egenerated. This work of development is long and difficult, and necessitates more than one existence. It is
never too soon to begin. The good results will not fail to manifest themselves. All that you lose in sensations of
a lower order you will gain in super-earthly perceptions, in mental and moral equilibrium, and in the joys of
the spirit. Your inner senses will acquire an extraordinary acuteness and delicacy. You will one day attain the
power of communicating with the higher spheres. The religions have sought to attain these powers by
communion and prayer. But the prayers in use by many churches are an ensemble of formulae learned and
repeated mechanically, and powerless to give the soul the lofty flight necessary to establish the rapport with
superior realms. There must be an interior appeal, a rigorous concentration and profound impulse, to attain
results. That is why we have always advocated the improvised prayer – the cry of the soul which in its love
and faith flings all the forces accumulated within it toward the object of its desire.
In place of inviting the spirits celestial by means of invocation to descend us, we learn in this manner
to free our souls and mount toward them. Meanwhile certain precautions are necessary. The invisible world is
peopled with entities of all kinds, and he who penetrates there ought to possess sufficient perfection, and to be
inspired by sentiment high enough, to put him above all the suggestions of evil. Above all, he should conduct
his researches under sure and safe guides. It is by moral progress that one obtains the necessary force to
dominate the earth-bound spirits that often seek to surround us. The full possession of ourselves, and a tranquil
and profound knowledge of the eternal laws, will preserve us from dangers and delusions, and at the same time
will procure for us the means of controlling the forces in action on the occult plane.
