There shines within each soul a light divine, that may transcend the beauty of the star which rules its destiny, and with its quickening glow, send out duration of live giving principles, that may creep into every cranny of darkness and of doubt, and by the law of transmutation change it to a bower of brightness and of love. Behold the sun in its splendor, as it gives forth the glowing shades of sundown; even so does the transcended light within, throw forth its many colored vibrations, through its agency, the aura. So may we all upon the canvas of life depict a picture of startling brilliancy and beauteous colorings." -- 490 pp.,

Summary: (from the Introduction), "The object of the present volume is to render the thoughtful reader more pensive concerning the vast depths of the inner mental realm. All the elemental powers of the earth are nothing in comparison with the powers of the mind. The intricate machinery of the universe is directed by thought. Of this illimitable universal machinery, man's mentality is a quality. Through conscious direction of this quality, the highest ambitions can be realized. To the thoughtful reader, the present volume seeks to point out the rationality in the great fact of nature, and to demonstrate that man is an all-important cog in the natural machine.

It discusses, moreover, the natural laws and explains their immutability by pointing out an instance where a natural law has been violated and the consequences which followed subsequent to the violation. The tenor throughout is highly optimistic, and where a bleak picture has been painted, it was done to accentuate the bright which follows thereafter. The theory of the volume is that the great mental life which governs man can be shaped, guided, and controlled by man himself through suggestion. Positive thoughts only, build." --

Excellent early work that discusses the natural laws that govern the process of manifestation. Recommended reading for those interested in crowd psychology. Illustrates some important components in understanding the basis of financial bubbles (what happens when natural laws are violated; as with fiat currencies). 238 pp.

Bookseller Note:
For anyone familiar with Carlo Marie Flumiani, it should be no surprise that this title like many of his others are very "scattered" in terms of organization and content. If nothing else, this is a great example of his questionable mental condition and artistic flare for illustrating his theories on price movement within the context of Elliott's Wave Theory and Flumiani's Cylinder Theory. Very Collectible for Flumiani enthusiast, but there are better instructional titles out there for those really interested in learning about Elliott Wave Theory. 112 pages.
