Excerpt from Were You Born Under a Lucky Star?: A Complete Exposition of the Science of Astrology; Adapted From the Four Books of Ptolemy, the Astronomer, on the Art of Reading the StarsSo many eminent men, eminent both in science and literature, have been secretly interested in astrology of late years, that we may not unreasonably expect before long a public movement toward a scientific investigation of the observed facts in connection with it. And then we may hope that the ordinary man will not burst into peals of laughter at the very mention of the word "astrology" as he does today.There are several elements which militate against the serious study of astrology. The first and greatest is the almost utter lack in this day of anything approaching a scientific knowledge of mind and emotion. Astrology presumes to point out how mind and emotion are molded. But we must understand mind before we can reasonably go on to an investigation of the causes which made it so. What do the scientists know of love, the most powerful of human emotions! How very small is our knowledge of the natural processes of human observation and deduction! What little we do know, came down to us chiefly from the Greeks.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

How to Hypnotize Someone through Thought and ConversationHow to Use Conversational Hypnosis TechniquesComplete Hypnotism: Mesmerism, Mind-Reading and SpiritualismHow to Hypnotize: Being an Exhaustive and Practical System of Method, Application, and Useby A. AlpheusThere is no doubt that hypnotism is a very old subject, though the name was not invented till 1850. In it was wrapped up the "mysteries of Isis" in Egypt thousands of years ago, and probably it was one of the weapons, if not the chief instrument of operation, of the magi mentioned in the Bible and of the "wise men" of Babylon and Egypt. "Laying on of hands" must have been a form of mesmerism, and Greek oracles of Delphi and other places seem to have been delivered by priests or priestesses who went into trances of self-induced hypnotism. It is suspected that the fakirs of India who make trees grow from dry twigs in a few minutes, or transform a rod into a serpent (as Aaron did in Bible history), operate by some form of hypnotism. The people of the East are much more subject to influences of this kind than Western peoples are, and there can be no question that the religious orgies of heathendom were merely a form of that hysteria which is so closely related to the modern phenomenon of hypnotism. Though various scientific men spoke of magnetism, and understood that there was a power of a peculiar kind which one man could exercise over another, it was not until Frederick Anton Mesmer (a doctor of Vienna) appeared in 1775 that the general public gave any special attention to the subject. In the year mentioned, Mesmer sent out a circular letter to various scientific societies or "Academies" as they are called in Europe, stating his belief that "animal magnetism" existed, and that through it one man could influence another. No attention was given his letter, except by the Academy of Berlin, which sent him an unfavorable reply.START NOW

It was thought that magnetism had a right to be considered as a therapeutic agent, and that it might be used by physicians, though others should not be allowed to practice it. In 1837 another commission made a decidedly unfavorable report. Soon after this Burdin, a member of the Academy, offered a prize of 3,000 francs to any one who would read the number of a bank-note or the like with his eyes bandaged (under certain fixed conditions), but it was never awarded, though many claimed it, and there has been considerable evidence that persons in the hypnotic state have (sometimes) remarkable clairvoyant powers. Soon after this, magnetism fell into very low repute throughout France and Germany, and scientific men became loath to have their names connected with the study of it in any way. The study had not yet been seriously taken up in England, and two physicians who gave some attention to it suffered decidedly in profe
