| Many other factors will warrant careful attention. The problem
of the individual is complicated by certain inherited tendencies of a family, national and
racial nature. These powerfully affect the physical body in both its aspects, producing
glamors of many kinds. It is also affected by certain inherited ideas which are the
embodied thought-forms of family, national and racial approaches to truth. These produce
powerful illusions to which the individual man easily succumbs. There are also the
inflowing forces of the sign into which the sun may be passing, such as the conditions
found in the world today, due to the fact that our sun is passing into a new sign of the
zodiac. Therefore powerful and new energies are playing upon humanity, producing effects
in all the three bodies. They are evoking glamors in the emotional nature and illusions
in the mental nature. Those easily subject to glamor become at this time conscious of an
emphasized duality. The subject, as you will therefore see, is vast, and this science of
the psychological influences and the results of their impact upon the human mechanism is,
as yet, in its infancy. I have, however, indicated enough to arouse interest and to start
investigation in this new field of psychological activity. To return to the
