Excerpt from Karmenia, or What the Spirit Told Me "Truth Stranger Than Fiction" A Series of Short Occult Stories, Real Experiences During the Life of a Man 72 Years of Age, Garnished in the Clothes of Fiction I believe I am safe in saying I have had a broader experience in these lines than any other man that ever investigated the subject. Why I have been ostracized and kept from the press and the public eye will readily be seen by the reader of my books, What is Com ing, and my Bible Astrology, as these subjects are not popular and that selfishness and bigotry that has caused the world to crawl over the prejudice of knaves, bigots and fools, in all ages, discourages and retards invention and investiga tion, and makes the road of the genius and the philosopher a hard road to travel, until he scores success, and then they who hindered his progress are ready to bend the knee and bow the head to mammon and smile and smirk under the banners they besmeared.
