As the personal man is the limitation and inversion of the spiritual man, all his faculties and powers are inversions of the powers of the spiritual man. AS THE PERSONAL MAN IS THE LIMITATION AND INVERSION OF THE SPIRITUAL MAN ALL HIS FACULTIES AND POWERS ARE INVERSIONS OF THE POWERS OF THE SPIRITUAL MAN
piritual Powers. In considering these spiritual powers, two things must be understood and kept in memory. The first of these is this: These spiritual powers can only be gained when the development described in the first and second books has been measurably attained; when the Commandments have been kept, the Rules faithfully followed, and the experiences which are described have been passed through. For only after this is the spiritual man so far grown, so far disentangled from the psychical bandages and veils which have confined and blinded him, that he can use his proper powers and faculties. For this is the secret of all spiritual powers: they are in no sense an abnormal or supernatural overgrowth upon the material man, but are rather the powers and faculties inherent in the spiritual man, entirely natural to him, and coming naturally into activity, as the spiritual man is disentangled and liberated from psychical bondage, through keeping the Commandments and Rules already set forth. S IS THE BOOK OF SPIRITUAL POWERS IN CONSIDERING THESE SPIRITUAL POWERS TWO THINGS MUST BE UNDERSTOOD AND KEPT IN MEMORY THE FIRST OF THESE IS THIS THESE SPIRITUAL POWERS CAN ONLY BE GAINED WHEN THE DEVELOPMENT DESCRIBED IN THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS HAS BEEN MEASURABLY ATTAINED WHEN THE COMMANDMENTS HAVE BEEN KEPT THE RULES FAITHFULLY FOLLOWED AND THE EXPERIENCES WHICH ARE DESCRIBED HAVE BEEN PASSED THROUGH FOR ONLY AFTER THIS IS THE SPIRITUAL MAN SO FAR GROWN SO FAR DISENTANGLED FROM THE PSYCHICAL BANDAGES AND VEILS WHICH HAVE CONFINED AND BLINDED HIM THAT HE CAN USE HIS PROPER POWERS AND FACULTIES FOR THIS IS THE SECRET OF ALL SPIRITUAL POWERS THEY ARE IN NO SENSE AN ABNORMAL OR SUPERNATURAL OVERGROWTH UPON THE MATERIAL MAN BUT ARE RATHER THE POWERS AND FACULTIES INHERENT IN THE SPIRITUAL MAN ENTIRELY NATURAL TO HIM AND COMING NATURALLY INTO ACTIVITY AS THE SPIRITUAL MAN IS DISENTANGLED AND LIBERATED FROM PSYCHICAL BONDAGE THROUGH KEEPING THE COMMANDMENTS AND RULES ALREADY SET FORTH
