THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES
A. An unwholesome fluidic emission, made with a bad
intention; for example, to know the secrets of others, or to
arrive at unworthy ends.
Q. What is the result of it ?
A. It puts out of order the fluidic instrument of precision,
both in the case of the magnetizer and of the magnetized.
To this cause one must attribute the immoralities and the
follies with which a great number of those who occupy
themselves with magnetism are reproached.
Q. What conditions are required in order to magnetize
properly?
A. Health of spirit and body; right intention, and discreet
practice.
Q. What advantageous results can one obtain by discreet
magnetism ?
A. The cure of nervous diseases, the analysis of presenti-
ments, the re-establishment of fluidic harmonies, and the
rediscovery of certain secrets of Nature.
Q. Explain that to us in a more complete manner.
A. We shall do so in the third part of this work, which
will treat specially of the mysteries of Nature.
