to get all this in your sub-conscious. You had to practice
repetition before you could do the multiplication tables, and
I am trying to do something for you, help you by placing this
knowledge into your sub-conscious.
There are many firms who choose applicants largely on
the basis of the handwriting, and so it's to your own interest
to brush up on your handwriting. You might get a better job
or more money that way. You might also get an assessment
of character from a good graphologist because that will help
you to overcome any weakness in character and to streng-
then those which are already strong. But never, never believe
that you can have your  fortune told from your hand-
writing. You cannot.
One of the original systems for telling a person's past,
present and future is by palmistry, reading all those queer
marks on the palm. Again, if one really knows how to do it it
is just about infallible. In brief and assuming that you are
right handed, then your left hand will indicate what you
planned to do in this life, and will indicate the equipment
with which you came, that is, are you artistic, are you a
plodder, are you quick tempered or stolid? The left hand
tells what one planned, but the right hand shows what one
has actually achieved up to date. The average practitioner
can give quite a good assessment of character from the lines
of the hands and fingers, but it needs to be a far more than
average practitioner to be able to tell truthfully of the past
life and the probabilities for the future. Now, let me stress
that point again; the  probabilities. There is nothing on this
Earth that can say definitely and incontrovertibly what will
94
happen to a person, there is no science, no art, no skill, no
device which will say what is going to happen to a person
beyond any shadow of doubt. Truthful practitioners will
admit that they can tell only probabilities.
Take, by way of example, some poor fellow who falls out
of a plane without a parachute; well, anyone would be
justified in saying that he is virtually dead as soon as he
starts to fall because as soon as he stops falling there is a
horrid splat, and he has left his mark on the Earth. But, wait
a moment - he may not fall on something hard. There are
quite a few cases of people falling out of aeroplanes and
surviving to tell the tale which they do! In my own case I
fell out of a plane when it was on fire, I fell about a thousand
feet, and I sustained very severe spine injuries which caused
a certain amount of curvature of the spine. Other people
have fallen safely, there was one poor fellow who fell out of a
plane and hit a haystack and his only real danger was the
fear of being suffocated before watchers could take him out,
dig him out from the bottom of the haystack. He got a bump
or two and a king size fright, but he was no worse off.
Another well known case happened in Switzerland. The
pilot had to leave his plane and he left without his para-
chute, it seems, and he fell through the cold Swiss air and
landed in a deep snowdrift. His only danger was in freezing
to death, and people had to dig frantically to dig him out,
and his only trouble was feeling a bit chilly. So you see any
astrologer would have said that the fellow would meet his
death in an air accident because the probability would be
there but the actuality wasn t.
If any soothsayer, clairvoyant, astrologer, palmist, etc.,
etc., ad lib, tells you such a thing will definitely be, then just
grab your money and run for it. You can be told prob-
abilities but always, always keep in mind that they are prob-
ablities only and nothing more, nothing at all more. If you
can keep your head and use a little bit of will-power and
imagination, the probabilities can be overcome.
There is a classic example of that. Do you know it? Well,

Socrates, one of the very wise men, had his horoscope pre-
pared, it seems, when he was a very young man. The hor-
oscope indicated that he would be a most enthusiastic thug
and murderer and would engage in all forms of villainy with
great elan. The young Socrates exclaimed to himself the
Greek equivalent of  Bud, that's for the birds; I'm changing
fast, and decided to do something about it. So he channeled
all his energies into knowledge, into philosophical works,
and now he is revered as one of the great Sages, he has made
his indelible mark on the pages of time whereas if he had
just sat down under the weight of an unfavorable hor-
oscope he might have just left his imprint on the Crooks'
Calendar of Crime. So there it is, even if an astrologer or a
palmist tells you something which frightens you enormously,
remember, you can overcome it, you can always sidetrack
bad things.
By letters which I receive I gather that most of you have
the impression that authors such as I recline in plush splen-
dour and have a whole gang of secretaries waiting with
bated breath to hurry to do one's bidding. I gather that many
of you think that an author such as I has a Rolls-Royce
knocking at the door, ready to take me out. It's not so, it's
not so at all. Actually I am reclining in some discomfort in [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
