This volume is the first of a series of studies of the inner life, the main purpose of which is twofold. The point of approach is from the side of practical experience, and the first object is the development of a practical method. But incidentally, it is hoped that the facts and values of this practical study may be of service to philosophy. In fact, the production of these volumes was begun with the conviction that philosophy and life may be brought nearer, that practical interests put new demands upon philosophy.

In this work, my one and only purpose has been to acquaint the students with the means of developing and effectively using the mighty forces latent within him - personal magnetism and psychic influence. It will be helpful to some of the many who are endeavoring to overcome unfavorable environments, for which it may serve as a guidepost, pointing out the past to better things. I feel that it will do its share of the work of removing fear thought from the minds of men, of replacing "I can't" with "I can and I will."

The greatest thing ever known - what is it? Surely the answer must be one that is absolutely universal, both in its nature and in the possibilities of its application. In laying our foundation, therefore, it must be laid upon something as true and as certain as life itself, and as eternal as everlasting life. Let us make our approach, not from the theological standpoint, but from that which is far more certain and satisfactory - the philosophical.

"It is with some hesitation that we bring ourselves to write this little book, entitled The Secret of Success. Not that we are not in sympathy with the subject - not that we do not believe that there is a 'Secret of Success' - but because there has been so much written on the subject of 'Success' that is the veriest twaddle - masses of platitudinous wordiness - that we hesitate to take the position of a teacher of Success...."

To be observed today, to be changed tomorrow, or abandoned, according to tomorrow's light. To live to our highest in all things that pertain to us, and to lend a hand as best we can to all others for this same end. To aid in righting the wrongs that cross our path by pointing the wrong-doer to a better way, and thus aid him in becoming a power for good. To turn toward and to keep our faces always to the light, knowing that we are then always safe, and that we shall travel with joy the open road.

There is an ever-present principle of perfection which, when co-operated with, brings our own personal life into a state of order. There is, beneath the surface of things, an inner harmony into which we can enter, and with which we can become at one. This is the inner secret of all true religions - to show people how to find this interior order and harmony, and to become adjusted to them and at one with them. The object of this audiobook is to help people to find their way by an understanding of life and the laws and principles which govern it.

Here is an incredibly cogent and compelling path for those suffering the loss of a loved one, a way to help the departed on their evolutionary spiritual journey, as well as the first step to beginning the healing process in the hearts of the loved ones left behind. A thoughtful and sensitive gift for those needing guidance in a time of loss. It not only takes you by the hand and shows you how it works but delves deeply into the metaphysical aspect to show you why.

The genius of the present age in matters spiritual is towards simplicity, and the hunger of the human heart is for Truth naked and uninvolved. That hunger will eventually bring about (is already bringing about) its own satisfaction, and here and there are men and women who, passing through the Gateway of Self-conquest, are entering into possession of the Transcendent Righteousness.

From the Foreword: Along the highways of Burma there is placed, at regular distances away from the dust of the road, and under the cool shade of a group of trees, a small wooden building called a “rest-house”, where the weary traveller may rest a while, and allay his thirst and assuage his hunger and fatigue by partaking of the food and water which the kindly inhabitants place there as a religious duty.

The first three parts of this book, Passion, Aspiration, and Temptation, represent the common human life, with its passion, pathos, and tragedy. The last three parts, Transcendence, Beatitude, and Peace, represents the Divine Life calm, wise and beautiful of the sage and Savior.

This book, as well as the predecessor, The Sickle, have more or less been artificially suppressed for nearly 100 years. Now is the time for these volumes to be made available to the general public and those seeking the truth. As Walter states in the preface of The Sickle, these books are not for the trifler or those on a casual search. The journey is well worth the effort and the time is right with the expanding of human consciousness worldwide to reintroduce these volumes into the collective consciousness.

There is, and always has been, a widespread belief in fate, or destiny, that is, in an eternal and inscrutable power which apportions definite ends to both individuals and nations. This belief has arisen from long observation of the facts of life. Men are conscious that there are certain occurrences which they cannot control, and are powerless to avert. Birth and death, for instance, are inevitable, and many of the incidents of life appear equally inevitable. Men strain every nerve for the attainment of certain ends.

For the first time in nearly 100 years, The Sickle by William W. Walter (Volume 1) is now available to the general public. This metaphysical classic was far ahead of its time when written and even now stands firmly on its feet among Christian Science practitioners as well as those with a deep interest in metaphysics and healing.

"When a man enters a dark room he is not sure of his movements, he cannot see objects around him, or properly locate them, and is liable to hurt himself by coming into sudden contact with them. But let a light be introduced, and immediately all confusion disappears.... To the majority, life is such a dark room, and their frequent hurts...are caused by sudden contact with principles which they do not see, and are therefore not prepared to deal with. But when the light of wisdom is introduced into the darkened understanding, confusion vanishes...." (from the foreword by James Allen)
