Nor does he follow the stray bits of
so-called historical information, often concocted by interested parties
and found scattered hither and thither in the fragments of classical
writers, whose original texts themselves have not seldom been tampered
with. The Occultist follows the ethnological affinities and their
divergences in the various nationalities, races and sub-races, in a more
easy way; and he is guided in this as surely as the student who
examines a geographical map. As the latter can easily trace by their
differently coloured outlines the boundaries of the many countries and
their possessions; their geographical superficies and their separations
by seas, rivers and mountains; so the Occultist can by following the
(to him) well distinguishable and defined auric shades and gradations of
colour in the inner-man unerringly pronounce to which of the several
distinct human families, as also to what special group, and even small
sub-group of the latter, belongs any particular people, tribe, or man.
This will appear hazy and incomprehensible to the many who know nothing
of ethnic varieties of nerve-aura, and disbelieve in any "inner-man"
theory, scientific but to the few.
