How do I develop my inner powers? Run a diagnostic check on your equipment, and on yourself. How is your Will? Have you read the handbook? Do you know how to use your resources? Have you mistaken excitement for an electric current? Are you looking for kicks? A Master (the swine!) will cover the boring bits first. After that, he will study your physical abilities and your mental faculties, long before he gets as far as your 'inner powers'. You could always try to bribe him, but he might show you how high to jump with green back-legs.

Things do not work as they should. A radio is not much use if you cannot hear any music, but before chucking it in the dustbin, you should check several points. Are the batteries flat? Has a fuse blown? Was it properly switched on? Has the radio station been bombed? Did you tune-in to the correct wave-length? Is someone using the washing machine? Have the workers come out on strike? Have you got wax in your ears? and so on. Do you get the idea?

Do you teach healing? I will explain the various theories and techniques, but over the last two years I have been preparing a special series of recorded lessons on just this subject. Before the year is out, I hope to be teaching a new method of healing, and some of my closest associates will be holding courses in various centres up and down the country, as well as in Europe. I do not want to say any more just now.

Can you help people to succeed? There is an old saying that money breeds money, and to a certain extent it is true. Well, the same is true of success because progress in one field invariably leads to progress in another. Look how many of the world's greatest geniuses were in fact polymaths, i.e., people learned in many subjects. It is hard to see the overall picture when you are still having difficulties in this sphere or that one, but an outsider (such as a coach, a training specialist or a Master) can take a more objective view and put his finger on the exact spot where a little improvement would do most good.

Most of my students would confirm that, in both general terms and particular ones, life gets better as time goes by. Effort is rewarded, and you do not always have to wait long either. One word of caution though: a person's views on what constitutes success will change. Right at this moment you might yearn for 'X' to happen, but when other aspects have been adjusted and helped, you may well decide to change your target and to go for 'A' instead. A Master guarantees to lead his students toward self-fulfilment. and happiness. This may embrace material success, but even if not, it does lead to a sense of accomplishment and joy.

Can you also make people fail? What a strange idea. A Master only introduces a 'change' in someone's life if the goals they are aiming for would in fact be dangerous and undesirable. Just as a loving parent would never give a loaded gun to a child, so a Master would not give power to someone who is unable or unready to handle it responsibly. Apart from that, it would not be healthy if a Master got a kick out of punishing people or ruining them. Revenge, as they say, may be sweet, but we usually leave that sort of thing to the gods.

Would you do magic for a fee? Rather than strike a righteous pose, I will be utterly truthful and say: it depends on the kind of magic being sought. I wouldn't give one person an unfair advantage over another, but I would help a candidate for a job give an excellent account of himself. I would not help one rival win a girl's hand in preference to another, but I would help him to release his full sexual powers. I would not help an athlete to avoid pain when that is a warning of damage, but damage done, I would take the pain away. Other matters are less problematic. For example, I would gladly help young men master shyness, stop stuttering and develop confidence. I would help a child who, grieving at his parents' divorce, came out in eczema. There is a line that I would not cross, and each request has to be judged on its merits. It is not wrong to accept a fee because one must also eat, but it would be wrong to refuse help for someone who could not pay a fee. Fees are not fixed. They vary according to ability to pay and, in the past, it meant that I often went hungry.
