimental elucidations, at the instilling into the consciousness of my contemporaries of several such “psychic-initiative” factors as in my opinion as well as in that of every man capable of a little impartial meditation ought inevitably to act as guiding principles in the consciousness of all creatures presuming to call themselves “God-Like”, of such “initiative” factors, namely, as should certainly include the factor inducing men both to react instinctively and, upon reflection, to realize clearly the moral obligation to help ones neighbour,—I have now decided upon the very act of selling and of spreading far and wide the contents of this first of my writings intended to head the list of my publications and directed, by the fulfilment of the task originally imposed upon myself, to initiate of itself in mans consciousness the formation of the aforesaid and, for the communal life of people, important ”psychic” factor.
