Ok, Gentlemen, let us drink a toast to a friend of man. He has returned to the fold.
The book has REALLY worked mysteriously on our dear OP! How??? You'll understand when you read these lines:
Quote from the "same" book by Napolean Hill (Dear OP, read these lines carefully!):
Some six months after I had discontinued the practice I was awakened
one night, or thought I was, when I saw Lincoln standing at my bedside. He
said, ?The world will soon need your services. It is about to undergo a period
of chaos which will cause men and women to lose faith and become panic
stricken. go ahead with your work and complete your philosophy. That is
your mission in life. If you neglect it, for any cause whatsoever, you will be
reduced to a primal state and be compelled to retrace the cycles through
which you have passed during thousands of years.?
I was unable to tell when morning came whether I had dreamed this, or
had actually been awake, and I have never since found out which it was, but
I do know that the dream?if it were a dream?was so vivid in my mind the
next day that I resumed my meetings the following night and have ever since
continued them.
At our next meeting the members of my Cabinet all filed into the room
together and stood at their accustomed places at the council table, while
Lincoln raised a glass and said,
?gentlemen, let us drink a toast to a friend
of man. He has returned to the fold.?
